Wasn't even his real twitter account, name spelled wrong as well gave it away. But, he actually got credited with 2 sacks, one was touching the QB after he fell down himself.

Wowzers, we just can NOT come out strong, ever...I know it was a testy 1st game against a team that played everyone close last year, but damn... Playcalling was...questionable. Why are you throwing 5 out of 6 plays with a backup QB in, AND a RB that Vandy can't consistently stop? LOTS of work to do from now until next week, but at least a) I can watch football tomorrow and Saturday without sweating my team's game, and b) we don't play Georgia next week. That'd be ugly Top 10 team? Not at all, not right now, but there is 11 more of these to go.

It'd REALLY suck to lose 3 of 4 to the O's, after sweeping through Seattle at home. And yes, I know Baltimore is way better than Seattle. That doesn't mean we should be accepting of bad baseball.

And here I was, thinking Baltimore took batting practice BEFORE the game started...turns out they delayed it until the 3rd inning.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Aug 30, 2012 -> 11:25 AM) I hope you freaking pummel James Franklin and Vanderbilt into the ground. I have no problem with Vandy - I've always liked them - but I can't stand James Franklin and I really hope yall put them in there place. The popular pick seems to be everyone taking Vandy (at least against the spread). Please prove them wrong. I even heard a guy call into a national sports talk show today and pick Vandy to win the East. Seriously? The James Franklin lovefest is sickening. I never realized how easy it was to get people to buy into unfounded hype, but damn, people have lost their minds about Vandy and Franklin. I'm sure they are going to be playing on hype and emotion early on, but that only goes so far. Then, depth and talent takes over. I don't think it will be any kind of blowout, but I do think it will be a 13-17 point win, which I'm more than ok with. As for the East thing, I've heard that as well. I guess no one realizes that their 6-7 record last year consisted of wins over Elon...Connecticut...Army...Ole Miss...Kentucky...and Weak Florist. Yeah, I'm impressed.

That was fast.. Holy hell, have I been here 9+ years???

GAMEDAY!!

Did we really just change pitchers up 8-1 with 2outs??

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 28, 2012 -> 09:13 PM) One g*dd*mn hit. You can't say g*dd*mn on the radio!

Wow, I got here late to see we have managed....1 hit?

0-9 with 6 K's coming up for us in the 9th!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 01:46 PM) Do you have that hooked up thru HDMI? Yes sir. all feeds are through the receiver via HDMI. So ESPN3 via XBox, for those random off games to watch, and DirecTV of course for the rest. QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 12:22 PM) Clearly he is getting a Kegerator in there. That thought occurred to me, but I must admit, I don't drink that much these days. Once the water is gone, I'm sure I'll refill it with beer.

3.......days...........away........ The theater is up and ready... The fridge and snacks are stocked! Let's get this 2012 season going already!

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:49 AM) Oh, he's definitely bad trouble. I never said he was a model citizen. But there's plenty of guys in college football who have bad attitudes and big egos that are able to keep it check to the point where they don't get kicked off the team. Most of them are at least selfish enough to follow the rules not because they agree with them, but because they want that NFL paycheck. And I know for a fact that it wasn't just substance abuse. If it was just drug-related, he would have had a 1 game suspension. From what I know (and this is from a friend's friend who works for the football team so it may not be 100% accurate): this "indefinite" suspension was caused because he flipped out on the coaches and said some malicious/ridiculous things, so they had no choice other than to suspend him. Of course, that stemmed from the fact that he was going to get suspended for the 1st game b/c he failed a drug test. It wasn't the failed drug test. It was how he handled the news of his failed drug test and subsequent suspension. Regardless, most guys on the team didn't like Rogers. So I can only hope this is one of those "addition by subtraction" situations. I'm most interested to see how Tennessee's running game looks this year. It was pretty abysmal last year, and thats not something I'm used to seeing from Tenn. I also read Rogers' issues might have stemmed from some plagiarism in classes to stay eligible. Who the hell knows though, regardless it is a shame that these knuckleheads can't stay focused long enough to survive 3 years in college.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 05:31 PM) Well, yeah, but you know what I mean. It could have been any number of players and I wouldn't have cared much. But it just happens to be that our Top 5 in the country/future 1st round draft pick at WR decides to be a freaking idiot and blows up at the coaches and essentially gets kicked off the team. It's not like he robbed someone or was selling drugs. He mouthed off to Dooley and is paying the price. With all the other stuff that has happened to this program in the last 10 years, I'd consider it an extension of our run of bad luck. Well, actually most sources say its from repeated violations of substance abuse. Now, whether that is weed, or whatever, who knows, but he isn't getting the boot due to just talking back to a coach. Lets not cast Rogers as a model citizen who just can't hold his tongue. The kid is pretty bad trouble.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Aug 22, 2012 -> 10:24 AM) I concluded as much after watching the beginning of this clip through 1:25 from the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. Great performance of Yer Blues afterwards as well. I do think his post-Beatles stuff was a lot more hit or miss than McCartney's post-Beatles stuff. Some of it sounds so generic. Thanks for the link, I enjoyed that. As for a reunion, no one can ever say it wouldn't have happened, but I highly doubt it would have ever come to fruition. It was never about the money, and clearly none of them needed it. Add to that, John had the desire to settle down and focus on raising Sean and being out of the musical spotlight, I doubt we'd have ever been lucky enough to see all 4 together again. I think the comparison to Pink Floyd is pretty comparable. Waters and Gilmour don't feel like anything else needs to be done as a group, and feel like it won't bring anything else to the table so to speak, regardless of how much money is waved in front of them. That being said, the wife and I went to see Roger Waters' The Wall in Charlotte, and it was a helluva lot of fun to see.

.............................

PLEASE REMOVE MATT THORNTON FROM THIS GAME

Winner. 1.5 game lead, Chris gets win #12 with a gritty performance.

And, our cloesr is in...ok? Well, he hasn't worked in 4 days, so I guess it was due.

I have hopes that Dayan can finish the season in the .265-.270 range, with 20 HRs and 80 RBI, Alexei can be at .275-.280 with 60 RBI, and Beckham at .245-.250 with 12 HRs and 60 RBI. I'd be content with all of the above

Rios! ALEXEI! Now I feel a bit better about this one.

No bunt? Not like I think Flowers can actually get a hit. And the K...he could really challenge Dunn for the K title if he played 160 games.

Judging by mlb gameday, this ump kinda sucks?

Asshat. and yeah, so glad we had Myers there, and used Mr 1.50 WHIP Nate Jones. Thanks again for your efforts.... And just like that, its a 1 run game.
