Pop in to see if there are any recruiting updates and have to look at this level of abomination? This is one of the reasons I have been on hiatus.

Really seems like we always get the short end, better overall record than Bama and own the Head to Head....but they leap frog us after going 1-1 the same week we go 1-1.

But a few folks in the Basketball forum have been speculating since we lost to Ole Miss "they'll put us in Duke's bracket regardless" and sure starting to seem that way. But the buzz seems to be they'll try to put us in a geographical bracket that makes the most sense, so East or South are most likely whether we're the #5 overall seed or not.

Unless we win the SECT and get the 4th 1 seed I think we're stuck in Duke's bracket. The biggest confusing part is why Michigan State wasn't put in the Midwest and Bama in the South.

Well, my Pawpaw passed away this morning.

Former Vol from 1963-65

Was part of that first group to run through the T and helped Dickey to get the Vols back to relevance.

He was a colorful character and hilarious. I'll always cherish his football stories. They meant a lot to me as a kid and still do. Hanging out with him and the Swamp Rat lol.

RIP and Go Vols!

Conference affiliations is also a factor, they’re going to avoid putting a 1 and 2 seed from the same conference together and that throws the locations off. (And now the beginning locations aren’t actually tied to region not sure how much importance they place on location compared to the other things they try to avoid)

Yeah also true... 2 1 seed SEC teams and neither has a 2 seed SEC team. Still we drew the harder 1 seed with them sliding Bama ahead of us on the 2 seed line. Big surprise there.

So very sorry for your loss.


It's rough man. Have lost both of mine now as well as my father and father-in-law. Hurts my heart thinking my son (11) won't have any of those stories from Papaw to cherish.
