Basketball Game vs. Alabama an “Orange Out”

[JohnWardForever]

Alabama has the potential to murder the Vols. Oh wait, Brandon Miller is gone.

WELL PLAYED! Whatever karma comes Nate Oat's way I'm all for. Miller literally got away with Conspiracy to a Murder and Oats participated in the coverup. I hope the Mizzou player sues the hell out of Oats & bama.

I’ll try. The interstate around and through Knoxville is in good shape. Kingston Pike is in good shape as well. Some of the other secondary thoroughfares are decent, but slick in spots. Roads lightly traveled are bad.

There is so much ice compacted below the snow layer that things can get tricky in a hurry, especially with hilly locations. If you’re coming from I-40 west, I would stay on the interstate to downtown and take the exit at the top of the downtown ramp and follow down to Neyland Drive. Any other routes may or may not be okay.

Things could continue to change as temps are plummeting beginning later this afternoon to around 12 degrees tonight. I would also start early, obviously. This is the worst as far as roads go that I’ve ever seen in Knoxville, at least as far as this timeframe goes.

Thanks, we're driving in tomorrow from North Carolina and from what I can see on DOT cameras on the interstates, it's clear on the major roads. Just hard to get a real idea of side streets when local media always blow everything out of proportion.

That’s what the Dallas Cowboys said.

Cowboys always choke in the playoffs over the last 30 years. Plus, I absolutely hate the Cowboys. So, I don't wanna hear it. Vols 80, Bama 70

Side streets and tertiary and secondary roads can be really treacherous at this point. Hopefully roads around the campus are better than what I’ve seen otherwise. Be safe.

Roads all seem pretty good today, any road you’d need to use to get to the arena was cleared for the game Tuesday so should be good for Saturday

Hope we can carry this positive momentum and recent play into tomorrow--- would love to see us stomp bama at home just like we did ole miss... Everyone is going to try to knock us off, so they'll be playing lights out to get the upset--- good thing DK seems to have found his rhythm again and Aidoo and a few others seem to be playing with confidence...Start fast and confident and don't let the foot off the gas.

Alabama is almost as big a rival as Kentucky

Well Florida was # 2 in conference in avg. points per game at 85 and we held them to 65, now Bama is top scoring team at 92 a game be interesting what our D can do with them. They have some excellent shooters that can fill it up, but I just don't see them getting in the 90s.

Was on campus today. Very sketchy but if you made it this far, you'll have no problem. Sidewalks and lots are iced over, most side streets are untouched. UT has not done a great job of getting ready for students on Monday. Campus is passable, but it's not great

They canceled class Monday due to the conditions. Plus, they wanted to give students more time to travel (from winter break) since temperatures are expected to be above freezing Sunday.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they cancel classes on Tuesday.

Go cowboys! Lol. Good season with a depressing ending. Every year. It’s getting old.

I'm an Eagles fan, so I feel your pain, this year. 10-1 to 11-6 and one and out in the playoffs. Complete collapse

Not an Eagles fan, but it was kind of sad watching them lose to the Cardinals down the stretch of the regular season. That was the game where it felt like to me that Philly’s season was done.

Budgets are minimal for winter weather maintenance in the South. We've had relatively warm winters with less snow the past 30-40 years

Heaven knows I want to run those criminal tide folks and Oatmeal freak clear out of Knoxville. Not sure if I dislike AU, or Kensucky more, but I damn sure do want to run them all into the ground this year.
Play hard Vols… and here’s to SV and JJJ’s best game of the year.
