“The last few minutes of last week’s Tennessee vs Oklahoma game should have been a relaxed, celebratory time for a Vol fan like me. Sure, Oklahoma had the ball, but Tennessee was up by 16 points (25-9), and it would have taken a stunning series of subsequent events all to go Oklahoma’s way for them to have any shot at a victory that day. … However, that still didn’t stop me from getting a little nervous after Oklahoma, benefiting from their recent switch to a running quarterback, scored quickly and then lined up for a two-point try. … [I]f you aren’t a Tennessee fan, you don’t understand it. … [We] even have a name for our paranoia: Battered Vol Syndrome, or BVS. … My experience during the Tennessee-Oklahoma game got me thinking about another possible diagnosis that many of us across the conservative political spectrum doubtless suffer from.” (09/30/24)
