On the Saturday last, the University of Tennessee played the ahmighty University of Alabama. Rock 'em sock 'em football. Story unfolds and makes a finish as the University of Tennessee actually beat the University of Alabama for the first time in a dang long time. You see...college football is bigger than religion in places like Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and even Texas. All other places in the United States of Religious Worship of Football are pretty much the same as college football fanatics in the American South BUT, those ancillary fans tend to avoid tearing down goalposts. Turns out that goalposts are fairly expensive. Anyway, the University of Tennessee was fined by the Southeastern Conference (an athletic association) that the Vols, (Volunteers or Vols are what the University of Tennessee athletes call themselves), belong to for the amount of $100,000.00 AND the cost of a new goalpost that rings up at about $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 and the University of Tennessee is pleading for "donations" to pay off the fine and get a new goalpost before the Vols next football game. I'm thinking that football without a goalpost would be maybe like soccer? So many pressing damn questions for your regular American people to ponder. Yup. Now for some Tuesday machine art and ain't about not no one or no thing gonna tear down our dang goalposts no matter who wins the next big game. Yup.

the goalpost that was torn down by fans of the Tennessee Vols was carted down a street and then unceremoniously tossed in the Tennessee River. A fitting end no doubt. 😳
