iTunes 7.0 Blows!
If any of ya'll have iPods, whatever you do, don't upgrade to the new iTunes 7.0 software. It's got dozens of bugs including freezing every freakin' two seconds...like mine. Apple needs to get their shit together and issue a patch for this quick. Here's more:

iTunes 7 and iPod 1.2 update confound users by ZDNet's Jason D. O'Grady -- When Steve Jobs announced iTunes 7 I couldn't reload the download page fast enough. I was anxious to try out the first whole number upgrade to Apple's venerable jukebox application in almost a year. In the 10 or so days that I've been using the new iTunes I've had little or no problems with it. Unfortunately others haven't been so lucky.

Early Winter Dusting?

Let me rephrase that...barfing might be a better word. Are you kidding me? 11 inches at PHQ?

Couldn't have asked for a better snowfall last year. Hell, it broke numerous records allowing Vail to stay open an additional week. But wouldn't you know that the first winter we move away may prove to be the most brutal yet.

Ahhh, Memories

Vail's first dusting of the season.
Ski Swap's in a month or so.

#15 Tennessee 20, #5 Florida 21
Ainge had flashbacks of last year in what I would consider a small bump in the road to the SEC Title.


Other notable scores:
#3 USC 28, #23 Nebraska 10
#2 Auburn 7, #10 LSU 3
Ole Miss 14, Kentucky 31
#6 Michigan 47, #12 Notre Dame 21
Princeton 14, Lehigh 10

#13 Tennessee 31, Air Force 30

In a spectacular game this past Saturday evening, one can't help but give credit to Air Force for an incredible performance and be thankful that UT came away with the win. Neyland hasn't seen crowds this amped up or noise levels this high since '99 or '00. The air in Knoxville is electric heading into the weekend's game against #7 Florida. While UT's offense is running on all cylinders, the defense will certainly need to man up after losing starters "Inky" Johnson (cornerback) and Justin Harrell (tackle). Since having the piss smacked out of him by Cutcliffe, Erik Ainge is looking to be the quarterback everyone was expecting him to be and took SEC Player of the Week.

#23 UT 35, #9 CAL 18

While many may have expected Tennessee to beat Cal in their season opener, very few expected them to do so in such convincing fashion. During the 3rd quarter, Tennessee quickly blew the game wide open jumping to a 35-3 lead before putting in their second team squads in the fourth. UT held the Golden Bears to only 64 yards rushing for the game. Erik Ainge had this to say, "This game tonight wasn't just Tennessee versus California. It was for the South versus the West Coast, the SEC versus the Pac-10."
