fumble

I just tried to write down a plan for getting everything done I need to do this week (15 hours of training with kids not in school Thursday, Friday, and Monday, plus a needed car repair and a science project), but writing it all down just made me feel worse and I became so overwhelmed I erased it all.

Like I said yesterday, 3-0 feels pretty good.  Yesterday's game was a whole lot different than I thought it would be, but the Titans won and that is all that matters.

To get us ready for this weekends game with the Texans we have 5 questions with Battle Red Blog:

I want to start by saying thank you to August West for picking up a lot of writing while I have been out.  We are finally back home, so the writing on the site should be back to normal.  Here are my thoughts on the game:

Crompton overthrows yet another receiver

Back by unpopular demand for 2008, it’s Football Friday! Vegas bookies now officially have pee running down their legs - not unlike Chrissy Matthews from PMSNBC.

So, one game into the season and we're already hearing the cries to "Fire Fulmer."

Am I disappointed we lost the game Monday night? Yes.

Do I think Fulmer bears part of the blame as head coach? Yes.

Do I also think that the players also bear some of the blame? Yes.

Do I believe Fulmer should be fire? No.

And why not?

Sports analogies run rampant through our society, often trivializing big moments and minor setbacks. We will say that a speaker “knocked it out of the park” when they receive a standing ovation or say that he or she “fumbled” when a joke is met with uneasy faces. But I am a sports fan, and cliche analogies happen to be a language in which I am fluent.

All the anticipation and excitement for a new football season, full of promise, hope and a ton of questions came to a climax last night when the Vols traveled to the West Coast to play UCLA. And, as with most trips to the West Coast, the Vols came away not doing so well.

-Ahmard Hall let the ball goes right through his hands on the first play of the quarter.  He probably wouldn't have gotten much even if he caught it.

-There was absolutely nothing there on the 3rd down play.  That is what happens when you don't have a receiver that can make a play.
