"More Cowbell"...hilarious. One of the funniest SNL sketches ever. Right up there with "Samurai whatever", and William Shatner.
Now...we lost the game. LSU didn't win it, we lost it. Simple as that. Think back to '98. Syracuse. Arkansas. Yeah, I know...great plays by UT players to win the game. But really? One tackle by a Syracuse defender...or an Arkansas QB who knows how to fall on the ball...and no BCS trophy for UT.
Again, simple as that.
UT Football...and Derek Dooley...has heart. This team wants to win. What a welcome change from previous teams that expected to win, and made excuses when they didn't. Yes, the losses hurt. Especially the tough ones, like this one. But tough losses make tough teams, and this team, in the games and years to come...if they hold the course they're on...will win the tough games, and the big games, in time.
This is a bowl team. Right now. They might not get to one, but riddle me this: What 8-4 team would want to play this UT team on a neutral field in December?
Maybe West Virginia. They have nothing to lose.
It is what it is.
Go Vols.
