Well, I'll Be Damned!!!

Coach Lane Kiffin, piece of shit that he is, has left the University f Tennessee for an easier job in Hollywood and the University of Southern California. Fuck him.....good riddance!!!

More come later....

Tyler Smith has become the first casualty of the recent speeding and gun charges for the four arrested U.T. basketball players.

Hope that there's more to follow.....

Oh! How Soon We Forget!!

November 12th, 2009: 3 University of Tennessee football players are arrested for armed robbery on The Strip in Knoxville. Mike Edwards (who?), and Nu'Keese Richardson are kicked off the team. Freshman starter Janzen Jackson gets suspended for a couple of games and returns to the team in time for the Chik-Fil-A bowl. (Lt of good THAT did)
Fast forward to January 1st, 2010: 4 University of Tennessee basketball players are arrested for speeding. Once stopped the police officers find an open container of liquor, a bag of the chronic and.....wait for it......2 guns underneath the front seats! WTF??? Were these brainiacs paying any attention at all on November 12th? Did they not have some sort of team meeting to reinforce the way a college athlete should carry himself?
Not since Loudon County's own Travis Cozart has a more amazing display of stupidity been shown by a U.T. athlete. I really only have one question for the boys; What in the blue hell were you thinking? If you're a world-class athlete like Tyler Smith, and you KNOW that there are guns in the car, boat, submarine, or hot-air balloon, you do not get in that vehicle!!! The four of you have not only ruined the basketball season for the University, but you have likely confined any professional basketball opportunities to countries where you will be payed in Euros or chickens. Anything that happens from here on, you fully deserve. If you get kicked off the team, you deserve it. And let's not forget the excellent education that you just shit on! A free education, that mind you, all you had to do to receive is play freakin' basketball. By the time I graduate from college, I will be another $45,000 in debt. Nice work jackwads!!! The four of you make me want to projectile vomit, and I free no empathy for you whatsoever. Hopefully Coach Pearl can salvage what is left of the season. I truly hope that the general public holds the four of you responsible for whatever becomes of this season. Enjoy your time in Uzbekistan!

Thank God That's Over!!!!

Well, the 2009 University of Tennessee football season has come to an end with a drubbing at the hands of none other than the Hokie-neck himself, Frank Beamer. The Vols seemed to be interested in playing during the 1st half, but in the second half, they were completely out-classed. It was really difficult to watch. Jon Crompton will no longer walk the hallowed halls of Gibbs Hall (thank god), and we'll have a brand new QB starting in the spring. But in all fairness to Crompton, he did about as much as he could last night. I mean, when you hit a receiver, full stride, and he drops the damn ball......well.....I think you know how I feel about that issue. The O-line didn't protect Crompton worth a crap last night. We didn't punt worth a damn, and only got to Tyrod once or twice the entire game. I'm just really glad that I can blog about Bruce and the round-ball fellas for a little while. THEY didn't d too much other than end Memphis' 23-game home winning streak. (Kiffy has miles to go before he can carry Bruce's jock strap!) So look forward to some insight 9whatever THAT'S worth) on the basketball Vols coming soon.

Here's wishing all my followers (all 7 of you!!) a very Happy New Year. 2009 was pretty good for me, but I'm hoping that 2010 is a whole lot better.

A Few Thoughts on Logic

Most of you that follow this blog know that I'm a pretty logical dude. (sometimes too logical) In fact, I have been told in the past that the very reason that I totally suck at algebra is due to the way my noodle is wired, because there's not a single damn ounce of logic involved with algebra.
But I digress.....Webster's defines logic as..."a science that deals with the principle and criteria of validity of inference and demonstration." From the Greek logos meaning "to reason"
Non-logical shit upsets me greatly. Not that we should default to Vulcan logic, but can we not think things through a bit before we DO them?
Think about the following topics.....

• Ever wonder why you take wax off a floor, only to turn right around and out it right back on?
• Ever wonder why the 400-lb chick comes to the movie theatre and gets the 50-gallon drum of popcorn with extra-extra butter.....and a Diet Coke?
• How about when the phone company charges you for NOT having a phone line?
• Ever wonder why the sun lightens our hair but darkens our skin?
• Why is the word "abbreviated" such a long word?
• Why do they sterilize needles used for lethal injections?
• If flying is so safe, why is the airport called a 'terminal"?
• Ever wonder why there's no mouse-flavored cat food?
• Ever wonder why dogs lick their own ass.....and immediately want to kiss you on the mouth?
• Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are dead?
• Why do we wait until a pig is dead to "cure" it?
• If Barbie is so damn popular, why do you have to buy all her friends?
• Why are there 5 syllables in the word "monosyllabic"?
• How does one "walk on thin ice" and immediately "get into hot water"?
• When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?

Just some things to think about the next time you don't have anything on your mind!!

They're Baaaaaaaack!

Well, with another 3 undefeated teams (Cincinnati, T.C.U. & Boise St.) left out of the National Championship picture for college football, good ol' Uncle Sam is rushing in to save the day!
According to a USA Today article there's actually a bill, nearly a year old now, that would prohibit the NCAA from declaring a "champion" unless the champion came as a result of "a single elimination, post-season, play-off system for which all NCAA Division I FBS conferences and affiliated Division I FBS teams are eligible." (H.R. 390)

Oh! My dear readers! Where in the hell do I start with this one? Honestly, I'm torn on this issue. Not because of the intent to make the BCS (Bullshit Caca Scam) actually HAVE a play-off to determine a true national champion. No argument here. I've wanted one from nearly day one. And I draw the line in the sand on this single point: every other sport in the NCAA has a play-off to determine who reigns supreme; why not football? The simple answer; money!!!
Now you all know how I feel about the government getting involved in relatively minor issues. The college football national champion would certainly qualify as a minor issue. I mean, it's not like we've got a fucking WAR going on or anything! Oh yeah...and then there's that whole health care thing.
But in my hypocrisy, I can make an exception in this instance. But understand that when it comes to Uncle Sam jamming his fat nose where it doesn't belong, I reserve the right to change my mind completely!

Understand that college football is a huge business. The cities that hosted BCS games last year brought in an amazing 1.2 billion in total revenue. And it's because of this incredible amount of income for the cities involved and nothing short of a federal mandate will not make the "old money" let loose of the purse strings.
And lastly, Citi is the official sponsor of the BCS National Championship game. Didn't you and I, John Q. Public, bail these jackwads out of their shitty business dealings? Hmmmm. I thought so. Feels pretty good to have my own bowl game!

You have GOT To Be Kidding Me!!!

You know, I really hate it when politicians on either side try to compare ANYTHING to slavery or the civil rights movement. It really makes me want to puke!! Harry Reid should be ashamed of himself. Not that he's the first politician to oull a stunt like this, but he's the first to do so after Coach Barbour got his blog on!!!
