Vols Are Pricks II: An Update

Glenn Gilbeau has an interesting article about the upcoming Tennessee-LSU game this weekend. Evangel Christian Academy here in Shreveport has sent players to both schools and there is apparently some animosity between the former teammates. It all stems from the game in Baton Rouge last year where UT came from way behind to ruin LSU's first home game since Katrina. After UT won in overtime, Jonathan Wade, in typical Vile fashion, ran the UT flag around the stadium before planting it in the Tiger Eye at midfield. Former Wade teammate, Chase Pittman thought that action "disrespectful." As if you could expect otherwise from the orange hoards.

As an aside, is there anything more stupid or classless than these midfield celebrations involving flags? Your not at war, jackass, and this isn't Iwo Jima. Leave the flags to the cheerleaders. I know you're jacked up after a big win, but there are other ways to celebrate. While I'm at it, I still don't understand the stomping of the midfield logo. I've been to games where both the home team and the visitors jump up and down at midfield before the game. I guess the home team was jumping respectfully, but the visitors had some ill will? That distinction misses me. Jumping up and down is a reasonable display of joy. Planting a flag at midfield of an opponent's stadium is classless. Fight on Michigan State.
