Finebaum's Take On Alabama/UT

Part of the reason for the downpaly is Tenn-Ala is the divisional play in the SEC. Games aginst the east opponents are more important in terms of winning the division than games against teams in the other division.

No.....CBS just thinks Florida vs Kentucky will get higher ratings.....They see Tebow as having a star magnetism that draws neutral fans....and it will be a much higher scoring game with more big plays.

I hadn't thought it until now, but I'm sure CBS wasn't exactly thrilled with the 6-3 game a couple of years ago. You could practically hear the remotes clicking the game off everywhere except in Tennessee and Alabama. I can see how CBS might be inclined to show something with more potential fireworks.

As I see it, the relatively small fact that your bama game is not being nationally broadcast has become, for UT fans, the embodiment of the larger fact that UT as a program has ended up as a footnote to the college football season.You guys sound like you are rationalizing things WAY too much.
spoken like someone who's a fan of a team that hasn't had any rivals save the past 25-30 years.

you have no frame of reference here Donnie.:birgits_giggle:

You got that right. He grew up in Memphis as a Bear Bryant fan. Nerdy little hair-challenged guy who probably never had a date while on the hill. He runs a soap oprae radio show here with the same retards calling in every day. He doesn't know the difference in a spread offense and a spread eagle.

That's the funniest thing I've read in here in some time. Is it okay if I use this in the future?

Finnebaum signed a contract for 1/2 million per/earlier this year. I moved from Tenn to Birmingham about 4yrs ago and I cannot believe he is allowed to say the things he does. He is a true cancer in this state and keeps the bammers and aubies at each others throats 365 days a year.

And yes Finebaum is a UT alum, but really hates the Vols. If you ever listen to his radio program or read his editorials you'll pick up quickly his distaste for the Vols program. He likes to take verbal jabs at the Vols as well. Not what I consider very professional journalism.
Finebaum is paid to write opinion. His opinion of Fulmer is that he's a rat and a douchebag. That's not at all bad journalism. It's good commentary.

I hate rationalizing. I just know we're ahead of the gators in the loss column. Nuff said.... :neener2:

As I see it, your backhanded shot at Tennessee football is an embodiment of a psychological defense mechanism which has no doubt been triggered by the fact that Florida may well be on their way to a 3rd straight loss in 3 weeks and a state of irrelevance not seen since Ron Zook was barging into fraternity houses at 3 a.m.
