This bowl win is so good for me. Thanks coach Heupel. You’ve made my UT gear shine a little brighter in the new year.
Now let’s take care of the USCjr thing…
The Gamecocks have done nothing but talk and put up billboards and fly banners from the end of airplanes, you would have thought they won the national title when they beat us. I hope CJH remembers that when they come to Neyland next year.
I have learned in all the years of fandom with obnoxious rival fans…the sweetest reaction and most effective response from me when we win…is silence. You know…they know…any intelligent sports fans knows…our victory is sweet! Reminds me when a huge Memphis fan told me in front of a group before the 2008 basketball game in Memphis…”you just don’t understand…the Tigers will show you what big time basketball is all about…you really have no idea”. Then he laughed at me…my response?…”the Vols have a pretty solid team as well now”. After that game…most of the other people around have talked to me about it…the Memphis fan …has NEVER mentioned it. I let him suffer in his humility. We both know but just don’t discuss it.I work with a bunch of Clemson and Carolina fans. The Clemson fans I can deal with. They're fine with with the loss and I would've been fine with them if Tennessee had lost. But the Carolina fans are almost unbearable at times. Thankfully losing their bowl game has them back to more reality. The funny thing is when Tennesee beats them I don't say anything to them about it. It's just meant to happen.
