10:32 left in the first half.
33-5 Tennessee. No, there’s no tens digit missing from Carson-Newman’s score there.
This team is working pretty hard, especially defensively. Granted, C-N is outmatched, but it’s nice to see the effort.
Also give Mickey Dearstone credit.
He knows all the names on both teams. No stumbles. No mispronunciations.
This is a straight-up mismatch.
I know it’s an exhibition and all, but is there anything we can learn from this?
Eric Berry for sending the guy who wins the Heisman spinning 720 degrees in the air at the podium - or for intercepting it and returning it to where it rightfully belongs
Thanks for the LV love, gents!

I will give my shirt for Tennessee today.
We'll be here all year!
Can’t guarantee a thread for everygame. (SBN isn’t yet set up for easy game threads for the ladies, but we’re hoping.) We’ll do what we can, though.
Yeah, pretty much.
C-N couldn’t handle the full-court press, and Summitt didn’t seem to be of a mind to give the Lady Vols a break.
I should also add that a lot of their points came off threes.
C-N couldn’t do anything in the interior. That was the mismatch part speaking, though; Tennessee was just too big and long (and, honestly, fast).
