Once again the sports world is abuzz about
the start of spring training, and yet another Major
League Baseball season. Baseball has a long list of issues on its plate as the season gets rolling along. All of the off-season chatter centered on the problems arising from the Mitchell Report, raises the question: Is Major League Baseball "Out?"
Thoughts on the end of College Football 2007-08
Well, another college football season has come to a
close, and LSU has been crowned the champion for 2007-08. The BCS Championship Game, though good, only serves to underscore ...
In case you haven’t noticed (and given the
fact most of my readers live in the south,
and the fact that the Cincinnati Bengals … well … suck hard, you probably haven’t), there is a major showdown between blogosphere and the NFL brewing. This battle pits the Cincinnati Bengals against the Fan-Sided Blog Network and its StripeHype blog covering the Cincinnati Stripes.
Well, as has been mentioned in a variety
of places, Bear Bryant died 25 years ago this
past weekend, and that got me to thinking … which rarely turns out well for me. The more I thought about it, the more it bothered me. The more it bothered me, the more I felt convicted to come clean. The more I felt convicted to come clean, the more ashamed I felt. Thus, here I am — prostrate before ...
The level of rank incompetence by the senior
production staff at CBS during this tournament is bordering
on legendary. Even though we are now into the final rounds of the tournament, I’m sure that CBS will find a way to keep it up, however, I imagine that during the Final Four, they will cut in to show the great deals available on home electronics on QVC...

From this day forward, anytime anyone in the
public eye gets themselves in trouble for something insanely
stupid, for something violating the code of sportsmanship, gets caught breaking the law … hell … gets caught doing pretty much anything they shouldn’t … they will be said to have “Pulled a Clemens”
In case you missed it, after forty-one years
in the “City Which is Never Dry,” the Seattle
Supersonics are pulling up stakes and heading to Oklahoma City to be known as the Oklahoma Clod-kickers, or something along those lines. The era of the Supersonics is over…
More great nominations. The competition is heating up!
Tennessee Head Football Coach Phillip Fulmer surprised the
media early this morning with a press conference announcing
the addition of a new “Techniques Coordinator” to the Vols coaching staff. “Aggressive play is a key component of success in college football these days — in fact, it has always been important.” Fulmer said at the press conference. “I, along with our staff, have ...
In the end, a win by Tennessee against
Louisville would have helped the BasketVols take one more
step forward, but the loss isn’t a step backward. Coach Pearl summed it up best when he recounted what he told the players after the game: “Tonight could have added to this season, but in no way did it didn’t detract from it.“
I regularly write about a lot of funny
things. I write about sports, about bad behavior, about
silly observations. There will be none of that today. Here, over this Memorial Day weekend, I am as serious as I can be. Memorial Day is not just ...
Week 3 of the Big Orange Roundtable covering
the Tennessee Vols, from Gate 21
Choosing Bill Stewart as the new Head Coach
at West Virginia, looks strangely like the decision North
Carolina made in 1996...
Arkansas Running Back Darren McFadden was handcuffed in
a Little Rock nightclub brawl early Thursday morning...

One of the drawbacks of success is that
everyone wants a piece… Over the years, Pat Summitt’s
assistant coaches have routinely been courted by others. This year, however, is appears that the Lady Vols are getting raided. First, UCLA came seeking Nikki Caldwell to take over as their head coach. Now, the South Carolina Gamecocks — in the wake of player conduct issues
This past Sunday I once again was present
for the running of the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe’s
Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. This represents the 19th consecutive time that I have attended the race with my Father and some close friends.

Rivalries are the essence of college football --
keeping the fires stoked is very important. Thus, I
pose a simple question: What is the “state” of football rivalry at Tennessee?
