I Challenge You To Challenge Me (to Barrack Harder Than We)

From the 'way back machine,' here's the NonPros and Ben Wilson performing @ The Front Page in Clarksville. I'm pretty sure this was September 15th, 2007.



Some boring history on the show: The Deli pays very (VERY) little, and we played specifically to play with Ben...so we took advantage of as much free booze as we could. The Deli gives you absolutely no incentive to want to perform there, besides their stigma of being "the only place in town to perform." From the sound of things this was the final song of the evening, which would mean it's about 1:30 a.m. I'll comb through the tape to see if there's a better performance from that night (I remember it being a pretty well received show by those in attendance).

Anyway...I Challenge You will be a featured track on the upcoming NonPros CD. So, here's a half-assed preview.

JOIN US SATURDAY!

Bittersweet Symphnoy: All Hail the Great Pumpkin.

A sports related blog on a music website? Well, I'm an alumnus of "The Real UT" the University of Tennessee so I'm allowed to break non-existent rules. Plus, it might bring in some stray google hits. So, welcome Interwebbers.

I'll admit that I wanted Coach Fulmer out as soon as he came in. For anyone who forgot (or didn't know), he kind of kicked Johnny Majors' gin-soaked carcass out the door back in 1992. But...as a fellow opportunist, I could never fully fault him for that. What killed me was the total domination that Spurrier had over him...year after year...team after team...it was enough to make you sad.


He brought me 2 SEC Championship (97 & 98) and a National Championship (1998) while I attended school there. How many people can say they won a National Championship while they were in school? Well...tens of thousands. But I did it @ Tennessee. That's totally unheard of. My school is so looked down on that I even ended a sentence with a preposition because I felt like it. We can't be tamed.

My heart goes out to him, because he does "bleed orange." For 35 seasons he's either played or coached at that school. He was a hell of a recruiter (for a time), but was a bit cowardly when it came to his calls. I'll miss him, even though I always said I wouldn't. Seventeen years is too long to stay in a position. Period. Just ask Joe Pa and Bobby Bowden (Penn State's current record not-withstanding).

So, while I'm looking forward to a brand new chapter in UT football, I'm worried that I'm not going to like our latest scapegoat. If we could get a decent quarterback and a running back with some sticky gloves...we'd at least beat Auburn, UCLA, or South Carolina.

When it's time to change, then it's time to change:

Dude...can you believe that Maureen McCormick became a coke whore? AND wrote a book about it? Well...I can...



Seriously...Brunie's on Saturday. Starts early, 8:30.

Friendly reminder (and intro?)

Wanted to get the word out there one last time that we'll be at Brunie's on Saturday, November 8. The show starts at 8:30PM, so come party with us, knock back some brews and maybe get something to eat.

We'll be playing rock, alternative, and something you can move to...
