2. Well what do you expect when you fight a war to protect peoples right to own slaves |
|
BTW, the volunteers refers when Tennesseeans volunteered in droves to protect Texans right to own slaves.

5. That kid was great in the second half of that game |
|
Sort of reminds me of Bret Favre, no matter what happens he'll try to win it on the strength of his arm.

What a great game -- Craft and the UCLA receivers were amazing in the fourth quarter.
Way to go, Bruins!

I am a native Tennessean, and while I don't care for "Rocky Top" I also don't care for your sorry-assed attitude about my home state. There are other DUers who are also Tennessee natives, and Bertha is a Tennessean by marriage.
There are many political progressives in Tennessee. Some of us are redneck political progressives. I come from a long and distinguished line of rednecks. Wrap your mind around that, if you can.

10. Then You Should Have Been More Specific |
|
And while I am no University of Tennessee football fan, I think the Pride of the Southland Band is terrific. Is there anything specific you dislike about the band, or is it just one song in particular?

11. i just don't care for the vols or their fight song |
|
and college football is all about tradition, hatred and rivalries (and a craptastic arbitrarily slanted non-playoff system)... hell, in the SEC I pull for Auburn -- have at that all you want...

I once posted here about the Chicago Bears choking away a win, saying "Oh Lord, why do you forsake the Bears so?" I then got a lecture about how God doesn't prefer one team over another. Seriously.
