Good win indeed UGA has some talent. I thought the season was going to be a disaster after those 3 WTF losses and Jones losing the first 2 SEC games.

1/18/2011 9:47:40 PM

Up next... @ UConn

Can UT go 3-0 against the mighty Big East?

1/19/2011 1:35:28 PM

Loss. Oh well, UT kept it close until the end. They played pretty well and limited Walker, but when Smith and Lamb were raining in 3's there wasn't much of a chance of winning that game.

Next 4 games are very winnable for UT: LSU, Ole Miss, Auburn, and Alabama. Vols should win a minimum of 3 and should really win all 4. This is a crucial stretch if they want to make the tourney.

oh shit! Pearl is SO dirty! I told you so!

1/24/2011 3:35:26 PM

Got that out of the way... Ole Miss is horrible but they've had UT's number lately

1/29/2011 6:29:30 PM

Haha they were 1.5 point dogs and waxed that ass in the second half. Good win. 4-2 under Jones. Pretty good all things considered.

1/29/2011 10:37:06 PM

I was pretty impressed with that game- although I was a little surprised when I found out we were the the underdogs (even if only by -1.5)

1/30/2011 5:10:08 PM

Hopson hurt his ankle in practice today. Hopefully he'll be OK.

2/1/2011 4:55:12 PM

Harris has missed the last two practices as well... if they are both out... ouch

2/1/2011 5:07:43 PM

never seen a guy catch an alley oop off the backboard from an opponent before

2/3/2011 10:25:08 PM

Hopson out, Harris is playing. No matter against this shitty Auburn team. 15-7 (5-2) against the #1 schedule. A win against Kentucky or Florida and I would feel good about the NCAAs.

2/3/2011 10:48:07 PM

yeah, Hopson didnt even make the trip

2/3/2011 10:49:19 PM

Kentucky beat their eyes shut last night. This team is sooooooooo inconsistent. Very hard to watch. At this point, I'd be happy if they made the tournament.

2/9/2011 3:40:48 PM

Barring a complete disaster, they will make it if only due to their retarded SOS and RPI.

Problem is, I could see them going to the Elite 8 or losing in the first round by 20

2/9/2011 8:05:44 PM

Horrible last possession

2/12/2011 8:07:00 PM

how do you not use a timeout there

2/12/2011 8:07:55 PM

not sure... Goins looked lost. A fade away three when down by 1??

2/12/2011 8:12:17 PM

blech... I caught a good amount of flack for what transpired over the last 48 seconds last night

2/13/2011 10:29:41 AM

Big game against Vandy and the best player in the SEC tonight.

2/22/2011 8:52:24 PM

that foul they just called on Pearl's son was one of the worst calls I've ever seen

2/22/2011 10:41:58 PM

holy shit, I had it on mute while doing some work shit and looked up and we won by 9?? we were down by 11 like 3 minutes ago, wtf?

2/22/2011 11:11:35 PM

29-9 run I think.

Good defense and Vanderbilt choke job = win.

2/22/2011 11:12:32 PM

2/23/2011 9:39:55 AM

so given that pearl is pretty much a shoo-in for a show-cause from the NCAA - who is UT going after for a new coach? and will pearl quit before he gets fired?

2/23/2011 3:46:06 PM

The letter of inquiry released today didnt include any serious charges. I think the only way he goes is if the university wants him to, and I don't see that happening.

2/23/2011 4:17:03 PM

Unethical conduct, failure to create an atmosphere of compliance, and having your assistants lie for you to cover your own lies to NCAA.

Yep, nothing serious there

2/23/2011 8:20:48 PM

You don't know the NCAA rules. Could have been much worse.

2/23/2011 8:54:15 PM

goalielax shows more that he has no clue what he is talking about.

Look at all of the things that have happened at UConn over the years under Calhoun and he's still there. Calipari has lost 2 FFs and still coaching, etc. numerous cases much worse than Pearl's.

Please jibbles, spin it for me.

2/23/2011 9:52:13 PM

^^ correct, but Tennessee isnt UConn when it comes to bball

^ the big charge, as in a formal charge, that they could have been hit with was "lack of institutional control"


rumor going around now is that the NCAA wants to hammer him, Kiffin, and Ogre and not so much the university... so it might be a "we will beat down Pearl, you fire him, and nothing much against the University"

[Edited on February 23, 2011 at 10:22 PM. Reason : d]

2/23/2011 10:21:30 PM

and for the record, goalielaxative was correct in that IF he gets a show-cause, he is fucked, just a question of if he gets it or not

yeah, this is bad, like almost Jimmy V. bad

Damn jibbles, who looks like they have no clue what they are talking about now? Objectivity my ass.

If UT keeps that dirtball, that's the equivalent to selling your soul to the sports devil for the sake of a few conference basketball wins.

2/24/2011 2:07:45 PM

More like Chris Washburn bad

2/24/2011 2:08:24 PM

^^ what? nothing that was said there is wrong... if the show-cause decision was in that release then yes, he is right, my point was that wasnt in there... everything that came out yesterday was already known, has been known for months, its was just the official release of the info.

And as I said a few posts later, I agree that once (and if) the show-cause is announced he is fucked, my point was that was not included in this release

2/24/2011 2:10:13 PM

Wait, is this the 2010-11 Tennessee Basketball thread, or the 2010-11 Male Vols Basketball thread?

Thread title is misleading

2/24/2011 2:11:09 PM

talk about both brudda, I dont care

2/24/2011 2:12:19 PM

goalielax was right on

Pearl is going to get a "show cause" from the NCAA and they are either going to

a) let UT off much lighter if they do it before the hearing

b) hammer UT for trying to hang onto a cheating, lying HC

2/24/2011 2:12:30 PM

I agree that those are both possibilities and very well could occur, but neither is 100% certain either based on what was just released.

2/24/2011 2:14:22 PM

keep telling yourself that

2/24/2011 2:17:27 PM

if I'm wrong, I will come back here and apologize.

if bruce pearl is still the HC at UT next year, I'll stop posting.....

















in the classifieds

2/24/2011 3:50:35 PM

And once again, I am not denying that it could very well happen, just saying that what was released the other day did not automatically mean that it would.

2/24/2011 6:06:21 PM

where were all yall when/while douchey mcgee calipari was/is running around

apparently you no longer have to dribble

2/26/2011 8:07:47 PM

I hate when my predictions come true


at least half of the top 25 went down today as well

2/26/2011 11:22:21 PM

pretty big game tomorrow vs Kentucky. If they win, they get a two seed in the SEC Tourney. If they lose, they drop to a five. And maybe Bruce's last home game at UT?

3/6/2011 1:29:40 AM

ugh, soooo many long bounces on Kentucky misses, frustrating as shit
