Talking Points: the orange 'sphere edition

Just a few quick links this morning:

  • Gate 21 is infiltrating the enemy. He's been captured, but, surprisingly, he's being treated very well.
  • The BruceBall Blog found treasure in his attic while moving. Nothing in my attic but empty boxes. What's in yours?
  • 3rd Saturday in Blogtober takes a look at the key Vol injuries this offseason. So far, it's looking like we'll be fine. Fingers crossed and hands clasped.
  • YMSWWC takes a look at the little known new features of EA Sports NCAA 2009 Football, including one that makes Ohio State automatically lose in the national championship game if paired up against an SEC team. I still want the feature where any player that gets within a yard of Eric Berry immediately arrests, keels over, and is thereafter confined to the latest addition to Neyland Stadium, the Calhoun's Concourse Crypt.
  • Southeastern Sports Blog's new favorite thing? CBS College Sports channel. Partial reason:
    Tue 9:00 PM - 2003 Tennessee at Alabama (5 OT)
    Fri 9:00 PM - 1996 Alabama at Tennessee (Jay Graham)
    Sun 12:00 PM - 2007 Tennessee at Kentucky (4 OT)

  •  

    Reason enough, aye?

  • Early returns on this week's Big Orange Roundtable: Fulmer's Belly (in verse!), Gate 21, Southeastern Sports Blog, YMSWWC, 3rd Saturday in Blogtober, and The Power T. Apologies if I've missed anyone.

The Concourse Crypt is nothing new.

There have been corpses in the stadiums for a long time. Seriously. They’re right below the grad student offices in the South Wing (2nd floor IIRC). It’s a storage unit for Anatomy, and I think they have some tie-ins with the Body Farm on it as well.

Now, getting sponsorship for it may be new. And somehow, having a BBQ joint sponsor the mausoleum of Berry’s victims just seems fitting.

Yikes!

I thought you were going to say they were in the stands on game days not involving Florida, Georgia, or Alabama, but . . . that whole body farm thing really creeps me out in a weird kind of cool way.

Go Vols!

Yeah, the Body Farm has been one of the greatest forensic research tools of the last century. The data they get off of that is basically the reason that corpse aging can be done so accurately now, from the first few minutes out to several years (as far as I understand).

And Bill Bass is a great guy. He spoke are a colloquium for our department once. Probably the most entertaining colloquium I’ve attended. Heck, it’s almost the only entertaining colloquium I’ve attended…

But I had the same thought about non-conference game attendance when I wrote that first sentence. That’s actually why I felt compelled to add that “Seriously” in there.

I've heard great things about Bass

My wife was in some sort of group with his wife, I think, too. What an interesting calling!

Go Vols!

When Uga dies at Georgia,

They bury him right there between the hedges, maybe we can do the same with Eric B-rry’s victims.

I put a dash in his name because righting his full name would make this document holy. As his followers we must have the utmost respect.
