I enjoyed that recap...I'm not an expert on basketball in the least, so it could have been horrible...but it was a good read to me, and hopefully others...

Good read, good info. Unlike certain ass hats who just like to hear themselves talk. I like to hear a profesional opinion on different matters. I dont always agree with your opinions. But I'm not going to bust your chops when you express the ones I dont agree with either.

I always read the threads griff starts. Not always the blogs because I rarely agree and dont think they provide any info I cant get here with the nation. But the threads are always entertaining and thought provoking. Spamming or legitimate blog outlet? Griff or writer32? (im not sure which I would call you if I saw you in public). Anywho its always enlightening here on the nation.

Cool Good Morning

I think that's a good thing?
I would prefer if the focus was on the story -- this one is by far the most thorough of the summer, as I've been the only media at Rocky Top every game and in contact with Pearl every day.

The next time I'll have this tight of a handle on the team will be September, after I've watched fall individual workouts

I agree with the analysis on Brian Williams.

Why all the hate? I've been reading volnation for a couple of years now (though not every single thread, only the topics that interest me) and I don't recall any "spam" from Griff.

I rather enjoyed the blog and probably would never have seen it had he not posted it or if I did read it later it would already have been irrelevant.

Thanks for the post Griff.

I do agree with the writeup on Brian though. He should be out there dominating just on size, footwork, ..etc, but it just seems like he can't put it together.

Seems like a fair assessment to me.

I enjoyed the "Spam"!
Thanks Griff

It was a nice review for those of us who didn't get to see the RTL this year.

Thanks!

I actually enjoy reading the blogs and am glad that they are linked here. I don't go over to the KNS site for news, just Volnation. It is funny that they attackers come out in mass to shout, SPAM, etc. I'd say it would save them time by not even clicking on this thread, much less the link to his blog.

I liked the article, it was interesting, usually i don't. I don't agree w/ Hopson, he won't be a star. There's a difference between being aggressive and attacking the rim at the RTPL and w/ 20,000 screaming at you w/ 2:00 minutes in the ballgame at Kentucky w/ the scored tied at Rupp.

Agreed.

Griff - I like the fact a local media member openly posts here. I am sure there are other, to my knowledge you are the only the has made their identity known.

Keep posting. As long as the mods are fine with your links I don't mind. I like reading when you respond to a thread. Honestly I usually skim through your articles and then read the responses to your article.
