With a few different teams from FLA in the tournament this year, I think it's important for outside fan bases to understand we (UF) are still the best team in the state this year. We pounded FSU and a bunch of the directional FLA schools back in the winter before SEC play got underway; clearly establishing our superiority. So, even though FSU made a little noise by winning the ACC tournament, we should recognize that the ACC is obviously down this year (Lehigh beat Duke tonight, we destroyed UVA) and the Noles really aren't that good.
P.S. It'd be a nice show of class for fan bases like the Vols - who really have no dog in this fight - to cheer for their SEC East brethren to advance deep into the tournament. For instance, the whole nation will be cheering for a Norfolk State upset on Sunday, so it'd be nice to know the Vols have our backs as we play the role of Cinderella killers and crush their dreams. Same for UK...everyone will be gunning for them and I'm sure it'd be a nice boost of morale for some of their fans like Brian McCat, Papa, etc., who frequent these boards to sign on and see some messages of support from the Vols. There's a great chance for the SEC to have the football (Bama), basketball (UK or us), and baseball (us or maybe South Carolina, but more likely us this time) national titles this year. The Vols should be proud of these achievements because a rising tide lifts all boats.

Big Boi- They went on a run because the ACC was weak. The Noles wouldn't have beaten Vanderbilt, UK, or us this year. I predict Cincinnati knocks them out; but if not, then definitely Ohio St. Their team is a fraud.
OrangeBalls- I think that's a disappointing attitude. The Vols gain nothing by Norfolk beating us, Iowa St beating Kentucky, or even Wisconsin beating Vandy. I'd like to see a little more enthusiasm from the Vols for the SEC teams still playing. For instance, I came over here today interested to read about what the UT fans were saying about our strong showing against UVA and there were only like 1 or 2 comments on the game. Had UVA beaten us, I bet there would've been an entire thread making fun of us. It was the same thing in football - Vol fans didn't even acknowledge our bowl win over the Buckeyes. It would just be nice to see a little more enthusiasm for a fellow SEC East competitor.

Thanks for the sermon. I'd rather pour acid in my eyes than pull for any other SEC team. F em all. You pull against them all year long and during the season and all of a sudden we're supposed to pull for our conference brethren? Screw that nonsense. I have never understood that SEC loyalty bullsh*t. I hope they all lose. You think any of them pull for UT when they're in the tourney?Hardly.
