College Football Week 8: The Ol' Head Ball Coach has a swamp. In his pants.

What a fucking douche. He claims that playing dirty will be evidence that they're not afraid of Bama. If Tennessee players actually do what Ainge is suggesting, it would be evidence that they're gutless cowards.

 

Ainge is from Oregon.

Hillsboro, Oregon. So maybe "hillbilly" applies. Whatever. :

 

Thanks for checking in, Phil Steele.

 

I was raised in the Upper Cumberlands and know what a hillbilly is. And when you move back to Knoxville to stay, spend half your life as a junkie starting at 12, have a back tat reading "Crazy white boy," and advocate assaulting someone for the glory of your old football team (whose fans couldn't wait to be rid of you by the end), that qualifies you as a hillbilly among lots of other derogatory terms.

 

Anybody see this (apologies if it's a d_b):

Wow. Someone needs some anger management classes.

 

From my hometown, a look into Sonner's future. Vols fan (natch) gets burned by a garbage touchdown that causes Tennessee not to cover last week. Since he didn't have $150 to settle up, he did the next best thing and paid a visit to the CookeVegas Walmart.

Wow, Hack, you sure are fired up considering how your Tide is going to curbstomp Dooley right out of a job tomorrow.

 

Christensen was mad because (supposedly) the AFA coach had his QB fake an injury when he was tackled hard on a second-and-goal play late in the fourth quarter. QB lost his helmet on the play and had to come off the field; he started off the field fine, and then "collapsed" to the turf for about five minutes, holding his head as if concussed, after (supposedly) getting a "fall down" signal from Calhoun on the sidelines.

That gave the ice-cold backup plenty of time to get warm and converse with the coaches about the next play. Backup scored on the play, and the starting QB returned, fresh as a daisy, the next time AFA got the ball. Don't know much about Calhoun, the AFA coach, but what little I've heard makes him out to be kind of a dbag. And Christensen is hacked because the Pokes are 1-5 with a bunch of fourth-quarter losses and is getting some heat.

 

All of that does not reflect well on Calhoun, but there is no excuse whatsoever for Christensen to do what he did. Maybe his teams are losing late, close games because of an all-encompassing lack of composure. Wonder where they get that.

 

Ha!

Nah. I always settle up. WHEN I LOSE WHICH IS NOT VERY OFTEN!!!

Actually, it's extremely often.

Why should I expect Texas to beat Baylor by double digits today? Or Michigan to beat Michigan State by double digits?

 

Third Saturday in October.

'Nuff said.
