You gotta be s____in' me! Another Big 11 scam.

The morons who vote for the Jim Thorpe award have obviously not watched much football this year. They've decided that Malcolm Jenkins from THE (biggest bunch of posers) Ohio State University is better than the SEC Defensive Player of the Year. Malcolm Jenkins is not the Big 11 Defensive Player of the Year.

This BS almost cost me a 56" Toshiba. This hurts more than losing to Wyoming.

Bumped from the FanPosts. Power plays for college football? Hey, desperate times . . . .

-- eds.

Yes we can!

The world will little note nor long remember what I say here, but the events of Tuesday, November 4, 2008 will endure forever. Change has swept the land. I call on President Obama to, in his first act as commander-in-chief, spread the wealth among all colleges granted federal monies. Specifically, let's level the playing field on the gridiron. No longer will schools like those in the Big XII be allowed to run roughshod over lesser teams, emitting greenhouse gases with their constantly changing scoreboards, while SEC fans are forced to endure 3-2 final scores or 114th ranked scoring offenses. Yes We Can!

Who is served by a Texas Tech scoring 56 points on everyone, when a team like Tennessee can't bust double-digits? No one, that's who. While Tim Tebow is circumcising little Filipino boys, who is keeping Tennessee boys from trying to castrate themselves with a bottle opener after watching Jonathan Crompton overthrow another wide open receiver? No one, that's who.

I propose the System-wide Collegiate Offensive Re-emergence and Excitement (SCORE) Act of 2009:

Every offensively-challenged school will have a direct line to Texas Tech Head Football Coach Mike Leach, heretofore known as The Gaffer. Each team's head coach will use a government-provided iPhone to direct message The Gaffer through Twitter. 140 characters is more than enough to describe any situation, and The Gaffer will respond with a 3 character hash which can be decrypted into 1 run and 2 pass plays. Electronic flash cards on the sidelines will relay this information to the Quarterback. The Play Clock will be connected to these flash cards, and will not start until The Gaffer has rendered his opinion. Concurrently, the defense will be provided a hash based on John Chavis' Prevent Defense which they must immediately implement. As an example, every eligible receiver will have a 2 yard Halo in which they can catch a forward pass before a defensive player may make contact with them. Violation of this rule will result in the offending player being sent to a penalty box playing Michael Bolton music for 10 minutes. In the spirit of fairness, no more than 4 players may be in the penalty box concurrently.

It is my belief that implementation of this plan will stimulate every offensively-challenged team while maintaining our core values of fair play and good TV ratings. My work won't be done until all children, black and white, Jew and Gentile, Protestant and Catholic, will be able to answer in the affirmative when asked, "Does your team know how to find the end zone?"

Stole the table from ESPN.

When I saw these numbers, I was shocked at the record against Top 25 teams. There's going to be a lot of games against Top 25 teams with Peckerhead Myers, Mark Richt, Nick Saban, Spurrier, and Les Miles in the conference. Maybe I'm being unreasonable, but 20-28 just ain't good enough for my UT football team.

	1992-98	'99-2008

Win pct.	.859	.675
SEC W-L	43-7	51-27

SEC champ. game	2-0	0-3

Apathy

It's sweeping the land!

Someone defines "apathy" as "Lack of interest or concern, especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal; indifference." That pretty much sums up how I feel about this football season. For the first time in I-Can't-Remember-When, I made no attempt to watch a nationally-broadcast UT football game. Sure, I got scoring updates via text message, but that was only because I signed up for them from ESPN earlier in the year - back when we had hope. When I got the final score message, I was surprised by what I didn't feel - no anger or disappointment.

Apparently, I'm not the only one who "missed" the game. Several comments to Joel's postgame ramblings and GhostofNeyland's "The Mercy Vols Strike Again" posts mention they didn't watch all or part of the game. Sure the lure of Offense on your local ABC station is a powerful temptation, but, still, in years past no self-respecting Vol fan would voluntarily switch away from a game against Spurrier.

I've heard UT is putting together a pretty good recruiting class, and throwin' the bums out might put that class in jeopardy. All I can say is, I'm glad I don't have to make the choice between a great class coached by men who make the Apple Dumpling Gang look like Danny Ocean's crew in an empty stadium on pay-per-view or a good class coached by someone who bears no resemblence to anyone walking the home sideline right now in a stadium filled with crazy people in Big Orange on the SEC Network, er, ESPN. It's basically a coin-flip. Here's a quarter.

A University of Tennessee plane stopped briefly in Raleigh late Sunday night then returned to Knoxville in the wee hours Monday morning. Later Monday, it went on to Stillwater, Okla., home of Oklahoma State University.
