Maybe the best ever

Yeah yeah, Tennessee lost to Georgia in basketball today but since when did SEC people start caring about basketball? The answer: only when their football teams started to suck. But I say that rather than become like UNC or Duke fans, who have no choice but to like hoops because their conferences inhale on the gridiron, let's rediscover other sports that, like football, are way realer. Like, for instance, baseball. College baseball rocks. Always has. And guess what, Vols fans: Tennessee opened its season with an awesome win.

Ok enough about that. How about this AWESOME OV?? This classic GMC SUV was spotted by my friend and fellow Tennessee grad Jeff Campbell somewheres in Texas.

And they say nothing good comes from Texas. Well, this here proves that wrong.

That very special first time

Weddings. The birth of a child. Promotions. Winning major awards. All are special moments in a person's life.

But there are a lucky few who know the most special feeling of all: Seeing your first picture posted on the BOVB.

No one knows that better right now than Lisa L., who spotted this awesome Orange vehicle in St. Augustine and had the presence of mind to snap a pic and forward it to the BOVB staff. Obviously, she is a person who shoots for the stars and this time she was right on target. Thanks, Lisa!

Orange Envy in Georgia?

Yes, more evidence that Georgians have some serious Orange envy. This here truck was spotted up in the Peach State by one of the BOVB's stalwart correspondents.

Hey, if my favorite team's uniforms looked like Georgia's do, I'd be subconsciously longing for glorious Volunteer Orange, too. Just sayin'.

Go Vols!

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.

Jeff

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.
