1: Agreed. Held out hope it would be closer, but it is what it is. Saban's still a classless douchebag.
2: No. Emphatically no. **** Bama. I hope they get skull drug by LSU in two weeks, and if that doesn't happen, I hope Oregon, FSU, or (*shudder*) OSU kicks the **** out of them. I give exactly zero ***** about "SEC dominance in the NC game". I want Bama to lose, I'm sick and ******* tired of them and their idiot fans.
3: Point A is a maybe. Point B is....plausible, unfortunately. Sucks that Worley had to be the sacrificial lamb, but it is what it is.
4: Yup. My wife, who admittedly knows little about football has said repeatedly that Tennessee has their guy in Coach Jones, the improvement is coming weekly, and things will soon turn around on Rocky Top. She also noticed that this team (unlike previous years) absolutely refuses to quit. I echo her statements.
5: Makes one wonder, doesn't it?? I'm kind of anxious to see it myself.
6: I think we make a bowl easily (we DO still have Vandy and Kentucky on the schedule, LOL). Iunno about "better than 116", though. Give it a few years to see who shakes out. With the exception of Messr. North, though.....that kid's an animal, is going to be an animal, and I'm **** glad he's in Orange.
7: See point 4. Better days are coming, Vol faithful.
Oh, and **** Bama.
