Talking Points: Bad News in Threes Edition
(Delayed from the usual morning time due to the other posts on the day.) Brian Butler is at the heart of Bryce Brown's investigation. Like we didn't see this coming, but there you go. The fact that Brown is still allowed to practice is a good sign, though standard NCAA fickleness is still in...
Melvin Goins is Officially a Tennessee Volunteer!
Today, Melvin Goins made his commitment to UT official by submitting his Letter of Intent and will officially be a BallerVol for the 2009-2010 season. Only the second incoming player for the 2009 recruiting class (the other is forward Kenny Hall), he fills a tremendous need at point guard for a...
Tennessee Basketball All-Decade Team: Perimeter Players
The one spot on this team where there's no discussion and no debate is at one guard, where Chris Lofton should one day find his way to the Thompson-Boling Arena rafters. #5's greatness is well documented, and not only was he a fantastic individual player, but he was the focal point of the...
From the RTT Archives, Feburary 9
2008: We were wondering whether it was too late in the season for Chris Lofton to break the NCAA record for career threes, and the basketball team was narrowly avoiding a loss to LSU thanks to an ill JaJuan Smith waking up with 19 seconds left. Man, I miss those guys. 2007: A Bears fan was...

Disclaimer: Chill. We're just having fun, okay? The Reading of the Record of Wrongs committed by the LSU Tigers: In 2006 , after Dane Bradshaw had had some harmless on-court fun with the LSU fans in Baton Rouge, some of the courtside cajuns began chanting Bradshaw's name toward the end...
From the RTT archives: January 20
One year ago today: We were slacking off, apparently. Two years ago today: The Vols were snapping a three-game losing streak by beating South Carolina 64-61, but losing Chris Lofton to a wicked ankle injury. Oh, and JaJuan Smith was in post-game apology mode due to an ill-advised trick shot to...
The 'Cats have the Rhythm and the Vols have the blues: Kentucky 90, Tennessee 72
wvvol kicked off our Tennessee-Kentucky open game thread at 8:57 p.m. by asking, "What's [Jodie] Meeks's career high?" I responded at 8:59 that I'd let him know in two and a half hours. At 11:20, the game ended with Kentucky on top 90-72 and Meeks with not only a career high but school record 54...
The Curious Case of the 08-09 Vols
It's not that the honeymoon is over with Bruce Pearl. We just tend to get confused when the marriage looks a little different in its fourth year. Tonight's 89-62 win over Louisiana-Lafayette improves Pearl's Vols to 9-2 on the season as the calendar turns to 2009. Those eleven games include wins...
