Brian Kelly Should Start Packing for South Bend
Â
It is now a guarantee that Notre Dame will fire Charlie Weis after the season. Navy beat the Fighting Irish 23-21 and this is the second straight season that the Midshipmen have upset the Fighting Irish. Weis is one of the most overpaid coaches in all of sports and this has to be his last [...]
So Knotes
So Knotes are Will West’s views on sports from the office window of his South Knoxville abode…you know once you look past the yard sales and road kill carcasses.
Erin Andrews is in town. Our girl E.A. is in town working the sideline of tonight’s UT/ South Carolina game. We’ve never had the pleasure, but we [...]
Herbstreit Not a Fan of Pryor
 Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor has yet to live up to the hype that surrounded him when he signed with the Buckeyes. Everybody thought that Pryor would be the next great college quarterback. The Buckeyes have no chance of playing for the BCS Championship and many Ohio State fans are starting to criticise Pryor. If [...]
Power Rankings: Top 5 College Football Games of the Weekend
1)  Oklahoma @ Kansas: The only game featuring two ranked teams headlines a weak slate of games. Kansas has the advantage in the passing game with QB Todd Reesing and WR’s Kerry Meier and Dezmon Briscoe. Oklahoma is banged up in the trenches. Demarco Murray has been the lone bright spot for the Sooners offensively, [...]
Should BCS Schools Hire Terry Bowden?
If somebody says the last name Bowden right now, you think of Bobby Bowden possibly being forced to retire at Florida State after this season. While this is a huge news story, one of Bowden’s sons is having a very successful comeback to coaching. Terry Bowden’s North Alabama team is ranked number two in Division [...]

Jimmy Clausen should, but won’t win the Heisman. Halfway through the season Clausen’s running away with the nation’s passing crown while playing against a relatively [...]
Furman Bisher’s Parting Shots
If you grew up in the South, then you read Furman Bisher’s award-winning columns on a daily basis. It was a sad time this week when Bisher wrote his last column with The AJC, but Jeff Schultz let him take some parting shots in his Countdown column. Here are some of our favorites:
Bisher on Mark [...]
College Football: Weekend Overreactions
Worst weekend for football watching of the year. A lot of that’s on the NFL as well, but the college ranks really did there part to make you wish that you’d taken the significant other to see Couples Retreat. None the less, we know a little bit more about the college football world than we [...]
College Football Talking Points
Let’s just say, for arguments sake, that the Vols lose again to Georgia and Crompton stinks the place up in the process (both very distinct possibilities). For the fifth week in a row the talk of the town will turn to the same QB questions that Tennessee fans were asking last year.
We’ve decided to provide [...]
Is Tennessee the New Michigan?
We can’t help but compare this year’s Tennessee team to last year’s Michigan squad. Both historically proud programs were decimated by lackadaisical practice attitudes, a fall off in recruiting, departures, injuries, and a clear lack of play makers.Â
Hopefully Tennessee fans won’t jump ship on this staff as quickly as that fickle bunch in Ann Arbor [...]
