Taking the Temperature in Tennessee

It's Tennessee week, or as they call it in Knoxville, "Arkansas week", and there's already plenty of chatter over at the UT blogs about the Razorbacks. Not surprisingly, the combination of McFadden's ri-dmac-culous (we're working on trademarking that term) game against South Carolina plus his Wildcatting of the Vols in Fayetteville last year has the Tennessee faithful all in a tizzy. You can read a sampling of their thoughts in the top item at this post at Rocky Top Talk.

Also, it seems that the infamous 1998 fumble game just won't go away for poor Clint Stoerner. The Third Saturday in Blogtober has a well-written yet extremely harsh (and entirely fictional, of course) take on what Stoerner has been up to since that terrible day. Don't worry, Clint, we've got your back.

Hey now!! I wrote that, and I DID NOT omit the Hogs’ win the next year. Stoerner mentions it in one of his fictional quotes down in the story.
But thanks for linking it. Stoerner made a pretty decent career for himself, so he’s a fair target. I’d never poke fun at somebody who led an unfortunate life after. It’s all in good fun. I was at that game, and I thought Ark. was dominating all day.
FWIW, we LOVE Clint Stoerner in Tennessee!! I hope he’s doing very well.

Fair enough! I deleted the part that references the 1999 game not being mentioned. We Arkansans are just a little sensitive about Clint Stoerner and that whole fumble thing, that’s all.
