I missed the first half. I came in and read the comments at half. SMDH. You people should be ashamed.

 

[Sandvol]

Do you guys think this investigation is going any farther or did those recent resignations end it?

 

[volinSmyrna]

Scrappy teams find a way to hang around most of the time, and we are definitely scrappy. We aren't going to out-talent many teams, but we will fight them. Great win today!

Final Vols-67, #15 Butler-55

 

[SamRebel35]

Amazing win! Wish I could have seen some of it.

 

[Gramps]

DT can coach and knows how to motivate his players

 

[Plecoptera]

Is NC State on Wednesday?

 

[JCP201]

Boom!! WOOT WOOT!! We got ourselves a team and a coach.

Lets be honest here ladies and gentleman. How many of us seen a 12 point victory coming today? I sure as crap didn't. GO VOLS!!!!!!!!!! Down 9 at half, and came back for a huge win. We held Butler to 6 fgs in the 2nd half. I believe we may have us a pretty solid coach on our hands.

 

[NashVOL93]

Yo, fellas - Tyndall can coach. Hope you believe it now.

I spoiled my DVR recording by peeking, but I needed this lift.

 

[YankeeVol]

Back to back good wins.

 

[Purplehaze26]

effort is there, just not falling. Butler is doubling our rebound total and they are no taller. Just too much inexperience. Don't see how we were 1 pt. fav. over a top 20 team, though.

Happy to eat crow on this one!! Terrific 2nd half effort!!!:clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping:

 

[Vols4us]

Donnie can flat coach. Love this guy. Leave him alone AA. He'll be good, I promise. lol.

 

[TeddyYeti]

Great win! What we needed.

Is NC State on Wednesday?

I believe so and then I think a turnaround game at home in Friday. We start playing a flurry of games because we are behind with how many we have played.

@Charlie_Burris: Tennessee is the first SEC team other than Kentucky to beat a top 25 team so far this year. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

Yes we play Friday and home on next Monday. Will be at both. Wish I could've gone today but will be there. Go vols

Absolute huge win!!!! First half looked ugly but that's a sign of a good coach who can make halftime adjustments!! Huge win great effort from J rich punter and even Reese on the boards! Another big game vs NC State on the road wed!

 

[Ace]

[BIG D12]

Soooooooo happy. What a momentum started. Kids can get some confidence they can play

 

[mtm1963]

[aboles922]

Where is BTO? He should be here and be excited about our new coach
