We'll find out this afternoon.

[MacroGuru]

Alright, afternoon is over, get to work!!

[SirFozzie]

It finishes the game soon or it gets the hose again....

[Poli]

I don't want the hose again. Here it comes.

[Poli]

The coaches went up and down the sideline preaching both hands on the ball, even to the linemen.

"No fumbles!"

"No penalties!"

J.B. Brewster walked up and down the sideline confirming to everyone that we'll win this game.

Steven Everett fields the short popup kick at the 14 and returns the ball to the UT31. All we need to do at this point is just hold onto the ball. Eat up 6 minutes of the clock, and go home winners.

Brewster takes the first handoff off left guard for 3, and we start the clock milking.

That's why the next call surprised me.

We run a reverse for Everett and he gains 3 around the left sideline. 3rd and 4 on our own 37, and already we have a must convert 3rd down. Especially with the way America's Favorite Punter has performed.

I take the snap and fake to Brewster up the middle and then throw to Everett over the middle. He makes the catch, and gains 10!!

First down, Tennessee!

Brewster goes off right tackle for 3 more, and then off left guard for 7 more. Another first down! Ball on the LSU 43!

We come back with another suprise, it's a slant pass to Everett again. Complete for 9 yards. 2nd and 1, and we call a bootleg pass. I look to Everett deep, but that option is null and void. I head upfield and gain 5 before the LSU defense reacts. Another first and as I get up I look to the clock.

2:05. LSU calls a time out. Their first charged time out.

[Poli]

Ball on the LSU 29. First and 10. Hold on to the ball. Hold on to the ball. Don't fumble.

I repeat this over and over and nearly forget the play as I come from the sideline to the huddle.

We send Brewster off tackle, and he gains 3. Time out, LSU.

That figured.

We call the same play after the time out, and we're stuffed for no gain. LSU calls their final time out.

1:45 left on the clock.

[Poli]

We come back from the time out, and just want to center the ball for a FG attempt by Alston.

We send Brewster off left guard, and he gains 4. In comes the FG unit, and the ball is on the LSU 23.

It'll be a 40 yard attempt. Brewster and I stand side by side. Watching intently, arms around each other. We need this field goal.

It's almost so much I can't watch. But I do.

Peters snaps the ball back. Wheeler takes the snap, and spins the ball around.

Alston approaches, kicks.

The ball sails through the uprights. A celebration erupts on the sideline.


1:01 left in the game; Tennessee 24, LSU 14.

[Poli]

Alston makes the kickoff, and it goes a yard into the endzone. The Tiger returner brings it out, and gets to the 25 before being spilled by a reserve safety.

An incomplete pass, and the clock shows 45 seconds.

A QB scramble for no gain. 28 seconds.

Incomplete pass. 21 seconds.

A 17 yard reception by the TE.




3 seconds.






2.





1.





GAME OVER!!!!



Final. Tennessee 24, LSU 14.

See, told you so...

For the record, that's 2 for 2 for 19 yds passing on that last drive, plus a 5 yd run for a 1st down...

Now, bring the Bowl game on !

[MacroGuru]

Yeah! Bring It!!

LOL!

You know I'm giving you grief right!? Don't you? I mean you do.......don't you.

[tucker342]

Congrats AE!

[SirFozzie]

HOOOO-AH!!!

Vols for the title!

[AgPete]

I read the first two pages but I couldn't take it anymore, I had to skip ahead and find out what happened to Tennessee's version of Rudy! Glad to know he helped them pull out an SEC title! I wonder if he'd have any chance in the NFL after the TCY export.

[The Afoci]

Lucky games. We will all see the REAL AE soon!

I'll quite likely continue the dynasty into the pros as I'll probably get the latest and greatest FOF for Christmas.

Ardent will start his tryouts in January if it turns out I get it.

I got it. I love it. I wish I had bought it earlier.

I leave for Chicago this afternoon. Ardent may start his journey to the NFL tonight, but maybe tomorrow. I have to start thinking of story line.

[fantastic flying froggies]

Story line is easy - AE rides the pine!!!

Or about this one: AE carries a clipboard!

or better - AE gets splashed by the Gatorade as his team wins the SuperBowl while he watches from the sidelines!!!
