Be nice to me. The Vols are 5-4.

What are you complaining about? You seen the records of my two alma maters lately? Reminds me of my good old student days at B-school. While the Wildcats were getting thrashed by lesser schools we would chant, "That's all right. That's OK. You're gonna work for us some day." And when the offense lined up on first down we would urge them on by chanting, "Punt...punt...punt...punt." Ah, college life.

Yeah, but I'm southern born. Football is important to us. While I was an undergrad at that great state university in Knoxville, UT had it worst string of years and its worst year ever; they went 4-7 in 1978.

On the other hand, UT has had a lot of success lately. UT won more games than any other school between 1995-2000. When our guys come on the field, we expect a dismantling of the other team. We haven't seen that this year at all.

Last year I was at the Memphis game (which we won 49-7) and they flashed a graphic -- UT has won more games than Alabama, Notre Dame or Michigan since 1926 -- that was a teaser -- UT has won more games than any other college since 1926. That's not too shabby. And just purely to dig at a rival -- UT has won @ 140 more games than that state school in Gainesville, Fl.
