Everyone across the Vol Nation has been griping, complaining, wringing their hands, and holding their head down this season due to Tennessee’s poor showing on the football field…

It’s hard to argue with their frustrations.

That said, the news coming out of Wall Street and Washington DC today, makes the Vols’ football woes seem a little bit more bearable.

As everyone media outlet in the world that covers the financial markets are reporting, thanks to 40% of the Democrats and over 66% of the Republicans in the House of Representatives voting down the Financial Bailout bill this morning, stock markets the world over are plummeting.  In fact, during the time it took me to write this 182-word story, the Dow Jones dropped an additional 172 points.

Heck, even Tennessee doesn’t go down that fast and that hard…

Anyway, this gloomy bit of news just goes to prove that watching the Tennessee Volunteers battle it out on the greensward of Shields Watkins Field—even when they are destined to lose, perhaps badly—isn’t really all that bad…
