For some reason I am not feeling this game, I think they match up well with us and I am envisioning alot of shot getting packed in our players faces.

Agree, I see them beating us on the boards and blocking a lot of shots. . .but I hope I am wrong and we pull a win out of our baggy shorts. . .

I am looking forward to going to this game and cheering the Vols on in this critical game. I am going to drag some fellow students along as well.

I love how older fans always take shots at the students, when the students who frequent these boards are the ones actually going to the games. The ones who don't go could care less what some old alumnus thinks of them or their "generation."

I'm a student as well. I love basketball and have been at almost every single game this year. It is hard however, to make it to some games knowing that you have to sit outside for up to 2 hours sometimes just to get a decent seat. I love sports, but I'm in college to get a degree, not wait outside for basketball tickets. Go to a distribution system like football and more will show up.

Agreed. But what do we know? Our generation is just so inferior to the previous ones. :whistling:

Student attendance sucks this year. So what? It sucked in football too. You'll see that as the season progresses for both sports that attendance regresses.

If we're playing well, then students are more likely to skip studying or skip a class to go. If we're playing badly then the student is going to say "well we suck this year and I need to study".

I graduated last year and went to games frequently. I don't appreciate their effort this year and would have been less inclined to go if I had academics to work on. Put a product on the court and they will come.

I think the point on student attendance is this: If you are a fan, and are able to go to the games (whether it is basketball or football), then you go. You go in good times and bad. This is true of non students as well. What is this crap that you only go if the team is winning? This is called being a fair-weather fan. I know what the comeback will be on this...I can't support poor effort, yada yada yada. Well, I am a Tennessee fan thick and thin, good and bad. If you support college athletics for long, you will go through both.

If we lose this game we might as well pack it up and head in. This is by far the most critical game we have had so far, not the most popular, but the most critical.

MSU - 75
TN - 62

I hope they prove me wrong but I have a feeling its going to be another beat down

Wow, talk about a team in need of a win. The Vols return to the friendly confines of TBA tonight after a tough week on the road. After two blow out losses in a row, can the Vols right the ship against the 'Dogs? If they want to go dancing, then this is a must win game if there ever was one. Vols 69 - 65 in a close one.

These scores seem way too low.

I'm thinking this will be a lot like the LSU game.

84-76 MSU...the way we're playing.

In regards to the student attendance, I went to pretty much all the games when I was there but it was tough trying to drag others to many of the games.

The fact is a lot of people care about booze just as much as the Vols and when one loses its luster and you can have both, they take both.

Same thing happened in football.

I will most likely start out watching the Vols but if they fold up like a cheap tent, ESPN has 4 outstanding games on that I will be watching.

Yep, I'm going to watch the first 15 minutes and if it's the SSDD, I'm directing my attention elsewhere.

I think we would have a better student section if they just passed out beer/shots in the lines to get your ID scanned.

I never realized we had so many fair weather fans around here. :)

Freak, this is the same thing I posted about here a few minutes ago. It's getting a bit too much. And it's not just win, it's win and you better look good doing it too or else I am not going to watch/support it.

Let me clarify one thing. Being supportive does not mean you can not be critical of something. Hey, call a spade a spade, but don't throw the towel in on YOUR team. This basketball team has been a labor of love this season, there is no doubt. But even if they miss the dance and go to the NIT, you bet I will still want them to win. Am I disappointed Bruce has not recruited to his needs better, yeah. But my hope is he will get better, this team will get better or I am sure the powers-that-be will replace him. And if they do, I get behind the next regime and we move on. Just wanted to clarify, sorry for rambling on.
