It's a slow week on Vol activity...no recruiting news to speak of, no bowl game, no apparent news forthcoming on OC coach hire and Tennessee Tech is our "game of the week" for our beloved bball Vols, so figured we could celebrate Festivus, VN style, and take some time to "Air our Grievances". Mine are below...
1. Of all the football games we played, with a bowl game on the line, to come out and have a lackluster effort against in-state rival Vandy is at the top of my list.
2. Basketball writers taking turns ranking Duke, Gonzaga, Kansas as #1, choosing to leapfrog the Vols...in my opinion, because we aren't stacked with future NBA first rounders. Am sure Michigan has same disagreement w/ writers. But, hey, it's early, and if we keep handling our business, all that stuff doesn't really matter.
3. Minor annoyance... I live in NJ, so I listen to Knoxville sports talk on iHeart radio (sports animal), and the repeated deluge of commercials for Cordell, Cordell, Cordell divorce lawyers, tooth brushes, and Big O tires is almost enough to make me not listen...especially having to re-listen to them when the app kicks out and have to listen all over again when I go back on.

Hope everyone has a happy new years

Grievance #1- Tennessee Offensive Line plays like little girls...scared of contracting "cooties"
Grievance #2- Tennessee Losing ONCE AGAIN to Vandy
Grievance #3- Tennessee fans that STILL make fun of Vandy...when Vandy OWNS Tennessee over the last 7 years

Well, keep grieving, because I'm going to keep making fun of Vandy for as long as I want to -- because they'll always be Candy to me.

And by the way, they haven't owned anybody over the last seven years. They've beaten us 5 out of 7 -- but not 7 straight. And they won't.

If you like Candy so much, their board would love to have you. It only has about 6 posters -- about half of their fanbase.

Stop listening to state run radio. Check out Fox Sports Knoxville aka Fanrun Radio. The app live streams without dumb sign ins and full shows are posted in podcast form if you miss any.

That Seinfeld episode rocked and I think that was the episode where Cosmo Kramer worked in the bagel shop.
