The Official #3 Tennessee vs. Alabama Game Thread, 2:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[ATC_VOL]

Does anybody know what our longest home winning streak is??

Not sure but probably close to 35. I know we went undefeated at home in Lofton’s last two years. I believe 16-0 both seasons.

Edit: I think 37 is answer unless we had another long home win streak before that time. Lost at home to UK on 3/1/06 and didn’t lose again until playing Gonzaga on 1/7/09.

TN men should be woke & focused after the good butt chewing they got from coach Barnes.
I'm hoping we show NO mercy to Bama who's always thinking they own TN in all sports.

They pretty much do lately

 

[JohnD13]

Vols are winning by 32.5 in front of the home folks. I'm expecting a SHOW today.

.5 how you get half a point?

Reading the Alabama boards, there's growing dissatisfaction with Avery Johnson. In particular, the GA Southern loss still resonates, even with the big KY win. The main gripe being AJ doesn't value defense because he's still in the NBA-mode (that didn't seem to be an issue when they boat-raced us last year).

You can tell somebody doesn't know anything about the NBA when you see them say that the NBA doesn't value defense. Avery Johnson's NBA teams were always in the top half of the league in defensive points per possession, anyway.

Yeah, but Mich is looking equally bad (slow). 41-40 right now with 11 minutes to go.

 

[vol4eva]

We’re better than Michigan

 

[Vols All Day]

Neither team in the Mich v. Wis game plays an exciting style of basketball. Every basket Wisconsin gets is a tough basketball. Wisconsin hardly pushes the ball. That point guard #34 for Wisconsin is terrible.

If Wisconsin had a decent big man it's a blowout. He is soooooo bad

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

[ttocswob]

Vols by 17, 87-70
Bye, bye, Bama!

 

[alaVOL]

Destroy the bummers! GBO!!!!

 

[rich4pres]

I feel like I’ve been waiting an hour for Wisconsin to score a basket. BTW, we would beat this Michigan team.

 

[walkenvol]

We would boat race Wisconsin and beat Michigan handily

 

[vol4eva]

We look a lot more athletic than either of these teams.

If this is their style

 

[JCP201]

Wisconsin and number 2 Michigan in a shootout right now on ESPN.

Striped pants great news !! I have some Orange Tennessee warm up pants that are extremely “loud” and always get “complimented” by opposing fans at my kids baseball practices . Been wanting the striped ones forever to take it up a notch . Birthday in Feb. and baseball practice will also start in Feb. Looks like everything is coming up Milhouse !!

 

[FlVols]
