Pearl says Hopson wont play vs bama

Twitter / Mike Griffith

Commence your wailing and gnashing of teeth. Or prep your boasts for when Tennessee beats Alabama without Hopson. It's a glass half empty vs. half full thing.

Cute kid. Hopson being out isn't surprising. Crutches usually means 2-4 weeks.

If he can't play Saturday in Knoxville

don’t like his chances for Tuesday in Lexington either, unless they’re intentionally holding him back with the belief that they can beat Bama without him. I’d hope for next Saturday at Florida.

I don't know the normal athlete's timeline for ankle sprains like this,

but since it was Tuesday, the Alabama game would be a 4-day window and the Kentucky game would be 7. That’s a 75% longer window for recovery. Unless he pushed too hard trying to recover for Alabama, he might yet have a good shot at Kentucky, even if it’s for reduced minutes.

I'm betting he'll play Tuesday night...

You know with all this Awbarn crap going on

I completely forgot that I absolutely despise you people and everything you stand for

It should be a good game tomorrow and I’m really hoping it’s the drag out low scoring affair that Alabama has won with lately and we’ll get to see two of the top teams in the conference (oh jesus it is SO funny/weird that I can actually say that about the Tide this year) go at it

really wish your best athlete could play – never want to claim a victory over a team who doesn’t have their best on the court and never want to have to put up with a team gloating of their ability to win without their best on the court

so have a good game and a pox on all your houses

and by pox I mean fire

and by that I mean your house burning away from fire

I want your stadium to burn

Who is this?

That is about as classless as anything I have ever seen posted here. Rivalry is one thing, but basketball, like football, is a GAME.

That's cool...

but for those who don’t about it, it was kind of disconcerting, to say the least.

actually our score board did burn once

from the intensity of Nick Saban’s hatred

or, you know, from welding

Well...

Yeah.

We do love a good taunting but

we expect you to return gracefully to this site and eat a big ole bowl of crow in the event that TBA doesn’t burn and the Vols manage to win without Hopson.

(Graphics request: bowl of crow prepared for young Wallacewade04 – just in case we happen to need it for’m).

Go Vols. Flush the Tide.

Nope. We were classy over at your place. Send this back to the chef.

I was really tempted to

use this in response, but I think there’s too much going on for a witty pictorial one-liner. Still, that last exchange. . .

Crutches?

That doesn’t sound good. It’s time to circle the wagons and git’r’dun.
