When it mattered most, how did the football team play in ATL? :crazy: Or Against Florida or Bama?

It was an end of the game heart breaker in ATL. Not like getting your doors blown off in the loser go home game against a team you should beat.

I love the basketball team. Just a tough way to finish the year. Losing on a last second shot is one thing, the way it went down tonight is very different...

That last second field goal against Florida, Bama and LSU stung...

Should I list to options that Pearl has to replace Chism with before sending Steven in the game? Seriously?

Let's see: Duke played, Brian played, and Childress played all before Steven came in...

Would you rather have had him send in Rick Daniels-Mulholland?

Jeez, what part of Louisville was much better don't you get? They are not the same team that lost to Dayton, Cincinnati, Seton Hall. They had injuries earlier in the year. This is a final four type team that had a higher seed due to those injuries. We had the misfortune of being seeded in the toughest bracket against the exact type of team we didn't want to meet in the S16.

Offense? What offense. All I saw was 5 guys trying to find an off balance circus shot all night. This was not a typical UT game. Bad plan/execution. Anytime Steven Peral plays significant minutes you know things have gone horribly wrong.

As I said in the game thread, this kind of comment sounds exactly like what the Butler guys were saying. We made look Butler look worse than usual, and tonight we looked terrible because Louisville made us look awful.

No point guard + tenacious defense + top scorer who is helpless to get himself open = not a good combination.

And I don't see how anybody can call Louisville "a team we should beat." They had some bad losses in November and December when they had injuries. The babbling heads have been talking about them as a legitimate Final Four contender for three months. They finished second in the Big East. This is nothing like the eggs that our football team laid against Maryland and Clemson.

I have $100 that says Louisville doesn't make the Final Four.

They're as good as or better than Memphis. Put them in a different bracket and they're in. Tough to make that bet when they have to play the University of Home Cooking in the state of North Carolina.

All I will say is that Tennesse is not as bad as they looked last night, and Louisville is not as good as they looked last night. Not saying that we would have beaten them anyway, but..

But similar to getting 100% pwned by your 2 biggest conference rivals on national television?

Andre McGee and Edgar Sosa aren't exactly Chris Paul, Louisville doesn't get great PG play either.

Sosa has been up and down all year and flat out stunk last night, but McGee has been a solid, non-flashy PG all year... The way he played last night is the way he played all year...

McGee - 13 pts (4-10), 3 assists, 3 rebs, 1 steal... Not bad numbers for a PG who splits time with 2 others...

This from the man who is:

1) Happy with how UT's football season went this year

2) Defends Fulmer.

Our football team did have the equivalent a 'sweet 16' finish We were one or two throws from the 'elite 8'--and it wasn't a record year.

If we make the 'elite 8' yet another time under Fulmer, would you be happy with Tennessee football and Fulmer in 2009?

At least it won't look be so bad after Petino's boys put a whipping on UNC.
