On the radio this morning, the sports analysts were surprised that Hochevar went first in the draft. The Dodgers drafted him last year and he went and played independent ball instead. That left a cloud of concern over his signability. But, I guess his stuff is just too wicked to pass on.

Down here in Louisiana, Kelly became an instant hero after the amazing 2005 season he had for the VooDoo in New Orleans. The guy had 96 TD's last year and almost 4,700 yards. If you look at his career in the AFL, he's been pretty amazing. Career Completion %: 62.0 Total Passing...

I was in school and at the Washington State game that year. To be honest, that game was actually pretty fun to attend. We lucked out and got our student tickets on about the 3rd or 4th row on the 35-40 yard line there behind the visitor's bench. After the game was well out of hand - which...

This weekend was a real let down for baseball. The Vols dropped their series with LSU thanks to a pair of two-run homers in the seventh. IMHO this was a critical home series for the Vols. The Tigers and Vols were both sitting in their respective divisional cellars. This was a real chance for...

I think he played one year at Indiana.

That goofball Dyron Nix was in college when I was at TN. He was such a self-absorbed reject. I remember going to the bars and seeing him arrive - alone. Nobody talked to him - he was a posse of one. I had some friends on the basketball team at the time and they said that he thought he was...

That was some second half last night. 127 points scored in 20 minutes - that's 6.35 points per minute. Every 20 seconds somebody was scoring. Consider this - each team actually shot about 66%. Basically, these teams were running like an NBA all-star game. They were almost taking a...

You're right - that game will be critical for FL. Just think about it - their only four losses would be the result of two Eastern Division sweeps. That would be horrible. It's one thing to drop a game to two on the road during SEC play. It's really hard to avoid that. But, to...

As a CPA, I've been involved with numerous arena and stadium personnel dealing with this issue. The big concern is safety and litigation. As soon as a drunk fan gets into it with a player, the lawsuits start flying. It is just impossible for the arena security to handle a situation like...

I thought I heard something on Vol Calls about him being named for national player of the week. I wasn't listening very close. But, I thought I heard something. What's up with that?

I don't really agree with your theory here. One thing to remember about basketball teams is that they are far more susceptible to hot and cold streaks. The way a team is playing at the end of the season and how hot they are playing at the end of the year can help push a team into the sweet...

This week: 64 points 16 three's Both on the road in the SEC East. That is some statement.

I don't know - but I can easily imagine this TN team running the tables from here to the SEC tournament. I said they didn't have a chance against TX. I said that they would drop the game in Lexington. I doubted them against FL. This team has proven that they can outlast any team in...

It was amazing to me how much TN looked like the Rick Pitino Kentucky teams. The speed and energy. I remember the days of Ron Mercer when KY was all over the court and pressing teams into oblivion. That's what I saw today when I checked the replay on Yahoo. I watched the Jefferson Pilot...

Isn't a true freshman starting for the Vols tonight? Hopefully, the Blue Wave will smack into that Big Orange bulkhead and go flat again today and tomorrow.
