Thank you for caring about this team enough to put these excellent posts in from the other side of the globe. God be with you in all that you do in your military career. Praying that he keeps you safe! You truly are a VFL!

 

[Special Ed]

Disparaging Coach Pearl when he was UT's coach by calling him an "idiot @$$hole" in public and, more recently, disparaging the UT fanbase and supporters for not doing everything within our power to hold onto Cuonzo: Stallings leads 1 - 0.

another "close" loss

 

[madbamahater]

If Vandie shoots 30+ free throw attemps they will win. Always the case in Nashville. They spend the entire game at the foul line.

THIS X 1,000. HOOAH! :hi:

Let's beat those lowly commode doors!
GO VOLS!

 

[UT_Dutchman]

Go Vols! Finally a midweek game I get to watch.

 

[ainge10heisman]

We need this win in the worst kind of way. Unfortunately, I don't believe we will get it. It's hard to beat the refs too, and Vandy will live on the foul line tonight. The disparity between the foul calls will be huge.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

They spend the entire game at the foul line.

If they stay there on defense we will be fine

 

[MphsBlues]

If we don't win it, DT should make the players stay after the game and repaint that stupid court to a more suitable layout/colors, etc... That has to be the worst court in college hoops.

 

[Dave1967]

Tennessee will beat Vandy by 6

 

[VolsSportsFan]

No question this is a must win.

 

[GBO18]

Vols by 9.

Without your pregame post I would be lost. I enjoy reading them. You give me information that I would ordinary wonder about and would have to search for. Thanks for being so thorough!

You rock Yankee! :rock:

I hate Vandy, I hate Memorial Gym and I hate that smug SOAB Stallings.

I hope we elbow drop them from the top rope tonight

Beating Vandy in basketball is honestly one of things sportswise I really look forward to every year. I really cherish the years we sweep them.

1998-1999 is one of favorite regular seasons for the simple reason it was the last time we swept UK and VU in the same season.

What crew is officiating?

What crew is officiating?

Knowing our luck Teddy V, Phil Luckett, and the d-bag who said Gaffney's drop was a catch.

You want Teddy V to ref when you're on the road. TV loves to be booed. The guy loves getting heat from fans.

 

[VolGee4]

Knowing our luck Teddy V, Phil Luckett, and the d-bag who said Gaffney's drop was a catch.

He did the Wisconsin-Nebraska game last night and actually got overruled by a fellow official. He called traveling on Kaminsky, but the other ref came in and called a foul. It was actually one time where I thought Teddy was correct.
