And second, who do I call about my pasture not getting CSS? |

I suppose I’ll be relegated to radio.

Me too
Won’t have to deal with this much longer…Tuesday’s game with Wyoming is on ESPNU, and then the NCA&T and Charlotte games are back on CSS. Everything else should be more accessible
by Will on Dec 11, 2009 7:09 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
CHARLOTTE is on CSS?
That should be a huge game against a solid team (in between Memphis and Kansas). And we won’t be able to see it? Lame!

So the radio broadcast is advertizing how good UT fans "switch to Dish"
I have Dish and can’t watch the UT/MTSU game. It’s on Comcast/Charter only. Bitter irony.

In completetly random news
I was texted the news that my cousin has just quarterbacked Buford high School to the Georgia AA State Championship. I don’t know if he’s on our radar at all, but he’s heard a lot from South Carolina, Clemson, and Auburn.

Alex Ross
Threw for only 1 TD in a 13-10 win, but we’ll take it.

Yates has 6 points already for MTSU
We should probably stop him.

You know who's smiling right now?
John Wall. We’re going to have to score at least 100 to beat them
by Will on Dec 11, 2009 7:19 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
But Yates is a big guy
At any rate, we’re going to have to play a heck of a game to beat UK. They’re solid this year. That said, Pearl vs. Cal has worked out well in the past.
by Incipient_Senescence on Dec 11, 2009 7:21 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm still concerned about our ability to stop one guy
We had this problem last year. The reason we beat Memphis in the 1 vs 2 game had a lot to do with defense (66-62), because Lofton and Juanny played it very well. Any chance we’re holding what looks like a similarly-talented UK team to 62 points this year?
by Will on Dec 11, 2009 7:23 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm similarly concerned
Pearl has really not had much success in general without Lofton and Juanny. But he’s only had one year to try, so I’m not calling for his head or anything. Just slightly nervous about our defense and perimeter game in general without these guys.

Nashville is a great venue for the SEC Tournament
simply because it’s smaller. The Georgia Dome feels cavernous for basketball, whereas in the Sommet Center (or whatever they’re calling it now), it feels right and the energy is much higher.

I support this idea
It’s more neutral than Tampa too.

Sorry
Meant to be a reply

You do not want to fight Tyler Smith
since it’s radio only, I’m making it more exciting in my head

Have you heard anything from Hopson yet?
On the plus side, Prince had had a couple consecutive good possessions.
by Incipient_Senescence on Dec 11, 2009 7:37 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He's missed two threes
which I think are the only shots he’s taken
by Will on Dec 11, 2009 7:39 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
He just made a block
And Prince continues with good possessions.

Brian Williams playing well too
4 points 3 rebounds, solid contribution again
by Will on Dec 11, 2009 7:43 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Yes
And we HAVE to stop Yates. What’s that? 16?

New Dollhouse episode on
Only three weeks left before the series gets canceled.
Given that I don’t have video anyways, I think I’m just going to trust that UT has the game in hand. Hopefully, that trust is not misplaced.

Apparently Mississippi State beat the DePaul team we struggled with
by 31 points last night. Maybe they’ve finally got it going in the right direction this year.

player nicknames
anyone know what some of the player nicknames might be? “boogie” is a good one for Yates…and UT has “wheezy” and “the solution”…anything else??

Woolridge is Swiperboy
They’ve used “The Neighborhood”, “The Death Star” and the obligatory “Big Baby” for Brian Williams

awesome
thanks man…keep up the good work

Oh, and Pajamas for J.P.
Goes back to Calipari (probably intentionally) referring to J.P. as “P.J.” prior to the 1 vs. 2 game that we won and Pajamas dominated.
Of course, that’s just my pet name for him. No one else calls him that. But they should. ;-)

CHI$$LE!
Somehow, I don’t see us getting to use this as much this season, which saddens me

This really sucks
I hate Comcast. And cable generally. Why is this not available?

Anybody seen or heard from Kenny Hall tonight?
He’s got no stats and I don’t recall hearing his name…wondering if he’s been pulled from the rotation
by Will on Dec 11, 2009 8:40 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Maybe he had finals or something that he needed to study for.
by Hooper on Dec 11, 2009 8:44 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
You're the only one who studies for finals
That Stanford RB just showed up, then took off to Epcot with the stalker and the awards show. That’s how finals should be treated.

Looks like Prince has had a nice game tonight.
And 2 of their starters have 4 fouls apiece. That’ll make any comeback really tough.
by Hooper on Dec 11, 2009 8:48 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
We've tightened up on Yates considerably
he was 7 of 10 with 16 points. Now he’s 8 of 16 with 18, only one bucket in the second half.
by Will on Dec 11, 2009 8:49 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Prince hits a three
but with no visual proof, I remain skeptical

Do you suppose it's possible . . .
. . . to cut John Ward’s natural gas commercials into individual words and paste them together for a modern broadcast?
Might be worth the effort.

Also, why is Michigan's punter playing basketball for MTSU?
