Cranky is right. Friday is for frivolity and football. So on we go to this week’s Football Friday.

The news ain’t too good for us Vol fans, though, heading into Gaytorville. As a local sportstalk host told me over a bowl of gumbo earlier in the week, he thinks the Vols will lose by two touchdowns tomorrow in Gaynesville. I hope we can keep it that close. It will likely be in the neighborhood of Florida 38 Vols 28 or something to that effect.

Ainge and the Orange offense have played pretty well thus far, but the Tennessee defense has been woeful, despite the one good half played against Southern Miss last week. Unfortunately, I just don’t see us outscoring the Gaytors with a defense like ours. I’m not happy about it, either.

Elsewhere…

• Huskers 27 Trojans 24 – Vinnie’s boys will upset Rusty’s over-rated Trojans. Take it to the bank, Shackleford.
• Arkansas 27 Alabama 21 – Carl Sagan has turned the Tide around in light speed, but not enough to overcome the Hogs.
• Louisville 75 Kentucky 73 – These two basketball schools will continue to light up the scoreboard as neither team has an actual defense.
• Notre Dame 23 Michigan 17 – In a game that would ordinarily be big-time if both teams didn’t suck, Casey’s little brother will have his coming out party and the Irish will pull one out of their ass at Michigan’s expense. Just as it should be.

I’d love to predict that my beloved Titans will be knocking off the defending Super Bowl champs this weekend, but it just isn’t in the cards. The Titans’ defense isn’t ready, though I expect Chris Brown and Vince Young to keep us in the game for 3 quarters or so. Colts 34 Titans 24.

Elsewhere…

• Green Bay 24 Giants 20 – Poor Eli got a boo boo. Giants lose.
• Denver 19 Oakland 11 – This used to be one of my favorite games in the 80’s and 90’s when Elway used to beat the hell out of the Raiders twice a year.
• San Diego 31 New England 24 – The Pats won’t be able to cheat this week.
• Dallas 33 Miami 19 – When did Dallas get good? Who is this Romo guy? it’s all very confusing.

Happy Friday, all you faggots!
