Memphis getting waxed.

Eh, the SMU is a snore fest, though some individuals hero is in attendance George Bush.

Tennessee continues to dominate Clemson in sports.

Serious question: when did we get a hockey team?

 

[UTProf]

I think most of us give a damn and would like to see the LVs back where they belong, but I think we all realize there are certain "roadblocks" within the fanbase....DW is in an unenviable position here in my opinion.

I think the fanbase making it difficult is all smoke. Our ADs/Admin have done the LVs the same way they did football for a decade and a half. We'll find out if DW is any better when he makes a hire. TBF, I don't think Holly was the wrong hire or even that Kellie was (though she had a lesser resume, I don't think anyone would've been ok with Fulmer making a money hire for the LVs with football still a wreck), the issue there is hanging on to them way past the point in which it was obvious they weren't the one. DW is the first real AD we've had in a long damn time, he will have the ability to make a big time hire if he chooses to - the question will be whether or not he chooses to but no one will stand in the way of him going after the best *if* that's what he wants to do.

Good for rob

Wrong. Golf. Even HOF’s lose way more than 70% of the time.

He was talking about batting average. Not sure losing a tournament in golf is a great analogy.

Clarification needed. Punchinello to the adult HW.

 

[drvenner]

Good for rob

I think we would be a better team if he were still here. We have very good assistants but Lanier was elite, IMO. Glad to see him doing well also.

Used to have a lot of fun going to games at like 11pm at the civic center in the late 80s. I don't recall that we were all that good back then but it was a load of fun.

 

[volsagain]

Never thought I'd see the day when the LVs were projected as 10 seed and no one gave a damn. SMH.

They look like there doing a walk through practice compared to how they looked when Pat was coaching. Watched parts of the game today look good for a couple minutes then like preschool.

 

[drvenner]

Well, well OSU beat Purdue 73-69

Was this the first game after they fired their coach?

Yes.

Was it at the ice chalet or coliseum? I went in the early to mid 80's at the ice chalet, I think. I do remember you could bring in alcohol.

 

[Orangeburst]

In the South, a hockey game becomes a water polo game by the 2nd period. A hybrid sport.

Sucks that chase burns left. Gonna be a top 3 pick no doubt. Spencer Strider 2.0

Why did Chase Burns leave at all?

After the Cherokees started up in like 1988 or so, UT started playing on their ice late at night. I think they sold alcohol there too but at that time of the evening we were all pretty much there already.

Edit: I should say, that's my recollection anyway, and my recollection is typically spectacularly bad.

water hockey?

 

[knoxvol52]

Why did Chase Burns leave at all?

Prepared to be a starter instead of a relief pitcher.

 

[Ace]

I have always thought that Lanier might be Barnes replacement one day

 

[Orangeburst]

water hockey?

I used to play hockey….air hockey.

 

[knoxvol52]

Lanier or Kim English..

 

[Orangeburst]

I used to play foosball..pretty good..used to be big.

 

[Orangeburst]

Why did Chase Burns leave at all?

He felt burned and wanted to chase another dream…what I heard.
