Tired of "realism" on Thursday and Friday

[nagle]

i have no words of wisdom and i dont know the future, all i ask is that these kids go into this stadium and do us proud, dont quit, keep fighting, if you get knocked down get back up. on the very next play you may cause a fumble or intercept a pass, great players are made from guys who can get knocked down and stand tall on the next play, ...dont give up.

I get realism every damn day - it's running a company with livelihoods on the line and trying to transform the world a little bit every day. And it ain't easy.

Tennessee football is not for "realists". It's about hope; it's about pageantry, tradition; it's about doing the impossible; it's about going into Norman and whippin' dey azz when we have no business doing so.

It's about Peyton Manning to Joey Kent. It's about Josh Smith hurdling #3. It's about Chuck Webb and Travis Stephens going wild. Sometimes it's about Pig Howard stretching for that goalline and coming up an inch short.

I don't want to hear about "reality" on Thursday and Friday. If OK put 59 on us like Oregon last year, I'm going to go total Negavol on Bajakian and Jancek and call them Dooley 2, Electric Boogaloo. But that's for Monday.

Right now, I believe we gone go to Norman and gone whip. dey. azz. :rock:

How does the realism feel this morning? Still wearing the Vol colored glasses? They whipped "dey azz" all right. But it was OU who did.

Very prophetic.
