Good to see Delta got you there, and back, safely...This would be a really interesting thread if the AD had any real responsibility for basketball scheduling. Alas, he doesn't. The coach puts together the nonconference portion and the SEC office handles the league slate. Thus, this is simply another substanceless, uniformed trainwreck.
I didn't read the entire entry but I could've sworn I heard some Pouges music in the movie The Departed. I usually hang with some people from Ireland when I go to Naples in late summer/early fall each year. They are pushing 60 I'd guess but they love that music.
What AD in their right mind would schedule back to back road games with Memphis then Vanderbilt...he should be fired!! Memphis will now be #1 in the AP poll...we will probably drop to 10th because the Press hates us...Duke, on the other hand can lose every other game and stays in the Top 5 consistently...We should have worn the Black Uni's against VANDY!! :rock:
right fire pearl now:birgits_giggle::birgits_giggle::salute:I think it was Pearl's idea to schedule Memphis for last Saturday...it was the only weekend that would secure college gameday for the Vols/Tigers. And even though he knew it would create a difficult stretch, he thought the national exposure was just too good to pass up.
He was right.
Please put the noose around your neck, and then kick the chair leg.
Definitely tough, but we had to play poorly to lose....and we did.
Agree:thumbsup:That's the thing...Vandy wasn't impressive.
They're getting tons of love today, but they weren't very good. I don't want to take away from what they accomplished...that's a very good win and it's great for their ncaa tournament resume.
But, other than Foster, they looked about as impressive as Georgia, LSU, and South Carolina. It took a great atmosphere and a miserable performance from Tennessee in order for Vandy to get that win.
I'm sure they're happy to have it (just as I was happy that UT got out of Baton Rouge victorious), but it was not all that impressive.
Actually the date was set by Memphis I believe since they were the home team. No way UT wants to play at Memphis in the middle of the SEC schedule. Memphis puts the game in there so they get a top opponent in the middle of their putrid conference schedule.
I have many reasons to like Duke and Coach K. Regardless, your avatar pains me on our Vol Board. That's no dig on Duke, it's a dig on your choice.good god. you lose to vandy and still find away to take a dig at Duke.
UT will not drop out of the top 5. And they will win the SEC tourny.
