It's the SEC...5 of our 6 losses were against (coming into this week) top 15 BCS teams. Add that to the fact we are essentially lacking a junior and senior class, and it's clear we're just overmatched. I'm willing to give Dooley some time, but 8 or 9 wins next season will be needed to avoid cranking up the hot seat.
The Vols got a steal in signing Martin. Here's to hoping the cupboard isn't bare of talent when we hit the floor next season.
In other news, I went with the Vatican Assassin Warlocks as my fantasy team name. Our league had a big run on pitchers in the first two rounds, but that can be expected in head-to-head leagues. And yes, my logo is a flaming fist with the word "Winning" stamped across it.
Bayne is under already under contract with Roush-Fenway. Since Roush-Fenway couldn't guarantee a sponsor for a full-time Sprint Cup ride, it was decided he would be loaned to the Wood Brothers team for a limited Sprint Cup schedule. Bayne will also drive a full schedule in Nationwide for Roush-Fenway.
I'm thinking he won't have a problem getting a sponsor for a full-time cup ride next season...
In response to the spread of white-nose syndrome, the Forest Service has closed all caves on Federal lands as well as make the "recommendation" that all states in this region follow suit as well (insofar as closing caves on state-owned lands).
One proposed vector of infection is that cavers are spreading the disease via their equipment; i.e. a caver goes into cave A, which has a white-nose infestation, and then goes into cave B at a later time, thereby introducing the spores to a new cave ecosystem.
However, after several years, this has yet to be proven in a single case. All that has been done is that caves are closed and government grant money is being handed out to those with a vested interest in seeing a long-term "epidemic".
Now raise your hand if you think those caves will ever be open to the public again....
Let's wait until all the information is in before putting these four people under the prison.
As for finding something else to do on Saturday, well, it's not going to happen anytime soon. Saturday football is an integral part of southern culture.
And as for star power for elite football players, yeah, it exists. I'm sorry for the top college trumpet player or pole vaulter, but until 100,000 people show up and are willing to pay 50 bucks a seat to see them, we'll all have to just deal with it.
The solution to this issue is to throw out the antiquated rule that states that teams from the same region can't play each other in the first round of the playoffs.
