UT should have a big crowd advantage in Lexington. Tickets are cheap too.

As long as KY fans don't show up just to boo us like they did against Auburn.

 

[BigSteve09]

The vice chair said he wasn't even allowed in the room for any discussions involving unc. I agree it seems like they shouldn't even be allowed on the committee. At least get people who get no financial compensation. Even if he's not in the room, he's the chair, and all those people know what he wants.

it's a classic case of conflict of interest, no matter what other "controls" they put in place. and as you have correctly identified, that's a massive eyeroll of a control anyway

Well the kid isn't from Japan so Dodgers are out.

I hope Godzilla lays waste to Chavez Ravine on opening day.

Sour grapes still over Dodgers defeating those Yanks in WS last year it seems.

Kentucky fans will show up to boo Louisville more than any other team in that pod.

Still 8-4 in favor of Yankees in World Series matchups.

I had hoped for another round this year. But with Cole going down, not likely imo.

My kid's officially a 15T.

Not sure what a 15T is, but giving it a like since it must be good enough for you to mention.

Just thinking of this...

With Tony V & baseball I expect us to win, with Rick Barnes and basketball I think we'll win, and Josh Heupel (right now) I'm back to hoping we'll win.

And that's in matchups with good teams...I expect us to beat any lesser teams in all 3 sports.

Dude...when you take away our ability to play tough physical defense...you mortally wound this team period.

It changes the way we do everything...for the worse.

When they let us play OUR defense...we win...when they take it away from us...we lose.

Like I said in the post you responded to, and I stick by it..when you take a teams greatest strength away, you take their ability to win.

For us..that is suffocating physical defense...everything we do is predicated on that.

There's a difference between a badly officiating game impacting us and "the fix is in"

I'm not disputing anything you're saying, but a proper fix is a completely lopsided whistle which against Florida I didn't really feel like we got. I think both teams got called for a lot of fouls and just as many that were missed. It benefited them because they're a lot deeper than us.

It was a good SECT for us though, the amount of foul calls should give us some stuff to work on so we can try and avoid having the same issue in the big tournament.

UT should have a big crowd advantage in Lexington. Tickets are cheap too.

The other seven teams in Lexington are:
Auburn
Alabama State/St Francis play-in winner
Louisville
Creighton
Wofford
UCLA
Utah State

We will have the second highest turnout next to Louisville. And they will be in the morning session while Vols are in evening one.

And he had 100k in compensation.

Jordan Beck expected to be in Opening Day lineup for Rockies this season.

 

[knoxvol52]

Ben Joyce makes Angels Opening Day roster and looks like Moore will start out in Minor league. Probably Double A then in Big League by June.

Dollander in Triple A and Drew Gilbert in Triple A ...

Trey Lipscomb on Nationals Opening Day roster..

Only 2 things I dislike about our bracket…we have to possibly play UK to get to elite 8 (we don’t match up well with them for some reason), and we have to play Thursday instead of getting one more day of rest.

UK is pretty banged up. Robinson, who wrecked us in the first game, is done. Butler can’t stay healthy. Carr has back problems.

Gonna have to roll out a bunch of freshman white guys at point. They’ll have 47 turnovers against ZZ.

Not concerned about UK at this point.

Shoot, Louisville fans will probably be cheering for us too. We can knock out UK in the S16 better than the other options.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

What's the difference between expecting and thinking we'll win?

Thinking is more like going into the game against Auburn I thought the basketball team could win it.

Going into the series with Florida I expected Vols to win it...and was thinking we'd get the sweep.

May not be a lot of them that buy tickets for both the morning and evening sessions on Thursday but, in the second round two game session on Saturday, the Louisville fans might root for us over a west coast team.

Ok, little Suzy…my name is Dr Jones…on this dolly, show me where the man diddled you.

My uncle was a world class diddler.
