The first UT teams I followed featured Doug Hecker, Mike Basse, and Chris Freeman.

Are you sure? I could've sworn they were the 4. But yeah, we were definitely the underdog without ZZ. We'd have been a 7 or 8 seed if we'd had to play the whole season without him.

"Oh Eddie....if I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now."

They're called Me-bounds. Angel Reese and Jalen Carey are two of the best Mebounders of all-time.

Or listening on the radio, as I had to do most of the time from about 1991 until the advent of the ESPN app (CWS games and games I could attend being the only exceptions). Many love Mike Keith, but those of us who followed the baseball team back then have a special bond with him. I can't recall...

Duke was a higher seed when we beat them. And we beat them without Zeigler.

We know how this is going to end. See Nick Saban. He won a NC at LSU, chased the NFL dream in Miami, flopped, then went to Alabama and became the most successful college coach ever, winning 6 NCs. In the Vitello scenario/analogy, we're LSU, San Fransisco is the Dolphins, and Arkansas is Alabama.

You know, that study came about because Freddie Kruger robbed some banks in Pittsburgh after squirting lemon juice on his face, so he got invisibled. Anyway, that’s how you make me feel.

My point was, I’m not concerned with what the stats show. Shooting percentage is skewed by how quality a shot is. This team misses so many quality shots, it’s unbelievable. BUT they’re good at GETTING quality shots (the lobs to Felix help). If they just hit quality shots at a decent level, this...

Yes. He played Tight End for the football team at one time. I'll see myself out...

The thing that is so frustrating about this team is that, last offseason, during the roster build, we kept hearing that Barnes had shifted his philosophy. That he understood we need to sacrifice a little (not a ton) of defense to be better on offense. In other words, we were going to get guys...

Differing opinions are great. Especially when they're reasonable. But that's not the topic of discussion here.

Was happy to flip over from that nasty basketball game to watch baseball. This isn’t looking much better. Maybe I just need to take care of some chores instead of watching either.

Where did I blame the refs for our offense sucking? You wanna straw man, that’s on you.

This officiating is ****. Two phantom calls on Tennessee, but Duke Miles has 2 buckets following push offs.
