Definitely been a rough week and a half for the Vols.

- Lose McCoy
- Both basketball teams lose. Men lose twice with one coming to Vandy.
- No Tate

I gotcha. Would you consider a longer stretch of time? Also, we got the Notre Dame dude and Jefferson. 2026 class looking really good. Maybe we get some traction with yesterday's group on campus.

Toward the end of the game last night you could basically see how the game would end.

As soon as Broome saved the out of bounds pass and kicked it out to dude for a 3, I knew that was going in. It was around the 20-30 second mark.

You can just about guess how games will go toward the end.

There was nothing you could do in that scenario. That was unguardable. Just made a play. Issue is they knew our offensive play.

Bilas said they ran same flex play the entire game, to which we had no answer. Lanier, once again was flat as the Plains of Auburn.

Off topic a little bit, but I wonder if there’s any WRs from the 26 class that could reclassify like Williams.

How old is Keys?

Honestly the best player last night was Okpara. I was honestly impressed at how well he held his own.

I quit watching basketball years ago due to this. The officiating is too subjective for me to enjoy the sport. Epic hard fought games are usually impacted at the last minute by a bad call(s). It's just not much fun to me.

Yep. Refs in basketball control the outcome more than any other sport.

I heard a good quote the other day: "A person will generally stay the same mental age that they were when they became rich and famous."

Makes sense. Everyone starts kissing your ***, few people tell you no. People stop inadvertently teaching you what it is to 'adult'.

And more generally, you stop having to strive to survive and thrive, which is where most of our growth and maturity comes from.

Agreed.

Randy Moss Career Stats - NFL - ESPN

You could have just shown his college highlights and the point would have been made..

You also gotta wonder how faduq the Titans drafted Kevin Dyson @ #17 instead of Randy Moss🤦‍♂️. Truly a world class level Front Office blunder. You already had Mc 9, Eddie, Frankie Cool and a fullback. All that was needed was a touchdown scorer. Horrendously bad draft decision. A franchise changing error..

dude. mccoy will be back.

girls coach was out giving birth, and they lost to the #7 team, on the road.

Men played their butts off, against the number one team in the country, legit. Auburn is a tough tough place to play. Gainey had the flu, and we are banged up. And we could have won!!

tate was never coming.

here's the issue I have with bball.

Where is Darlinstone? Where is Bishop? Cade is a dog, but then just disappears.

Chaz is a product of unfair expectations. he's got to live up to generational talent. To that point he can still be criticized. His play thus far isn't good enough, he has to take more shots.

Once again we have one offensive weapon who teams double. Millicic can't find a rhythm. Team is very close to elite. But will need DD, BB, or CP to be a scorer.

I love Rick but his recruiting, esp in HS hasn't been elite. Coaching is excellent.

Football - WR and DB recruiting net was not cast wide enough, period.

Coming from a fellow worry circle member, y’all are both being unreasonably miserable. Just sayin.

Shows and Adams. Not just with calls, but what should be calls. Simple as that. Year after year.

We always have to be good enough to beat both the opponent and the officials. Same as in football.

Again - I cannot get serious about basketball until the tourney. Let's see what happens in March.

I doubt the Deacon will put up with this much longer. Life is too short. Can't blame him.

College football and basketball have too much money invested to not hold the refs to higher standards or at least have some way to check their human error from beyond the court. That broohme grab pull foul with a minute left to go should be called in from wherever the review home office is, every time. Could argue it was an outcome impacting call with it a one score difference in the end.

Rick Barnes: 'I Don’t Know If I’d Still Be Doing It' Without Zakai Zeigler | Rocky Top Insider

Tennessee basketball coach Rick Barnes says he doesn't know if he would still be coaching without Zakai Zeigler.
www.rockytopinsider.com www.rockytopinsider.com

Do you think Barnes will retire next year? Or maybe get ZZ to coach with him if he doesn't make it in the NBA?

The nba needs defense like ZZ has. I bet a coach tinkers with his shot and he ends up excelling. He’s too good and too tenacious to fail.

Brothers and sisters, I am asking that you please take a little time out of your day to think of my daughter's good friend Ellie. She's been friends with her since they were 3 and they are 20 now. Ellie was recently diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma and her PET scan revealed it is already at Stage 4 and has spread to her spine, arm and leg. This young lady has been to my home many times and my daughter has also been to hers. Her family are great people and this is devastating and heartbreaking for all of us. Anything positive you can send will be mightily appreciated. She is at St. Judes, so we know she will get the best care possible. Thank you.
