Signs of intelligence in GA??

It's a little bit blurry and obviously a small file, reminiscent of those grainy spy photos of Soviet fighter planes from the Cold War.

And this has the same potential impact, culturally speaking. This Tennessee-Orange dune buggy was spotted in Georgia and offers yet one more sign that people in and from Georgia might be developing some class. Of course, we wouldn't want to jump to conclusions about our Bulldog friends, even optimistic conclusions.

Yet the proof is there. BOVB correspondent Larry L. has so far sent us three photos of OVs he spotted in Georgia recently (we'll publish the third here later), indicating that there are signs of human intelligence in the Peach State.

Stay tuned to the BOVB for more on this developing story and stuff.

PS -- and btw, this has nothing to do with the Tennessee's trouncing of Georgia in basketball the other night. The BOVB staff does not consider hoops to be a relevant sport.

Georgia peach

Had to put this one up. A Dodge wrecker spotted by BOVB regular Larry L. on US 17 near Kingsland, Ga. Who says Georgians don't have taste?

The sound of music = ugh

Well, America's Team really screwed the pooch last night in Nashville, losing arguable the most boring and poorly officiated game in the history of college football. In fact, the friend I watched the game with said he watched my beard turn increasingly white during what seemed like a 10-hour nightmare.

To cheer myself up, I'm gonna soak in this sweet Orange VW van. The photo was provided by Tracy Jones, aka Tracy.org, aka, the editor of Skirt! Thanks Tracy, you've made the big time.

new fla coach

Congrats to the Gator nation on getting a new head coach, Will Muschamp from OUT (the Other UT). (Cool thing is, The Florida Times-Union actually broke the story.)

Of course, everyone's got something to say about it, though I think The Knoxville News-Sentinel's John Adams said it best tonight when he tweeted: "Tennessee now has a better head coach than Florida."

Even so, I hope the poorly Gators will accept this grotesque Gator truck (photo by photographer Bruce Lipsky) as an offering of good will from a humble Orange Nation, which knows what y'all are going through.

bowl trip

the Vols beat KY today. Yay.

I spotted this US Coast Guard Albatross float plane on display at the USS Alabama museum in Mobile. Yay.

one more game?

Well looks like Tee Martin will be back in Neyland Stadium on Saturday during the Vols season ender against Kentucky. Problem is, he's a position coach for the Wildcats. That's a bummer because Martin is the best QB the Vols have ever had. Way WAY better than Peyton Manning, who never beat the Gators and even lost to Memphis one time. Yuck. Unlike Manning, Martin took the Big Orange to the Promised Land.

Anyhoo, it being the end of the football season, it's time to celebrate with this Big Orange party truck spotted by BOVB correspondent Larry L. Nice.

Go Vols Beat Kentucky Woot!

Here's to 'really fast'

I can't believe how fast the season has flown past. Wowzers. Go Vols. Here's an OV that probably goes really fast, too.

Possibly my favorite

Donna Harden provided this gorgeous Orange VW Karmen Gia. First off, this is one of my favorite cars. My parents had a blue one when I was a kid and I loved it then, and I love them now. In spot-on UT Orange, it's more beautiful than ever. This may well be my favorite of all the pix ever posted on the BOVB. Great catch, Donna, thank you!

Doing swimmingly

Football game Saturday. Tennessee v. Georgia. Blah blah blah. But there's more to life than football. Like UT swimming! It's looking good — as is this sweet Orange pimp'n machine provided by Deirdre Conner! Woot. (WTG Conner, you made it to the blog!)

Here's to the Vols almost pulling one out against LSU. And here's to an cool photo reminding us to take it easy every once in a while and that OVs come in all shapes and sizes.
