Tennessee

What is it about the Tennessee game that chaps my hide every year? I can't put my finger on it. I mean, I know the orange is the easy "go to" answer. They look like crappy popsicles in those get ups. Is it the redneck fanbase? Maybe...but then again the Dogs have their fair share too. Could it be that they play that damn song every time they score?...or gain a yard?...or snap the ball? Probably.

In truth our rivalry, while old, has not been as bitter as it should be. I just naturally hate orange and Tennessee is the worst offender. I just don't like them. Period. And I think that it's healthy to despise a team for no other reason than that you just sorta...do. Just sort of can't stand the bastards. There you go.

Not really scientific but honest.

By the way...look at this gem from Da'Rick Rogers. Here is his wisdom on leaving UGA after committing 7 months earlier. Out of nowhere. Flip Flop.

Tell us all about it, Da'Rick:

Q: Did Georgia have any hints or signs that you were going to flip on them? Did you surprise the coaches when you switched to Tennessee?

A. “I don’t know. I don’t know about the coaches. They can feel however they might have felt. It was all for me. You know, I had to go where I could be happy and I’m in a great place now. I’m happy here.”

Like my opinion...his quote is not really scientific but honest.

But read closely.

"It was all for me."....and the eloquent, "They can feel however they might have felt."  The tense doesn't agree but I think you get the hint.

Da'Rick is actually perfect for the Vols. Stay there. Then leave early because some dumb agent oversells your ability to a third tier NFL team.

Go Dogs!
