Not really related to the subject, but I still thought I'd drop this here.
I wasn't going to mention it...
I'm probably the only person on the planet who bothered to watch SECN's recap of the bowls on NYD night.
That is, I skipped to their coverage of our game. I bypassed what appeared to be the bitter tears over Bama.
They gave us about 30 seconds. The whole time, the entire crew made fun of the dude who was chosen to narrate our highlights -- laughing at whether he navigated Nico's last name. I mean, to the point where you couldn't hear anything the guy said.
Look -- I understand these guys being a little slap happy after a long day of bowl games. And indulging in a little inside humor. But this was unprofessional and over the top. and since it was OUR guy -- I couldn't have cared less if was Tua or somebody --
it pissed me off. Most everything does, these days.
They got properly reverential again for the LSU segment.
It just speaks to how we're treated, in general, by the limpd--k media.
"We get screwed more often than a crack whore."
Had they tried to score after getting a 1st down on the one yard line with about 30 seconds left I would have thought it was lacking class. We let the time run out after getting the first down........good move.
That's it.
It really just came down to one or two plays, that were "really? We're still trying to stick it in, at this point?"
This is where Johnny or Phil woulda called off the dogs. I know... it's a different era. A different age. "The Age of the Retard".
I'm glad Heup took off the headset when we didn't score, but got the first down.
If he'd run a scoring play at that point -- ZERO class.
I know "class" is a word like "irony" or "risqué" or "unbelievable", that has been retired from the lexicon...
but I'm glad I, personally, didn't have to be embarrassed to be a Vol fan.
