Man, I hate it when UT loses to Alabama. Sucks. Sucks. Sucks.

We left at half time to go to a party in a pub. We took Cletus, which might have been a mistake. Folks were watching the rugby world cup finals in the pub (England v South Africa). England was looking for a second championship in a row. Emotions were high. Cheers were loud. Everytime England scored or had a chance, the pub roared and Cletus burst into tears. Maybe it was the noise, or maybe he's a budding South Africa fan.
Of course, we're raising him to support England in football - soccer and rugby, too I guess - and Tennessee in football (football). Not a good time right now.

Poor Cletus. As if there's not enough to cry about when you're an infant.
(I wish I felt more passionately about this Bama v. UT stuff. I know I'm a lousy trash talker. My main grudge against the Vols and their fans is that they made the two years I tried to live and study in Knoxville a living hell on game weekends. Also, I don't look good in orange.)
Roll tide.
What Rex? coming out of bloggy retreat just to kick me - and my baby - when we're down?
Sorry, but I had to. I'm a HUGE South Africa fan.
You know I thought about proposing a "3rd Saturday" bet last week. Two things stopped me:
1. I have no real affection for the Tide.
2. Vols fans (and yes, I know this applies to most all fans) are "bad winners" and "horrible losers" so it was a no win sitution for me.
Hence I passed. Still, I feel for Cletus, what with his mother's insane devotion to the Big Orange Fulmers and all.
BTW, there was a good story on J. Majors in the Oct. 17 HSV Times (link isn't working right now, search later if you're interested). Man, that guy is still BITTER!
Ah yes, I can see how your fabled love of the Springboks might make you do that
"Love of the Springboks."
Is that anything like a Scot's love of sheep?
