Nope. OrangeSquare has convinced me to keep it full-time. :dance2:

Might as well, it further proves you aren't a LOYAL Tennessee fan, and further deminishes your opinion on Fulmer, Tennessee Football and anything else.

(Before you cry that I'm attacking you personally, I understand that some people may "like" Tennessee football and pull for other teams in other sports, and that is fine; certainly your right. But what I mean is that it shows a certain disconnect with the University as a whole, which allows your negativism to creep in on the football side. Fans like me LOVE everything about the University of Tennessee. I live and die with the University and all of the athletic teams. Hopefully that shows why I defend them so harshly at times. I truly believe this is the crux of what makes you and I so different and there isn't anything "WRONG" with either one of our sides. They are just different from each other.)

I'm excited as a Vol fan to be playing Carolina on Friday. To become one of the best, you have to play and compete with the best, and eventually defeat them. Tennessee has everything to gain on Friday and I HATE that I'll be working while the game is on.

Yep. I feel like I should send Bruce Pearl a thank you letter for letting Wright slip out of the state. :)

After seeing the game tonight, I'm far more crestfallen about UT's failure to sign Willie Kemp than I am anything related to Brendan Wright.

Yes, OrangeSquare, we're ALL aware that you're the only true Vols fan walking the Earth. Thanks for telling us yet again.

Well, 423... HUGE night for my Zags. :)

Don't worry, you're just another ranked ACC team the beasts of the WCC have taken down.

By the way, hat, you still think any other team can contend for the WCC title after the way Gonzaga just played?

Yes, I do. Everyone thought Ball State would waltz through the MAC after they beat UCLA and Kansas in Maui a couple of years ago. I think they finished fifth. St. Mary's and LMU didn't get worse just because the Zgas upset UNC.

Yeah, LMU and St. Mary's are good, so it will be a hard road, but I will have to admit that the Zags are a lot better than I thought they were. They could honestly end up being scary good if they continue to play the way they did. Bouldin looks better than Morrison did his freshman year, at least thusfar, and Heytvelt made what many consider to be the best player in the country (Hansborough) look silly at times last night. Add Ravio and Pargo into the mix, I dunno, this may end up being one of the better teams they have put on the court.

while I am thinking about it, basketball polls tend to give bigger jumps to teams after games like that, any chance the Zags hit the top 10 next week if they win the PNIT?

Probably top 15. Maybe top 10. I don't pay much mind to basketball rankings, I don't think they mean much.
