I watched the game today. I was saddened by the loss. I hate tennessee. With a tremendous passion.

Take heart, though, Alabama fans… Tennessee was a heavy favorite, they had the #3 rush defense in the SEC, and are in the driver’s seat of the SEC East… and they won by 4 points, largely driven by a miss-cue in the first quarter and a special-teams slip-up. Their vaunted rush defense didn’t really hamper our running game, our defense proved beyond any doubt that they are the real deal, and coming down the stretch we had a chance to win. Go into Knoxville with Brodie Croyle and you’ve got a 21-point Tide victory.

This may not be our year, but Shula has brought this team a long way, and we’re on the way up.


Nevertheless, I still hate Tennessee, and I think it’s time for another round of Audience Participation. Last time we played this game, you fools racked up 80 comments… can we break 100 with this one?

I think we can. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to describe Tennessee… the state, college, the pro football team, whatever… in exactly five words. No more, no less. Be creative.

…and I won’t even censor pro-Tennessee comments[#].

On your mark… get set… go!
