What's in a name? Plenty, when that name is 'Trump.' 'Toponymic narcissism' describes someone's obsession with naming things after themselves. Trump's name now seems to be everywhere.

We should all be appalled that a person entrusted with one of the most sensitive jobs in all of government seems to be treating his work as child’s play.

Live updates: Georgia climbs to No. 4, Oklahoma returns to the top 10 of the AP Top 25 AP Top 25 brought big changes to college football rankings ahead of Week 13. Follow for poll projections, game highlights, voter insight and live updates.

Tennessee football won but didn’t beat the spread. We moved only one spot in the AP.

Not beating the spread, and I say wearing ugly grey uniforms (and not our orange & white)…especially for homecoming, didn’t help us. ;)

Still, Go Vols!

While I hate to see him leave, I can’t blame him. Great opportunity for a great coach.

Outside watching several football games and a neighbor has a few kids (elementary or jr high school?) outside practicing their instruments.

I hear a trumpet, saxophone, maybe a clarinet. While it sounds as bad as one can imagine…it’s beautiful.

Reminds me of my younger days. Old times. Love it.
