Dougherty?s random Thoughts 12/19
2007-12-20 01:06:00 The winds of change, they are a blowin? at Tennessee. And, it?s not the change that many fans were hoping for following a blowout loss at Alabama that left Tennessee with four wins in seven games and in a player?s only meeting.

Dougherty?s Random Thoughts
2007-12-13 20:01:00 If you?re reading this column you probably agree with me and most educated college football fans that the S.E.C. is the best conference in college football.
