Defense? We don't need no stinking defense.

Saw one bowl projection that had us playing Clempson. That should have HTV and Droner frothing at the mouth.

Players from the bench whose celebrating spilled onto the field perhaps?

the ref said unsportsman penalty on the bench

Could be. I was actually heading to the bathroom for a half-time pit stop, so I couldn't say for sure.

I think it was too much celebration on the sack rather than a bench penalty.

We need to get him the ball more in the second half.

Yep. we're back in it. UT is fighting hard. TOP is nearly even in the first half, so our D should be in pretty good shape. Before the game, this is what I feared, that our offense would sputter and the D would be on the field too long.

Vols need to answer with the  next drive.

good field position. Let's score Vols.

Now that's more like it!!! Great start for the Vols. Let's keep it up.   

Vols playing great so far, but we need to convert this drive. We won't beat UGA with FGS.

Dude, let it go. He's not even coaching Vandy anymore.

 

My passion for the NFL has never come close to my passion for the Vols and college football in general. That being said, as a lifelong resident (except for my time at UT) of the Atlanta area, l like to see the Falcons do well, but my following of Peyton even trumps that. So my favorite teams are:

1a. Denver
1b. Atlanta
2.  Whoever's playing the Cowboys.

At one point, Mickelson, Fowler, and Stenson were tied for the lead, and Rory was 3 back.  But then he played flawless golf on the back nine (aside from 18, when he already had it won) and the other 3 made enough mistakes to allow him to overtake them.  It reminded me of when Tiger (in his prime) would apply pressure on Sunday and everyone in his way would just clear out.  Maybe it was just a coincidence, or maybe Rory has started to gain that same psychological edge that Tiger used to have.

Phil, Fowler and Stenson each had one bogey apiece on the back nine. The difference pretty much was that those three had hot front nines (31,32, and 30 respectively) while Rory had the hot back nine, and all credit to him for performing in the clutch. But I don't think the others were crapping their pants, especially with Phil almost holing that chip on 18, they just didn't play as well.

Rory looks to be gaining that mental edge like Tiger had in his prime.  The other contenders just wilted down the stretch today.  I'd like to see Fowler take a major or two next year.

With the exception of the Austrian dude who nobody's ever heard of, I don't see how you can say everyone wilted. Phil, Stenson and Furyk each shot 66, which for the round was 2 shots better than Rory, and Fowler matched Rory's 68. And everyone that finished -10 or better each had final rounds in the 60s. Part of it is that down the stretch the holes were tougher. According to the ESPN page for hole statistics 16, 12, 15, 14, 11 and 17 were ranked as the 3rd through 8th toughest holes, that's 6 of the back 9 holes that were in the upper half of toughest holes, and  two of the other three holes were par fives.

This is why I normally don't care for the PGAC, at least compared to the other majors.  I prefer to see them challenged by a USGA setup (to be fair, the wet course isn't helping matters).  But at least this final round isn't a snoozefest like the past two have been.  I hope they can finish before dark, but I doubt it.  This one probably won't be decided until tomorrow.

Yeah, the course may have been a little too easy for a major, and as you point out the wet course didn't help, but I'll take it over the US Open, whose setup IMO is usually too tough and stifles creative play in that if you don't hit fairways and greens in regulation you're almost automatically looking at a bogey.

My opinion is that the new commish realizes the damage that LeBron to Miami did to begin with and has taken steps to correct it.  I think he is taking a different approach than Schtern, but in either case, protecting the NBA's image is seen as paramount.

Still...I like the new commish better than Schtern.  Well enough to start watching more?  Not yet, but maybe there is hope.

I am just glad Schtern is gone.   

I don't watch the NBA, but how did LeBron going to Miami "damage" the NBA?

Even though he's one of the bad guys, one of my favorite characters on the show is Tywin Lannister. Sure he's ruthless, cunning and opportunistic but the guy is just such a powerful and commanding presence.

Meh. It's OK, but Veep is much funnier IMO.

I like it. Iowa is reeling and UMass is vastly over-rated. Absolutely no reason UT shouldn't be dancing with Duke on Sunday.

UT was slighted with the play-in matchup, but I still feel it's a favorable draw.

Lots of head-scratchers in this year's bracket...though I don't really think UK as an 8-seed is nearly as big a deal as Vitale is making it out to be. The way he constantly goes to bat for John Calipari it wouldn't surprise me a bit if one of them winds up with the other's love child.

Yeah, that was kind of disgusting by Vitale. He kept gushing on about UK's talent. Yeah they're talented, but they've lost 10 games. What did he expect, a 1 seed?

Just remember the reason they're cheering. They would rather play us than UF. That should help keep your bile up.

Seriously, has anyone ever milked their 15 minutes for more than the Duck Dynasty guys? 

Yes. The Kardashians.

Oh... Oona Chaplin makes me feel funny and stuff.  :-)

And how. I cursed when they killed her off Game of Thrones.

A lot of WTF's on the list (Cate Blanchett, Amy Poehler, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardasian etc.), but they did get it right in omitting Anne Hathaway and Gwyneth Paltrow. Never understood the fascination with those two.

From the very opening snap. Seattle's D is just dominating and Peyton not being sharp ain't helping matters much.
