Chism is up there on my favorite list. I liked Smith too, wish it would have ended better with him

YV, we know the obvious choice for 2 days (JaJuan), but can I request a Melvin Goins throwback #2? I really grew to like him.

Little dude could absolutely SKY!!!

Will never forget the T he picked up for the steal and nasty slam he pulled off...never understood the call.

YV, since there's 2 days left, I'm requesting 2 pix....gotta have Jajuan up there too.

To the University of Tennessee student body,

Let me start with one of my favorite sayings, it's something I tell our players all the time:

It's a great day to be alive!!!

Well I want to personally ask for your help in making Friday night a great night to be a Tennessee Vol!

We open our regular season against Kennesaw State at 7 p.m., and I want you to pack the student section and show what makes Thompson-Boling Arena the nation's No. 1 college basketball arena.

Throughout the past year, I've had a chance to meet a lot of you during my walks on campus, before and after our games and during lunches at the UC and Presidential Court. I've even talked to some of you on Twitter (keep it coming).

I consider the student body an extension of our team, so as a member of the team, I expect you to be at practice this Thursday at Thompson-Boling Arena at 3:30 p.m. If you're late, there's a good chance Nicodemus is going to make you wear one of our weight vests and run the arena steps.

We'll have pizza for you, and you'll also be able to sign up to join the Rocky Top Rowdies, which is my favorite section of the arena on Tennessee game days. The energy generated by the Rocky Top Rowdies truly makes a difference in close games. Our players feed off of that every night.

Our practices can get pretty intense at times, which is how I like it. Hopefully I'll see you there on Thursday and you can help add to the intensity and get our guys ready for Friday night.

I'm honored and humbled to be your coach, and I guarantee that I'll work hard every day to make you proud of the effort your basketball team plays with for as long as I'm on that home bench.

Go Vols!

literally the only time ive seen dooley is when he had to squeeze through my row with the football recruits at the auburn basketball game last year. maybe he's just at places I'm not. i think it would be cool if he came around more, but at the same time I understand because when it comes to football student suppport is gonna rely soley on the record and football has a tradition that basketball doesn't necessarily have.

It's almost "BASKETBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE!" I cant wait. I'll be there in Section 130. Looking forward to seeing the team in a real game. Sure wish we had Maymon but if he is able to come back this year, we will have developed some strong depth with him being out. If he gets back at 100%, I see no reason this team does not make the Sweet 16 this year. GO VOLS!!
