Theology of Fruit

Oranges and peaches both taste good, but maybe not together. And especially not on New Year’s Eve. Peaches and oranges are fruits, both carefully designed by God and tended by humanity. But when Eve took one, we all got in big trouble. In walked sorrow.

I’m sad that my oranges are going to the peach.

You know it is going to be a bad week when. . .

We started out the week with the ESPN boneheads talking nicely about us for once. That's when I knew it was all going there in the handbasket. Then, long before the 11th hour, Florida was chosen for the Outback bowl. WHAT!?!? They've got FOUR LOSSES! So for you few naive out there who thought that bowls were about the football and not about the money, here's your definitive proof. The Florida bowls are a racket. Then tonight's big announcement: Tennessee's going to the Peach bowl against Clemson. I couldn't be more disappointed! Ah well, in any case, when we whoop them, it will at least give us something else to lord over those annoying Florida State fans (do remember, they WERE the first *ever* BCS championship losers!). I feel pretty ho-hum about the rest of the bowls. Bah humbug!
