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.
old school cheer; haiku formation
we don’t give a damn
for the whole state of ’Bama
we are TENNESSEE!!!!!!!!

Holly Rowe is wearing her blue eye shadow she got from the Chinese gymnastic team.
Go Big Red Nebraska!

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
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
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."

I was just curious
More power to you. Glad you’re watching the superior conference. (Yeah, I know, maybe not this year, but…) ;)

we have a blitz package for 3rd and long plays?
who knew?

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?
Go Big Red Nebraska!

Pretty much
Started with Georgia. Alabama fans are pissed, and some in the SEC are beginning to call it the “prevent offense.”
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I think if you're Tennessee you've got to go with your running roots

At some point fulmer has got to take a chance!
Colquit is gooood though.
I think he meant in general
Blackledge(sp?) is my favorite college announcer, I dont think he meant anything against tenn fans

What's in the pack? Mojo?
The boys are playing valiantly. My nine year old asked what was in the fanny pack that
Colquit is wearing. Tee?

Can Eric Berry Punt?
I think that’s the only way we can make something happen!

Thats probably enough points
can’t see our o line making contact with a player in white so our fast guys can run.
Deferring is for p_ssies. Make a decision!
ahhh, lot of time...
…and we have Eric Berry

And you're playing Alabama
Unless you’re down by 30 at the half, you have a chance
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Keep Berry on O
It doesn’t matter if they score any more if we can’t score any.
Deferring is for p_ssies. Make a decision!
a TD here would really be huge, plus we get the ball first after halftime
At least he's better than Esteban Yan.
That is late late to make an illegal formation call

Mike Patrick is a moron
that official doesn’t make many holding calls
Deferring is for p_ssies. Make a decision!
F'ING TERRIBLE

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.
C’mon boys you can do it!!!!
