Atlanta Braves
The Bravos roller-coaster season ended with a meaningless thud as the Astros swept the weekend games. Worse, Chipper Jones failed to win the batting title with a 0-3 finale. I will take a look at the Braves past season and future later in the week.
UTC Mocs
Another weekend thud. The Mocs actually had a little bit of a buzz in Chattanooga after winning at Georgia Southern last weekend (though you would not have known it from the attendance on Saturday evening), but the same old sorry Mocs showed up to get spanked by The Citadel. Coach Rodney Allison took the blame for the loss, and Times-Free Press columnist Mark Wiedmer did not disagree, basically calling for Allison's firing. It is hard to argue that Allison deserves another season after a 15-34 tenure thus far, a home loss this season to D-II Carson-Newman and last Saturday's debacle.
Next game - at Arkansas (Appy State, anyone...oh, nevermind) 7:00 p.m.
Atlanta Falcons
Head Coach Bobby Petrino got his first NFL victory Sunday with a 26-16 win over the Houston Texans. The Texans were missing both starting wide receivers and starting RB Ahman Green, but you are not going to get any sympathy from the Falcons this year about missing players.
Next game - at Tennessee 1 p.m.
Tennessee Vols
Basketball Vol Duke Crews got caught with marijuana in his apartment, thus explaining his suspension from the basketball team. Apparently Crews was hanging out with Ricky Williams, Michael Vick, Major Wingate and Snoop Dogg, made so much noise that the campus police were called and then had his apartment searched with a warrant because of the odor of marijuana. Nice. Hey, Duke - the Vols have a chance to be a Final Four team this year!!! What are you doing?
Baseball breakdown later in the day.
