Questionning this is like me asking you if you are going to praise TiVo, or order your own "special" pizza...or watch Tech TV? Which I would never ask, because I know you're going to do those things. Some things are as inevitable as breathing...like the Vols and playoffs. Why fight it? Come over to the Dark Side.

I don't watch Tech TV anymore. Comcast bought them and I haven't been back since.

But there is nothing special about the Vols that gives them the right to think they are going to SEC championships, they just aren't that good a team.

The only way you'll hear me cheering for Tennessee is if the other team is from Florida. And then it will be half hearted at best. Actually I'm getting to the point where I'm going to start thinking of Tennessee as the Northern most Florida team in the SEC.

Oh no. You've become one of THOSE people...the kind of person who you could tell them the sky is blue and they'd say you are wrong...the kinda person who wants to be different just for difference sake. You're wife loves the Vols...so you gotta hate them...with no real justification behind your fascade. I've had brief glimpses that you were headed in this direction, but alas, I had thought better of you. ;0)

Actually I am getting less and less into UT football as the years go by. This season I missed a lot of games, which I could have watched, but choose not to. I did see some of them though. Jamison's always been an Arkansas fan. Since he grew up there I can't fault him for that. :o)

Now the Bama fans in my family are just insane! But that's a story for another day! ;oP

I'm sorry I was raised to appreciate well played college football where the teams were basically evenly matched. Where games were decided by heart of the players, spurred on by the fans. The notion that games go the highest bidder so to speak and that you basically have nothing but a handful of great teams that do nothing by beat everyone until they run into another well paid team, meaning you get a couple of decent football games a season, just doesn't appeal to me. What makes the SEC great is that on any given day any teams in the conference could beat any other team. That's what makes it the best one. It's not the optimizing your stadium structure to increase noise levels to deafen visiting teams. It's not recruiting the best players from other states to make a dream team. It's about playing football, running the trick play, and developing skills. I know alien concepts to people that just want to win, but it's why I'm different.

Anyone seen the new issue of Lindy's SEC Football? You must have, I have it in Iraq for Pete's sake. Gators are picked to win the SEC East and SEC. Will UT or South Carolina have any players not in jail for the season opener?

Go Gators! Beat UT!

I have to admit I haven't been keeping up with UT that much as of late. It's losing interest for me. Jamison is actually an Arkansas fan, since he grew up there. He cheers against UT too. ;oP
