From the RTT archives: January 20

by Joel Hollingsworth on Jan 20, 2009 2:00 PM EST in Rocky Top Talking Points

One year ago today: We were slacking off, apparently.

Two years ago today: The Vols were snapping a three-game losing streak by beating South Carolina 64-61, but losing Chris Lofton to a wicked ankle injury. Oh, and JaJuan Smith was in post-game apology mode due to an ill-advised trick shot to end the game. I miss him.

Three years ago today: We were also slacking off, I guess. Post-Holiday Stress Syndrome?

Jan 20th is my birthday

So guys were probably celebrating in honor of that. I’m really ticked about you guys working two years ago! And here you are working again (kinda)!

What's up with Juanny?

Is he playing in Europe? I haven’t heard anything about him in quite some time.

I miss him too.

Wikipedia says . . .

Smith was cut by the NBA club the Dallas Mavericks on October 22, 2008. At the end of October 2008, he signed a contract with the Slovenian League club, Union Olimpija of the Euroleague, through the end of 2008-09 season, but he left the team in less than a week due to personal reasons. He signed a 45-days contract with French League club Elan Bearnais Pau-Orthez on December 29, 2008.

According to Wikipedia, anyway.

Go Vols!
