As a blogger at heart, I cannot help but write about things that I love -- especially when it relates to sports.  My sports blog -- Gate 21.net -- primarily focuses on the exploits of the Tennessee Volunteers and the SEC, but as a resident of the Triangle for over a decade now, I do love the Canes as well.  Thus, I have a little something I posted over on my humble little site about the Canes and why Hockey is something that all Southerners should give a look.

Just thought I'd cross-post it over here to join in the conversation, stop on by my joint if you feel like it and feel free to leave any comments or complaints that strike your fancy:

• What the Puck?!  Carolina Beats the Bruins!  |  Gate 21

I'm a new face here at Canes Country, and hopefully, I am not breaking any rules by cross-posting this here.  If so, just let me know.  Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa...

Otherwise, all I can say is Go Canes!

Everyone, this is lawvol from Gate21.net, and I have a question for you.  I just did an article on Tennessee's big rivalries, in which I concluded that the Tide is by far the most significant rivalry, and said some really nice things about you all.  Anyway, my question is this:

How significant is Tennessee to Alabama as a rival?

I'd really like to know what you all think.

You can also leave any nasty-grams over on my site and the article: The State of Hate: Football Rivalries at Tennessee.

Ya'll be good now, and feel free to drop by and let me know your thoughts (or you can leave them here)...

We all like to talk sports, and to have a good time, but this weekend is a special one.  To that end, I just want to salute all of our fallen heroes for all that they have given to make this country great.  I've posted a little tribute over at Gate 21, which I'd like to invite everyone to view.

Remembrance...

To any of you here on RTT who are veterans, I extend my deepest and most heartfelt thanks...

Apparently a report will be released tomorrow regarding the Sunsphere's structural integrity.

Sunsphere to be Demolished...

Bad news...(snicker)

It's time for a battle ... it's time for a reckoning ... and it's time for Pitino and the Louisville Cardinals to pay for their actions, and Bruce Pearl is the ready hold them accountable!



Go get 'em!

My take on Bruce Pearl's redefining the way we as fans assess and judge the BasketVols: Gate 21: Pearl's Absolute

Complaints are welcome...

By the way, I noticed some of the Indiana faithful cited to RTT in their discussion of why they agree that Bruce Pearl is the best coach in country. Inside the Hall: Rumors. Scroll down to the comments and you'll see what I mean.
