OK. Sorry Cocoa I can't take it any longer. Chili, maybe Clarett could transfer to Auburn. They sure could use the offense.

dayhiker - yep, the TVA was my first job after my BSEE.
That's when I hiked just about every weekend in the Smokies or else was caving with the Smoky Mt. Grotto. The job was secondary, just a way to pay for my weekends. ;)

My bosses son is an EE with TVA and really wants to get transferred to either Chattanooga or Knoxville. He's been in Florence and Decatur lately. He's doing the Eagle Ck trip I mentioned to you.

cocoa is at school right now. We're making him get that ejucasion out of him and making him get another degree so that it will say The University of Alabama on it. The at Birmingham part is secondary. It still will say UA. I'll make sure he sees your comments Arky.

Four football fans are climbing a mountain:
An Alabama Fan,
An Auburn Fan,
A Tennessee Fan, and
A Georgia Fan.

They had been arguing all the way up the mountain about who was the most "die hard fan".

Upon reaching the top of the mountain, the Tennessee fan proclaimed to the other three " This is for the Volunteers!" and promptly threw himself off the mountain as a sacrifice, screaming "Rocky Top" as he fell to his death.

Not to be out done by the Tennessee fan the Georgia fan jumped up and shouted " Go Dawgs" and threw himself off the mountain screaming "Sic 'em! WOOF WOOF WOOF!!!" as he fell to his death on the rocks below.

Refusing to be outdone by the Tennessee and Georgia fans, the Alabama fan jumped to his feet and yelled "This is for the CRIMSON TIDE" and without any hesitation pushed the Auburn fan off the mountain shouting
"Fly now, You Damn War Eagle!"

For chili36 and other UT fans
I'm here to eat crow. The Vols looked good, Fresno State didn't. Fair officiating, good fans, no complaints or excuses. We were both missing players, out for injuries etc. so I'm not even going to use that one. Although, I think it the game would have been much more fun to watch for both if both our teams were at full strength, am I right?!? :-)

Oh well, on to thoughts of beating Oregon State and the whoopin we're going to recieve from Oklahoma...

I think we will find out during the season that Fresno State is not a bad team.

I would like to think the UT defense is pretty darn good only giving up 110 yards last Saturday.

It's still early, folks. A lot of Football left.

Memphis v. Ole Miss in Memphis Saturday. I think it will be a great game.

If I can just get MrsChili to give me a break from painting the new house, maybe I can go. :-)

Yeah, the Vols D looked sharp. Your linebackers are studs.
I was up in the mountains durring the weekend, so I have the game on tape. Yet to watch the 4th quarter. MAN, what a hit on your kicker! Wish they could have done that to the QB all day, might have had a chance. ;-)

What,,,we have a kicker?

I saw someone impersonating a kicker wearing an Orange uniform, but from his performance, I wouldn't call him a kicker.

That is a part of UT's game that better improve.

People! Are you psyched for tomorrow? I know that KU better win this one or I'll be drinking a lot of high-quality East Coast ale. UNLV is 11 point favorite. Better get your checkbook out, Violin!

With a D like that and a much improved Offense chili, you're kicker isn't much of an issue IMO.

Gators vs. Canes
I still think Miami is going to win (unfortunately), but the Gator's performance last week was impressive, even if it was against a two-bit team. It does give a glimmer of hope, and though their chances of winning tonight are small, there IS a chance. A Gator win tonight would be big, and totally kick arse!

No matter what the score was or if the BCS is corrupt though Phaedrus, you're not going to creep into the polls after one HOME GAME win against a D-1AA team. Tennessee beat up on us (a pretty decent D-1A team) by almost 20 points at home and they only moved a couple spots. Take out Texas Tech and Washington State and then I'd be angry about not being in the polls.

I predict that Cocoa will NOT post on this site ever again. Dang, boy, Georgia Tech????? After starting the season ranked sixth????
That's GOTTA hurt.

BTW the Jayhawks are fighting tooth and claw with UNLV right now. I sure hope they don't mess up my free beer bet. (kidding)

I gotta get my nose checked. Rutgers lost 44 - 28 after leading for much of the first half (sound familiar?).

Last time I checked Kansas was up by 9. Go Jayhawks! Free beer for me!

Memphis rolled over Ole Miss and UT handled Marshall.

I wasn't nearly impressed with UT today as I was with the Tigers. Had they not given up 17 points on special teams, they would have absolutely routed the Rebels.

I'm trying to figure out who's gonna be tougher for us - UF or Miami? UF will be tough at the Swamp. I just can't stand Miami though.

Noles looked good (after the first play).

I'm not into moral victories, but last night made me feel pretty good about Mike Shula and the type of team he will field. In the next few years our numbers will start to catch up with us and there will be some leans times, BUT this guy can coach. ROLL TIDE!!!!

Auburn is pathetic. No Offense.

How in th eworld did the GAtors let Miami back in?

The Red Raiders fans must have been a little nervous at one point, Lobos pulled within 7.

"9/6/03 -
Texas Tech Upends Lobos


The University of New Mexico football team could not overcome a 21-0 halftime deficit and fell to the Texas Tech Red Raiders 42-28 in front of 45,844 at SBC Jones Stadium in Lubbock, Texas. The Lobos had over 500 yards of total offense, including a career rushing performance from junior D.D. Cox. Cox rushed for over 180 yards and scored three touchdowns replacing the injured DonTrell Moore. " golobos.com
