COT

There’s a lot of buzz about this game tonight, when Tennessee takes on Oklahoma. As I was looking up some of the stories and quotes and info around tonight, there are a couple that really popped out at me.

Josh Huepel’s return to Oklahoma
– He won a national championship as a Heisman Trophy runner up QB for Oklahoma
– Later coached there as the OC and was then fired
– This reminds me of another story where someone was fired, but it had a different ending as well
– In Genesis 37 we see a gifted young man get fired — from his own family.
– Joseph’s brothers essentially fired him, throwing him into a pit and then eventually selling him.
– But then — how does the story come back around?
– “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”
– ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭50‬:‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Even though you may go through experiences of “being fired” or “cancelled” as the current language would say, it’s not the end of the story.

Eric Cain (covers the Vols for volsquest)
– You can only play the team in front of you.
– Referring to TN destroying Kent State but the fact that it was Kent State
