Seemed unprepared. |

| Having Bernard King back at Tennessee games is almost cooler than our on-the-court success. It's right up there. | |

| They were both sitting behind the bench the whole time. That's where Allan Houston was too. I noticed him really early in the game over there and was wondering why they didn't announce him being there but they eventually got around to it. I really enjoyed the ceremony too. I think it's really cool seeing Ernie and Bernie together again. | |

| I wonder why they didn't put Ernie's banner next to Bernie's. I think they should be together. | |

| I was really hoping that Ernie's halftime speech would have us fired up for the second half. . . .but, then again, I'm sure the team wasn't listening. I have no idea what the crowd's excuse is.

He's actually pretty good at it.
That's about all he's pretty good at. I can't stand his takes on that morning show .... | |

He was speaking and it sounded like he was stumbling, but it was just the bad audio feed. | |

That's about all he's pretty good at. I can't stand his takes on that morning show .... | I'm pretty sure that it would only take about one game before everyone would be tired of listening to him talk about how much better the Lady Vols could do things. Or, how he could guard the center position.

But that won't stop people that have a nostalgic feeling for Ward from bashing Kesling. I miss the calls from Ward, but really, it doesn't enhance or take away from the game if Kesling is there, imo. The only people that can manage to make my skin crawl are Billy Packer and Bill Walton back when he was doing play-by-play... | |
