Tennessee Follows Up Dismal Loss To Georgia State With Excruciating Loss To BYU
That players-only meeting didn’t work, and it seems the problem wasn’t the receiver who enjoyed a meme at his own team’s expense.

The Greatest Try Ever Is What I Watch When Things Get To Be Too Much
I can’t remember when, exactly, I first saw this clip from a rugby match played on January 27, 1973 between the Barbarians and New Zealand. Which is strange because I do remember the feeling quite distinctly, goosebumps rising as I watched a sport—rugby union—I only half-understood. ...
