Vols 10, Tigers 34 I don’t really have much to say except that I will now crawl into a hole and hide for a while. Defensive problems, offensive problems—you name it. The Vols were not ready for Auburn’s offensive line to pummel them like little girls. Next week it’s Georgia. Logic says that Dogs are … Read more
The Vols host the Auburn Tigers tonight on the river in Knoxville. Roy Horn played with a tiger earlier this year and got his head nearly bitten off. He later claimed that the tiger was only trying to protect him—but what can you expect from guy who got his head bitten off? Tennessee will be … Read more
…if you didn’t read James Lileks today. Here is just a sample: But mostly I hate the debates because I simply cannot abide hearing certain statements I’ve been hearing over, and over, and over again. I can’t take any more talk about bringing allies to the table. Which ones? Brazil? Mynmar? Microfrickin’nesia? Are there some … Read more
Overall, tonight’s presidential debate revealed the positions of the two candidates clearly. Two very opposing viewpoints were made clear. In light of this, one might say it was a tie. In light of the content of the differences, I would say that it is a loss for Sen. Kerry. John Kerry is dangerous for America. … Read more
There’s something almost gladitorial about watching a debate. Think about it—two grown men sparring with each other, using ideas, words, guestures, and makeup as weapons. OK, the analogy does break down, but there is something that excites one’s spirits when viewing this phenomenon. Perhaps it’s watching the candidates sweat bullets when given a tough question—though … Read more
Albert Mohler has a great two-part essay [part one, part two] on “Christian Citizens and the News Media” that should be required reading before you next partake of the news. Mohler asks: The really important question is this: Are we any wiser? The explosion of media access has provided some real benefits for viewers. Competition … Read more
Vols 42, Bulldogs 17 The above photo is Erik Ainge’s third quarter pass to Bret Smith for a Tennessee touchdown. As you can see, this shot streched the limits of the 3x optical zoom on my camera (that’s the ball about 2m above Smith in the end zone). My brother, a man who knows how … Read more
Here’s a few notable things happening in the blogosphere: Joe Carter has some words for those who would be frightened at John Kerry’s allegations that the draft will be reinstated if Bush is re-elected. John Bush is back from an extended blogging hiatus at Le Sabot Post-Moderne (only to leave again—but only for a couple … Read more
The Vols take on the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs tomorrow at Neyland Stadium. The point spread is 23 at the moment, but I predict a 45-10 rout. The Bulldogs have 10 turnovers already this season, so they might be fortunate to score 10. I’m sure the Checkerboard will have a pre-game post up shortly.
Although John Kerry portrays himself as the candidate who will restore America’s image in the world, he’s certainly not above disparaging our allies. Kerry’s dismissal of Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi’s statements in a speech to a joint session of Congress (which, of course, Sen. Kerry didn’t attend) is certainly not a “bridge builder” with allies … Read more
