When people get burnt alive on a subway car
& pushed onto train tracks in front of a running train by a convict
& terr*rists are mowing down civilians amid a New Years celebration
& people are executing car bombings for a symbolic purpose
& thousands march the streets with flags, signs and apparel that support a terr*rist organization
& the government is allowing r*apists, murd*rers, and criminals to flow through your borders
& your federal law enforcement agencies are staffed with clowns and mentally challenged people
Chaos is the new normal, and society is failing.
Things have to change, and change quickly. If not, America will be hell in a matter of years.
After a day of reflection, here is where I am…
My opinion is that UT is a good football team. We are likely the 5th best football team in the SEC on a neutral field. I would take Ole Miss and Alabama to beat us not in Neyland. We ended up the 3rd best team in the SEC because we had a schedule that allowed us to have the games we needed to win in Neyland Stadium. People can say what they want, after experiencing Ohio Stadium, it is evident that Neyland stadium is worth 10 points for Tennessee. We were seeded correctly at 9. That’s what we deserve. Ohio State is not an 8. They are the best roster in college football and played with their food against Michigan and unfortunately fell to an 8. Tennessee (a good 9 seed) got Ohio State on their home field at night after 3 weeks of them being told they suck and the team having to circle the wagons. It is what it is. Bad draw. But I refuse to believe because we lost that game, we “suck”. Every team in the field would have lost Saturday night the way that team was clicking in all cylinders. It was a 9 seed playing the true 1 seed on the road.
That being said, I’ll take losing December 21st in the College Football Playoff over beating some middle pack Big 10 team Jan 1 in the Outback bowl.
And before the “coping” posts come, I’m not whining. We got the draw we got. We got disemboweled by Ohio State. There’s no denying it, but I believe all the other teams would have Saturday night, too. It will be interesting to see if Ohio State plays with that same fire in the Rose Bowl.
Tomorrow Tennessee has the chance to make the entire south proud on the road, in the cold, in the postseason, vs a northern blue blood program
I know Neyland, Majors, and Ward will be watching every second of it from heaven
This is very hot because that means he’s not only jacked, but won’t look at me sideways when I suggest we eat takeout and not carefully weighed out ground beef and wilted veggies
