Bosworth Calls Tennessee Fans Rednecks
Tennessee fans have a new enemy on UCLA’s team. UCLA defensive end Korey Bosworth said, “There will be 100,000 rednecks against us down there, and those are my people.” Bosworth made sure to include himself as part of the rednecks, but you know that Tennessee fans will not enjoy this quote. Will Bryce Brown run [...]
Kiffin #8 On Coaches Hot Seat?
We mentioned in earlier posts that we think Al Groh, Dan Hawkins, Steve Kragthorpe and Ralph Friedgen will all get fired once the season ends. It is one thing to back up these statements with facts, but it is another thing to make the same statement about a coach that is in his first season. You could [...]
What Tennessee’s Win Really Means
This game actually meant more than you’d think. WKU is the worst team in FBS football, but they’re no less talented than any number of FCS teams that played BCS conference opponents this weekend.

College Football: Weekend Overreactions
Georgia’s got friggin’ problems. Yes, Joe Cox had the flu. Sure, it doesn’t help that Caleb King was out with the hamstring issue. Of little importance. Gerogia’s vaunted OL couldn’t create a hole all day. This is an OK State defense that Oklahoma dropped 60 on last year. UGA had 6 linemen with a year of [...]

College Football Storylines
A quick glance would make one think that this will be a relatively uneventful year in the world of college football. There are probably only 4 teams that have a shot to win the BCS title (and by 4 teams we mean Florida). Tim Tebow will have to go Josh Briscoe on a kid to [...]
