Renaldo Woolridge has shot the lights out in pregame warmups. He and McBee. FWIW.

Maybe we can get a "just like football" chant started tonight.
Or a “just like women’s basketball”. I’m not picky.

Two numbers that will change:

so as odd as it sounds, skylar mcbee is killing the team tonight.
his man – jeffery taylor – has been absolutely dominant. vanderbilt’s attacking mcbee whenever he’s in game, and they’re just throwing everything they can at him and he can’t keep up. he’s also changing late, not rotating back, and doing pretty much everything he shouldn’t be doing. he has to play, but …man. ugly.

I think Bruce should just give the refs 2 one fingered salutes
and say F it, we are screwed at this point and I don’t see how the team on the floor right now can come back
Living in Alabama is like living 50 years in the past, they are still just as racist, just as educated, the state constitution forbids any kind of public transportation, and all they can talk about is Bear Bryant
Dykes with a really good point
Early is key in away games against good teams. We would only be getting beat (as opposed to stomped) if we didn’t dig such a huge hole early.

Sorry
That was a note to myself. I liked that rooster phrase.

We are TERRIBLE in the first five minutes
That has to change. Sometimes we can overcome it (Kansas, Ole Miss), but digging holes is a bad idea, especially on the road.

And this, I think, is on Bruce
I haven’t lost faith in him, but please improve this point.

How is something not a foul
Until 3 seconds after it is made? I know the refs are swallowing something, but I didn’t think it was their whistles.
Tennessee Fans: We win at teh Internet!
Vandy fans really give new meaning to the phrase "white out"
Their chants are pretty classless for the “harvard of the south”

Call 'em the "Brown of the South" then.

Nice move, Wayne
Now we’re just playing for good moments.

Any update on Tatum?
We had hit a nice stride with that 10-man rotation against USC, but we are completely lost tonight…
I'm behind
But the last I heard was from a radio show yesterday that he was going to travel to Nashville late. Sprain, no break. Getting rehab. No real timetable, I don’t think. At least at that point.

Why can't Vandy get a real gym?
they clearly aren’t spending that ESPN money on football….

because we win 80% of the games we play in memorial
why would we want one?
...so I guess now I root for chan gailey...
was that a Lane Kiffin
chant I just heard? Can anyone else make out what the crowd is chanting. We already lost, I’m just curious now.

"We want [x]"
Anyone?

On second thought
The SoCal game was worse. But this was damn close.
by Incipient_Senescence on Feb 9, 2010 9:13 PM EST reply actions
Oof...
Did somebody suggest we could win this game? Did somebody suggest we can beat UK on Saturday? :P
I don't think anyone suggested the latter
Lots of folks have suggested the former, although saying it’s unlikely.

Well that was ugly

Seven seconds to go, your team is up by 25 and you’re shooting threes? That makes you a douche bag.

meh
maybe he was a bench warmer. I don’t blame him for trying to get what he can get.
