Alright folks, since I’m the first one up this morning, I guess we’ll kick things off so we have a place to rant, rave, and celebrate throughout the day.  For some fans, it’s going to be a victorious day, and for others, signing day will look more like a real-life horror film.  F...

Chris Low gave out some “Best of the SEC” awards in his column today, and here they are below: Best recruiter: Nick Saban, Alabama Best closer: Rodney Garner, Georgia Best facilities: LSU Best stadium: Tennessee (Neyland Stadium) Best game-day atmosphere: LSU Best chance to play as a fre...

Check back shortly before tip-off (9:00 Eastern), as I’ll be posting notes throughout the game below.  Instead of the way we’ve done it the last few times with the software, this one will be the old fashioned way.  You can comment just like you would on a normal post, but make sure you...

This is the second time I’ve posted about UTC this week ever, but I couldn’t tell you about Davidson coming to town and not follow up. After doing a little pre-game at my place (which is in walking distance of The Roundhouse), we headed over to the game.  I got a free shirt at the door,...

We’re primarily a Tennessee and Alabama site, and from time to time, we will emphasize other goings-on in the SEC and around the country that are relevant to the SEC.  Today, I wanted to write about something that isn’t all that relevant to anything to do with this site.  Well, I guess...

Before I get started on this, I want to apologize to the readers of 3SIB for being absent lately.  I know that I’ve been around to do a couple live blogs with Ghost and put up a scattered post here and there, but I’ve been noticeably absent since the Christmas holiday.  The end of foot...

James Cregg, newest UT staff member Tennessee just got its newest staff member, and the Oakland Raiders are none too happy about it.  Kiffin has hired James Cregg, assistant offensive line coach for the Raiders, although it is unclear what position Cregg will hold in Knoxville.  This further solid...

We here at 3SIB have been debating amongst ourselves the current state of the college football post-season.  How are we to determine a champion?  Is the BCS the best we can do?  Is President-elect Obama correct in his assessment that a playoff is in order?  Are both systems imperfect?  We do ou...

I hope they don't realize until it's too late that they hired the wrong former defensive coordinator ESPN reported on their ticker a bit ago that Auburn is going to announce Gene Chizik as the next head coach at Auburn.  I dismissed it as too early, though, because they also jumped the gun ...

Tennessee was in Philly today, playing last year’s A10 champions, the Temple Owls.  It wasn’t a pretty sight, and Tennessee let the game get away from them several times, including right from the beginning as Temple jumped out to an 8-0 lead.  Tennessee rallied back to within one to ma...
