***Arkansas (16-11, 5-8) vs. Tennessee (19-9, 7-6) Game Thread***

[Bomis Hawg]

Not if our first matchup is with an in state school!

Unless they let teams in with ..500 or close records, won't matter.

[PiggyBack]

HOLY CRAP!!!

[BigArkyintheRock]

Outcoached + Outplayed = Outscored

[hOUSTon NUTT]

damn

[ineverlose]

We did it! We made the BIG 25 TURNOVERS!!

[ErieHog]

Is there any way Stan stays after this debacle?

I don't see him going anywhere, no matter what happens.

If we lose out and don't win an SEC game, no way he stays.

There's going to have to be prioritization on the Hill.   As it is, they are paying Nolan for one more year; if they fire Heath, they'll be paying for Heath too, plus the new guy.  If Nutt goes, they're paying out the nose, and for a new coach.

Yes, the program is relatively flush;  no, there aren't enough teats for all the little piggies that will have to be suckled if a housecleaning happens.

Enjoy.

NIT = No one Interested Tournament



Will we accept an NIT bid? I can't see us having too much pride, so I don't think that's an issue.

good game

[Squealers]

Excuse me whilst I go puke.

[LJHOG]

what was the final score

[leavenworth1]

Stan has taken all the fun out of Hog ball.  I'm really apathetc now.  Let's email the BOT and tell them what we think of Stan's effort.  I think they'll have bigger ears to hear stuff on Stan than they did for Nutt. 

[Squealers]

good game

What?

UT Fan, so its a good game.

[hogsailor]

so someone come up with an argument to keep heath, besides he's a good man...

that was pitiful...

[The_Bionic_Pig]

good game

Thanks good luck the remainder of your schedule...your a good ambassador for the Vol Nation...see ya in Knoxville this fall.

[Pignominious]

what was the final score

I think it was 83-72  who cares we suck

[RunDMCforHeisman]

We should hire a Banana as our next coach, or an apple, a trash can, just anything else that could motivate our players a little bit more than SH

Yep
Can't wait till Nov 10th....

WE GOT OUTCOACHED BY BRUCE FREAKIN PEARL

And that's a surprise?

Pearl is overrated.  But no surprise that Heath is outcoached by anyone.

He's won 20 games for 20 years....

[alohawg]

If this same group were representing another school what would you think of them?

[LJHOG]

25 turnovers ......... boy those presses really mess you up!!

[ICEman]

good game

How?  Do you consider 25 Razorback turnovers the sign that both teams had a good game!  Unilateral good game that should be.

[rupert]

Stan Heath is clueless..funny that out of their timeout, UT runs a great play that results in a lay-up..after our time-out at the crucial moment we throw it in bounds to an inexperienced freshman who gets it stolen from him..was there even a play called?   

McCurdy killed us today--I have no clue why he gets to see the court at all--he was gosh-awful

there is no chance that Stan will ever get any better..and I hate that ..but he has got to go

[missippihog]

good game

Good game man. For the Vols anyway. Any win for another team in BWA is a good win for them.

[HeyBC]

You guys are intense. It was fun watching the posts just pour in like you-know-what out of a boot. Arkansas basketball is a lot like TN was the year we fired Buzz Peterson. I hope you guys keep Heath just to keep things evened out in the SEC.

[ICEman]

Stan did not show up for his post game radio interview???

Doesn't sound like it.

good game

Good game, for you vol fans. Any win in BWA is good for the opposing team.

Exactly...
We didn't go. We just had a baby, last week, but now that we won, I wish I'd gone.

[dhornjr1]

We lost because we couldn't break a press....wow. 

Funny thing is, we used to WIN because the other team couldn't break a press.

Would you if you were him?

Congrats on the baby too. Good luck the rest of the way, unless we meet in the SECT.

Isn't it funny that you never hear the announcers say anything good about heath's coaching...

Talk about depressing? When Heath is fired, he needs to take the team with him.

[chiefsfan]

Enjoy.

Not if our first matchup is with an in state school!

no worries.  UALR isnt eligible and NIT wont take ASU.   You will have the oppurtunity to watch Arkansas continue sucking against other teams

However if you want an instate matchup...   womens is a very very good possibility again this year

[chiefsfan]

Talk about depressing? When Heath is fired, he needs to take the team with him.

If he does go, he needs to leave Patrick Beverly and Charles Thomas here...   He can have the rest, including Darian Townes who is the only person I know besides myself that can airball a layup

[hogsailor]

It's funny, I think this is the first time in a LONG time there are more threads about heath than nutt on the first page...

[ErieHog]

You had to mention it, didn't you?   Now its going to change :l

[Karma]

If we don't fire Heath after this season, the athletic dept. is just as fricked up as all of you have been saying it is.
