Before I express my disgust over the Kentucky game and do a brief preview of the next matchup, I did state I was going to do game threads only, but seeing the mods can change the name of the thread then I will setup the threads in pre-game mode. Thanks to those who gave very informative suggestions in making these threads better and most importantly fun. All I can tell you is I know I'll have to double up in the amount of booze served during these live threads. I'll still have the food but bring your favorite beer.:beerf:( because taste does matter)

MY REACTION TO THE LAST GAME.

Well let me start with this:
:puke5:

The meek shall inherit the earth, but the meek dominated Thompson-Boiling Arena with 50+ :censored:points! 50+ :censored: POINTS. If the sky was falling, it fell last night. How in the world did we let this happen? It was bad enough teams were getting easy backdoor scores in the paint but the perimeter? Did we have anybody on this guy? Sounds like the NBA 3-point shooting contest came to town. What's even worst is a number of UK players had career highs on our :censored:. Quite frankly guys, WE ARE JUST NOT A VERY GOOD TEAM RIGHT NOW. Having athletic players is one thing, but not making the plays is another. Do we have to go see if Lofton, JaJuan and Bradshaw have any eligibility left, because we have no guards especially the ones that can shoot the threes in the clutch? Hopson is not a guard but a small forward. Maze..............he is more of an assist man than a shooter. As for Prince........I don't know what to think? This team needs to start finding ways to slow the tempo down and STOP ATTEMPTING THE THREES because they are not a three-point team. Even worse, make BETTER SHOT SELECTIONS!

First it was the home court streak, now the home streak versus an SEC opponent. Pathetic

NOW

THE NEXT MATCHUP

South Carolina is an up and coming team led by Darrin Horn, the same Darrin Horn who led Western Kentucky on a Cindrella run last March which ended in a close defeat to Final Four participant, UCLA. The Gamecocks are led by the quick and speedy guard play of Dewon Downey, who since transferring from UC, has opened the eyes of coaches in the SEC. This team has already made some noise and is a possible surprise in the conference.

I'm guessing Raycom on this one but more information will come out in the next couple of days as the name of this thread changes.

So, any suggestions for Everclear? I'm listening. Everclear is some powerful stuff!

THIS WILL LIKELY BECOME THE OFFICIAL GAME THREAD.

Well I guess somebody else has to do the postgame since hat is the "postgame guy". I don't have a problem if he is the guy for postgame coverage.

After a couple of successful live threads (@ KU, the NC game), I've decided to step in the ring to do these type of threads. Hopefully these should be fun.

I want to advise to take any type of anger, especially after a humiliating home loss to our archrival, elsewhere because going after the person who is trying to make these game threads better is just a way of saying: I'm blaming you because they lost and your threads suck and ignore this thread. WHAT KIND OF ATTITUDE IS THAT? I mean I'm looking for ways to better the thread in a positive manner and your guys ranting of "this sucks" and "why do you have to be the guy" is just out right ridiculous and immature. If this person wants to be the guy, FINE. Better find some way how to give ways how to improve the product.

Looking at last night's thread, it ended very badly because of the VN Guru and a couple of other supposed UT fans.

JUST COOL IT!!!! JUST HOPE THEY GET BETTER BECAUSE LOSING SUCKS!!!

Can I start the "Official Tennessee vs. South Carolina Pre-game Discussion Thread Discussion Thread?"

In this wonderful thread we can regale one another with stories of threads past. We can even see if our new and glorious host can stand the test of time by linking such classic threads as "The Official Tennessee vs. Chattanooga Game Thread," "The Official Tennessee vs. Florida Game Thread," "The Official Tennessee vs. Long Beach State Game Thread," "Section 103 Postgame Report," "Section 103 Postgame Report," "Section 103 Postgame Report," and of course "Rod Wilks"

I know most people just ignore the ridiculousness. I normally would. It has become my mission to eliminate it.

Downey is much quicker than Meeks and wouldn't surprise me if he is the 7th player to get a career high against us.

Heard that Pearl did not say much after the Kentucky game, but did explode for about 20 seconds on them.

the gamecock's last game vs LSU was undoubtedly the worst game that the team has played in a number of years. We went like 8-22 on free throws or somethings, and we commited the most turnovers all season in that game. If we play UT like we did LSU, we will get dragged, but if we come out shooting well and not making as many errors like we did against Baylor and Auburn, then I think the Gamecocks have a decent shot at the upset. It doesn't help that the game is in TB Arena.

Realistic Prediction:
Tennessee- 74
South Carolina- 68

Optimistic Prediction:
South Carolina- 78
Tennessee- 70

So Childress is cleared and said he is 100%.... we could use his toughness... but too bad he's not a guard. Won't really solve any problems unless is somehow gets T. Smith to take more of Prince's minutes at the 3 with another big available. That's the only possible positive I can see at the moment.

People seeing Childress as a help to our woes tells one all they need to know about the state of things. I can't imagine him addressing any of the issues with the team. Hoping for Childress to save us is fool's gold.

Um - well that's kinda why I said.. and I quote "but too bad he's not a guard. Won't really solve any problems".

I think Childress will probably play with 100% effort and won't make a lot of the stupid mental errors out there if and when he does get to play being his senior year and having been pushed aside slowly when the talent arrived. Its too bad our other players won't bring the attitude I believe that he'll bring.

If that happens, it will be the exact opposite of his play last season.

I don't know - I thought he always gave a lot of hustle - he just sucks talent wise. I also think his engagement probably hurt his focus. Although I don't believe he was as good as his '06-'07 tournament play against OSU.
