How ‘bout them Tigers, right?
A dominating performance this past weekend, has left everyone foaming at the mouth for the Tigers’ return to Death Valley this Saturday.
While it may be too early to think about bowl season this year, there’s always one bowl I dread the Tigers going to.
The AT&T Cotton Bowl.
No, it’s not because I think it’s a terrible bowl — we’ve obviously shown we own Jerry’s World with our last two performances there — but it’s because of those three letters before the bowl name.

Unfortunately for AT&T, the FCC isn’t the only approval it needs now to take over the U.S. cellular market. Now it needs to defeat the United States Government.
The U.S. Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against the mobile juggernaut, claiming its acquirement of T-Mobile would violate antitrust law and “substantially lessen
