Woody Paige is a sports reporter based in Denver. I've seen him on several occasions make comments on the Volunteer State. He wore a Tennessee football sweat shirt on Around the Horn today. I apologize for not knowing, but what's his ties? Is he an alum?

He was a Lambda Chi Alpha as well and came to Knoxville the spring of 2004 to talk at our Founder's Day, he is hilarious, and a pretty cool guy. There was an article about it in the beacon with some comments I am not sure if you can find it on the web.

i was in law school in the early 70s when paige was writing a regular column for the daily beacon (i believe it was called 'torn paige'). it was right after the high water mark of the counter culture (a different era entirely). there were a lot of good writers floating around in those days, but woody was something special. jaded as i was, i looked forward to his columns. i suspect that if they were excavated from the archives, they would wear very well today.

Lambda Chi is doing great right now. Doing alot of good for the community and have 100 strong active chapter. I was vice president for a year then social chair for 2 others, but just graduated in December. The chapter is holding Founder's day this year in the Sunsphere high above world's fair park...if you want to message me your dad's email I would be glad to send him some information on it!

GO VOLS!!

Woody's an ass and a bad representative for the university. I've seen him lampoon UT on both of those crappy shows he did for ESPN. His opinions are vertiginous and pointless.

His thesaurus is broken. That's a terrible word to use to describe an opinion in 2008. My O.E.D. give a definition that works well in this context, "unstable or unsettled in opinions, etc.; inconstant; apt to change quickly," but then offers that this meaning was "Frequent in the 17th century" and offers an 1896 citation as its most recent usage. Otherwise it just means "steep" or "vertigo-inducing." There have to be a dozen better words to describe an excessively malleable opinion than that one. Assuming that your primary goal is to communicate to your audience, of course, and not to emulate George F. Will.
