Big Orange Michael

Outside of Bama and Florida, there's one team in the SEC that I want to beat badly year in and year out and that's Georgia. I've endured a lot of Georgia fans over the years who seem to be unhappy in winning and unhappy in losing, so I'd honestly rather see them unhappy for losing.

I went to the UT vs Northern Illinois game this past weekend, not quite sure what to expect. Not just from the team on the field, but also from the fans. Seems there were rumblings all last week of fans who are so upset over the current state of the program that to show their unrest, they weren't going to attend.

At one point in the two-hour third-season premiere, one of the characters basically tells another that he or she isn't as smart as he or she would like to believe. That little bit of banter is pretty much "Heroes" in a nutshell right now--it's not nearly as smart as it wants to be or is pretending to be.

The Same Old Story

...my complete and utter disappointment with the effort (or should I say complete lack of effort) by the Tennessee football team today.

Earlier this week, I heard a supposed UT fan call into one of our local call in shows and say the worst thing that could ever happen would be for the Vols to win this weekend. His logic--if we win, it means the Vols could get ten wins this year, including a bowl win and we'd beat a big rival when we weren't supposed to.

The mad dash for gasoline continues in Smyrna. The local Home Depot fuel station had gas but ran out about an hour ago. The local Kroger gas has some but cars are lined up a dozen deep from all directions, trying to get some fuel. And there are several other stations in town that are out of gas.

I couldn't believe the lines. It looked like something out of the late 70's.

It's nice to get back on the winning track, though I will admit I still have some concerns.
