A Name? How about a Coach?
Through the past few weeks, I have kept relatively quiet about the defensive coordinator search for The University of Tennessee football program. I said relatively quiet, I have made a call here and there, but the filter doesn’t work sometimes. I have laughed at the different “sources” that different media people in this [...]
Time Warp?
My good friend Will West has been debating a topic over the last few days – “If you could go back in time and still have Coach Fulmer, would you? When I heard this, I thought it was a fantastic topic to debate.
Here is my take:
Coach Fulmer’s time was up here at Tennessee. [...]
Week 8 CFB Picks – ONE LATE CHANGE!!
YTD record is 23-15 (61%)
1 – Bama -28(-115)
I grabbed this one early as most books have it as 29. I don’t think it matters. Trust me, I would be ok losing this one, but Bama is better than LSU, PERIOD.

2 – Does Derek Dooley get his first “signature” win?
He was close [...]

The “Reverse-Line Movement” as it Relates to the Public
We all know that Vegas doesn’t have fancy hotels and sportsbooks because they lose money. They feast on the urges of degenerate gamblers. Don’t ask me what goes into setting a line for a college football game, because I don’t know. One thing I do know is that as the season progresses, [...]
Week Two Analysis and Plays – Easy Boys
