Burnt Orange Nation A UT Athletics Travesty

UT Alum here. I paid out of state tuition to UT for 4 years and I attend 15+ sporting events a year.  Bought tickets to tonight's game online and had two friends who are Air Force pilots drive up from San Antonio for the game. Low and behold we walk up to the Irwin Center tonight, tickets in hand, and we're turned away from the stadium because there is "no more room". How the F do you oversell a basketball game? We paid for parking, our tickets, only to be turned away by clueless ticket checkers who had nothing to say but, "I'm sorry" and "There's nothing we can do". There were lines of people at each gate with the same problem. What an embarassment and failure of the Athletics department and all involved. Someone needs to be fired.

Burnt Orange Nation VY "quitting" on the Titans

I'm as big a fan of Vince as anyone out there, but reading stories like this sucks. Let's hope it is far from the truth, as it will reflect very poorly on VY and his future success in the NFL if it is even slightly accurate. Do you guys think the NFL is too much for him to handle? After seeing what he can do his Rookie year, I sure hope not.

Burnt Orange Nation Kickoff Rule

A play during the game on Saturday ignited a friendly discussion between me and another fan. During a kickoff, if the returner tries to catch the ball at the 2 yard line, it touches him, but the momentum of the football carries it into the end zone, is the player allowed to take the touch back? Or does he have to run it out?

Just a silly question, but it is still bugging me. Any help?

Burnt Orange Nation Selvin Young making a name for himself in Denver

Could he end up as the next Terrell Davis or Orlandis Gary? It is way too early to tell. But it is great to see a UT talent who went undrafted doing so well amongst a group of talented RBs in Denver. As a Colorado native, this could turn into something beautiful.

Burnt Orange Nation Oklahoma to make Watermelon its state vegetable

The state of Oklahoma has decided to make the Watermelon their official state vegetable. In related news...the Sooners are not only cheaters, but they are also idiots. I seriously can't wait for football...

Burnt Orange Nation Pacman Suspended for the Season

Pacman Jones has been suspended for the entire NFL season due to his idiotic behavior off the field. Aside from Champ Bailey, I would argue that he is the second most dangerous D-Back in the league. This is a serious blow to the Titan's defense, but it is almost impossible to argue against it due to the dude's insidious actions in the past year.

Let's hope Vince can do even more on the offensive end to make up for the loss. We all know he can!
