But that is only because "over there" you pronounce "route" (as in "Route
66") the wrong way. If you pronounced it (as we do "over here") to rhyme
with "root" it would be a whole lot more better.
But on the other hand, if AndrewF were here, I think he would be very
entertained by the thought of a headline:
"Vols root Bears in lopsided win"
Of all the things not to do to a bear, rooting it must be pretty near top of
the list - according to most Australians I have encountered ;-)

If so, it won't be from any of my doing. I noticed that with some minor
horror, but the truck's loaded up and we're about 30 minutes from setting
out for Knoxville and the second football game of the season. Going to put
some serious whoop ass on the Air Force Academy tomorrow night.
I'm still trying to get over the shock of seeing a well-known sports
publication's internet site proclaim in a headline about last week's game
that "Vols Route Bears in Lopsided Win."
