Fade Tennessee or No?

Have to admit I got this one wrong. Should have known better.

I had UT modeled as very slightly better. Maybe 1 point.

Figured two ugly teams would play an ugly game. UT got to the EE last year and played fine. Houston has gotten bounced in the S16 and EE consistently.

Felt like the perfect scenario for a rock fight coin flip. Then the real UT/Barnes showed up.

the Vols still have to learn it's all about getting PUKE out of this thing and not them getting to a final four finally.

Nobody cares about Tennessee being the best team never to make a final four. We sure as hell don't. But hey, it's Barnes and Tennessee. It's par for the course for them. In fact, an elite eight is above the par for their course. Happy for them to hang another elite eight banner. Cause that's all they're ever going to add to.

If he can't get the Vols to a Final Four in either last year or this year, he isn't.

Mark it down.

Hard to account for 1/15, I mean they’re bad but that’s so bad you almost have to try to be that bad.

As soon as Mashack missed 3 straight free throws you could sense they were in trouble. Tight as a drum.

You know this is a no no.
 
Oh, it will be a low scoring rock fight, for sure.
If Lanier and Gainey shoot like they did against us, UT will win.

BUT. I expect the Vols to crash and burn after being sky high for our game. They have won their Super Bowl.
Definitely the Kentucky Effect.

I know. I'm an embarrassment.

I'll quietly go sit in the corner now.

It's all good brother. We got it shut down just in time.
We all hate the Vols. At least all of us older fans. We know who our real rival is.
