Several years ago we'd have a bracket pool of about 15-20 people. Fill out only 1 bracket for $10.00 and winner take all. About 50% of the time a female would win it and most didn't know squat about the teams....seeds...records etc....They'd pick a team based on...That team has a good looking coach so I'll pick them.....That team has pretty uniforms.....That team has a cute mascot etc...etc...and they would win. LOL. Most of the men would get out slide rulers...look up stat sheets...research the internet and we'd be out of it by the 2nd weekend.

Damn, Bru, are u just looking for sh!t to bitch about ? Last week, Plowman only tweets about women's sports. Now u are taking up for all the women's basketball teams because their weight room is not as good as the men's. I mean how much lifting will either SEX really do, right now ? I wouldn't think much

Anyone else have Roku and is trying to stream this game right now?

The video is moving in slow motion as the audio gets further and further ahead.

Unbearable!

Works fine on my phone. Anyone else having that problem?

I’m not on twitter to see the backlash by basketball players. But I heard Gary Parrish briefly this afternoon on radio, and once again, the NCAA apparently doesn’t get it. He said they would avoided all of this if they would have just spent some money. They make $900 million from the tournament. He got a call from an NCAA rep, and they discussed their issues. He said all they had to do was buy a PS5 and accessories for every player at the tournament, and we probably don’t hear a peep about anything. It would have cost approximately $500-600k from the 900 million they make. Also spend just a little more to make sure the food is good.

But the NCAA doesn’t think like that and has incompetent people running it.

Yep and on the women’s side they should have just rented out a golds gym for the tourney for the teams to use.

Dude called into Sports Animal this morning and totally blew the guessing game where the answer was Keon Johnson. Went through all 5 clues, last clue was "currently wears #45 for Vols" and mfer said Pons. The first clue was born in Shelbyville, TN in 2002. Obviously not the 22 year old from France.

But holy crap, did you guys know Keon was in a freak fireworks accident that knocked him unconscious and he almost had his hand amputated?!?!?! Omg, my worst fear as a guitarist 😱😱😱

I am so tired of losing due to effort in multiple sports. It's like there's a culture on campus of "oh well". Also, why do outlr players consistently either jump, or stop their dribble with no plans for the ball? Why do we look like 2 guys walking through a garden with 3 statues on offense? Why do we watch possession after possession of passing the ball around the parameter and end up jacking a 3 due to the time clock? I'm lost......

Chris Holtmann is a name many have thrown around about being a great coach...lost as a 2 today to a 15, in 4 season at Ohio State he’s never made it out of the first weekend...would we still want him?

1.) I graduated from UTK with a 4.0 GPA

2.) My Tourney bracket had TN losing to Oregon St.

3.) I drink myself asleep after most UT Athletic failures

Honestly, I don’t see who White could hire that would make the majority of the fan base happy.

I know we all want an elite coach but there’s very few of those right now.
