I don't understand why people think a team's play for one game is going to be the same the next game. It's all about match ups. Just because Louisville is killing teams, doesn't mean they'll match up well with us. They are very talented, but are not the most talented team we've played this year. It should be a good one.

Teams will score points. The basketball will be dribbled. Whistles will be blown. Fouls will be called on players, and it could go either way.

I agree. Louisville destroyed Oklahoma. Tennessee has looked beatable in 2 tournament games in a row. Not a good sign. A lot of teams who didnt play well in the first round got eliminated in the 2nd round, i.e. Duke.

I dont think this is a good match-up for Tennessee. They are big and tall, and Tennessee struggles sometimes rebounding.

A Tennessee team has never been to the elite 8 before, so this should be an emotional game. There's a lot to play for.

With all the school records being broken this year, it's only fitting that we get to the elite 8. If we don't get there this year it may be a while until we have another chance.

I have a night of pints on the line for this game. Before the season started, I bet a Maryland fan that we'd go farther that the Sweet 16 this year -- and so this is the game that determines the bet. This guy can drink a ton of Guinness, but so can I. We're talking about a $100-$150 wager either way.

GO. BIG. ORANGE.

The loser has to pay for all the pints the winner can put down in a night of drinking. We're drunks, so it's probably going to be about 20 on a night when we deem Worthy Of Collecting On the Wager. This is our standard wager on relatively big-ticket items; it gets bad. The wife hates it.

All the pints the winner can take down...yep that can be pretty bad (when considering the pints you will likely put down). 20 pints on a night...that's awesome..I can (at my best) push 12 or so....before my wife reels me in.... :)

The wife is the critical factor. I have completely outsourced the "stop drinking and go to bed" part of my brain to her, so when she's not around (as she will not be on the trip in April when this wager will be paid off), it tends to get ugly. Twenty is a goodly number of Guinness pints for an evening, which is what the standard is, but you might have to adjust that downward depending on where we are. If we find ourselves in a nice beer bar with a bunch of high-alcohol IPAs on tap, then even a dozen might be a good number. Depends on how deadly the beer is.

"My friend, we are going out to get hammered tonight....and one of us is drinking for free. The other of us is just going to charge everything and drink enough that he doesn't give a crap aobut it." OLE!

That is why it so seriously important that we win the game on Thursday. Otherwise I'm screwed. My friend's a single guy who, once he gets drunk enough, just signs everything you set in front of him and never thinks about it again. I, on the other hand, am married to a PREGNANT WOMAN who just happens to also be a C.P.A. She will skewer me if I have to pay this wager off. Please please please please, Tennessee, please beat the pizza-eating Kentucky wannabes.

My wife is under normal circumstances the absolute coolest chick on the planet; it's taken fifteen years of patient, largely unremunerated toil, but I have finally honed her into a Guinness-pounding barfly who likes her whiskey straight up and can spout out the point spreads on most of the major college football games. Unfortunately she's a horror when she's pregnant; it's literally like having a different person living in the house.

I just keep my head down and try not to let her see what I'm drinking. (So as not to rub it in, of course.) Had a really nice dram of a 35-year old single malt after the win today, and it was like, "oh my, oh my, but don't you look over here to see what I'm having...."
