[Wofford]

Before today I was convinced that the tiglets would win. Now after today's AU win over MSU and the tiglets 35-27 win over Wofford, I'm beginning to have hope. The tiglets stopped Wofford, a FCS school, albeit a good one, on a 4th and 2 with 3:30 remaining in the game. They were sweating heavily in tigletland. 

Go Auburn! Beat the danged tiglets.

Please.

Tyler Bray passed for 405 yards, a career high. Justin Hunter and Da'Rick Rogers became the first pair of Tennessee receivers to log 100-yard games on the same day.

That second stat is interesting considering we were always known as "Wide Receiver U".  Perhaps once again. 

That TD pass to D. Rogers was probably ill-advised, but I loved it. He gunned it in. And the catch wasn't bad either.

[Chateau L’Ermitage]

Thanks for asking!   

Well, what the heck. After last night's over-indulgence I was going dry tonight. But the fog has lifted and I can't resist a little taste on Saturday night.


Chateau L’Ermitage Costieres de Nimes Blanc (2010)($9.00)

Now here is a deal. This is a tasty white from the Rhone Valley in France. It's a blend of Rousanne (60%), Viognier (20%) and Grenache Blanc (20%). Dry and medium bodied, this isn't a wine that would stand up to a big meal, but it's perfect for sipping or with appetizers. It's also good to drink after a previous night of turning my liver into a grape.

Hay, everybody! 

Hey bUTros! Good to see you. Or hear from you. 

Sorry to disappoint but I"m dry tonight. I went to dinner with friends last night and we put a hurting on ourselves. We went through 6 bottles of good red wines. I'm a little dull today.

However, I am impressed by your knowledge of the wines I have reviewed. Or I'm impressed by your ablility to go back through my previous posts. 

South Carolina just had a freshman wide receiver suspended for four games for participating in the same program. He also has to repay $2700. I hope we didn't have anyone in that mentor program.

Grilled reuben, cole slaw, tea.

  35   Cincinnati  27 

And, when is your tee time?

2:30 is our standing tee time.

I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today, as usual on Friday. When I don't, the people in the office complex ask if there is anything wrong.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

UA is Auburn's vendor, too.  And they have been trying tweak here and there, but no major changes.  And I would expect that the Auburn family would run UA and the AD out of town if they fielded fugly unis like Maryland fielded last week. Some things have to remain untouched. I know we make fun of tradishun sometimes, but it is important to most of the SEC schools.

They said on the show that Under Armour was trying to get Auburn to "modernize" and "diversify" their uniforms but Auburn was refusing.

Latest report from ESPN is that he's out for two months. 

The ones worn Monday aren't the worst. Under Armour provides them. The Under Armour owner is a Maryland alum and former FB player.

ESPN's Outside the Lines is doing a program on uniforms right now. One thing is clear. The players love them and the recruits love them. And even though Maryland's new jerseys aren't for public sale yet, I expect they soon will be. Which means another stream of revenue. And isn't that what college football is all about?

For better or worse, Vols fans, (and I believe worse) UT's uniforms are going to change.

Isn't Maryland playing at home? That's pitiful.

Here are some scores I found interesting today for one reason or another....

Cincinnati 71   Austin Peay 10

South Florida 23   Notre Dame 20

Houston 38   UCLA 34

Ball State 27  Indiana 20

Purdue 27  Middle Tennessee 24

BYU 14   Mississippi 13

Sacramento State 29  Oregon State 28  OT

There's some talent on this team. But the offensive line did not impress. We've got to be able to run the ball. This is a yearly refrain.

The score was about what I expected. But there's a lot of work left to do. Cincinnati won't be easy.

Frank Sinkwich is rolling over in his grave.

When the storm hit it was 94 degrees. Now it's 70. Even with that drop I expect it's really steamy right now.

No one game! It's crazy!

That''s got to be illegal. I've never heard of such a thing in PPV football.

I"m not at the game but Vol radio said 7:30 to 7:45. Estimate.

I got the entire season for $118 on DirecTV

Mine was about the same from Charter.

Charter PPV has the game for $139.99, $35 is a bargain! And no I have it on Xbox!

$139.99 for one game? That's got to be for the GamePlan season.

I always buy the GamePlan. 35 bucks for one game is outrageous.
