More slams
We need more slams. Harder to miss a slam.

I’m sorry but those are a little weird.
Plus they are using a re-mix the old 1980’s tune “Somebody’s Watching Me” weird.

Hey
Somebody just used the words “manicured” and “Alabama” in the same sentence. Has that ever happened?

Well, they got their hands cut off by Utah, but that doesn't count.

Okay, so maybe "two-handed slams"
Maybe that’s what we need more of.

Man
Hopson, when he hits, has a beautiful stroke.
Go Vols!

No, that was tipped
Wasn’t it? What’s the rule? If tipped by a defender, then merely touched by an offensive guy, and the o-guy gets it in the backcourt — violation?

I really like Negedu
He speaks four languages, you know.

That's right
I forgot about the legend-multiplier effect.
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Jan 10, 2009 12:40 PM EST up reply actions
Yes.
He hasn’t played enough to break our heart. From what I’ve seen him play, I can’t understand why he doesn’t play more.
Agreed
But everyone will break your heart eventually, you know.
Go Vols!

I like him as well
I don’t speak French, but I do kiss that way…
Hmm, probably shouldn’t have said that
============
lawvol: Gate 21 - Life, the Universe, & the Bounce of the Ball
And I my toast
And Negedu doesn’t speak French, by the way.
And sneak peak for all you comment-threaders: I have a Nigerian friend working on translating Rocky Top into one of the languages Negedu speaks. So that should be fun. Maybe.

cool
I also speak redneck, but not often
============

Great
Can you translate Rocky Top into redneck?
Oh, wait.
Never mind.

defense looks much better today
============
lawvol: Gate 21 - Life, the Universe, & the Bounce of the Ball
Yes maybe somebody on the other team will not have a career high day
Tackled by "Puki" and a host of Volunteers
Of course...
Georgia isn’t nearly as good as Gone-ga-ga
============
lawvol: Gate 21 - Life, the Universe, & the Bounce of the Ball
yeah but in every game we lost somebody had a career high game....crazy
Tackled by "Puki" and a host of Volunteers
I know
we made “shaggy” look all-world the other night
============
lawvol: Gate 21 - Life, the Universe, & the Bounce of the Ball
good point, I guess that must mean something about our defense
Tackled by "Puki" and a host of Volunteers
Looked to me like a great hustle play by Bobby Maze.
He ran down the court and at least challenged the guy.
Agree
He does have a nasty habit of putting his non-challenging hand on the guy’s back, though.
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Jan 10, 2009 12:49 PM EST up reply actions
Hahaha
Love it when the play is EXACTLY OPPOSITE of what the announcer says is going to happen.
Go Vols!

Much more aggressive
on both sides of the ball today. That is good. Very good.

any thought on Lofton's parents at the game the other night promoting the OUTLIVE campaign? I loved it
Tackled by "Puki" and a host of Volunteers
oooh, pretty colors
45.5% isn’t great, but I suppose it’s good enough for the moment.
So where you get your stats? UT Sports? CBS?

Just got in from a meeting...
And saw Bobby Maze hit a three on the first half highlights. Almost passed out.
Hey, Will
1st half full of surprises. Actually, though, the biggest surprise is that we’re only up by four. Seemed like we were dominating more than that.

We also established what languages everyone speaks
and talked about fast food…

I took Spanish 150 four times at UT before I passed it with a D. I’m not sure if that counts.

only 4-11 from the charity stripe!

HULK SMASH!!!

0-6, including two losses sans-Lofton at Florida and Kentucky. Still, don’t like the precedent.

Should have been one more pass on that fast break. Smith was open for a slam.

He’s using software?

I use Adobe Creative Suite 3
which includes Photoshop among other programs. It is crazy expensive, but there are much less expensive programs out there. If you want to know more, just shoot me an email and I’ll give you some info.
But just to be clear, all of these were done long ago (some not even by me). I’m not doing them as the game is going on.
============

Well glad we won
Concerned about the way UT let them back into the game after a big lead
Tackled by "Puki" and a host of Volunteers
Well, everyone...
Thanks for having me, as always.
Onward and upward. Kentucky is next…
