John Chavis has some splainin' to do. This is a great rip job by Ron Higgins. He even gets a 3rd and Chavis reference in here, though he doesn't use the term. Link

Leslie Cikra will join me today against the backdrop that UT President Dr Joe DiPietro slapped down the gathering storm aimed at Tennessee AD in the past week. We've documented the attack on Hart from the Tennessean and identified the Lady Vol tie in that reporting even before the level of the beef against Hart came to light. It's obvious that the Tennessean is/was gunning for Hart. I use two verbs there because I'm of the belief that they are simply lying in wait for the next shoe to drop before ratcheting up the pressure.

In the meantime, we can confirm through several sources that DiPeitro has strongly encouraged/rebuked some powerful folks around this state (including some on the UT Board of Trustees) to stay out of the Lady Vol nickname controversy. DiPietro is calling it a done deal and a non-starter. This is a huge win for Dave Hart. Has he heard the last of these folks? Not by a long shot. Hart leaves ammunition there to be used against him because he has the self awareness of Kanye West. We will visit with Leslie and see where her movement goes from here.



For the record, I believe that Hart has handled this about as poorly as humanly possible. He showed horrible tone deafness toward these folks in the execution of this move. He didn't even attempt to build a coalition or get support from the programs and athletes impacted. NOTHING.


Making matters worse for Hart's cause is the unfair decision to allow the Lady Vol Basketball team to keep the moniker 'Lady Vol' but no other team on campus. No matter where you stand on this issue, that's pretty poor in terms of execution.


I stand 100% with Leslie Cikra in her cause and don't mind one bit giving her some air time today. Nor do I mind linking to her site for you to peruse. Link

Tennessee is offering kids in 2017. They are the first offer for Corey Malone-Hatcher. Link


Malone-Hatcher looks a little like Bruno Mars. Let's hope he gets here and he's in the spot on Saturday night. Link


Ken Pomeroy thinks UGA has the best chance to beat UK of anyone on their schedule. UK opened as a 10.5 point favorite. Ready for a play? Take the Cats to flat out crush UGA. Don't believe the hype.


Virginia is a threat to beat UK if they can get that far simply because they can play some mean defense. Cavs are the first ever non-North Carolina school to win back to back ACC Basketball titles. Link

I'll admit it. Mark Cuban is a guilty pleasure. Link


Oklahoma blew a 20 point lead with 15 minutes left in losing at Iowa State last night. The win gives Kansas its 11th consecutive Big Ten Title. They clinched at least a share last night. That's some amazing consistency. The Sooners had an all time choke job last night. They were actually up 21 at one point before losing 77-70. That's a 28 point swing, a 49-22 run in the second half. Kansas has now won 15 of 17 regular season conference titles. At what point do you quit hanging banners? They're going to run out of room up there in Fog Allen.


Winners and losers at the NHL trade deadline. Notice you won't see the Preds here but you will see my Flyers. Link

Caitlin Clark

We can now officially congratulate Caitlin Clark on breaking the record for the most points scored in women’s basketball!

Caitlin Clark is the biggest superstar in college basketball (men’s or women’s). That’s not just me being a fan, Caitlin Clark is HER! Caitlin scored 49 points on February 15th to pass Kelsey Plum’s NCAA record for the most career points in women’s college basketball..... [more]
It's a Love Story
Posted: Wed, Feb 14th, 11:23 AM
Jared (the redneck from Roanoke, VA) thought the Taylor Swift coverage would end with the Super Bowl, but this love story isn’t going anywhere. In a game that was four hours and 18 minutes (that’s a total of 15,480 seconds). Swift only appeared for around 55 seconds! 55 SECONDS from the moment the game kicked off to the overtime touchdown.

Missouri Game Preview

The Vols did what they were expected to do against UConn. There's not really much to say about that game. The game this Saturday in Columbia, Missouri will decide whether or not this season is a failure in my opinion. If they Vols lose, they are staring at 8-4 and probably the Gator Bowl. Maybe Reliaquest..... [more]
Connecticut Game Preview

by Josh
The Vols are coming back to Neyland Stadium and I am returning after a discretionary bye week. I'll be honest with you. This year it seems like I've been writing the same preview over and over because the formula to win has been the same pretty much every SEC game. I didn't want to sound like a broken record so I needed a bit of a break from that.

I'll start with some general observations..... [more]
