There is at least a possibility that I will have to be in FL on a project in Sept. I will keep the UF/UT game in mind when I plan the trip. Heck, Gainsville is just as good of a place to watch the game as is Memphis.

Actually, Gainesville might be better considering that I'm buyin', chili.

Yeah artex, the Ale House on Archer Rd. What do they have, about 50 TVs? It's fun sitting outside on the patio. I went with a girl who had those things. Very strange feeling. Personally, I don't like 'em.

I didn't have any problems with them, but still prefer natural..!

Ale House is one of the many things I miss about Florida, along with Sonny's Real Pit BBQ. Arc, I'll let you know when I come down next, probably will be around Thanksgiving time. If our schedules permit, we should meet up for a brewsky. Wanted to meet you and Om last time, but alas there was no time as I had to visit family in Inverness and Tampa as well.

I will definately try to work Gainsville in for the "Big" weekend. I should have a pretty good idea what my Sept. schedule will look like by the middle of next month.

I guess until they play the game I can talk smack. Oct. 5th, there will be 106,000 disappointed Vol fans as the Hogs dash their hopes of a national championship.

Chili, our favorite saying here is Vols on our balls.

Also, what the hell is a Vol anyway? Or for that matter what is a Crimson Tide? The Vols have some mangy hound dog as their mascot and Alabama has a silly pachyderm. The same with Auburn. Are they Tigers or War eagles? What about S. Carolina? The Gamecocks? What's the deal with that? At least the Gators have a cool mascot. They just choke too much with all that talent. It must hurt being the 3rd best team in your state. All the others should go play in a conference with Marshall somewhere.

Actually folks, the league with the best bowl record over the last two years is the Big East.

This is follow by what any fan without corn growing out his ears knows to be the best league in the nation, THE SEC BAYYYYBEEEEE! Home of the 2002 NCAA Sanction Bowl!

Big East has the best bowl record over the last two year? What, 2-1 maybe?

It's not uncommon in the SEC to see half the league in the top 25 in the nation!

Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top,,,Ain't no telephone bills
Once I had a girl on Rocky Top,,Half bear, other half cat
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop,,,I still dream about that

Rocky Top, you'll always be Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top Rocky Top, Tennessee, Rocky Top, Tennessee

Once two strangers climbed ol' Rocky Top Looking for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top,,,Reckon they never will
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top,,Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top, Get their corn from a jar

* Refrain

I've had years of crimped up city life,,, Trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a pity life ,,Can't be simple again

*Refrain


Gee, I don't know what happened there,,,,,one moment I am in my office reading last months financial reports,,,,,the next thing I know I am standing on the desk belting out Rocky Top.....







It must be because it is close to "Football time in Tennessee!!!!"

chili, I keep singing Rammer Jammer. I just keep hoping it gets to be sung in Knoxville. 8 in a row is waaay too many games. We must break the streak, we must break the streak, we must break the streak.

Oh, but the losing streak to Bama, before this current win streak, left painful memories.

I guess it's only fair since we've had an 8 game and 11 game streak on yall. The thing to remember is that the Dubose years are a thing of the past. Yall have Doug Dickey and Johnny Majors to thank for our to streaks.

I just read that Franchione is about to sign a 10 year contract worth a guaranteed $15,000,000. That says to me that they're willing to wait on him and weather the storm that is coming due to a loss of schollies. That is also why we have to beat UT this year or next.

I am afraid that for Bama, it will get worse before it gets better.

The Iron Bowl in Auburn this year?

No, we whipped them in their house last year. In years where we play yall on the road, we get AU at home. It's not as good as having an off week before playing both your rivals, but it works for us.

I think next year or the one after is one the record will start to trail off. We should be vastly improved this year.

chili - I thought about you Friday evening. My wife and I went to the local Mexican restaurant. They always have a Mariachi band on Fridays. The kids love it. As we're sitting I hear the unmistakable tune of Rocky Top. Sure enough, Mariachi Tequilia, is belting out Rocky Top. The Spanish accent was a nice touch. I almost sang along

I just received a deep cut from a client(AU architect). He calls to ask if I watched the gubanatorial
That hurt, but I have to give credit where credit is due. He nailed me on that one.

Crap, my last post got butchered.

The architect calls to see if I watched the debate last night. I said heck no, I watched Monday Night Football and he should get his priorities in order. After telling me about the debate he says "Exhibition football, huh, that's all you're going to be watching this season, you better get used to it"

Guess who these quotes are from?
His mother has more influence than anyone. I know because I played, and I loved my mama."

"Sure I'd like to beat Notre Dame, don't get me wrong. But nothing matters more than beating that cow college on the other side of the state."

"Football changes and so do people. The successful coach is the one who sets the trend,
not the one who follows it." (i think Alabama needs to listen to this one)

His most famous quote:

"If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner.
The price of victory is high but so are the rewards."


His favorite poem that he carried in his pocket at all times:

This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is very important because I am Exchanging a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever. Leaving something in its place I have traded for it.
I want it to be a gain, not loss - good, not evil. Success, not failure in order that I shall not forget the price I paid for it.
