Tennessee got a back-alley, brass-knuckle butt kicking last Saturday against Kentucky.
I mean, UT took a Mike Tyson-esque left hook in the third quarter when Kentucky scored 10 unanswered points capped off by kicker Matt Ruffalo’s (The Hulk’s cousin...?) field goal that made Tennessee’s deficit 20 points going into the game’s final quarter.
Then, just for fun probably, Kentucky kicked the hapless, lifeless, hopeless Vols while they were down with a seven-play, 54-yard drive in which each and every one of those 54 yards came on the ground.
I don’t ever pretend to have any inside information, and I don’t know the details of what happened, but it seems like former DL coach Jimmy Brumbaugh fell on a very oddly-timed sword thanks — at least in part — to the Wildcats whoopin’.
