john pennington Stories - Rocky Top Talk
Thursday Night College Football Open Comment Thread
So, does anyone have anything worthwhile to discuss for the good of the order? If we try, I’m sure we can come up with something, like, you know, the fact that my latest appearance on Kit Kitchens’s podcast is available for your listening pleasure, or the fact that the Colorado...
Rocky Top Tennessee: 128 pages of ad-free Tennessee Volunteer football content
Now that everything's been submitted and the pre-order page is (kind of) ready, I can announce what's been causing me to do almost nothing more than Talking Points for RTT for three months: I've been serving as Editor for Rocky Top Tennessee, a publication by Maple Street Press that will be on the...
Talking points: guns, drugs, and money . . . oh, crap
Tennessee football Another bit of info on Brent Vinson being interviewed about that shooting and Ramar Smith being arrested for that home invasion: Smith was charged with stealing guns, a half pound of pot, and $6,000 in cash. So let's recap, Smith allegedly steals guns, drugs, and money. Less...

Tennessee football Yes, RTTers, we now have fully licensed access to AP pictures and a fantastic tool integrating them into the platform to make things easy for us. Woo for the tech and exec team. As of right now, though, the selection is a bit limited, thus the pic for the Match Made in Hell...
Talking points: All about bowl games edition
So it's Florida and Oklahoma in the FedEx BCS NC. Discuss. Oklahoma looks to me like Florida playing in the Big 12. They're defense may be better than most SEC fans are giving them credit for, but I'd bet that they're not used to seeing the quality of defenses every week that Florida is used to...
Volunteer defensive line proving critics wrong
I'm thinking it's too early to really make this pronouncement, but The Tennessean is saying that the defensive line is proving critics wrong. They did play well against UCLA, and that's good, but I for one am tiring of the whole back-against-the-wall-circle-the-wagons-prove-the-critics-wrong...
