Spent most of last week and the weekend in Nashville. Listened to a lot of homers on sports radio 102.5. Man, nobody thinks much of us. I so do not want to lose to them. Then, on the road back I listened to a UGA show from Athens talking about the whipping they put on USC.

The 95 game is currently on the SEC Network, That's the Joey Kent game. Keith Jackson was so much better than the current bunch of crappy commentators on every station especially that blowhard Musberger. Why are guys that last names begin with Mus incompetent at what they do.

The Tennessee fans do seem a little more subdued this season than in recent years after blowing that lead on Oklahoma. Most of their talk seems to be trying to trash our schedule so far more than saying how great they are going to be.

I'm going to spread this on all Tennessee-related threads in hopes of getting word out that we have a coddled and babied QB coming in (Dobbs) who has never been properly introduced to an insane SEC road crowd. He has two SEC road starts under his belt; at USC and at Vandy. At the point he started at South Carolina last year, they were already garbage so that wasn't exactly a crazy loud crowd. Even when South Carolina is good, their home crowd isn't what the Swamp is. My point is, this dude hasn't played in front of 90,000 maniacs who want him rattled. Dobbs has 8 starts in his career and only two have been outside the state of Tennessee; at South Carolina and in their half-filled stadium bowl game in Jacksonville. This guy has NOT been adequately road-tested and Florida fans need to know this.

Hell, it's worse than I thought for UT. Not only has Dobbs never stepped foot in what he's about to experience on Saturday, I just read where only 18 of the current UT players experienced the Swamp two years ago. So that means about 75% of their team will be experiencing the "loudest most of obnoxious piece of real estate of the face of the earth" for the first time.

Let me share with you why I hate UT.
I am a lifelong Gator fan. I moved to Florida when I was 4, and was immediately enamored with anything UF. When I graduated from UF in 1991, my first job took me out of the state, and my climb up the career ladder had me move to Tennessee in 1996. I expected it to be a 2 year stint.
19 years later, I am still here. This is where I bought a home, the only one my family has known. We live in a great town, suburb of Nashville with good neighborhoods and great schools, good enough to get my oldest daughter into UF. She is a freshman this year. It's really almost perfect.
Listen...my hatred for Clown College and Leghumper U is appropriately at a level so deep, so dark, that you would never speak of it at cocktail parties. Women and children weep. But living here for 19 years has elevated my hatred for UT to similar levels, despite the dominance we've had for most of my years here. Why?
First, that ****ing orange. It's everywhere. Shirts. Hats. Trucks. Hair. Signs. It's just hideous- the putrid, pumpkin shade of orange you only see in those little 4-pack of waxy, useless crayons made in Korea that kids get at sh!tty restaurants. I drive 10 miles to Lowes instead of 1/2 mile to Home Depot just to avoid that.****ing.orange.
Next, their fans are morons. Not garden variety idiots mind you, but the fat, ugly, smelly, truck-stop hat wearing, cross-eyed, yellow-toothed, spittle when they talk mentally-defective imbeciles. They usually have sh!t all over their face when they eat. The men wear overalls, and the women muumuus. They talk sh!t all year, convinced that this is the year when it turns around to their former glory. I've been flipped off, honked at, and yelled at (in an unintelligible string of grunts) for having a gator plate on my car.
But finally... and really the reason bigger than all others...
That ****ing song.
They play it everywhere. EVERYWHERE! At the grocery store, in the elevators, at the high school games, in the parades, at funerals. It's nails on a chalkboard. You'd think it was the gap-tooth national anthem. The hillbillies stand at attention, with their crossed-eyes staring off in space like a dog hearing a high pitch whistle. I hate that ****ing song. When it comes on, my wife hides all sharp objects for fear that I will jam them into my head in an attempt to burst my eardrums.
My only salvation has been the winning streak that, each year, makes these half-witted prairie dogs go back into their holes to lick their wounds. I need 3 more years. When daughter #2 graduates, we are putting this place in our rear view mirror, never to return. Not because of our town (we will miss it), or our friends (from Vandy), or our home we came to love. No, it's because of that song.
That ****ing song.
I am coming down Saturday for the game, and will leave without a voice, which I'll leave in the stands. If I hear any hint of "that song", hide the pencils.
Go Gators.
