THANKS FOR ALL THOSE “HOW ‘BOUT THEM VOLS” EMAILS. Yeah, yesterday sucked. But a bigger blow is that my friend Doug Weinstein — whose blood has always run deep orange — didn’t even bother to go to the game. He’s mad about high ticket prices, fan exploitation, and commercialization, and says he’s given up on Tennessee football because it’s like a pro team now, and he doesn’t care much about pro teams. This is more or less like the Pope becoming an agnostic.

UPDATE: This is how bad it’s gotten . . . .
