FINISH THEM!!! Lady Vols Beat Vanderbilt 69-60 on Late Surges
by Hooper on Feb 8, 2010 11:38 PM EST
in Lady Vols Basketball
0 comments
If you want to be a champion, you have to win the ugly ones. You also have to finish strong. Tonight, the Lady Vols did both.
Tennessee - Vanderbilt has silently grown into a very emotional rivalry in women's basketball. Though Tennessee has won 19 of the last 20 meetings, the games of late have been close, aggressive contests, and Vanderbilt's lone win in that span came last year. Vanderbilt is loaded with juniors and seniors who are very talented in their own right and who dearly want to prove themselves against Summitt's gals.
For much of the night, Tennessee was stymied on the defensive end by Vanderbilt's quickness off the dribble. The Commodores gave up a significant amount of height to the Lady Vols, so they used their agility to find driving lanes to basket all night long. (Pat Summitt, by the way, has her teaching point: put more effort against the dribble drive. Tomorrow will be a very busy practice.)
But the biggest difference between last year and this yeas was on display for the Lady Vols: the ability to push through adversity and finish strong.

This is why you never leave early: cheap tacos < 23-point comeback

- Red Cup Rebellion laments its decision to eat cheap Mexican food while Ole Miss was erasing Alabama's 23-point second half lead on its way to a 74-67 win. Roll Bama Roll, by the way, quotes Forest Gump about the whole thing: "That's all I have to say about that."
- Michigan State fell again in the Big Ten, this time 73-78 to Illinois. The Only Colors sifts through the very good to the very bad performances of the Spartans while Hail to the Orange hopes that the win signals a turning of the proverbial corner for the Illini.
- Duke Basketball Report finds an illustration of the value of Lance Thomas in the 66-63 win over Boston College.
- Tomahawk Nation examines just how thoroughly Florida State dominated the rest of the ACC in this year's recruiting rankings.

2010 Tennessee Football Coaching Staff
by Will on Feb 8, 2010 10:00 AM EST
in Tennessee Volunteer Football

Now that the Vols have rounded out their new coaching staff with the hiring of Chuck Smith, we thought we'd take a look at these guys collectively. Some of the assistant hires got a little lost in the shuffle of recruiting, but on the whole, this is a staff with a solid balance of NFL and SEC experience.
Much was made of the Kiffin Chimera, and while this staff will certainly be less talked about, our hope is that they can be just as efficient in both recruiting and coaching, and ultimately even more so...and that they'll all stick around long enough to realize the fruit of their labor.
While official announcements on specific position assignments haven't been made in all cases, Brent Hubbs at VolQuest gave what he felt to be the assignments on Friday night ($), and we'll be working with that information. For more details on each coach, check out the official individual releases from UTSports.com, from which the majority of this information comes.
The highlights of our ten coaches:
(RC is Recruiting Coordinator, ST is Special Teams, and previous experience does not include graduate assistant work)
Derek Dooley - Head Coach
- 2009: Head Coach, Louisiana Tech
- at Louisiana Tech (07-09): 17-20 overall, 8-5 in 2008 and won 2008 Independence Bowl (first LaTech bowl appearance since '01, first bowl win since '77)
- Previous coaching experience: SMU (WR 97-99), LSU (TE/RC 00-02, RB/ST 03-04), Miami Dolphins (TE 05-06), Louisiana Tech (HC 07-09)
- Coached on Nick Saban's staff at LSU that won 2 SEC Championships and the 2003 National Championship
- Son of Georgia legend Vince Dooley
Jim Chaney - Offensive Coordinator & Running Backs

Defensive Vols prepare for brutal road trip
by Joel on Feb 8, 2010 7:13 AM EST
in Rocky Top Talking Points
5 comments
Talking Points for 2/8/10, with links and excerpts after the jump:
- The common denominator in wins against Florida, LSU, and South Carolina? Excellent defense resulting in very low shooting percentages for opponents.
- Wayne Chism will destroy you with his eyes closed if you try to defend him from behind. Expect opponents to do less of that in the future.
- Get ready for a really tough stretch of games, starting with games at Vandy and at Kentucky, sandwiching a game against the Georgia team that's beaten both us and the Commodores, and ending with games at South Carolina and at Florida.
- No news on Cam Tatum yet.
- The more we learn about the Vols' new coaching staff, the more there is to like.

The Super Bowl on SB Nation

Happy Super Bowl Sunday, y'all. Whether you're rooting for Peyton Manning and the Colts or going with the numbers in Robert Meachem, Jabari Greer, and Marvin Mitchell and the Saints, SB Nation's got you covered.
For the Colts' perspective, head over to Stampede Blue, and for the New Orleans fan bias, check out Canal Street Chronicles. If you're just interested in the game or the commercials, SB Nation is the place to be, as they have the super story stream. SB Nation has three guys credentialed, including guys from both team blogs and a guy from the mothership.
A few links of note:
- Statistical preview of the game, from Stampede Blue, in three parts
- BigBlueShoe's interview with Peter King, in two parts
- SB Nation's gigantenormongous Super Bowl open thread, for as many communities it can handle before it blows up.
- And finally, SBN's Super Bowl event page that ties everything up into a nice, pretty package.
So have at it, folks. The Super Bowl could really use some viewers.
