If I’ve been up for 6 hours, is it too early to crack a beer?

I used to calculate it by work hours. If there has been enough time to wake up, get ready, go to work, work a full day and drive home, then enough time has passed to start drinking. . . unless you're at the beach. . . or on vacation. . . or it's gameday (unless it's a night game). . . or your old lady left you. . . or your dog died. . .

Good one to ponder on given all the division currently.

November 9, 2024: There are people who disagree with you or decide they do not like you, but you must not dwell on those possibilities. You were not called to please people; you are called to belong to Christ so that you can thrive spiritually and eternally. This is a time to sort out and get your priorities straight. God is with you to show you the way. Galatians 1:10 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

November 9, 1991

UT - 35
Notre Dame - 34

One of the greatest comebacks in Tennessee football history has simply become known as "The Miracle at South Bend". On Nov. 9, 1991 Coach Johnny Majors led his 13th-ranked Volunteers into Notre Dame Stadium to take on Coach Lou Holtz and the No. 6 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish. It was the sequel to the classic Vols-Irish contest in 1990, the year before, when Tennessee's bid to upset the No. 1-ranked Irish fell just short 34-29 at Neyland Stadium. The Irish roster was loaded with future NFL players including Jerome Bettis, Rick Mirer, Rod Smith, Rodney Culver, Tony Brooks and Aaron Taylor.

Tennessee fell behind 21-0 in the first quarter and trailed the Irish 31-7 in the closing minutes of the first half. Notre Dame lined up to kick a field goal that would have made the score 34-7 at halftime, but linebacker and kick-blocking specialist Daryl Hardy blocked the attempt and fleet-footed defensive back Floyd Miley scooped up the football and raced 85 yards for a touchdown to give the Vols a little life, 31-14 at the half. The momentum from that game-changing play carried over to the second half as Tennessee's offense got on track scoring 21 points, while the defensive held the Irish to just a field goal.

The Vols completed the comeback in the fourth quarter when running back Aaron Hayden caught a screen pass from quarterback Andy Kelly and coasted 26 yards for a score. John Becksvoort's PAT made it 35-34 Tennessee with 4:03 left in the game. There was one final miracle needed, however, as Notre Dame frantically and methodically marched down the field in the game's final moments. With four seconds left from the UT 9-yard line, defensive back Jeremy Lincoln partially deflected the 27-yard field goal attempt to preserve the Vols miraculous, hard-fought, dramatic victory. Kelly was 24 of 34 for 259 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Kelly spread the ball around to eight different receivers in the game. Hayden was Tennessee's leading rusher with 82 yards on 17 carries and a touchdown along with two receptions for 30 yards and a touchdown. The linebacking trio of Ernest Fields (13 total tackles), Shon Walker (12 total tackles) and Hardy (10 total tackles) led the defense.

My wife showed me this and said they look like a word that begins with “F”.

I don’t like banana ball. I think it’s bad for baseball. The Harlem globetrotter thing works for basketball, I guess, but not for baseball. It’s always looked ridiculous to me.

I was extremely critical when Kiffin offered him because of what he was involved in before moving to Knoxville and transferring to Catholic. I could not have been more wrong. Dude has been a stellar citizen and it is clear that he was led very far astray by an uncle or cousin. He has overcome very much and I am proud to call him a VFL.
