No chance of that jug.

Ironically, one of my idiosyncrasies is I don't eat orange things. carrots, oranges, O-Sherbet,,and on.
I can stand a sweet potato but only if it is enveloped in marshmallow cream, and, I have been known to eat cantaloupe if it is covered in crack-pepper and eaten in combination with hot seared-heavily buttered-biscuit.
But nothing else orange.

In fact, I don't know if my adopted UT TBA family saw it but when I was eating m&m's at the game I dropped the orange one's

So shoot me,,,
I'm unique,,just like everyone else

Everyone has their quirks Jump including

other and also have ocd about making sure
things are locked,stove and coffee pot are
off when I leave home.

I’ll be at the game Monday. The last 5 loses to Alabama was because they Hustle there tail off, I’m sure there coach told them this is how to beat Tennessee and it worked. It wants work this year, Tennessee is playing there best ball since Pat retired. Tennessee 83 - 59. As always go Lady Vols.

I think Coach Jumpers prediction is a little optimistic. It looks like we are better than last year and are getting better as the season goes on while Alabama is basically unchanged IMO. I think volbal09 prediction is pretty close. My prediction for whatever it is worth 72-54 UT.

I'm not looking at it from a fan's perspective of want, nor a statistician that only sees numbers..I Coach
More than that I know this team

If I was going into Storrs to play the connies next, I would want to go in on a high.
And nothing gives me more of a high than reaching my peak.
Every....time....out!

As a coach I tell my team right now
"We go into ALA strong, we finish strong and we continue stronger"

Coach K and her staff have reached these kids.
it's obvious
and we know Kellie's own athletic accomplishments were gotten through the drive she teaches

I'm not predicting Storrs(yet),,,but I know what my team is capable of
and no better place than ala to reach for that peak

All I know for certain is that if I am still alive at 9:15 p.m. tomorrow I will be either the most bitter, angry, disgusted human on Earth, or I’ll be on my way back home from TBA feeling like a million bucks, happy as a person can be.

Beating Alabama to end their mind-boggling five-game winning streak is everything to me. E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.

I agree that they are playing the best basketball they’ve played in years and it’s fun to watch. They really show their athleticism and are just an on-court decision or two away from being in a position to dominate consistently. I also like how they are sharing the ball and looking for assists.

My kind of wonderful, that's what you are.

I don't think 35 point win because Kristi Curry is a good coach (and a very nice lady). She figured out how to exploit the Lady Vols weaknesses the last few games (good coaches do that). She also made great adjustments in the second half and again in the 4th quarters to win the games. I'm hoping Coach Harper will continue to make in game adjustments as she has in some of our wins to counteract Coach Curry's acumen.

The score definitely won't be 91 to 56. I just hope Kellie keeps them focused on this game and not the next one. I have some concerns about that but I think the staff will make a point to keep them focused on Alabama. Wish it were Sunday instead of Monday night. We need that extra day to get our freshmen's legs back. Stupid to schedule UConn on a short turn around.

Blame that on Holly. I agree. Why would you schedule UConn at all. She cared nothing about Pat's legacy. Nothing at all. Also, 91 to 56 is a little too optimistic. I believe 81-66 is a little more realistic.

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more that’s how you’ll stay
That’s why darling, it’s incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Highly recommend putting this Nat King Cole classic in you Valentines Day playlist:)

Coach Jumper, I agree. But, let me ask you a question. Would you schedule UConn in light of last season's won-loss record of 19-12? Scheduling Central Connecticut maybe but not UConn.

I’m not coach jumper but if the hall of fame came to me and asked me to play UConn to benefit Alzheimer’s disease and have it honor Pat Summitt in some way I think the record goes out the window and you play for a good cause.
