Doyel article hits hard.

Informer on the team.  Taking success for granted.  Disinterested Athletes.

"And I'll tell you why. This is a theory, but it's an educated theory. More than that, I talked to someone close to this Tennessee team -- someone who sits on the bench during games, OK? -- and ran my theory past him. And he nodded his head. Said my theory was right on the money.

And that theory is this:

Tennessee got too good."

Ouch.

So i am watching CBS Rewind the other night and i am forcing myself to sit through the infamous "Hobnail Boot" game and i witness this "apparent" first quarter TD catch by Kelly Washington.

Remember, no replay in 2001 and check the terrible angle of the ref in this video.

No Hobnail (via guilded)

The CBS truck ordered this replay and the announcers paid no attention...but HE DID NOT CATCH THE BALL.  At least not anymore than Jabar Gaffney did...that one time.

I post this for two reasons:

1) This CBS channel rules even though they show too many Vol losses.

2) That Munson call rips through me like a saw on the intro to the game every year and in some small, insignificant way, knowing KW did not catch this first quarter TD pass nullifies some of that pain.

One more thing, if Travis Stepehens would have been pulled down at the one on that long, lead taking TD run in the fourth, and the Vols had run a play or three to get in...none of this would be necessary.

At the time of TS's TD i seriously bemoaned to my Dad that the quick strike run left too much time  on the clock.

Painful.
