A peek at the life, times and thoughts of John during his two-year stint in Knoxville.

Haven't seen one of these in awhile have you? It's the obligatory sports post.

Bowl season (or "Bowlaroo" as I'm now calling it) has had some good games, but most of them I end up falling asleep on before they end. Oops. Now that the money bowls are upon us I need to do a better job of staying awake.

My favorite NFL team, the Cleveland Browns, finished off a surprisingly successful year with a 10-6 record. They missed the playoffs, though, thanks to another of my favorite teams (Tennessee Titans) stopping the Indianapolis Colts. I was really looking forward to the Browns being back in the playoffs, even though the San Diego Chargers are a brutal first-round matchup.

West Virginia University still is without a new hire for head coach. I suppose this means that they aren't taking the Marshall fans up on their offer to send Mark Snyder to Morgantown...

Happy New Year!
