The Trap rolls into Philadelphia this weekend for a 4 game in 3 day college hoops extravaganza. Ahead of my trip to the City Of Brotherly Love, here are six topics of interest.

I hear the bar maid ringing the bell. It is now last call for beer, alcohol, and recruits. History tells us that this is the time of year that Phil Fulmer generally shines. If one had to single out one reason for Fulmer’s continued employment at the University of Tennessee recruiting would surely be at the top of the list.

This edition of the VN Interview takes us to the City of Brotherly Love. Drexel Coach Bruiser Flint, now in his seventh season with the Dragons, recently recorded his 200th career victory. Thanks to Coach Flint for his participation and to Mike Tuberosa for his invaluable help in coordinating the interview. Hope you enjoy.

The Trap makes a stop in South Florida this week to take a look at Roy Williams’ crew, before returning to Knoxville to catch the Tennessee home juggernaut. Here are six topics rattling around my cranium:

As Hollywood and sports continue to melt together into one big juicy drama I would like to salute Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson for their ill timed vacation. Out of the kindness of their hearts they decided to take Jason Whitten with them to Mexico…. I don’t know what that is all about.

During a recent conversation with NFL Draft analyst Mike Detillier, I learned more about this year’s crop of University of Tennessee draft eligible players. It’s no secret that this class will not be Tennessee’s most prolific. In fact, there will likely be no first round players in this group, and there may not be a second rounder either.

This edition of the VN Interview takes us to the Big East. While at Manhattan College, Bobby Gonzalez burst onto the college hoops scene by leading his team to a 2004 NCAA Tournament win over Florida.

The Trap hits Knoxville for two huge showdowns for the Vols. With that in mind, I figured I’d share 6 of my fondest Tennessee home game basketball moments.

For the last few weeks the Volnation has held its collective breath awaiting the decision of Phillip Fulmer. To the dismay of some and to the delight of others it wasn’t a retirement choice, rather it was the hire of nearly the entire offensive staff that held Vol fans hostage over the course of that time.
