Vols 41, Tigers 7 Well, the saying goes that a “W” is a “W,” any way you can take it. With this game it seemed like a “W” was a “Z.” As in sleep. As in “Zzzzz Zzzzz Zzzzz.” In case you’re confused by all those end-of-the-alphabet letters, this was one of the most boring … Read more
Vols 33, Thundering Herd 7 I didn’t get to listen to the game last Saturday, but from all reports, the Thundering Herd of Marshall was only partly-cloudy. Did any of you Vol-faithful get to see or hear the game? Any new insights? Was this game as “good for us” as the loss to Florida was … Read more

Erik Ainge had a good night, true to form, he still wasn’t perfect. Ainge has yet to have a … Read more
William Weinbaum at ESPN.com has written a fascinating profile of former ace relief pitcher Jeff Reardon. Reardon, if you will remember, made the news a few months ago when he turned himself in after attempting to rob a shopping mall jewelry store. His mugshot showed only a remnant of what was once one of the … Read more
Now that I’ve finally got internet service again (more on that later), and since Joe Carter has already outed me, I’ll let the four of you who still read this blog know that I’ve just started working as Web Editor for the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C.
