MAZE AND MYLES … AND GHOST’S ALL SMILES Before I get into this, I want to congratulate Alabama and its fans (everybody but Phocion, that is) for another banner Signing Day. Wow, what a haul. I hope the Vols can get back to competing with you guys before long. Nick Saban has certainly set...

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...

If you’re a UT fan, we want to know who you think we get in the comments… Second place sucks. If you’re second place in a ballgame, you freakin’ lost. If you’re second place at the end of the year, that means you likely won your bowl game and think you’re better t...

I’d heard the legends, but I wanted to see it for myself … or “feel” it, would probably be a better description. It was late summer 2005, and I was still a sports writer for the Chattanooga Times Free Press. By that time, I’d decided that I was going to make a family de...

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...

This blog entry isn’t going to receive any love. Not from Tennessee fans. Not from Alabama fans. I’ve come to terms with that, and acceptance is a very important step in the recovery process. And make no mistake — I’m going to need to “recover” from writing this b...

UPDATE: Volquest has reported it’s probable, and GoVols.com is also reporting that the Vols have completed their staff with the additions of brand new Mississippi State assistant Frank Wilson and North Dakota State defensive coordinator Willie Mack Garza. If this is true, it’s apparent t...

Hank and Hammy: What do these two men have in common? More than you may think. I hate the New York Yankees. That’s never going to change. Their free-wheeling, free-spending, anything-BUT-free frame of mind when it comes to spending money embodies everything that is wrong with baseball. To me, ...

“Keep this in perspective,” I told myself. “He’s a defensive line coach.” As I was painting my Papaw’s old flat-bottom boat this afternoon and VolstotheWall rushed in the paint-fumed room to tell me that the reports were wrong, that Lane and Monte Kiffin performed...

Editor’s note: Part of this blog is deeply personal, and really, I wrote it because I needed to get it off my chest. I selfishly wrote this one for me. But what I said, I needed to say. So, proceed with caution… and thank you. Not everybody hangs their dirty laundry on  the clothes line...
