Tennessee vs Kentucky in Knoxville at Noon ....

No Vol baseball fan will ever forget what he did to help the Vols win the World Series!
This guy will have a good life in Knoxville.

Plus, he’s the consummate gentleman and represents UT so well. He will crush it in the business world no doubt. He’s a legend.

Just bites and pieces. Not that scene at all. That's gross.

It’s actually pretty funny if you don’t take it seriously

That’s how it should have always been from the inception of the marriage between school and sport. If you are in good academic standing and making progress towards a degree with your school then you should be afforded the opportunity to play.

Wrong




Junior guard Jaland Lowe and sophomore forward Jayden Quaintance are listed as out for Kentucky.

He isn’t saying anything that we already aren’t aware of. True Braves fans know Acuña was never going to play his entire career for us. That’s just not how they do business. Chipper was an exception to the rule because he took pay cuts. In this new world of sports, there are no loyalties so might as well trade him after the 2027 season. I could see him getting traded to the Red Sox or Yankees at some point but the Braves won’t deal him to the Dodgers if that is what you are thinking.

Never said I wanted Acuna as a Dodger. Never will he can go play for the Mets..

There are better odds of the Braves dealing with the Dodgers than the Mets

Well now you've really gone and done it. There's a well known malady that's tormented this program and fan base for a long, long time. It's the curse of the backups. You put us up against a backup pitcher, PG or QB....or even a WR playing QB, and it does not bode well for us.

Let it be known that what happens today against UK is not on my head. No....this is on you my friend. YOU invoked the evil spirits that torment us. In this matter, I am blameless.

Seeing LSU up there, I’m sure they will get some of our cheerleaders to transfer down there.

Predators beat the best team in the NHL 7-3. First home loss in regulation for the Avalanche and we’re nearly 50 games into the season…

There should be a luxury tax lottery for all the teams that stay below the tax threshold. Take the total luxury tax amongst all the teams overspending, put it into a pot and let the ping pong balls decide it. The only rules are you are ineligible for the lottery for 4 years after winning it and you must spend that lottery money over those 4 years while maintaining a payroll within $20M of the threshold set for those years. Otherwise you will receive a postseason ban and/or draft pick losses.
