Kevin Stallings won't do anything that a______ does.
We don’t recruit good players here, nor win games on the road against in-state rivals.
I am the worse for that.
The Mrs. is now ticked that I showed her the video. Hopefully that kind of motivation brings out ANGRY HULK SMASH tonight…
I have the TV on mute right now...
But I’m gonna assume Jay Bilas is saying something condescending about us. Once again, hooray for Jimmy Dykes on site.
Yes
Really like Dykes better doing color than in the studio. Not that he doesn’t do a good job at both places, but we hear a lot more of the color guy, so yeah, he’s better there.

The UTSports radio broadcast is LOUD.

If this keeps up for a while longer, we'll get to see if the team has killer instinct.
Or will they go slack?
great question.
It’d be nice to see them stick it to them for 40 minutes. Might want to adopt Nolan Richardson’s 40 minutes of hell motto.

If he's thinking about the NBA
I guarantee you the scouts want to see him do that more than they want to see him shooting threes.
by Will Shelton on Jan 20, 2009 9:31 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah
One thing I wonder about, though, is as much as us fans complain about Wayne taking those threes, you almost never hear Pearl complain about it. I think he likes the fact that Wayne takes a few. He can hit them, but even more than that, even if he misses, at least the big guarding him is taken out of the paint.
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Jan 20, 2009 9:33 PM EST up reply actions
Well...
Shot selection has never been something that Bruce has really worried about too much.
============
lawvol: Gate 21 - Life, the Universe, & the Bounce of the Ball
I think it is more,
when Chism chooses to shoot 3’s. He is much more effective shooting them when he catches the ball already facing the basket, either trailing the play or on the drive and kick.
Geez...
somebody tell Maze he’s not Allen Iverson.
Cannons... fire them.

Hmm
If he thinks he is Allen Iverson, then I’d advise against telling him otherwise.

We've played GREAT defense..
but we need to stop the silly TOs on offense. Vandy’s D is playing well, but they can’t stop the Wheezemobile.
Yeah
That’s actually quite refreshing
============

Weirdest part is that he'll be paid by Syracuse.

It was bound to happen
Someone in essence paying to UT to coach there. Are 50+ year old graduate assistants common?
No. Usually they're pretty creepy when you see them.
But I’m guessing this is a different situation. With Syracuse’s recent history, it’s probably wise for them to send a guy to learn from actual coaches for a while, if for no other reason than to erase the last few years of memory.
by David Hooper on Jan 20, 2009 10:01 PM EST up reply actions
Good point.
He’s had a lot of losing (Minnesota and Syracuse) since he coached with Monte at NC State.

disappointing free throw shooting
Vandy needs to foul…
============
lawvol: Gate 21 - Life, the Universe, & the Bounce of the Ball
And I STILL want to know why Vandy makes the 3-fingered V!
“Hey, how can we be uniquie?”
“Uhh … .. make the V in our name a W!”
Actually . . .
. . . it’s a V and a U. Or it’s meant to be. Those blue bloods are efficent. Or not.

I prefer to think of it as:
Two for the “V” and one to salute.
It makes it easier to root against them that way. ;-)
by David Hooper on Jan 20, 2009 10:07 PM EST up reply actions
That is disappointing.
I was hoping it had to do with a “W” being pronounced as a “V” in German. That would lead to all kinds of implications about Stallings.
Yeah, you know what happens when Stallings gets crazy

Yep
I think Will (it was Will, right?) nailed it earlier. If Vandy’s good, they’re good down low. Not guard-good. That’s where we’re bad. Of course, he said it much better than that. Because some people have a way with words. Other people . . . not have way.

It ain't cheating.
Standardized tests are point-grabs, not metrics of intelligence or potential. It’s not what you know, it’s whether you can find the right answer to circle in. Or at least a reasonable guess.

He seems to have realized that he is allowed to go inside.

Woo!
That’s three. Who else?
Go Vols!

I still think he looks either
shaken or arrogant at all times, instead of just confident. Maybe that’s the mark of a freshman.

Vandy 31.9% for the game...

Put down the rocks and cheer.

Wow
We’re hitting 65% in the 2nd half? Did I see that right? Woo.
Go Vols!

Get the ball inside!
What happened to a presence in the paint???
Cannons... fire them.

Good point
That last little bit was better, though.
Go Vols!

If I was a Vandy fan right now
I’d kill myself.
But really, I’d be thinking that this is the worst I’ve ever felt in my life when I was only down eight points. Because it has to feel like 18.

Not bad
I still like “Chizzle”
I’ve also found myself yelling “Scotty DON’T!” when he does something good, which only serves to confuse.

Chizzle... nice.
I miss Bertelkamp’s “Big Chilly” for Childress.

Ok, ok, ok.
Please stop fast breaking with a big lead. Let’s start working clock. No South Carolina redux, plz.

Our shooting is more balanced tonight
Chism, Smith, Prince, Hopson, all close

First time all year
Scotty’s played two good games back to back. Maybe he’s walking the arrogance side of that line.

Did Jimmy just say
that the guys had swagger while they were eating?
Go Vols!

Hmm.
Jimmy. Swagger. Jimmy. Swagger.

Wait until football
Coach O laughs at the swagger with which the bball team eats. He says he will show how to eat with intensity.
Oh, yeah
I’m going to eat this soup like you have NEVER SEEN!
Go Vols!

I was just answering the doorbell and caught the tail end of what Dykes was saying...
Was he getting at the fact that coaches might not be voting for the Vols in the poll because of Pearl?
doorbell?
Who’s at your door at 11:00 at night?
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Jan 20, 2009 11:05 PM EST up reply actions
oh
and me, I was here, but zoning out so I didn’t hear it.
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Jan 20, 2009 11:05 PM EST up reply actions
I was listening to Bob & Bert
so i didn’t hear it and wasn’t ringing anyone’s doorbells

11:00 PM doorbells come with the job description
Actually, it was a kid who left his coat in my car on our retreat last weekend. And since it’s -2 outside with 4 inches of snow here, I didn’t chastise him.
by Will Shelton on Jan 20, 2009 11:07 PM EST up reply actions
I was also terrified I was going to come back inside
And see Vandy down only like three points.
by Will Shelton on Jan 20, 2009 11:08 PM EST up reply actions
He didn't name the Vols or Pearl, but he said some coaches won't vote for other coaches.
Probably Antisemitists involved.
Vandy fans will want to white out this result
Go Vols!

I’ll be getting up at 5:00 to drive to Chattanooga to pick up a piano. Likely will not be doing a post-game. If anyone’s interested, have at it.
Great game, guys. Great thread, folks. See ya next time.
Go Vols!
by Joel Hollingsworth on Jan 20, 2009 11:11 PM EST reply actions
I'll put the coffee on...
And really, picking up a piano at 5:00 AM beats the doorbell at 11:00 PM
by Will Shelton on Jan 20, 2009 11:12 PM EST up reply actions
Comes with the job description
Husband of wife who wants piano for kids.
