Govolsxtra - the place for University of Tennessee Sports Fans

A great UT FAN thinking on his feet (quoted joke from my brother Chris) you can share with all your FL friends....

-One foggy night, a Tennessee fan and a Florida fan were driving the opposite directions on a road near Knoxville. While crossing a narrow bridge, they hit each other head-on, mangling both cars.
The Florida fan manages to climb out of his car and survey the damage. He looks at his twisted car and says, "Man, I'm lucky to be alive!"
Likewise, the Volunteer fan gets out of his car uninjured, he too feeling fortunate to have survived.
The Florida fan walks over to the Volunteer fan and says, "Hey, man, I think this is a sign that we should put away our petty differences and live as friends instead of being rivals."
The Volunteer fan thinks for a moment and says, "You know, you're absolutely right! We should be friends. In fact, I'm going to see if something else survived the wreck."
The Volunteer fan then pops open his trunk and removes a full, undamaged bottle of Jack Daniel's. He says to the Gator fan, "I think this is another sign - we should toast to our newfound friendship." The Gator fan agrees and grabs the bottle. After sucking down half of the bottle, the Gator fan hands it back to the Volunteer fan and says, "Your turn!"
The Volunteer fan calmly twists the cap back on the bottle, throws the rest of the bottle over the bridge into the river and says, "Nah, I think I'll just wait for the cops to show up."

Let me explain, I work with someone who buys the Knoxville paper every day to see the sports page, This person has also made the comment that if he had a gun he would like to blow the back windshield out of the car in front of us who simply had a "gator" sticker on the window.The same person has made similar comments about wishing that the opposing teams quarterback would get his leg broke, etc..I live in east Tennessee and I love my beautiful state and used to attend UT games. But something changed. There is an AM talk radio show in this area of which I have been somewhat cornered into having the displeasure of hearing several times over the past several years on my ride home from work. I am saddened by the fact that there are so many " no-lifes" in this day and age who talk about SPORTS like it is IMPORTANT. It's a GAME, face the reality! Also, those guys in their "super-hero" orange tighties are human just like you, except you probably do not have as many marks on your criminal record as they do!Those of you ( And you are many!!) who are so insecure that you put your identity in sports need to get a life. If you people would put the time, energy and money into a worth while cause ( like raising your kids properly...building your broken marriage...visiting your neighbor across the street that you have never met...doing SOMETHING to save this nation from going to hell! ) that you put into "UT sports" well, This world would'nt be in the shape its in. College is great; I've been to two, There's nothing wrong with playing games and having fun, just please do me a favor and remember it's only a GAME! Life has other more important priorities. God have mercy on America!

I have a life, I have aIso gone to college and I have my masters degree, and I own a very, very, profitable business, I go to church when the doors are open, and I lead a full life every day. This joke was not supposed to be taken out of context. This was a joke. It seems someone else needs to get a life, get a clue, and have a little humor shine through in their life. Sorry you took it to heart, I apologize.................BIG ORANGE FAN. ( I hope that you aren't offended by the apology!)
