i find this extremely interesting
Tennessee Student Riots & Tear Gas? Whoa.
I'm a Yooper living in South Carolina, and I can tell you that it's pretty darn cold down here. I've actually broken out the jacket three times this year (first times in three years). But yeah, looking at the people that are from down here react to this weather and you'd think we were at the north pole. It's almost as funny as their reaction to snow.
I live in pretty much the center of NC and the past three days, because that is as far back as i can remember, every morning coming to work at 5:30 am the temp has been around 15 degrees. You guys up there may be more used to it but 2 straight weeks of sub freezing temps here is really rare.
they got down to Knoxville rather quick
When they use the term "riot", do they mean it's "a very humorous incident"? Like, "Haha, 'The Office' was a riot!!'" Because I'm seeing a lot of smiles and hearing a lot of laughter on that video.
I would love to be in the Knoxville newspaper's sports department right now.
6 pm they're twiddling their thumbs putting up agate and random golf scores from Korea. maybe some local kid swam a crick, who knows.
then the utter meltdown
"GET THE DAMN CRICK STORY OFF THE FRONT PAGE! I DONT GIVE A SHEEIT IF HE DID 3 LAPS WITH HIS DOG SCRUFFY OR NAWT. WE GOT US A KIFFIN RIOT!"
sigh.
i miss working for a newspaper
Everybody's drinking de-Kiff this morning in Knoxville.
De-Kiff?!?! Hopefully that wasn't supposed to be funny, or maybe it's an inside joke that I'm just not privy to.
I'm surprised they're so angry over losing a coach that was looking like a disastrous hire.


It's going back up to above average for most of the rest of the week...and we're about 7 inches under the snowfall of last year. January has been more "normal" though.
But beyond that, November was downright balmy.
