College Football: Weekend Overreactions
Georgia’s got friggin’ problems. Yes, Joe Cox had the flu. Sure, it doesn’t help that Caleb King was out with the hamstring issue. Of little importance. Gerogia’s vaunted OL couldn’t create a hole all day. This is an OK State defense that Oklahoma dropped 60 on last year. UGA had 6 linemen with a year of [...]
Clawson Asks Knoxville How His @$$ Tastes
This is our Bob McNair moment. McNair is the owner of the Houston Texans that should tell the world to suck it for blasting him when he drafted Mario Williams ahead of Reggie Bush. We know how that turned out. We’ve said all along that the dreaded “Clawfense” wasn’t the issue and that UT’s 2008 [...]

Brown was cleared to play by the NCAA on Thursday. That hasn’t strengthened our confidence. We’ve yet to speak to anyone [...]

What the Gerald Jones Injury Means
Tennessee WR Gerald Jones is out 4-6 weeks with a high ankle sprain, although the Vols are hoping that he’ll be back for the Sept. 12 game with UCLA. Here’s what Jones injury means to UT.

Raise Your Hand if You Aren’t Injured
Just when you were about to allow yourself a glimmer of optimism about this season, Gerald Jones goes down. There are far too many questions to ask. Who’s going to dive into the dirt to attempt to catch one of Jonathan Crompton’s 85 mph underthrown passes? Who will run right every single time out of [...]
