Jackson the Mule says . . .

. . . perhaps some Coffee will wake us up.

 

bobo_the_vol wins this week's Hail Mary Haiku with the following:

I like my Coffee
Not black, not decaf. It’s best

Hooper and I are both at the game, so y'all have the place to yourselves. Enjoy!

Kentucky special teams making Tennessee's look good by comparison

Two blocked punts and a blocked FG already, and we’re not even to halftime. Yikes.

She was frightened by the violence of Alabama's pregame exercises

Give me Erin Andrews any day … and not just because she’s better looking

I rip my hair out every time our corners give those free completions

because of their 10 yards cushions.

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

needed to drive him into the ground harder.

They do look efficient on Offense

need to keep it close they always seem to go flat in the second half.

yeah

is it always the first half good, second half bad for ’Bama?

Pretty much

Started with Georgia. Alabama fans are pissed, and some in the SEC are beginning to call it the “prevent offense.”

I think he meant in general

Blackledge(sp?) is my favorite college announcer, I dont think he meant anything against tenn fans

Thats probably enough points

can’t see our o line making contact with a player in white so our fast guys can run.

And you're playing Alabama

Unless you’re down by 30 at the half, you have a chance

Better late than never

But I made it!!!!

Is it just me or does it seem like the crowd is much more energized tonight?

Our team came to play ball, we may not be in the lead yet, but its obvious that we can beat these guys if we just buckle down and get our heads in the game.
