Not yet. Let me sleep on it. I’m still in a very fragile state from having the title stripped from my hands, the rug pulled right out from underneath me, totally blind sided, Bait and switched, etc. etc.etc. It’s just a very tough time for me. I’m sure you understand…..

Tim Corbin, Brandon Miller, Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, Nate Oats, and Lane Kiffin are good choices.

I was initially just in denial stage. Likely was suffering from dramatic shock syndrome. It’s similar to battered Vol syndrome. Now that the true magnitude has sunk in, I’m as shook as a MS St baseball fan. Anyone know a good therapist? preferably one that will direct bill @mad4vols?

I was in school in New Orleans for the 1993 Final Four- North Carolina, Michigan, Kentucky and Kansas. Michigan and UNC in the finals. Remember, it was in the Super Dome, so lots of seats to begin with. Then Kentucky and Kansas lost, so their fans left. I had classmates get in for anywhere from free to $5 for the national championship game.

I'll also mention that TBA was built with a seating capacity to meet the standards for hosting the Men's Final Four at the time of construction. And a reason for construction was to help keep Don DeVoe.

IMO, I don't think I'd enjoy the Final Four in the football stadiums they're now played in. Too far away from the court.

On March 27 in Baseball History...​
  • 1902 - The nickname Cubs is coined by the Chicago Daily News, when an unbylined column notes that, Frank Selee will devote his strongest efforts on the team work of the new Cubs this year. In time, the Cubs will replace the Colts as the nickname for Chicago's N.L. club.

  • 1948 - Hank Greenberg, who tormented the Indians for most of his career as a member of the Tigers, is hired as Cleveland's farm club director by Bill Veeck.

  • 1986 - Major league baseball's Rules Committee votes to change the designated hitter rule for the World Series, allowing a DH to be used in all games played in the A.L. club's home park. Since 1976, the DH had been used in all games in alternating years.

  • 1987 - In what will turn out to be an extremely lopsided trade, the Mets send catcher Ed Hearnand minor leaguers Rick Anderson and Mauro Gozzo to the Royals in exchange for David Cone and minor leaguer Chris Jelic. Cone will blossom into one of the N.L.'s better starters, posting a 20-3 record for the Mets in 1988.

Kavares Tears update: Then, KT (Tears) just been doing rehab in the training room instead of taking extra swings or running around out there. Just getting that thing where he can come back as quick as possible. I think it’ll be sooner than later, but that’s also one of those things where we don’t want to go two steps forward, one step back.” -Tony V.
