Be still, my heart

Gag me with a spoon.

I haven’t watched GameDay in ages, so it’s no great loss (besides, I’ll be on the way up to Athens).  But giving three or four hours to show Tooth Nation in all its ragged glory seems like a questionable, maybe even tasteless, decision.

What’s the over/under on the number of “We want ‘Bama/UGA” signs in the crowd?

    This should be called the Self-Sabotage Bowl since Tennessee usually does everything in its power to lose it. But this year I have a feeling they’ll have to hold AR15’s beer in that regard.

  2. Worst fanbase in America. No one will ever change my mind.

      Not even close. I live in the state, some of my friends are obnoxious Vol fans, but that’s not what sends me over the edge. It’s the toxic online presence. If you’re on Twitter you can’t avoid it. It’s like every Vol fan is a combination of the worst fan traits all rolled into one. They’re trolls.

      Yep; that’s where they should have been just for the fun of it. After changing everything at the last minute this week, though, maybe the interns in charge of scheduling threatened a walk-out if all other plans were scrapped again.

  7. Didn’t Junior and Lulu get hitched there last time GameDay was in town? They should send The new dude over to the trailer park to check on her.

  9. If we are lucky, some hillbilly pegs Herbie in the back of the head with a mustard bottle. But yeah, poor choice considering the fan behavior up there.

      I don’t like KH much, and he blocked me on Twitter a while ago (probably because of something I said about his duplicitous stance toward Mark Richt and Urbz), but as someone has mentioned, the way he treats Lee Corso on-air is a wonderful representation of respecting someone’s dignity, and maybe that shows the rest of us how to handle someone who may be struggling with some stuff.

        May have told this story here before, but my then wife and KH were HS classmates. We attended the 2003 UGA-LSU game in BR as her maid of honor was a nurse at the LSU student health center and her now-husband was a student trainer for the football team. We got close to the set and I wish I had a camera to capture the look on KH’s face when my ex got his attention. He got one of the staffers to get to us and we got to hang on set post-show and meet everyone. Could not have been a nicer guy.

    • I don’t mind Herbie. I just think a mustard bottle to the back of the head would be hilarious.

  13. I’ve said it a million times here and I’ll say it again- Tennessee fans are my least favorite and it’s not even close. The program fell on hard times and so did their fans, except the fan base have taken it to another level. Been going up there since Manning was their QB and Mark Richt turned them into some real assholes. Damn football. They need a hobby. I almost hope Florida wins that game. FTMF. FbothTMF!

    Gag is right. Fl is bad enough but the vowels are worse, to me. Tooth nation can go take a flying leap, if they weren’t all too morbidly obese to leave the ground. Dawgs will eat them both up, so no sweat to me!

    Not sure anyone’s thinking practically here: Knoxville’s not that far from Boone, NC. Saves some expenses just hauling the buses and all the equipment over the Smoky Mountains instead of going to Kansas
