Wow, what a weekend.
College football galore. Birthday party for the 5-at-10 Jr., who turns 7 in coming days. NFL news and meaningful baseball. This is a glorious sports time.
Since this is a holiday – and we are on No. 1,006 of consecutive Mondays-Fridays trotting out 5 things at 10 a.m. (Hey, 5-at-10, that’s a catchy title) – lets go quickly with 5 winners or losers from the weekend.
Deal? Deal.
Tennessee running back Jalen Hurd breaks up the middle of the line.1. Tennessee football fans. Winners. Everyone Johnny Vols Fan we know was genuinely worried about the season-opener against Utah State, and considering Vegas had UT a four-point pick an hour before kickoff, there was reason for concern. And yes, Jomo, is going to remind everyone that it was Utah State after all, and that’s fine, but we have said since SEC media days that this was the biggest game on UT’s schedule because of what a season-opening loss would mean inside the locker room and across the fan base. So Sunday’s impressive 38-7 whipping was a much-needed jolt of energy and positive reinforcement for UT backers everywhere.
