20 minutes till game time.

STAN HEATH IS THE ONLY SEC COACH THAT BRUCE PEARL HAS NEVER BEATEN.

[Hogtropolis™]

Interesting stat ayce

[Hogtropolis™]

TT is up on OSU 28-23 right now.  I know it probably won't matter, but it is always good when teams we have played win.

[wirebender25]

The end is near for Heath.

[lumphog]

Is the game televized?

[Hognabit]

STAN HEATH IS THE ONLY SEC COACH THAT BRUCE PEARL HAS NEVER BEATEN.

Considering this is Pearls second year, today could be the end of that stat.

[Hogtropolis™]

Is the game televized?

yes, LFS is carrying it.

[allyoucaneatbuffet]

The end is near for Heath.

perhaps, but if we finish 19-11 and win ONE in the sect we are in.

mark my words.

we lose @ vandy we'd ahve to get to the sect finals to make it.

and oh yeah, if heath gets to 18 wins, he is safe till 08

ask the BOT, fellas, its true.  heard it.

[Hogtropolis™]

If we win this game it will really help our SOS and RPI.  Without looking I think I remember that Tenn is #15 in the RPI and has a SOS of #5.

I'm getting to the point to where I don't care if he stays or goes, I just want to win.  I also think that if he is here for 08 we should keep him for 09 also, or that could end up being a nightmare for our recruiting (esp since we will have 8 scholarships to offer).

[PennHOG]

LFS is playing the band.  Cool

[Hogtropolis™]

There is a good chance that we will win the next two, but there's a slim chance that we win at Vandy.  We just can't get it done on the road for some reason.

[Bomis Hawg]

McCurdy, Beverley, Weems, Townes, Hill are the starting five.

[Hogtropolis™]

Interesting starting 5

[Hogtropolis™]

I'll be willing to bet that SH wins the tip

[Hogtropolis™]

lets start it off right...

[Hogtropolis™]

that won't get it done

[whatsshakinbacon]

Since when has a height mismatch been a good thing for this team?

[Hogtropolis™]

this apprears that it will be a fun game to watch

[Bomis Hawg]

Weems with the two-handed jam.

Arkansas 2-0

[whatsshakinbacon]

WEEMS!

2-0

[Bomis Hawg]

McCurdy has started the game well.

[Hogtropolis™]

nice job mccurdy

[Bomis Hawg]

Wayne Chism with the lay-up

Tied 2

[Hogtropolis™]

Chism will have a good game IMO

[whatsshakinbacon]

sparse crowd today, looks like about 1/2-2/3 full.

[Zen_Hog]

That's gay. On teh guide their showing Arkansas and Tennessee, but I flipped to it and it's showing the Georgia game.

[Bomis Hawg]

Steven Hill called with a foul.  I think he hit the wind a little too hard.

[Bomis Hawg]

Lofton from Way down town.

Tennessee 5-2

[Bomis Hawg]

Nice shot, Townes.

[Bomis Hawg]

Lofton with a solid up-and-under.

Tenn 7-2.

[Hogtropolis™]

we gotta get ervin in to guard lofton

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

sparse crowd today, looks like about 1/2-2/3 full.

Very lame indeed I was worried about that.

[weevilhogg]

mccurdy may be slow as christmas, but he's our leading rebounder with 3 boards.

[Bomis Hawg]

Hill with a turnover....  Lofton with another lay-up.

Vols up 9-2

[whatsshakinbacon]

Boy, we look flatter than unleavened bread today.

[Bomis Hawg]

McCurdy being the leading rebounder = long rebounds or lack of going for the ball by our bigs.

[weevilhogg]

i noticed there must be 19 pounds of tape on Hill's hamstring.

[Bomis Hawg]

Another turnover.

[Bomis Hawg]

JaJuan Smith with a 11-0 run, leading 11-2.

[Hogtropolis™]

We suck!!!

[94 Hawg]

yep, were fired up and ready to play!

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Man the more shots of the crowd they show the worse it looks.  If this game gets out of hand it could get real empty real fast.

[Bomis Hawg]

Arkansas has 4 turnovers, Tennennssee has 0.

Vols have scored 7 pts from those turnovers.  Ouch.

[ICEman]

Convinced yet?

[Bomis Hawg]

Vols have not missed a 2pt. 

[94 Hawg]

look @ all the empty seats in the lower level

[Hogtropolis™]

we are horrible against ball pressure

[Ulysses_S_Grunt]

yay weems, he's good
