Good Old Rocky Top

Tennessee at LSU

Halftime Score: 0-21
End of 3rd Quarter: 7-24
End of 4th Quarter: 24-24
End of Overtime: 30-27

Yeah, you read that right. Tennessee beat LSU in Tiger Stadium - AND scored all of their points after halftime.

Best Story of the Evening: Rick Clausen - This guy came in at halftime and turned around a team that was literally falling apart on the field. I think that the first half was quite possibly some of the worst UT football I've ever seen.

MVP: The UT defense - They held Florida to three field goals last week when it should have been three touchdowns, and this week they did not disappoint in the 2nd half - two field goals is all LSU got after halftime - opening up a chance for the offense to come in and do some major damage.

Most Improved: Special Teams - So maybe God does micromanage. (j/k) Seriously though, there was some major improvement from the Florida game to tonight.

Best Moment of the Evening: Hearing Rocky Top blast through Tiger Stadium as thousands of LSU students wearing "Beat Tennessee" t-shirts filed out in a state of shock and disappointment.

I bleed orange. I love UT football, and I love watching them come back and dismantle LSU.

Watch out Ole Miss - we're improving and we're in Neyland.

    PREACH IT!

    I'll admit, I was panicking. But the way that Clausen pulled the offense together and got it moving was something else! I agree with you as well that the best part of the evening was the shots of utter disbelief on the faces of the LSU fans when Riggs scored the clinching TD. OUR CHAMPIONSHIP HOPES ARE STILL ALIVE!

    What an awesome game! I watched the whole thing with GKB (I know he said that on his blog). Let's keep reeling off these wins and see what happens. Rick Clausen for Governor!

    Jackson, MS (AP) – A seven-year-old boy was at the center of a Jackson courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

    The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.

    After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Ole Miss Rebels, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.
