Hopefully I'm of use in-season.

Do you cut grass or wash windows?

Also, I'm with you ... that surprises me about the UTk vs Bama series. Almost makes us feel as if we've been duped into thinking tsio is a big deal.

Seems like there should be no further discussion about keeping that a regular interdivisional permanent series so we should feel free to make schedule adjustments and swap division members accordingly.

Let Auburn come to the East, send Mizzou to the West. Make Auburn vs Bama each other's permanent interdivisional game and be done with it.

If you look at the UTk vs Bama thing ... it's just not that big of a deal anymore and, honestly, it's only UTk fans who are clinging to it so desperately.

Other East teams deserve more shots at the champs. If we take a moment and look at it that way then UTk is really being selfish. Not only that but they're not really holding-up their end of the bargin by giving Bama a competitive game ... and they really haven't this millennium for the most part.

Let's give some other teams in the East a shot at the champs. That's the American way.

Here's another way to look at it.

If we were talking Heavyweight Championships the way this tsio thing has been pawned off on the conference ... Muhammed Ali would have fought Carmine Acevedo three times over the years instead of Smokin' Joe Fraizier. What a travesty that would have been giving Carmine all those shots at the champ instead of Smokin' Joe.

Anyone remember Carmine The Ace Acevedo? Nah, I thought not. And that's pretty much what UTk is anymore.

Let's allow some real challengers from the East like UGA, SC and UF have some cracks at the champ during the regular season for a change.

Let's start a new trend ... #NoMoTSIO!

Pretty big talk from a fan of a team who has won absolutely nothing.

Rankings matter little in a true rivalry.

That's part of what makes rivalries so much fun.

David can knock off Goliath and have an entire year to crow about it.

Surely a South Carolina fan understands what I'm talking about.
