I'm mad I didn't see that.

I watched about the first 5 minutes and it was all “The SEC is down, but so what.” So I switched back to the 2nd half of the Arsenal-West Ham game.

Did the Perfect game. When Bradshaw was honored, Summitt did her cheerleading thing, Peyton was in the house w/ a couple of Super Bowl teammates, and we blew them out.

If he brings more of whatever he brought that night, I’m all for it.

Shooting the ball that high

is just like shooting the ball flat. There is a very small margin of error.

by Vol Navy on Jan 31, 2009 9:31 PM EST up reply actions  

Heard Pearl describe it this week on the radio

With that much arc (dusting the roof, he joked), there’s too much elbow in the shot and therefore too much margin of error. The purpose of the elbow is just to get the hands high enough to shoot it. Just the hands should move, apparently. He said trying to fix it mid-season would do more harm than good. He’s still high on Scotty, though. Freshman, he says.

Well. It's starting to look for real.

I believe I once wrote about an unholy cacophony of retribution against Vandy for beating us that one year in football. Well, we are witnessing the same tonight for all of Florida’s wrongs against us….well, not all but choose at least one.

Does Dick Vitale add anything to a broadcast?

Do you learn anything from listening to this guy? I don’t.

do you learn anything from watching ANY announcer?

The guy’s got a bounce.

Besides, wendesday he called the wake score.

Just for the record

I love Dickie V.

Great announcer, great guy.

He's a cartoon.

Has as much business in the basketball HOF as Latrell Sprewell.

by wvvol on Jan 31, 2009 10:26 PM EST up reply actions  

I like him, too

He showed some class after that whole divulging secrets on the radio thing last year. He’s fun to make fun of, but I like him, too. Plus, when he’s here, you know it’s a big game.

And consider this: I can remember two Vitale games at Thompson-Boling. If this one holds up, it’ll be for two blowouts against the Gators.

Go Vols!

You'd be suprised

how many men’s basketball “fans” think Sumitt isn’t that great.

And he’s talking about ALL sports ALL time. That’s pretty special. Dickie V loves Pat.

I know you're kidding

but just in case — Matt was SMQ at his own site, then with SBN, and then he went pro with Rivals. Dude deserves it, too. He’s fantastic.

The scoop on Berry

“He was announced as an all american – students cheered his name – he pumped his fists, raised the roof, etc. I have to think Kiffin et al orchestrated that with recruits in.”

Is it only 2?

I guess I never see anyone else called for it. Neither of his looked like fouls, but he still gets called for him.
