#18 - UCLA vs Tennessee

UCLA vs Tennessee
September 1, 2008
Rose Bowl Stadium
Los Angeles, CA

Why?: SEC/Pac 10, MFers! Plus, it's the Labor Day night game (with Fresno at Rutgers being the early game) and I'll hopefully be so full of grilled meat and sweet tea by kick off that I'll have no other choice than to lay in front of a TV and watch it while desperately trying to hold it all down at the sight of all that putrid orange.

Who do I think will win?: The Vols should fare better on this year's season opening jaunt to the west coast considering the Bruins are breaking in a new head coach and offensive co-ordinator, can't keep a QB upright at the moment, and have to pretty well rebuild their entire offensive line (see inability to keep QB upright). Meanwhile the defense is inexperienced in the secondary while the Vols are going spread heavy with new OC Dave Clawson. It could get ugly for the Bruins quickly.

Who do I hope will win?: Conference loyalty be damned, I'm not pulling for the Vols unless it somehow benefits Alabama. Go Bruins.

Looking Forward to Labor Day Weekend

I’ll be going to MTSU’s (alma mater) home game on Thursday night, unfortunately working Friday, watching Bama and a host of other games Saturday, the Ole Miss game and hosting my Fantasy Football League’s live draft on Sunday, and then of course watching this game after grilling all day Monday. Football Season can’t get here soon enough.

And I have to pull for the Vols, and all SEC teams against out of conference opponents. SEC pride plus it makes the Tide look better if we beat them again later this year.

It's not set in stone...

...but there’s a good chance I’ll be hitting the MTSU-Troy game as well.

Look me up

Certainly let me know in advance if you do, and I’ll try to meet up with you. And I’m sure I can get you free tickets to the Rodeo I regrettably have to work on Friday in Nashville if interested. There’s worse places for a hipster to slum it.

I should know early that week...

...whether or not I’ll be coming up. Friday I will be heading over to Atlanta for THE game that weekend, but thanks for the offer.

...and I think that may be the first time I’ve ever been called a hipster. :p

...well, maybe the second.
