5 days!!!!!!

originally published in 2009, but ima do a bit of fine-tuning to keep us current.

gosh, i know! i have been slacking big-time on the UT-football-greatness list. to make it up to all of you, and to get us all back on schedule, ima do a 4sie 3sietoday. here we go!


10. the pride of the southland marching band
9. smokey
8. rocky top

7. the color orange!!

this should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me. orange is my favorite color. just ask anything i own. like my bike.

pantone 151c = where it's at.

6. eric berry!! gerald jones!!

now that eric berry is all grown up and playing in the NFL, and modesty hardesty, too...it's time for me to pick my new favorite player. now, i don't know that much about our current team. i wanted nothing more than for bryce brown bearz to step up and be my next favorite. but he ruined everything.

regardless, i'm delighted to announce that this year, i'm so excited to see gerald jones on the field. some reasons i love him: he's ceeyute, he likes to sing, he likes to dance, he has the same birthday as ktv, and he embearasses georgia regularly.

just sayin'... be sure to keep your peepers on number 14 4. he's a show-stopper!

5. trash talking

ugh. georgia is the worst. their colors are red and black, which are ugly and boring. and they can never beat tennessee. it's like, if you put adult clothes on a bunch of toddlers and sent them out onto a football field...THAT's what it's like when georgia plays.

don't even get me started on florida. they repeatedly have poor wardrobe choices, they think their quarterback is so great, and their stadium is totes UgLy!

and auburn. second-rate at just about everything. guh-ross! their mascot is "tigers" but they yell "war eagle" like it makes any sense at all. that is 1) not an acceptible greeting, 2) not your mascot, and 3) not even an animal. more like "butt eagle".

and the same goes for the rest of you.

to be fair, the SEC is the greatest conference in all of college football, and i'd rather see all of these teams win than anyone in the big 10, especially the mf-ing nittany kitty katz. me-ouch!
