Re: Couple of questions & a comment

I believe the second call was for excessive celebration on the receiver. I didn't see it but the TV guy said that's what it was for.

We DID have preseason practices..right?

Hard to tell from the level of play last night.
VU certainly played well enough to lose. Luckily, the Rainbow Warriors outdid us in that category, as well as most others in the game.
A win is a win, but this one seems to be a harbinger of a dismal future.

A mere bagatelle. Producing a recent 11-2 record is well worth the price.

Laughable NCAA enforcement strikes again

Current NCAA rules and penalty guidelines require a one- or two-year postseason ban for a Level I-standard case," the NCAA said Friday. "However, in January 2022, NCAA members adopted a new constitution that states divisional regulations should ensure 'to the greatest extent possible that ...

Re: New NCAA rule change for the tournament

It appears that this alleged rule is not in effect.
In the Lexington regional KY (#1 seed) and home team in first game, and Indiana (#3seed and road team) in second game, both won.
On Saturday Indiana is the home team.

Re: How does NIL work?

Currently, not very well. I will predict the future here..... Consider the history of major league baseball. In the early years, the teams owned the players in virtual involuntary servitude. As the $$$ grew, the players eventually organized and for a while were in charge. Finally the players organiz...

Re: After a good start for the season

There once was a girl,
who had a little curl,
right in the center of her forehead.

When she was good,
she was very, very good,
but when she was bad,
she was horrid.

Sounds like the baseball team.

Explain how this is cheating, even technically.
Can teams not use any pitcher they wish? Is it different in tennis?

Re: Rather basic questions about the "portal"

they may be academically ineligible for next year....

Are you kidding? Since the idiotic North Carolina ruling by the NCAA, has any player the coach wanted to play ever been ruled "academically" ineligible?

What an innovative coach. How in the world could he find a rule to break these days? After all what could he do...offer a McDonald's bag full of money? No that's OK. Offer to give him a degree without his ever having to go to class? No, that's OK too. Immunity from prosecution unless he is actually ...

Interestingly, that shot came as the result of a missed Georgia dunk on a breakaway that would have sealed the game for Georgia.

Re: Tennessee in trouble

About passing up the dunk.....I would speculate that the last thing the UTK coach said before sending them back on the floor was "Whatever you do, don't shoot the ball...make them foul." How many times have you seen that last "unmissable" dunk or layup get missed in the last seco...

Re: Ranking of Vandy wins

The 2008 win over #1 UT is probably the best ever win over the orange. We've had other wins over #1, but UT makes it special. Tied at 1a was the win over #1 NC in 1987. (Most memorable moment for that game...Boots Randolph played the national anthem....and the crown went wild!) The '67 trifecta ment...
