Random Thoughts - Halloween

Where I'm going as a Virginia Tech fan tonight.

SESB on Gridiron Breakdown
Saturday morning, I'll once again be joining the boys at Gridiron Breakdown on BlogTalk Radio. The show airs live from 10:30-12:00 EST, and you can catch me live somewhere around 11:45. We'll probably talk about the good Tennessee team some - and because they're good, those very Titans are popping up more and more on my local affiliates here in southwest Virginia, which means I'll get to see them take on the Packers this Sunday just six days after enjoying Monday Night Football. Life is good.

JP Prince out 3-5 weeks
The Vols' hybrid has a partially torn labrum in his right shoulder, meaning he'll miss the season opener and then some. This plus the increasingly mysterious academic situation surrounding freshman Daniel West means the Vols are paper thin at point guard, and Bobby Maze is going to be on the receiving end of 35 minute performances early on. Chemistry is always one of my biggest concerns with college basketball teams that shuffle in dynamic new talent so often, so the Vols will once again be working with it on the fly as the season opens, when the West situation resolves itself, and when Prince finally returns.
