Keith Olbermann has a new show on ESPN? Wtf? He was great on Sportscenter back in the day, his venture into political stuff ruined him.

I like the avi. I had Heath's autograph on the 1992 edition of Football Time. Pretty cool at the time for a 14 year old, especially when it seemed he was headed towards greatness.

No, I doubt it. I got him to sign it in 1993 when he'd come home to watch Benjie play basketball and Swain was playing at Smoky Mountain. It wasn't long after they'd beat Boston College in the Hall of Fame Bowl where he'd won MVP. At the time, I thought it really would be worth something one day. He went into a disaster in Washington and that was that. I wish he'd have stayed for his senior year at UT. He probably would have been the #1 overall NFL pick in 1995 for the Panthers and perhaps his NFL career would have gone differently.

I don't really know much about AP, except for reading comments like that. Are they FCS?

They are not only I-AA, they are awful even by I-AA standards. They finished last in the Ohio Valley Conference last year. They have to be among the five worst opponents UT has played since Gen. Neyland got here.

He's the reason i became a Tennessee fan when i was a kid. I was sad that his NFL career was what it was. I had his Redskins and Saints jersey

Between Vanderbilt and Kentucky, surely they could have trotted out at least 5 teams worse than Austin Peay. :p

I saw someone say they are probably the worst team to ever play at Neyland and it could be uglier than the WKU game when Kiffin was here. I don't think i see Butch letting it get too out of hand though.

I think they'd have to score a lot, A LOT, before Butch would call off the dogs. Too many freshmen and/or inexperienced guys playing that need all of the experience they can get, so that includes throwing deep when decorum suggests you should run it up the middle.

Putting IAA opponents on the schedule after decades of refusing to go there might be the single thing I detest the most about Derek Dooley.

I haven't seen this mentioned. Braves were awarded a waiver claim on Kyle Lohse on Saturday but the Brewers pulled him back.
