Vandy may be undefeated, but..

[MphsBlues]

..they have a tough road ahead for the next 4 games, as do the Vols. Vandy's next 4 include:
UMass - Tough Atlantic 10 opponent. Vandy will need to be on their game to get past them.
South Carolina - should be able to handle them.
at Kentucky - is bound to wake up at some point. My guess is that it will be for this game after losing the past couple of meetings with Vandy.
at Tennessee - Vandy will have to ramp up their efforts on defense to stand a chance.

Vandy is a strong team, but I don't see them making it through this stretch without a blemish (or two) on their record.

we'd better paste 'em in Knoxville, 'cause Memorial is a tough place to get a W.

Got to be the most awkward place to play in the world.

UK has actually lost 4 straight to Vandy, and I hope the 'Dores are still undefeated when we play them.

Thanks for the correction. I was thinking they had won at least the last 3 but only knew for sure they had won the last 2. If KY wakes up, my bet is they do it for this game. Personally, I think Vandy will have one loss before getting there. I think UMass is gonna be a very tough test for them.

If KY wakes up, they will come face-to-face with the reality of this season and attempt to go back to sleep.

Yeah my dad played a game there in college and said it screws with you head and if it gets loud you cant hear your coach and will have to try and turn completely around to get the signal from him behind the other goal.

In Pearl's first game there in 2006, we had an awful first half on offense before coming back to win in the second half. In the first half, it's like you said - you have to turn completely around to see the signal. But, in the second half, you're looking right at your coach.

ukvols, are you tuned in to the uk-louisville game?

yessir

Brilliant move by Billy G finally subbing his PG, Jasper, into the game for Coury, a walk-on. And, Crawford is on the bench. I'm not going to entertain complaints about UK's talent if the coach isn't going to use the talent he has.

Shan Foster making some noise for Vandy. but 21-10 UMass now.
doh, put wrong team on foster

Yeah, playing an out of shape guy with a bad wheel against Edgar Sosa will fix everything.

Right now, they have their 5 most talented players on the floor. 26-26. Meeks, Crawford, Bradley, Jasper, and Patterson.

I always felt UK fans were incredibly unfair to Tubby. However, the fact that those are the five most talented players on Kentucky's roster proves their complaints about his recruiting were warranted. That's a unit more befitting South Carolina or Auburn.
