Duke would never come here for a regular season game. We would have to schedule the game in Nashville.

I have a three-paragraph diatribe I could launch about how Coach K ruined non-conference games and the NCAAT committee kept rewarding it. Trust me.

I am actually stunned that Duke is willing to even play an exhibition game against us on the road. Would be lovely to have it be a game that actually matters, but I can’t wait to watch regardless. That’s exciting.

Good chance that won't be televised.

If Indiana, Gonzaga, and Michigan State were all televised, this will be, too. If I have to pay $10 for a Duke charity exhibition game, I will.

Good Very slim chance that won't be televised.

Fixed

The hype injected in these Tweets about exhibition games is kinda funny.

I imagine Duke loves the idea of introducing their young players to the physicality of a CRB team to kick off the year. And that’s what is driving this.

Makes me kinda like Schreyer, or at least, respect him as a coach. You gotta think Carey is a perfect fit for Rick's physical style of play, can't wait 'til the season starts. I'm also, hoping this game becomes Nate's coming out party. You know ESPN is going to make a subplot of a battle between Ament and the Boozer's twins and the rest of the Duke number one, recruiting class. Should be a lot of fun. I'm saying Vols by 5-10 points, in my way, too early prediction on July 16th.

Duke gets to introduce their young talented freshmen to the older physical front line of vols with zero downside. Game doesn't count towards anything and you get to learn a lot about team.

Pat Summitt > Coach K

One of those would play anybody anywhere.

In another "how far we've come" post, I remember when I would get excited we'd play non conference games against any P5 school; like didn't matter if it was a good P5 basketball school or team, any that I had heard of made me happy.

Bumped into Ron Slay today in Atlanta. Said hello and gave him a Go Vols.

My buddy I was with asked me who it was. I explained he was SEC POY etc.. and my buddy assumed he must have played in the NBA.

I told him “No. He was strong, but not athletic enough for the NBA. Wasn’t a good enough defender”

And I looked up his stats to show, and it was even worse than I remembered.

He recorded actual 0 blocks in his shortened junior season. And only 4 in his senior season where he won POY. Pretty wild lol.

Lol wow. I gotta admit he was before my time in UT fandom, but I did see him several times at RTL.

But, but, but they say he didn’t know anything about it…….

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I think he’s being slept on big time.

He abused us whenever we played against Vandy.

Yep, I also think he's one dude that's gonna benefit a lot from our S&C program.

I'm all about roughing up the Dukies before the season starts!
