-UT team busses stop, for some reason, in the midst of parking lots where LSU students have congregated. Students converge, start rocking busses, throwing beer bottles at them,  break windows, including 4 on the bus holding the AD. Good move.

-A student with no money on him is approached by LSU coed, asking for donations for Katrina victims. He has no money. "F*** you, Tennessee fan!" she says.

-Weird security on the sidelines. Getting reamed out for standing – "Son, you must either kneel or sit." Getting reamed out for sitting with the managers. "Son, your coach has not given you permission to be here." Um, yes. "Son…."

This from someone who’s been to games in every other SEC venue, I believe, and who is not, ahem, by any means a silent partner in defending his own teams. But he did, in the heat of after the moment, claim that this one was the worst in terms of fan reaction, even worse than Georgia, which, as I recall him telling me a few years ago after his first trip to Athens, was pretty bad.

Because, you know, the Vols are so polite.
