So Knotes
So Knotes are Will West’s views on the world of sports from the office window of his South Knoxville abode…you know, once you look past the empty strip malls and kudzu.

Jimmy Clausen should, but won’t win the Heisman. Halfway through the season Clausen’s running away with the nation’s passing crown while playing against a relatively [...]
Louisville Wants Jon Gruden
We mentioned yesterday that Jon Gruden is on the top of Daniel Snyder’s wish list to be the next coach of the Washington Redskins and now a college team also wants Gruden. The Louisville Cardinals have Gruden at the top of the list to replace Steve Kragthorpe when he is fired sometime in the near [...]
Good News of the Day: Stafon Johnson Released From Hospital
USC has a BCS “playoff” game against Notre Dame on Saturday as neither team can afford to lose another game if they want to make a good BCS bowl. The Trojans received good news on Wednesday as running back Stafon Johnson was released from the hospital after suffering a freak weightlifting incident earlier this season. [...]
Alabama is No. 1 in New Mumme Poll
What is the Mumme Poll? It is a poll that begins after games of Week Six have been played. This is one of the best reads out there as it takes away the biased perspectives that certain beat reporters have across the country. We always support a website that mocks Hal Mumme voting Hawaii No. [...]
College Football: Weekend Overreactions
Worst weekend for football watching of the year. A lot of that’s on the NFL as well, but the college ranks really did there part to make you wish that you’d taken the significant other to see Couples Retreat. None the less, we know a little bit more about the college football world than we [...]
College Football Talking Points
Let’s just say, for arguments sake, that the Vols lose again to Georgia and Crompton stinks the place up in the process (both very distinct possibilities). For the fifth week in a row the talk of the town will turn to the same QB questions that Tennessee fans were asking last year.
We’ve decided to provide [...]
Power Rankings: Top 5 College Football Games of the Weekend
1)  Florida at LSU: Will Tebow play? Will Tebow sit? Ridiculous question as far as we’re concerned. If the game’s close Tebow will be in the huddle. The real question is whether LSU’s OL can get a push against the Gators front seven. If LSU can run the ball, they can make this interesting. If [...]
Is Tennessee the New Michigan?
We can’t help but compare this year’s Tennessee team to last year’s Michigan squad. Both historically proud programs were decimated by lackadaisical practice attitudes, a fall off in recruiting, departures, injuries, and a clear lack of play makers.Â
Hopefully Tennessee fans won’t jump ship on this staff as quickly as that fickle bunch in Ann Arbor [...]
The Cost of Berry’s Heisman Campaign
Let’s get this out of the way from the beginning, Eric Berry had no chance of winning the Heisman trophy. Defensive backs on mediocre teams don’t win many individual awards.
That said the Heisman campaign for Berry has been pretty freaking clever. The best part? They did it on the cheap. Our guy Chip Kain has [...]
College Football: Weekend Overreactions
Miami is who we though they were before we thought that they weren’t. The Canes ended Oklahoma’s title hopes with a very solid win at their crib during primetime. Will someone please permanently remove Randy Shannon from the hot seat? The Canes aren’t getting the love that other 1 loss team’s are getting despite playing [...]
