The South Shakes

The earth will quake today in Knoxville as the football team from the University of Alabama, a dreaded rival, comes rolling in to face the home-standing Volunteers. The Crimson Tide arrive seeing red as they feel (with justification) that the officiating crew took a win away from them against the Georgia Bulldogs. They seem to be the superior team on paper to Tennessee, but playing at home should give the Big Orange a bit of a boost. With each team already suffering a loss, a second defeat will definitely end national and conference title hopes, while the winner can still hope to be in the championship mix. As a lifelong Tennessean who has had friends and a relative play football for the Vols, I hope my side shocks the world and delivers another "L" to the boys from Tuscaloosa.
