Vols v Shockers Official Game Thread

Lord please give me the strength to not punch this t-shirt KU fan straight in his "F"ing jaw.

Here's the deal. Cooz and Company Shocked the Vols after Tennessee got lucky and beat 3G's team with a lucky corner shot at the end of the previous round at the Big Dance. Today, as always, not only was I happy Baker could play, not at all surprised when Carter was cleaning glass sparkly clean, and our 3rd point guard named Cotton was taking charge, we in Shocker Nation are blessed to have 3G has our Coach.

Someone explain to me why that Tennessee board is having a full-blown nervous breakdown. That team is likely to be pretty damn good. They lost to a top ten team on the road, and they act like they lost to UMKC.

B.C.S. BS Arrogance.

I still have issues with all the bruises FVV will have that didn't get called. Other than that, one ref favored TN (older guy with dark dyed hair), one favored WSU (younger bald guy), and one favored basketball.

Guess what? We kept turnovers to a mild roar against I think an improved Vol team. Furthermore, I know we are an improved and healthier team in comparison to this juncture last Season. Whad-about-u?

Can not say enough about Ron Baker today.
As Jimmy Dykes mentioned (who is very, very good), 90% of college players would not have even tried to play today. He was in serious pain and still toughed it out.

Looking for a definition of tough?

Today it was #31.

That is all.

Probably because their team continually underachieves comparef to their fan's expectations. I think there have been times before HCGM where we have felt that way.

I am sure some fans have a problem losing to a "Mid-major", but props to UT for stepping up and playing us.

Will be rooting for them the rest of the way.

another record

.... we in Shocker Nation are blessed to have 3G has our Coach.

jimmy dykes(?) made a very insightful comment. to wit, paraphrase: even when wichita state is playing bad, they don't give in to it. they try to fight 100% through it.

bravo. that's marshall coaching in a nutshell. wichita state DOES NOT get blown out, even when they have a sub-par night/day of basketball. they are always in the game, no matter what.. like last year at tennesse, vol fans.

crowd of 14,356

Another record that will also be surpassed some fine day.

As long as Tekele Cotton is on the floor. We have a chance.

Very long story...he randomly sat at our table at EB's. He was losing an argument and called us f**gots as he walked away....thanks for being a buzz kill buddy.

You got to think Carter earned himself a starting role after that game.

[proshox]

Which is why we don't get teams like this in CKA.

??????? Great atmosphere. 40% more fans than Koch.... Way more energy.
