Yesterday was my first visit to Neyland. I had been to Knoxville before but never the game. I was thoroughly impressed. I really like the UT campus. The stadium was incredible, and your fans great. Also, I really, really liked all the puss in boots there. Nothing like cute dresses and cowboy boots.

What a game also. Butch Jones is going to get you guys back. Georgia was lucky and I'm thankful to have gotten the victory and the hell out of town alive.

Thanks for the kind words. Both teams played pretty classy. It was a fine game. One to remember for a long time.

I feel so sorry for Pig. I hate calling him that even though that is his nickname and he doesn't seem to mind. I don't know Pig's real name off the top of my head so Pig it is. At any rate, if you caught the game on TV the cameras showed him after the game was over, coming off the field heading to the locker room. He was crying in a major way. He has nobody to blame but himself. Trying so hard to get the TD and he over extended himself. He should know better. The irony is he played good; take away Pig's great play in that game, we wouldn't have been in overtime. The game would have been over halfway through the 3rd quarter. Still, I feel sorry for him and the image of him as he headed to the locker room will stay with me a while. It's tough when you play like he did only to have the ball, and game, slip out of your hands to give it to the other team like that. Heck of a thing for a college kid to live with.

I just pray he learns from this and comes back stronger.

Next up is South Carolina after a well earned break...

And before I forget, a big shout out to Mark Richt. The guy is a credit to his profession. I hope he stays at GA for a long time to come. He makes GA and the SEC look really good. And his teams aren't to bad either. We need more coaches like him.

Mark Richt has really come into his own as the elder statesmen of SEC Coaches. He's pure class and wins. He needs another title and championship to secure his legacy as a great coach and cement him as a Georgia legend. We're thankful to have him, but much like Fulmer, good but not great doesn't cut it in this conference.

I've never liked that rule. You fumble out of bounds anywhere else on the field and it stays your ball.

I think the rule should be offense ball at the 10 or something like that when you fumble like he did.

Felt bad for the kid.

On any fumble where the ball goes forward and out of bounds, the ball should come back to the spot of the fumble. A team should never gain yardage from a fumble, nor should a team gain possession on a fumble it did not recover.

In the Texas tech-tcu game a tech receiver dropped the ball at the 1 instead of carrying the ball across the goal line and the ball rolled dead in the endzone with no one recovering and the asshole Jesse Palmer wanted the rule to be change of possession on that instead of Techs ball at the one. There's a weird feeling that the offense should be punished for fumbling in the end zone, but I don't see why the defense should get rewarded and bailed out like that.
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

16 years Doc, but who's counting? I've hated that rule since Super Bowl V.
If I had a 5 minute audience with the Rules Committee I'd ask what the logic is behind the current stand. All they have done is come up with the stupid 'Dave Casper Rule' which makes a fumble different depending on the quarter of the game.

My 2nd gripe is to bring back the rule that an incomplete forward pass which doesn't cross the line of scrimmage puts the ball down at it's forward most point.

2. The story broke Thursday that Tennessee and Virginia Tech will play in 2016 somewhere within the 160,000-seat Bristol Motor Speedway. It’s safe to say that the game will set the modern attendance record, which Michigan raised to 115,109 earlier this season when Notre Dame made its last scheduled Big House appearance. However, the all-time record remains the estimated 120,000 who jammed into Soldier Field in Chicago for the first Notre Dame-USC game in the Midwest. The Irish won, 7-6, in 1927.

I'm sure Lane is looking for a new job as we speak. Cheer up Lane. I have a feeling the FL job will open up in 1-3 seasons...

"Have you examined, Lane, why drama and turmoil is often around you at various jobs? Have you looked inward to see why that might be?"

BWHAHAHAHA
