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.

4. Now if my Bruins could just throw it...
...to the correct colored jerseys, we mightn't've had to go to overtime.

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.

6. That was SWEET!!
What a great game -- Craft and the UCLA receivers were amazing in the fourth quarter.

Way to go, Bruins!

8. That Is Uncalled For
:rant:

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.

9. not calling out the whole state; just the 85-man football team and the band
from one university...

FWIW my parents met in Nashville (dad-Meharry; mom-Fisk)

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...

13. hehe
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.

:crazy:

14. I like rocky top.
at least its a decent tune instead of another generic fight song like every other team has.
