I think something is wrong with Garcia's arm. Yes, I know that the next line should be, "It's attached to his head". 

But he looks like there really is something wrong with it.  If not, then it is his head. 

I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today. As it has been, so shall it always be. Most of the time.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

Who wants this thing? I'm beginning to believe that after Sunday they are tied and have to play one for the wild card.

Which is exactly what his job is as an opinion columnist. 

Agreed. But he sure does seem to enjoy poking the Vols fans.

The Braves play three against the Phillies and the Cardinals play 3 against the Astros, the worst team in baseball.

Unfortunately, I don't think the Braves are going to make it.

4 hours late, no scoreboard posts, what is the world coming to????

I retired "droner's Bar and Late Night Scoreboard" when they started televising every game. I figured everyone knew the scores.

As for being late about what I was drinking....well,....I was drinking.

Thanks for asking!   

Anne Amie Cuvée A Müller-Thurgau (2010)($15.00)

This is a delicious white wine from Oregon. Müller-Thurgau is a wine varietal that isn't that widely known in the U.S. It's a smooth medium-bodied wine that is technically dry but has a nice off-dry quality. Good acidity on the finish. Definitely a different type of white wine and well worth the price.

 

The bye week because that means Tennessee not playing, and im usually not interested on the other games to be played. So what's everybodies suggestion for the game of the week haven't seen a schedule lol.

GO VOLS! 

Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma State

I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today. And hoping that it stops raining.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

Missed tackles have been the issue.  Our guys want to go for the kill shot instead of wrapping up and getting the ball carrier on the ground. 

Yep. I've seen that numerous times. Just make the tackle.

I could care less about him..if they kicked the extra pt then its 30-14,a 16 pt game..and then you try for 2 pts if you get another td

You still need to make two 2-point conversions.  You can either have 3 tries to make two or two tries to make two.

 

I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today to enjoy the cooler weather. On Friday. Mainly because it's Friday.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

Three points:

1. Fans always used to complain that Fulmer wouldn't play all of those talented freshmen that he recruited. Well, here you go.

2. Isn't the team mostly freshmen? (OK, I know it's not. But sometimes it seems that way.)

3. Could this guy be any worse?

It seems that they have stopped working for me also. I get nothing. However, I did get the server error message whIen I tried to post this. Evil spirits have invaded our board.

Hmm, when I tried to highlight this post to copy in case I got another server error, it won't let me highlight it.

Please add the Pong and Tetris options to VTTW.

Thank you,

I thought about you the other day. I passed a guy in a Geo Metro. Do you still have it?

I honestly think he held his hands up in shock that we freaking caught that ball...

The TD he caught between the two players isn't the one I'm talking about. The one I'm referring to is the other one which he caught and then turned to the end zone crowd and held out his arms like he was going to take a bow. I think that's the thing that will get the penalty.

I don't think the rules have been change to redefine what is celebration and what isn't, only the timing of when it can be called and how it affects the play. I don't think either of Da'Rick's TD celebrations were worthy of a flag. On the one where he lost his helmet he held the ball up initially to show the ref he had it. Guys are allowed to celebrate.

The one that I worry about is the jumping into each other after catching a TD. I'd rather they never leave their feet. But holding your arms up to the crowd or pointing to the crowd (as Hunter has done) can't be a penalty as long as it's not prolonged or taunting. Talk about taking the fun out of the game if they did that.

I agree that they haven't redefined celebration. I'm saying that we're getting close to violating the rule. And it's not the jumping into each other. I think the refs think that's fine. And the holding the arms up and pointing to the crowd might not seem a violation to you and me, but those are the very things that get the penalties. A. J. Green merely walked (strutted) briefly toward the crowd. You never know which refs have the itchly flag finger.

I haven't come to a conclusion on this "perdictin" for this week. I'll try to formulate by Thursday.

However, I have a bad feeling that this week is when UT gets a "celebration" penalty. I can't believe that D. Rogers didn't get one when he scored a TD and held his arms out wide like he was accepting applause. Hopefully the penalty doesn't result in a loss of points.

Those guys pretty much insure that we will NOT be running the toss sweep with the game on the line, so that alone makes me giddy.

Well said. 

That's good to hear.

...that the first unsportsmanlike penalty resulting in points being taken off the board would come from a team coached by our most recent previous coach?

Southern Cal still beat Utah 17-14.

Time to play big boy football now.

Make it so.

Good thing they fired Tommy West.  Just think where the Memphis State program would be if he were still there.   

Great minds think alike. 

When I posted that I thought about how Memphis should never have fired West. They couldn't be worse off. I think he got about as much out of Memphis football as they were ever going to have. He did get them to 5 bowls.

If Memphis believed it was going to get better than that, they probably were mistaken.
