Tennessee’s hopes of a College Football Playoff invitation are dead. And I love it.<\/p>\n
The Vols got blown out 63-38 by South Carolina yesterday. It was glorious to watch. It’s said to be the most points scored by an unranked team against a Top 5 opponent since 1936.<\/p>\n
I knew the Vols would do this. They always find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. “WEEEEEEELLLLLLLLL DOGGIES… I GUESS WE AIN’T MAKIN’ IT TO THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR… BUT LET ME TEEEELLLLL YOU WHUT BOYYYYYEEEE… NEXT YEEEEEEEAAAAARRRRR…. I THINK THASSSSS GONNNNN BEEEEEEEE ARRRRRRR YEEEEAAARRRRR”<\/p>\n
Losers. Bleacher Report: “This was an embarrassment. It was the type of loss a team takes when the moment is too big, and the Vols now are out of the playoff picture.” Yep.<\/p>\n
More good news: Memphis shut out North Alabama 59-0 to become bowl-eligible.<\/p>\n
Even more good news: Arkansas became bowl-eligible after defeating Ole Miss 42-27. How about an Arkansas-Memphis bowl game? That’d be fun. Birmingham Bowl? Gasparilla Bowl?<\/p>\n
Penny’s Memphis Tigers host VCU at 4 today at FedExForum. Great matchup against a perennial NCAA tournament contender. The Tigers have a new court design<\/a>.<\/p>\n Today’s National Peanut Butter Fudge Day<\/a>. And it’s NFL Sunday. How much fudge could the Packers pack, if the Packers could pack fudge?<\/p>\n Fair warning: This is going to be a very slow week on this blog. Thanksgiving is a very slow news week and I have some tasks to get done. I’ll post when I can.<\/p>\n Time to go sit at Kelly’s bar and inflict damage on my liver.
