I've concluded that if there is a god who intervenes in the affairs of college football, he is on the side of the Tennessee Volunteers, and I am not one to question it. Perhaps Tennessee's close victories against Vanderbilt and Kentucky were blessings in disguise. Perhaps LSU will come back with a vengeance in the SEC Championship game and, had Tennessee fallen, we would have been the objects of their wrath. Sometimes the best gifts are unanswered prayers.
