Tennessee 76 v. Alabama 59 Basketball - ugh again

[Marshal Dillon]

The game is on ESPN 2 @ 8 pm. Well, I think we can win this one but it will take a complete team effort. I hope the team is not too tired from the Thursday night game. We need a couple of guys to get hot and score 17-19 points each with other players scoring 12-14 points. UT has a strong inside game so we have to block out and hit the boards.

Maymon 6'8" & Stokes 6'8" are bears on the boards.

I never know what to expect from the team anymore but I'll be there hoping they play well. There is one good thing about playing the Vols at home though, I don't have to listen to Rocky Top.

I don't see how they can be tired from the Awbren game, they didn't do anything.

Tennessee will be a tough win but I like our chances since the game is at home. UT has some big guys that can give us trouble.

I hope we have a good crowd like we did last week when we beat LSU.

LOL!! Good points. My biggest concerns is our players being tired and that inside game of UT is very strong. I have seen 2 or 3 games of them playing and they can dominate the inside when they get it going.

I watched parts of the Barn/UGA game and the Barn was in control pretty much all of the game. Unfortunately, with Auburn winning we can't claim our players were too tired if they lose to UT, tonight.
I have a list of potential excuses we can use if we lose:


Our team is young
The team was tired from the Thursday night game. Never mind.
Releford is not 100%
UT always plays better at their place. Never mind, we play in T-town.
The refs cheated us
We need to give Grant more time
It's Verne's & Danielson's fault
The NCAA is after Alabama
We can't get a break


If anyone has any suggestions, please feel to comment.

Why don't we just pull for Bama to win.

I hope the team goes after the UT big men under the basket. Drive right at them and pick up some fouls on them. This would slow down their rebounding efforts. Some outside shooting wouldn't hurt, either.

This is your post in three days that leads me to believe you are an Alabama fan.

Being an Alabama fan means more than cheerleading when a disaster might be encompassing a program you care about. Plus, gallows humor helps relieve the frustration and disappointment of a lost season of high expectations.

No one has ever mistaken you of being a cheerleader. Maybe a friend of our opponent. Why not try being a little more positive?

How will being more "positive" change the reality of the situation? It's my background to deal with facts & reality, not trying to BS myself into believing something else. Like Sgt. Joe Friday said, "just the facts ma'am." I'm waiting for the team to give me a reason to be more positive, like showing some energy & enthusiasm during the game, hustling, and busting their butt.

How are you changing things by being so negative? Most people think the easiest way to change things is having a positive outlook. Not just in basketball but in general.
