Embrace the hate

When the hate turns to pity, that’s when we know we’re out of the picture. Until then, if we’re enough of a threat to earn so much hate, we’re on the right track. Go Vols.

Recruiting

They aren’t nervous for this year’s on the field performance, but I do think they are beginning to worry about the future a little bit as the talent improves to something closer to Florida levels…

From the Black Shoes Diary link

Congratulations, Ohio State. You have a five star quarterback that can’t read defenses. He stares down his receivers, throws off his back foot, and forces passes he has no business throwing.

I couldn’t not comment on that one over there.

And really, nobody wants to see Maryland play anyway save alumni.

I curse the regional ABC games because it means I’ll get some third-rate game involving teams that have a party when they successfully execute a punt. There’s a good reason the ACC gets no TV love.
