The “U” hammered Georgia Tech last night. I was sorry to see that. I turned the TV off in the third quarter and went to bed. Besides not liking the “U” of Miami very much, I am also a big Paul Johnson fan.
Florida kicks off the SEC schedule with a home game vs. Tennessee tomorrow. The Gators were favored by 29 points the last time a looked. I got a call from my stock broker, Steve, who handles my IRA. He is located in Nashville and is a Tennessee grad. Most of the times he calls, we end up talking college football. He was really pretty funny about the point spread. “Well maybe I can turn off the TV half time and get some things done around the house.”
In honor of tomorrow’s game, here is some UT trash-talk. (I didn’t use any of this on poor Steve. He was despondent enough as it was.) By the way, full credit goes to the various fans who contributed these jokes on message boards. Feel free to borrow the material and insert your favorite opponent as appropriate.
