Posted 84 minutes ago
Sometimes fans don't respect titles or people in high places. One day, there was a fight at a Vol baseball game down the first base line, and a bunch of us in the near vicinity went hoping to break it up, or, more properly, hoping it broke up before we got there. We got there and fans on both sides ... [Link]

That desire was renewed a couple of ... [Link]
