Just dropped by to say Kentucky sucks! That said, my mom and aunt came down and surprised us last night for the weekend. Now they're going to get stuck here for a couple of extra days because of snow .

Hunkerdown and keep them warm!

I'll let'em all freeze before I "hunker" anything!

It’s a term we use on the gulf coast when they hang the hurricane warning flags.

I live in Georgia, and these yahoos use it for football, and I hate Georgia

…I can recall it being used a lot growing up, I know both my dad and coach Brewster used the term freely. Seems like coach Majors and JW used it liberally, with regard to oblongie thingie.

Well I’m at the game. Live in Lexington and got last minute tickets. Hope my away game attendance W/L record improves. 3 Florida football games, 1 Georgia football game, 1 Kentucky BBALL . 1-4

 

[TJVol95]

We will know in the first 4 minutes how this one will go.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Watching Powell shoot in warm ups. Such a smooth stroke. Hope we can get him involved.

 

[johnboyhunter]

And Kentucky players practicing FT in warmup. Think we would be? Nope.

 

[BreatheUT]

Kentucky is too big, strong and athletic inside. The Vols have too many post projects that haven't panned out. I expect an L.

Yeah, I’m hoping we beat the cats but I’m not too optimistic.
GBO!!

Need to pay close attention right before tipoff to who will rupperee today’s game.

Does it really matter? They’re all going to be homers

[johnboyhunter]

5 minutes to tip off and still 20% seats open. Little surprised.

 

[1985Vols]

If he’s given a chance to play more than 3 minutes, that is. The UK game is not the time to earn trust and PT.

Big time players show out in big time games

Are students back?

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Time for some string music in Lexington, KY.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Well crap, Joe B Hall died today so we will probably get blown out . Didn’t know he was still alive .

 

[johnboyhunter]

Are students back?

It’s filling up, but still more seats open than expected. Not sure about students

 

[Volstylexx]

Heard from the team they are pissed at all the nega Vols here taking cheap shots at them and their coach. Chandler and Fulky have HUGE games today. Santi let’s it fly. VOLS by 11.

If we don't let them get an 8-10 lead early then I think we can hang with them.

I thought our guard play would be much better at this point in the year.

I even thought we'd seen more improved post play. We got 2 of the 3 freshmen post that can't even get on the court.

 

[Bigorange123]

Rupparena.com has a lot of new info on their improvements. Looks nice. Capacity reduced to 20,545.

As many bricks as we are gonna force Kensucky to shoot, they will probably add another edition..

 

[cobbwebb0710]

UK is a stone cold lock. Get all your losses back today. Take the kats minus 4.5 - 5 . Hate it but it is what it is. Tenn's inside game will be non existent vs uks front line. Ky by 10-15.

If UK is to win, it’ll be from the free throw line.
I can already tell you how this will go.
Their bigs we be allowed to play very physical and Fulky and Chandler will pick up a couple of early, cheap fouls.
Near the end of the first half, the Vols will get a few non factor calls to “even it out.”
2nd half we will try to shoot our way out of the deficit and UK pulls away.
Prove me wrong Vols!!
GBO!!

Go enjoy your afternoon. Check back later !
