We got screwed; but, they should have never even been in that game to begin with. People shout at the heavens about Georgia State loss being the worst ever...that loss is not even in the same vicinity as the Memphis loss. Worst loss in my lifetime.

All things considered it was the worst loss in UT history. The other candidates for UTWLE were all bad teams being bad teams. That team was absolutely loaded.

That's one park outside the East Coast I actually have been to (and the Redwoods). Got lucky enough to have my wife's friend get married in Yosemite, so it was a great excuse to go. Unfortunately we didn't see it from the bottom (at least on foot) though I do remember driving around the lower area and we definitely saw it from afar. The wildest thing to me was seeing all the dots of folks on el cap - climbers in their overnight tents. Absolutely wild and the area is gorgeous. The drive in was pretty wild though, we were going through very late...odd route...no guardrails on the way up these windy cliffs...never driven so slowly in my life as I did that night.

Lol...we left Calaveras Big Trees State Park which is 100ish miles north of Yosemite around sunset the day we got out there, and took a little winding mountain road called The Golden Chain hwy all the way from Sonora to Mariposa to our hotel...that was a white knuckle ride for sure in the dark.

Even 30 ft is amazing.

I'm convinced of what one of those films briefly mentioned (I think about Honnold), which is that people capable of breaching that mental barrier may be either missing a part of the normal brain activity or have abnormal brain chemistry. Something in their physical brain is allowing them to not fear what the other 99.999999% do. And that's not meant to be disrespect to them at all, as they still put have to have a crazy amount of work ethic, strength, bravery, etc. It just begins to explain how any human can actually brave such absurdities. The Alpinist guy was literally going up a wall many times larger than the El Cap routes...with ice and all. It was just so insane.

Yes, they did an MRI on Honnold in Free Solo showing how his brain interprets fear. It basically takes a lot for him to get really scared. Way more than the normal person. That’s what I love about climbing. I’m scared of heights, but climbing taught me how to tune into my fear and overcome it. Climbing is way more mental than actual strength. It kinda becomes addictive because you’re pushing yourself to go further mentally and physically. Climbing and mountaineering is just a different ballgame. The professional men and women are straight up badasses. Climbing days was definitely the strongest I ever was, too. Especially my core. It’s full body. I’d recommend anyone on this board to try it out. It’s super fun. And can get you strong fast.

Also, I think you’re in Asheville, right? Have you hiked to the base of Looking Glass or on top to the North or South Face? The views are amazing.

Can't watch rn - but between the exhibition stats and this 1st half it seems our defense isn't quite excelling like last year.

How does it seem from the actual game? Are they just shooting really well or are we playing poor defense?

Just curious, thanks.

Definitely need to work on Defense. Chandler and Powell are going to be good.

Little of both. UTM has been knocking down shots especially early but the Vols aren’t playing good defense. This defense won’t be the best all year tho, gonna have a lot of high scoring games this season. Barnes has changed the philosophy of this team. We’ve already shot the 3 21 times
