Oh, NOOOOOOOO!!!

What a major heartbreak this weekend. Vols win! Vols lose.

S1 went to the game with several friends from college and enjoyed lots of good food. He drove around to see familiar sights from his childhood (we lived in Nola for 23 years).

My comment on the game: Les Miles is the luckiest man in America.

An LSU friend of Jim Bob's said this: We need more, not Les.

Best headline: LSU wins on redoux. Wes Rucker of the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
UPDATE: Clever headline courtesy of TFP sports editor Jay Greeson.

Even the CBS commentators talked about LSU's incompetence.

S1 also went to the Saints-Chargers game on Sunday so he got to see a win.

Bummer.

Cool View...

This is the view S1 & DIL1 had for the UT-Oregon game. They won sideline passes @ a charity auction.

Goooo Vols!

PGA golfer John Daly really knows how to win over the hometown crowd @ the Knoxville News Sentinel Open.

This is LPGA player Natalie Gulbis with a Lane Kiffin dart board.
In Knoxville I'm assuming...

Crossing the January Flats...

It has warmed up some in middle Tennessee - I was very excited to see temps. in the 40s.

I was completely exhausted by the brouhaha in Knoxville last week. I couldn't believe Kiffin ditched the Vols after only a year, but I think we have a better coach now. S1 was able to provide lots of inside dish & Twitter had some interesting info.

It seems as if the past year went by quickly, but it is hard to believe this is 2010! Where did the decade go??? Remember worrying about Y2K? Seems silly now.

Orange & White Game 2009

We took a quick trip to Knoxville this past weekend for the Orange & White Game. We went with S1 & DIL1 & all four grandkids. They all did so well! Sweet Boy really liked the crane working on the addition to the stadium. It was warm but thankfully we were able to sit in the shade. Smart Girl & Sweet Girl wore their cheerleading outfits - soo cute! Sweet Baby drifted off to sleep. It was kinda funny to see Coach Kiffin on the field during the game reading his play chart. Attendance was great (51,000). Go Vols!!

Rocky Bottom..

That's what the Knoxville News-Sentinel called it.

Jim Bob went to the game & said it was the worst UT game he has ever seen & he has been going since he was a child - his dad is an Alabama grad & they always went to the UT-Bama game. We were in college through the lean years of the '70s - we love you, Condredge, too bad you were a man without a team.

Anyway, this is awful!
