Baker man: Magic over for Tennessee football team?

CRESTVIEW — Rivalries among football teams can be friendly and they can be fierce.

The latter seems to be true following Alabama’s match-up with Tennessee; at least, that is how Bill Everett, of Baker, sees it.

Alabama (49-10) was victorious in the Oct. 15 game played at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville. That suited Everett just fine.

“It’s very obvious that ‘Tennessee pixie dust’ has completely left the Tennessee football team and the state of Tennessee,” Everett said. “It also seems that the physical therapy on the player was not successful.”

Everett, who flanked a toy skeleton in a recently staged photo at a physical therapy center, wore an Alabama jersey to reflect his support for the Crimson Tide. The skeleton featured a Tennessee Volunteers T-shirt.

“We want to thank Lori Holmes and Travis Williams at the Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy Center here in Crestview who helped in staging this event,” Everett said.

The fun’s not over; the Volunteers have a chance to redeem themselves Oct. 29 when they face the South Carolina Gamecocks 6:15 p.m. at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia.
