First! And equally unrelated to the game:
Let me just say that I’m very relieved our coaching search is over now. With the news about Tuberville and the gazillion other vacancies cropping up, it’s going to be nice to sit back and relax a bit.
(Betcha didn’t think I’d actually segue a First! into an actual comment, eh?)

I still think it's funnier Auburn's looking at Petrino
Seriously, if he bails after a season at Arkansas the jokes are never going to get old.
And since I’m still beating the Brian Kelly stuff into …well, the ground on the other side of the planet, that should tell you something.

Sure:
Where the UT offense this year was 1-2-3-punt, the Auburn offense next year can be 1-2-3-change jobs!

And he'll be available when they get rid of Weis
Because we didn’t give him a lifetime contract. :(

Heh. Welcome to the party.
Eh, why not? We’ve had our stress for a while. Time to dumb things down a touch, let the e.e.g. readings zero out, and relax.

I think they keep track of how many languages Negedu speaks.

Not quite
A low blow would be that Chris Low keeps track of how many languages Negedu speaks, and then GVX picks it up two weeks later.

Hey, UNC-A has a guy named John Williams.
And I’m not composing lies over here.

I've never watched Family Guy.
But since that wasn’t a Simpsons gag 5 years earlier, I’m guessing it is indeed obscure…

It was from the Star Wars episode
John Williams and the orchestra bites it all at once, so Danny Elfman steps in. It’s probably my favorite moment of …um, Family Guy.

Serious fowl trouble for Asheville.
They’re going to be dog tired by the end of this game.

They're not chickening out when it comes to challenging the Vols, at least.
Kudos to them.

Halftime stats:
Vols 43, Asheville 27
Fouls: Vols not many, Asheville a lot
Percentages: Horrible all the way around.

Never been a triple double in UT history?
That’s surprising.

Never been a quadruple double, either.
That’s not as surprising.

How about a quintuple double?
Perhaps speaking 5 different languages at least twice in the same game?

Perhaps the bar should be raised a bit for him...
2 different “your momma” jokes in 5 different languages?

That could work.
Although I really want to overhear Negedu trash-tralking in some language nobody else understands.

I bet he does it.
I would imagine that he’s taught the team a couple of phrases so they can recognize a bit of what he’s saying. Well, he should, at least. The refs would have no way of knowing what he’s saying.

Ya'll keep an eye on it.
I gotta give the baby a bath. Be back in about 15 minutes. If we can make our layups, Tyler ought to be OK.

A congratulatory post is now up.
I’ll embellish it once the game is over and the final numbers are in.
If you have anything you’d like to see added to the post, let me know. (wvvol, I’m going to mention the 2338. I missed the number while assembling the post, so thanks.)

I heard it from Bob Kesling so put an asterisk beside it.
The number may or may not be correct.

also notable:
no fouls on Tyler Smith either. He got the 3-2 while playing very controlled ball.
I just wish I could see how is defense looks. Obviously he’ll be player of the game, but I’d like to know just how dominant he’s been.

Don't forget CBP's 400.
The ESPN box score thing has Tyler with 9 assists. Let’s hope it’s wrong.
