Have You Heard About The Lonesome Losers?

Vandy overwhelms Vols with superior talent and coaching – cementing the Vols’ first losing season since 1988.

The Shreveport Dream is finally dead.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Earl Bennett caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Jay Cutler with 1:11 to go and Vanderbilt ended a 22-game losing streak to Tennessee with a 28-24 victory Saturday.

The Volunteers (4-6, 2-5 SEC) will not be eligible for a bowl for the first time since 1988, another crushing blow in the worst season in coach Phillip Fulmer’s 14-year tenure.

The Commodores (5-6, 3-5) won in Neyland Stadium for the first time since 1975, and their overall streak was the second-longest between major teams in Division I-A. Notre Dame’s 42-game winning streak over Navy is the longest.

   Oh fuck. You predicted this in email.

   Bastard, curse your semi-clairvoyance.

   I’m still keeping the Vols as a Team I Root For As Long As They Don’t Play The Huskers.

   Speaking of that email, why does my beer taste so salty all of the sudden. And my vision is blurring.

   Woops, wait a sec.

   At least it ain’t like ours last year.

   You know, the Husker’s first losing season since 1968

   Vols are a prison intramural team. These f#ckers deserve every bit of this loss. Most of the players couldn’t pass an Algebra I class under an objective professor.

   Phat Phil has a bunch of animals to contend with and he “canst gets em’ motivationalized.”

   Enjoy it now, dickface, because the next 22-year drought begins in 2006.

   Once Cutcliffe comes back, those boys will fall in line.

   Wait, I can’t tell if I’m joking or not.

   Don’t be a sore loser. At least you won’t have to make the trip to the pathetic Music City Bowl. I can only imagine how your team would get geared up to play in TSU’s stadium.

   Those guys shit on the field and everything…..that is…while they are not fighting and using the f-bomb.
