Rocky Top and a silly question


Headed to Knoxville with the Women's Basketball team this weekend. It'll be a great test for this team to find out where they are. Here's a pic I took 2 years ago when they last went there. You gotta love the checkerboard baselines. Here are a couple quick Pat Summitt stats I looked up.
I always look up numbers when UT plays Tennessee or UConn because they are so stupid. Get this: In 33 years at the other UT, Summitt's teams have lost 10 or more games only 6 times. In 21 of those seasons, they lost 5 or fewer games, and that includes a string of 10 in a row that is still going. Oh yeah, and 7 titles.

Ok, here's my dumb question on a different topic. Why can't you advance a muffed punt? I think it's just a high school and college rule, but why does it still exist? You give them a chance to catch it, they don't, the ball pops up in your hands, but you can't run with it? Why not? As George Carlin once said, these are the thoughts that kept me out of the really good schools. Everybody have a great weekend. I'll talk to you on Monday at 11 am central on the web show. I'm going to try and get Will Carroll from Baseball Prospectus to come on and talk Bonds and stuff. Feel free to click the link to the right and check out the first 3 shows. Stupid News, Brian Jones, Stripper DJ, Craig Way, and the Scottish Guy. It's all there.

I feel kind of sorry for you, having to watch a game at Thompson-Boling and all. Did they play they weird banjo version of Rocky Top with some country artist screeching the words?

The Tennessee co-eds are delicious, but god damn, that song is annoying.
