Want my NFL predictions for the year? Here they are.
So I go to the Tennessee Vs.Ucla football game and yes I am excited about the game and I am ready to see our D, our running game, and YES even our QB. After last week against Western Kentucky there was a good feeling in the air. I know that Western Kentucky was an FCS team last year but we still beat them like a drum. So here it is Saturday afternoon and I am thinking the final score is going to be 27 - 13 or something like that. I feel confident about or D and I like the way our O looks. Then here it comes... Crompton throws a bad looking pass and it is intercepted. OK well last week against Western Kentucky he also had a few bad looking passes and a couple of INT's so maybe it is all good. I am sure he will pick it up and play better. I was WRONG. I was DEAD WRONG. Crompton played as badly as he did last year. He was just plain AWFUL!!!! 13/26 for 93 yards, 3 INT's, a lost fumble, and NO TD's. He was back to his old ways. The running game was decent but after UCLA saw that Crompton was so bad they focused on stopping the run and they we able to hold us to 115 yards on the ground. Once again our D was outstanding. The D held UCLA to 4 field goals and 1 TD even though it seemed like they started with the ball on our end of the field all day because of the 4 turnovers that Crompton had. The D held them to 186 total yards of offense, only 12 first downs all day, and got a safety when it mattered. The D getting that safety gave us a chance to win with 1:41 to go in the game. All we had to do was drive 65 yards and score a td.... Too bad Crompton sucks sooooooooo bad that we could not even gain a yard and we turned the ball over on downs and the game was over.
63- 7..... Go Vols!
As I sit here and watch Wimbledon I remember from my childhood when I used to love to watch tennis. It brings back interesting feelings from childhood in which I watched tennis sitting on the floor legs crossed and cheering for my favorite stars. I know that some people don't find tennis interesting and to be honest I respect that but keep in mind this is my sports blog NOT yours.
I will get this rolling again soon. I have been a bit busy with the kiddo and such..... More to come soon.
So I am going to save my overall State Of Tennessee Address for after this game. I want to give the coaching staff, players, and fans the benefit of the doubt for one more day. Until then I am going to stay optimistic and just give you my hopeful prediction for how this game should or could go.
So I am not sure if you know this but there is a pretty big game this weekend....
Just in case you don't know what time it is let me inform you. This is the time of year that we all look forward to. I know I know some of you like Spring showers and some of you like that time of year when there are no real sports going on AKA Summer (of course I think you are all dumb but who am I to say that I am just not a Baseball fan). I guess bottom line is the real time of the year that matters is FOOTBALL season!!!! I am just giddy with excitement and now I have Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and sometimes Thursdays to look forward to.....
