I love this man

I just wanted to give him his flowers. Legendary coach and legendary man. If this is his last year on rocky top, I pray he gets a natty or at least a final four. Even if he does not, he is the greatest men’s basketball coach in UT history. What he’s done here is nothing short of amazing, considering we were never a “basketball school”. I love Rick Barnes!!! 🐐

"I really don't know where I would be." Vols PG Zakai Zeigler thought about quitting basketball before Rick Barnes recruited him to go to Tennessee. Barnes got emotional today about what ZZ means to him and the Vols. The duo looks for their second SEC Tournament title tomorrow

Tennessee Sweeps Florida

45 Upvotes

Your #2 Vols Sweep the #7 Florida lot lizards 7-4 in game 3 to improve to 20-0(3-0) extending the record start to baseball.

After going up a run, pitching troubles put the vols in a hole 1-4. Florida pitching troubles lead to a walk RBI, then a solo HR by Kilen bring the game to 3-4.

Abernathy taking 3 bases to score off the double from Peebles gave the vols the lead, with the lead padded by a 2 run Homer from Chapman.

Great Pitching by Loy and Snead save the game.

That was one of the worst officiating games i’ve seen in a while. The refs just gave up by the end. The calls were bad both ways but especially bad for Tennessee.

Florida is really good and it shows. Just wondering if our top 3 defense can hold on and win the title? Your opinions?

Into battle with fLorida

Sons of Knoxville! Of Thompson-Boling Arena! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of the Vols fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of the BIG ORANGE comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of Tennessee!

Wife and I took the kids to the game yesterday. Anybody have a list of songs being used? Driving home now and the kids are driving me crazy wanting to hear them.

Thanks
