Randy Smith: The New SoCon: It Is What It Is

About 10 years ago I first heard the phrase, “It is what it is.” I believe it was former Tennessee quarterback Casey Clausen who used it a lot, especially when talking about a Volunteer loss.

It is just my opinion but there seems to be a driving force of setting the event up for failure and for what?    The event survived a ... (click for more)
