Yeoman’s work. Got up by 17 and started acting like we didn’t know how to play the last 3 minutes. Could’ve been a blowout but let them score a few points to make it look closer. #2 Kansas on ropes against unranked Oklahoma. Take care of business Saturday and we will be at least #4. You know Purdoodoo will lose some games in that overrated conference. Alabama game is shaping up to be a potential top 3 matchup 😁

Vol basketballers kick the stinking high brow tea sippers from west end. That whole place is a stain on TN. If it weren't for their Children's Hospital, they could blow the whole damn place up. Bunch of snooty fruit loops who like the smell of their own arm pits too much. I detest every inch of ground over there.

I agree with Inky but two different situations. Both are great stories for varied reasons. I can appreciate the stories. As much as I don't like Auburn, I love Sonny D's story. And I could tell more. I loved watching Tebow even though I hate Florida.

Tebow is one of my favorite college football players ever and I despise FL. Sonny D is a great story as well. Stetson “The UnderDAWG“ Bennett is a great story and I’m looking forward to the movie. With that said, you are dead red wrong on Milton. He’s all Vol and isn’t going anywhere. He will mentor Nico and I expect both will play next year with Milton getting the majority of starts and snaps.

I think if he is going to play he stays. I just assumed if UT pays Nico the numbers I hear you have to start him. You can’t have a guy on the bench with NIL deal. That would be like signing a first rounder and sending him to rookie ball.

Chiefs drafted Mahomes 10th to sit a year behind Alex Smith. It’s the smart thing to do if you are in a position to do so. Learn the playbook front and back, learn the speed of the SEC, learn how to lead. Get some game reps in the blowouts and be prepared if there is an injury. Takeover in Year 2 and dominate the league.

On January 11 in Baseball History...​
  • 1915 - Colonel Jacob Ruppert and Colonel Tillinghast L�Hommedieu Huston purchase the New York Yankees for $460,000.

  • 1971 - Tigers pitcher John Hiller suffers a heart attack at age 27. He will miss the 1971 season before making a remarkable comeback.

  • 1977 - The Cubs trade outfielder Rick Monday and pitcher Mike Garman to the Dodgers for first baseman Bill Buckner, shortstop Ivan DeJesus, and Minor League pitcher Jeff Albert. The trade solidifies the Cubs infield for the next five years, but the Dodgers will win three pennants in that span.

  • 1983 - For the third time in eight years, George Steinbrenner hires Billy Martin as Yankee manager. Martin replaces Clyde King, who will move to the front office.

Whenever we have a bad free throw shooting performance I will be bringing this up. If an entire team can take and make that many then there are no excuses to be below 75%. That is the minimum expectation. Missed free throws are one of my biggest frustrations in basketball. I was 84% my senior year of high school and I was upset I didn’t shoot higher. Guys that shoot in the 50s and 60s drive me crazy. If someone is shooting that poorly from the line then they are just flat out lazy. Ok, rant over.

Heat go NBA-record 40-for-40 on FTs, win by 1

UT is playing the long game on Nico. He will start every game his sophomore year and likely get meaningful snaps next year. He needs to spend time in weight room and nutrition program. He will soak up Milton’s leadership and playbook and will be ready to roll his as a true Sophomore. Kid is special.
