[Afternoon edit:]

I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today as usual on Friday. It's too rainy to play golf but that's no reason to stay at the office on Friday. I could do laundry or scrub the floors and have more fun.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

Afternoon edit: The sun came out and we played golf. Just the way it should be on Friday.

Why don't you turn on some dang lights?  Wait....then they WOULD show up.

 

No trick or treaters.

It's really dark on this cul-de-sac.

The first episode was great. People coming back from the dead and walking back into their lives and families like nothing has changed. The first little girl's family was freaking out, especially the twin sister who had aged normally four years but the little girl that came back had not.

Sundance Channel is available "On Demand" on Charter.

This looks interesting and it starts tonight.

Sundance Channel. And it has subtitles.

But I think I'll check it out.

Dobbs can run, so that puts the option into the read-option. I think that will help the running game because Dobbs is at least a threat to run.

Of course, how much of the offense he knows and can execute is something else. In other words, how well can he read the read-option?

It's always something else with the Vols. 

Great job. I had thought about that the other day. We didn't need that hanging around.

I am so not excited. 

The jerk skates.

I don't think it will be long before he is in trouble again.

I think that's also known as the writing spider. If it writes your name, you'll die. 

Conner Shaw is one tough SOB. 17 points in the 4th quarter.

It's unbelievable how much he has improved. I didn't think he would make it as the full-time kicker.

...it will mean that UT will have played 7 ranked teams in an 8 game stretch in the same season. The first time anyone has done that since 1993.

I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today as usual on Friday. It throws off my system to do otherwise.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

Here's the link to it...

Not a great artistic achievement, but it will do.

If the UT students haven't "fixed" that thing yet, I'm going to be really disappointed in this generation.

If it is his tweet, I did not take that as an upset alert. I read it as a closer game than expected. Based on a 28 pt spread, he has a little room to make that statement.

I didn't read his tweet. Last night on Sportscenter they had a segment on Herbie's upset alerts. Ohio State also got one.

That's right.

I don't make this stuff up. I only report it and laugh at it. 

Dang, UT must be blipping the map if Bama fans have come back to the board. That doesn't mean anything for Saturday but things might be getting back to normal around here. 

Happy Birthday!

....and on the way there I must have entered into a time warp, a fracture in the space/time continuum or an alternate universe. Because on Saturday, the Vols won a big game.

Like others here I just knew it would be blocked or after he made it there would be a penalty or review.

After he made it I just sat there for a few seconds not sure how to react. Then I figured it out. I opened a bottle of Cava and drank it myself.

Oh, and I think the tiglets lost a close one.

It was a good day. 

I will leaving the office in about 10 minutes and traveling to beautiful Seabrook Island. As always, excessive amounts of wine and seafood will be consumed. 5 people, one a non-drinker, one drinks one glass of wine and then moves to beer, three others drink only wine. 12 bottles ought to cover it.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

I dont know what Sousa was thinking. He screwed up. Right or wrong, you can't take on your boss in public. That gets you fired for insubordination and that's a firing with cause. I think that even trumps tenure.

......but considering all the publicity, exposure and hullabaloo that it has generated, I suppose it's worth it.

Oh, and then there's the possible 4.3 million. http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2013/oct/14/vols-could-get-43-million-bristol-game-against-vir/

I hope so...if so, faux UT will continue it's current run of suckage   

Absolutely correct. I don't want him to be fired. I don't think Texas will ever regain its prominence under Mack Brown.
