Huge win! Lets finish the regular season just like tonight against UGA.

If I was one of the other 13 SEC coaches I'd back Holly too. I remember Saban saying a couple of times he thought Dooley was doing a real good job at UT. I'm sure he hoped Dooley would be at UT for several years. He lucked out again when we hired Botch.

I hate the conference tourney.....hate it. It's all about the money. Play all season long then in the course of 4 days you get hot and win the thing then you get to walk around with your chest out. IIRC a few years back UGA came into the tourney with a losing record...got hot and won the damn thing and went to the Dance....Also hate the auto bids if you win the tourney.

And...don't sleep on KY in the SECT. They are playing better and I won't be surprised if they do well.

I know, but imo it's a "the chicken or the egg" deal where his frustration causes him to be visibly frustrated and more mouthy, which like someone else said is going to rub the refs the wrong way and lead to him getting fewer 50/50 calls.  He's gotta learn to suck it up and play.  Which I know he does most of the time, it's not like he's a bad guy or anything... but he's been obviously off his game for awhile now.

Pretty much what Barnes said about Williams in the postgame.....Said he needs to learn to play smarter. Barnes was too happy with the way we played coming out of the half. He said they talked about playing smart at the half and they did anything but play smart coming out the 2nd half. Barnes said that by Feb. you'd thing the players would have figured that out by now....Also said our offense has to improve.

I've read? Where he likes to run his mouth on the floor. If true, I wonder if that's gotten him on the refs bad side? It has to be something because 50% of his fouls are very iffy.

OM got it to under 10 now.

UT needs a 'Special' crane.

I'm hearing NCAA enforcement is REALLY pissed.  So pissed, in fact, that they're going to HAMMER Utah State and Rider.

They'll add 5 more years to Donnie Tyndall's show cause.

Wonder if the NCAA will keep turning a blind eye to this crap? Got a feeling the Feds have fired a shot across the NCAAs bow and telling them to clean this crap mess up or you're next on our list.

JMO on our chances in the last 3 games based on how we've played the past 2 weeks.

Ole Miss 55-45% UT. We don't usually play well there and they will be out to make up for that beatdown we gave them.

Miss St. 60-40 Miss State

UGA 60-40 UT

Glad we decided to play some defense.

Barnes is 1-6 against UGA.

On a milk carton.

McLemore for AU looks to have a bad ankle injury.....He's a key player for them too.

USC is hot...need to keep it up. If Auburn is cold from the 3 they are screwed.....they shoot about 50 of them a game.

I've read that in Butch's buyout contract he has to seek gainful employment of like kind....After a year if he hasn't done it our legal department should stop future checks.

And we all know what that "something" is.  I've been beating this horse for the past four years, but I've given up.  There's no way Fulmer will do what needs to be done.

Yep.....She's driving the program right into the ditch and our admin is letting it happen. Bama went 30 years without beating us but now owns 4 in a row and Holly yet sets another record tonight giving Bama their first win in Knoxville in history with far less talent and came into the game with a 5-7 conference record and 15-10 overall.

per reports from several sources . Announcement coming.

If true he will be a good asset.

Bob Welton is out now too.

I'm holding out for Randy Sanders 

Didn't he get the HC job at ETSU?

When you look at the salary numbers that came out it might help your understanding
My suspicion is this was planned from the get go, that he would stay though signing day to help the transition, then move on

Yep.....He signed a 2 year contract last year that will run out in a another year and his salary wasn't going to change under his current contract. IMO there was going to be a change there sooner than later.

Agree with all.  I had us pegged at 11-7 in the SEC before beating UK.  We are currently 8-4 with 6 games left.

I think 12-6 is a reasonable guess, and far better than we were projected to do.

You can't understate beating Kentucky in Rupp, that was huge.  Only the 7th time we have won there, which is actually surprising.

But...I think UK is not that great this year and the win might have inflated expectations a bit.  I will be happy with 12-6, but really hope we do better.

A little tidbit I didn't know until I read it after the Bama game....I said all week leading up to the game that we seem to never play well at Bama no matter our coach or our players...how good we are or how bad Bama is. We are 18-45 all time against Bama at Bama. That's just unreal!

UGA at UGA isn't a given either and we don't always play well there .......Miss State at State will be a tough one.....Florida....Ole Miss can be tough to beat there. If we don't bring our A game I can see 4-2 or 3-3.

Didn't feel good about this game all week.....I thought we had a better chance of beating KY at KY than we did beating Bama at Bama.....We don't match up well with Bama and we seem to never play well down there.

I've tried to hold down my excitement on our basketball team because I know this team can go South in a hurry if they don't bring their A game....Been a great season but won't be surprised if we lose some more and our history in the SECT isn't very good. We need to understand we are now the hunted and not the hunter.....we aren't use to being the hunted and we need to man up because it only gets harder. Bama punched us in the mouth early and we never responded..
