There are three sure things:
Death, taxes, and beating the
Kentucky Wildcats.

And here's to 27

Wildcats used to be
Slightly blue…26 L’s
Later, they’re Big Blue.

Tennessee fans roll their eyes when I talk about Vandy, Vandy fans become ill when I talk about Tennessee.

Cuonzo needs a win
To set up “just like football”
chant on 1/14.

Heel for school, Vol for life!

Bolts, Preds, Canes (childhood team, home state team, hometown team). Canes mini-STH. Southern hockey solidarity!

Imperfect haiku

Twenty six and Twenty seven
To reach one hundred

Ahem ...

on how wonderful he looked vs. Vandy …

Dooley’s perfect hair
Ruffled through season’s tumult
Regains form with team.

Now, UK specific … an ode to that Wildcat of lore, Mr. Haskins…

QB Maxwell Smith
Great name for a quarterback.
But no Billy Jack.

Holdin' it down on enemy grounds.

One thing Tennessee
Always does is beat the sh!t
Out of Kentucky

"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

Orange pants, then orange dog:
Dooley motivates with them.
Not needed this week.

"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." A. Bartlett Giamatti
