Orange Crush


Since the fall of 2004, the FP has celebrated the elimination of the hated UT Vols from contention for the national championship. This celebration has taken the form of an enthusiastic toast by all four FP members. The toast is made with Orange Crush(ed), which is purchased early in the season in the anticipation of the Vols' second loss. While the FP relishes every UT setback, the second Vol loss during the season virtually guarantees that UT will not play in the BCS Championship game.

Coach Rob is happy to report that the Orange Crush for the 2006 season has been purchased and is currently chilling in his refridgerator while waiting for the Vols to stumble a second time on the gridiron this season. The most likely dates for this defeat are currently Oct. 7 (at Georgia), Oct. 21 (Alabama) and Nov. 4 (LSU), but the FP would be perfectly happy to celebrate early if the Marshall Thundering Herd can pull the upset this weekend.

It ain't gonna happen, but a coach can dream.

Sweet. Hey, they can't seem to beat their state rivals in their last game (Vandy), so maybe their next loss will come at Memphis next weekend, if Marshall isn't able to take care of business.

I can tell by the picture that the Crush is chilled and ready to go.

Yep, the Crush is ready. Are the Vols? I bought the Crush yesterday evening, but I took the picture a few hours later. It was well chilled and asking when it would be served.

The answer is, "Soon. Very soon."
