What can you say about this season? Helluva ride. In the end, a more experienced MSU team showed: they recognized our confusion and got two free throws when it mattered. The best we could do was a flailing half-court airball by the worst shooter on the team not named Williams or Pearl.
But damn... Elite Eight? Are you freaking kidding me? I am going to miss Wheezy, Maze, and yes even JP more than I ever thought I would. Good luck to those guys.
But on to next year. I am pumped about the freshmen coming in and who we have coming back. I have two main thoughts looking ahead:
Wow, didn't intend for this to be so long, but it's an emotional day. Time for some spring football!

But on to next year. I am pumped about the freshmen coming in and who we have coming back. I have two main thoughts looking ahead:
- Brian Williams: he came on like a beast at the end of this year. I am excited to see how much he progresses; hopefully he doesn't need Chism pushing him. He might even emerge as a team leader... who'da thunkit?
- Scotty Hopson: man, I hope people give him some support for a change. He hasn't lived up to the one-and-done expectations that some people set for THEMSELVES, and so he's gotten abuse in the form of some of the lamest arguments I've ever heard. He doesn't try? He mopes? I tell you this: only one person knows if he's giving all he's got, and it's not us. Pearl sees how hard he works more than anyone, and Pearl wants him on the floor. You can't measure effort by how much somebody sweats (LAME) or how their shoulders slump (epic LAME). The kid has talent; he was the second leading scorer on our team, behind a senior (apparently without even trying). His game has improved from year one to year two (jumpshot is way better). Not bad for a true sophomore. If he improves again this year, he can be all SEC. These people posting that he should quit and never come back make me want to vomit. How about encouraging him? He needs to work on his ball handling and aggressiveness (hard to be aggressive when you don't trust your handle). Be Vol fans, not jerk-asses.
