my worst week (really not that bad, and i know exactly why
i take some time out of my routine sports blog to have a more serious entry.
these past two weeks have been the longest in my life.
since oh say monday, it's gone down from there
or at least it looked like it was going down
way down
but just when i thought it couldn't get much worse, my spirits were lifted.
the Holy Spirit is a very powerful force.
very powerful indeed
just when it looked grim, i realized that it really wasnt that bad.
the week started just like normal, and right now i can't really remember everything "bad" that happened.
i just know that it's all come out alright
today was blood drawing day, and i was freaking out pretty much as soon as i woke up. but i survived, and i guess i'm no worse for the wear.
just think my readers should be re told that God is there to answer prayers and to stick with you through the rough times. basically that's the purpose of this blog. i'm signing off for tonight, God bless.

how bout them (wyoming) cowboys!
so, i was at black eyed peas, when a newspaper article in The Tennessean caught my attention: Vols sink to new low, fall 13-7 to Wyoming
wyoming? seriously? no way.
i read on.
"In a season full of Big Orange surprises, UT unveiled an absolute stunner. Playing one of the worst teams in all of college football, the Volunteers stumbled, bumbled and fumbled their way to one of the program's worst losses ever."
wow...that's rough...
continuing my read, i saw:
"Wyoming entered Neyland Stadium as a 26-point underdog and a perceived homecoming doormat, but exited victorious with a 13-7 win front of an embarrassed crowd of 99,489.
It was the first game for UT since Monday's announcement that Coach Phillip Fulmer would not return next season. The Vols were attempting to ride a wave of emotion entering the game, but instead left riding a three-game losing streak.
"Obviously it's been a really hard week on everybody," Fulmer said. "(The players) don't owe me any kind of apology. If anything, I owe it to them and to the fans for this whole week coming about."
well, i needed read no further. it was all in front of me, wyoming. wyoming? beating ut? dang...i began to laugh.
"ha! that's great. i need to remind all my ut crazy fans whenever i see them!"
i guess it was my way of dealing with a tennessee tragedy. i really am supporting of the vols, though, as i mentioned here, i'm not as big a fan as i used to be. other people will treat the game differently, but i think ridicule will be the way i handle it.
oh well, there's another vandy win...so we'll at least be bowl eligible...
wyoming? seriously? no way.

florida rant (blog one of who knows how many tonight)
so i'm sitting @ work w/ nothing to do..so i'm blogging...
my first topic is the florida gators...
can't say much becase they are three times better (yes i did the math, 42/14=3) than my vanderbilt commodores...but i've gotta say what i've gotta say...
first, my favorite thing about the gators fans is that it seems the only thing they know how to do in a football stadium is the gator chomp. sure, the've got varying speeds (even during the same pep band song), but that's about the only variation on the thing. i was so tempted to do a tomahawk chop, but refrained...at least tennessee fans can sing in the same tempo...but anyway, it started getting annoying and i didn't see much of the game...five minutes at most...
now that i've gotten that out, i really don't have much more to say...pretty much, tim tebow is a beast...Tebow:college football::Michael Phelps:olympic swimming...he's got a hard task ahead of him in the nfl though...traditionally former heisman winners (Jason Campbell, Chris Wienke, and ERic Crouch for example) and former Florida qb's (chris leak and rex grossman, for example) have had troubles in the bigs...
i had a load of fun mouthing off with a florida fan i had never met before...i said "tim tebow's overrated!" just to get a rise out of someone...he said "Yeah, does vandy even have a football team? or is it just vanderbilt high school!" i couldn't think of a comeback fast enough...so that was that...i guess it was all for the better...
anyway, i'll continue to root for my vanderbilt commodores, pulling for an 8-4 season and a trip to the peach or liberty bowl...maybe even cotton or outback...but definitely a bowl game...
next blog: how bout them (wyoming) cowboys!!!

POST-ELECTION SPECIAL!!!!!
first off, congratulations are due to president elect barack obama. my prediction came true, and the only surprises were the pennsylvania-ohio complex (thought mccain would've won at least one), virginia and maybe florida. i did predict nc going blue, and colorado i projected on election night before anyone else did. (this was the only one i projected before anyone else, all the others i wouldn't project unless 15 percent of precincts were reporting and fox or cnn had projected it)
other news to come later, gotta film for a show.

stuff
titans are 8-0!!!!!! i'm super pumped and ready to see the bears get destroyed. it's gonna be no contest...grossman won the game for chicago last week, so naturally he's gonna suck this week. he's consistently inconsistent! so anyway, it's great...election's coming up today and i don't have a favorite i'm gonna go along with what everyone here says...mccain wins tennessee, obama wins the nation. i'll be playin around w/ the magic map on cnn.com...here's the link: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/calculator/. we'll see what happens...blog to come probably thursday on the result...all i know is that whoever wins, he's my president, and i will support him. so that's the long and the short of it.
iverson traded to the pistons, billups goes to denver...really i don't care about the nba until the playoffs...and then only with mild interest...so it's really no big deal to me.
otherwise, guess everything else is going just fine, visited tech on thursday and wasn't all that impressed...but i got out of school, so it was worth it! saw several mhms grads and that was nice. halloween was fun and so was this weekend....but now that i'm thinking saturday, i'm thinking college football, which reminds me...
FULMER'S LEAVING UT!!!!!! that was very shocking. that man has been the face of tennessee football for two decades now, and his leaving means that that will no longer be the case. i'm more of a vandy fan now, but it still hurts. firing a coach with several conference championships and two national championship appearances after one bad season...even though they tentatively have one of the best recruiting classes in the nation for next year...doesn't make sense...next thing you know they'll fire bruce pearl for not making it to the final four. oh, well, stuff happens...
vandy plays florida next week...make it four losses in a row...after a 5-0 start...classic vandy football in the second half of the season. until next time, i'll be rejoicing, comiserating, and remembering some more stuff to write about...
