Week Eight Morning Open Thread
Not a lot of good watching early on (though Arkansas/Ole Miss should be interesting), so I'll be cleaning and making meatloaf most of the morning. See y'all at 2:30.

The non-Bama games I'm looking forward to
are Mi’ssippi and Arkansas and LSU and the Barn.
Mi’ssippi and Arkansas should be a great game.

Especially with military connections...
I re-routed a Predator UAV out of Nellis AFB, so that it would head over Provo and I can watch TCU and BYU live, instead of waiting until tomorrow afternoon for the tape delayed run of it.
Unfortunately, I still have to put up with Georgia Tech/Virginia in the meantime. Got to be AFN’s worst college football lineup all year, even with the Bama/Tennessee game on.

Physical, punishing terrors on both sides of the ball? Apparently, Texas pussification* has infected all of the B12…the ISU game is a bubble-screen slapfight.

That loss was probably one of the 5 most disappointing of the Shula era
and that says a lot…Among the other low points:
the 2003 UT game;
the final quarter of the ’05 Florida game/3rd Q of the WKU game;
every Iron Bowl (except 03)
and every LSU game.

This kind of shit isn't going to play in the SEC
it’s a league built on respect (animus, yes, but respectful) and almost a century of fierce competition and history. It’s not built on XFL bullshit stunts and gimmicks. This kid, and I use that in every negative derivation, is an absolute f***** clown who has, in less than a year, dragged Tennessee even further into the gutter than even I imagined possible. This is bush league, amateur hour horseshit. How can you trust this guy? His handshake? His word? And, even worse, Viles are going to come crawling out of the woodwork to defend this crass, cynical, juvenile nonsense.
Those that sow the wind…
