Götterdämmerung. The Twilight of the Old Gods.

Just saw today that legendary ZZ Top bassman Dusty Hill has been called to do a command performance by The Lord Hissownself. Dusty Hill Dead: ZZ Top Bassist Was 72 - Variety Vaya con dios, Dusty! Thanks for all the music and the memories ... And the fuzzy guitars!

I always thought it was cool that both NFL "Rookie of the Year" selections for 1992 were from that Tennessee team: Dale Carter on defense and Carl Pickens on offense.

Not even close, my friend. I would list 1976 (6-5 after a 7-5 1975), 1977 (4-7 Majors first year after his NC at Pitt only SEC win was vs Vandy), 1988 (5-6 lost first six games coming off a 10-2-1 1987 season and finishing ranked 17th), 2005 (5-7 opened the year ranked #5, lost to Vandy at home...
