I'm really thankful for Yahoo!
Earning their exclamation point today, they are. I can’t get ESPN360, and for some reason the game’s not on up here in the Tri Cities. I haven’t paid for GamePlan, so Yahoo! it is.
!!!!!
I've been thankful for yahoo for awhile now :D
Something we won’t have with the upcoming SEC / ESPN deal, I don’t think :(

mmm
Good point. Thankfully, ESPN apparently has 359 other channels available before you have to resort to the 360th.
?
Good point.

And . . . “college basketball” on channel 5, according to the TiVo, but it’s been showing a channel logo for five minutes now.
That's all mine says is "College Basketball"
No teams listed. Is that the channel that usually shows Raycom games?
Wooo for Yahoo!
ESPN 360 doesn’t work for at work, so yeah!
Go Vols!
Scotty Hopson...found, well kinda, at least!
Blake Griffin
34 pts, 20 reb., with 12+ MINUTES left in 2nd half. What a Beast!
Scotty Hopson...found, well kinda, at least!
I agree
He finds areas on the court that no one else can find. Can make passes no one else seems to be able to make. The geometry of the court changes when he’s on the floor.
Really?
Huh. I heard that he lost pounds, grams, and three other foreign units of measure that I don’t care enough to look up.
Hey
It it on t.v. on that channel. It could not be a worse picture, though. Reminds me of our first t.v.
Ditto here
Except that it must be colder, because mine looks like snow. And clouds. And sounds like it’s raining buckets.
The D came to play!
Hands up on passes and shots, fighting through screens, it is starting to look like BruceBall!
Scotty Hopson...found, well kinda, at least!
Happiness is having the game on TV (muted) while listening to the radio broadcast.
Now, if I had Tivo, I would be able to delay the TV broadcast to sync with the radio broadcast. (Or so I understand.)
You dislike Bert but like Vitale?
.. .. .. You .. .. sobs
I thought we raised them better than this :’(

Bob Kesling isn't very good.
I think he’s had enough time to establish himself after following a legend and he’s just average.
I like Money! though
If I get tired of hearing it means we’re doing good.

At least he talks about what happens on the court.
My beef with the TV guys is they spend too much time hyping one or two guys and forget that they’re supposed to be doing play-by-play once in a while.
I'd like to be able to assume that THEY saw what happened, too.
I have many reasons to question that.
He is the worst with football...
Bob: “They run the ball…. gain of two it will be 2nd and 8”
Me: Who ran the ball and what kind of run right, left?
(next play)
Bob: 2nd and looks like about 11 and takes the snap and its a……….. long pass up middle of the field first down."
Me: A Pass to WHO!!!
Bob: that was Rogers on the catch…
Me: Finally
Bob Correction Briscoe with the catch and it will be 3rd and 1 as they line up under center
Me: Good grief!

I figured you could make a DVR out of a paperclip and two sticks of Juicy Fruit.
I mean, WTF hoop? :)
Theoretically
I’ve tried it before, and it’s really difficult to sync. And I think it might have to be re-synched at commercials. Don’t remember. But yeah, right now, I’d settle for a decent picture on my t.v. I am not exaggerating. In fact, as I’m typing this, the network must have decided that a logo is better than the crud they were piping out, b/c the logo’s back.
I think they made Tyler mad
Much like the game in Nashville, we’re all over them early…last time they never got back in it.
Last time it was Wheezey stepping on their gut.
No wait, that was last week and it was our guy ..

I hear that there's a football recruit in the crowd
And no one is to mention his name. In fact, I hear that Hamilton is now insisting that Kiffin refer to all recruits by some sort of index code.
I think he quit
When he had to settle for Vandy.

Play by play of the logo
Orange and peach gradient, a bit pixelated. Nice alphaed-out blue bars in the background. Stylish Arial-ish font of the WCYB next to the NBC Peacock. A few vertical lines among the horizontal theme.
Just in case anyone was wondering.
Looks much worse on the t.v.
That’s from the website, which, incidentally, also says “college basketball.”
Gah
JP has a terrible shot, but the rest of his game is so pretty!
Scotty Hopson...found, well kinda, at least!
Jump is not the word I'd use
more like, well, I don’t know what you call that. He attempts to levitate?
Scotty Hopson...found, well kinda, at least!
Heh.
Dodge ball. I’ve always been surprised that basketball hasn’t ruled the intentional bounce-off as illegal.
No doubt,
But then again, grabbing jersey at the end of the game to stop the clock should be intentional too, I guess, but it’s not.

The LEADING team in FG% (inc-conference) is UT at 48%?
The conference is shooting poorly if no team is above 50%.
It's like watching Denver football under Dan Reeves.
He had John Elway and would spend the entire game calling interior runs (Reeves was a running back in his playing days). When the Broncos were trailing in the 4th, he would allow Elway to pass the ball and they’d come from behind to win. It was extremely aggravating to watch them play away from their strength for most of the game and rely on it in crunch time.
UT seems to be doing the same – lobbing 3’s in the first half and switching to the interior game in the second half.
It is rather annoying
but not as bad as Bilas spewing hate.

3 actually
Justin Jackson, Tanner Wild, and the ghost of Ryan Childress.

Seriously I think we have three players with ability to slash to basket and make things happen...
Tyler
Prince
Hopson
Please lets do this!
This is really infuriating
The last I’ll say about it, but . . .
The picture on the t.v. is big but bad. The picture on the computer is small but good and behind. So I’m watching both, but it’s causing me to point my remote at the computer and wonder why nothing’s happening.
It looks like I'm watching a game from 1988
due to Raycom’s technological prowess.

It's nothing to worry about,
until the little ones are hiding behind Mommy and asking what happened to Daddy…
Fun Yahoo facts:
Vandy’s player of the game according to Yahoo is a guy who has 4 points and picked up 2 fouls before the first TV timeout.
That kind of sums up the first half, no?
Maybe we could tell them that points are "secondary violations" and put Kiffin on the court.
Points would flow like a river.
He said in an interview last week
that he lies down to go to sleep and thinks about Miami, Oregon, and SC, and thinking of Oregon helps him relax and go to sleep.
Cannons... fire them.

I think he always was.
I think he’s just hanging out for a free trip to a campus he won’t see otherwise.
How long until the secondary violation jokes wear out?
We’ve got multiple at halftime of a basketball game. Woo for being a football school!
Scotty Hopson...found, well kinda, at least!
Georgia leading Gators
halfway through the first! Go Dawgs!
Scotty Hopson...found, well kinda, at least!
Question on Bryce Brown:
Given what you know about him now, do you think he’d be able to handle Kiffin’s conditioning program? Or do we not know enough about him yet?
She kind of looks like the girl
from “She’s All That”

Did they switch over to digital just for the game?
Joel can’t get digital on his rabbit ears and television set.
lol
Nice shot of the dead crowd to accompany the statement “Tennessee basketball is at an all-time high.”
I'm okay with that, though
cuz we, like, got points off of it

[We've secretly replaced the Tennessee Volunteers with the Tennessee Volunteers...
…let’s see if anybody notices…]
This is
Tennessee Basketball! The one we all know and love
Scotty Hopson...found, well kinda, at least!
I will give Ogilvy props
he is a pretty good passer in the post.
Scotty Hopson...found, well kinda, at least!
Jodie Meeks almost outscored our team
why not Tyler against Vandy? Just sayin.
Scotty Hopson...found, well kinda, at least!
If Georgia continues to lead Florida
when this one’s over, we’ll have to keep the thread open for the finish of that game.
Are either of those games on?
I think of them is on another Raycom affiliate…. what about the other?
lol
Those guys just stood there looking at each other waiting for the refs and other players to break them up before they started at each other.
It's odd because they men in stripes aren't calling fouls on Vandy.
Witness the assault on Cam Tatum at half-court which no one saw.
That was a charge, was a foul, and was a travel on Vandy there not called ...
(the travel was when the guy stumbled as he grabbed the rebound)
what are these refs doing??
WOW
What a hustle play by Tatum! Awesome block and then chased it down back to half court and almost saved it.
Really, the way the game's gone it doesn't matter who they foul.
Chris Lofton isn’t walking through that door.
I thought so.
Should’ve taken it with 2 seconds left. What’s a rivalry without dagger twists like that?
Well, bad refs are more likely to be swayed by the home crowd, I think.
That’s actually a good thing in this case.
hmm
http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/gamecast?gameId=290450333
thats a LOT of stuff happening in 0:00 seconds …
a missed basket, the end of the half, an offensive rebound, a missed basket, and offensive rebound, a made tip in

What was the first name
of the “Hodge” who was the three-point specialist for the Chicago Bulls in their first run of championships?
That'd be awesome for them to win on many levels.
One level would be to make Calathes’s triple-double count for naught.
You know, I hate to bring this up...
But UGA beating UF isn’t going to do us any favors when anyone says the SEC is having a down year. Not that I don’t mind having one team drop off the pace.
Gators were a little behind the eight ball already
Florida’s 1-3 against the other three teams in this race.
True, but it's probably too late to salvage the SEC's reputation this year.
Since we’re in conference play, we don’t see the interconference matchups anymore. So we might as well hope for UT’s best interests, and to heck with the conference.
Most of salvaging - if there's any - will come in the tourney.
We just need to get teams there first. :)
