Pacman! 

They said today on SECN that they are keeping the 9 game schedule for 2026 possible by doing this

It's like it was planned.

I'm sayin! 

"I just hope St. Peter's doesn't have a nun in their corner."

"Why don't we get our own nun? The least it would do is cancel out the nun opponents bring. Maybe put Smokey in a wheelchair and put a shaw around him?" 

 

Three Alabama teams sent to the far West....Sanford to Utah. 

Love it

Winning the SECT just does not affect seeding. It's too late.

"please stop laughing"

Okay, but now I AM laughing 

Btw I used to work at a now-extinct big box electronics retailer back in the day. And for some reason we also sold mattresses. As you may or may not be aware, mattresses have the highest margins of nearly any big household purchase you can make. A $9k mattress probably only costs a couple hundred bucks to manufacture.

So why are we not all in the mattress business? 

Stayed in a Hilton a few years back that had the best mattress I had ever slept on. I got back home after a few days and I called the Hilton where I stayed to find out the mattress brand....I got it and looked it up.....it costs more than my car did. 

   Wow, that's crazy!  I can definitely settle for less than that.   

I hope he's real good in a loss....and then transfer to UT. 

 

A UK fan told me this morning at church that earlier this season Calipari said that the current UK team "is a March team".  So....

What did the regular season SEC Championship get them yesterday? I didn't see Knecht pointing to his ring finger yesterday.

LMAO!

Read verrrryyy sllloooowwwlyyyy

It.

Got.

Us.

A REGULAR SEC CHAMPIONSHIP!!!


But OMFG!  How dense are you?

Listen Virginia...it's hard to win an SEC Championship. let alone be SOLE champion. UT has accomplished this 3 times in the last 50 years.  Its a moment to be treasured.

Seriously...did you take a hit on the head when you were a child, or do you just sniff glue habitually? 

I CANT BELIEVE...I have to explain this to you. 

What a fizzleing dumbass.    (Droner I know name calling is a violation of board rules...but COME ON!!!   )

I think I heard 18 #1 seeds have lost.

What is their motivation?  Why wear themselves out in the conference tourney when they are (at least in the bigger conferences) a lock for the dance?

Medlock is the last of the (semi) originals
He rocked out last night
Also has plenty of newer tats

By the end of Freebird I felt I was in Blue Oyster Cult:  "My ears will melt, then my eyes ..."
For those unfamiliar with BOC, that line is from Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll, which is my favorite song from them
(The wife hates it when I play Cities on Flame as I attempt to find numbers above 10 on the volume dial)

Other BOC other songs I like:
Hot Rails to Hell
Dominance and Submission (won't find it on many playlists but I love it)
Then Came the Last Days of May
(Don't Fear) the Reaper (much more "pop" than their normal style)
This Ain't the Summer of Love
Godzilla (whoops, there went Tokyo!)
Burnin for You


The opening act was Black Stone Cherry
Wasn't fond of them at all
Their drummer seemed to think that banging the drums as hard as he could was the proper way to play them (spoiler alert, it is not)

Not a huge fan of BOC, they are a bit too literally "cult" for me.  I used to think that Don't Fear the Reaper advocated teen suicide, but then I read an interview where the lead singer said it just means literally what it says...don't fear death.  Doesn't mean its not a pretty creepy song though.   

Burnin for You is a great song...don't know many other BOC songs. 

I might give Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll a listen, since you tout it so highly.

Are you talking about the "missagin" that just won the NC in football?

If so, you're going to have to explain that one 

Is Jauan Jennings eligible for basketball?   

Teams already in the tourney with a high seed, just aren't that motivated.  And I suspect most coaches don't care for the conference tourneys, in fact both Barnes and Calipari are on the record saying they would rather not play it.  That can't help but get into the heads of the players, IMO.

I think Vols will do much better in the Big Dance, now that the almost meaningless conference tourney is over. 

I guess we will see. 

I took a cruise of Scandanavia last year on Carnival.  Whatever mattress was on that bed was amazing.  Don't know what it was though. 

I had accepted we were a no. 2 seed after we lost to UK.  I am mildly surprised anyone was still discussing it.   

I just hope lil brother (assuming he is younger) is nowhere near as good as ZZ

Awaka was a walking turnover. 

Not unusual for him, unfortunately

Actually, unless you need to win the conference tournament to get into the NCAA's, the conference tournament means practically nothing.

As I've said before, do away with it.

I agree, but the troll was talking about the regular season championship.  That absolutely means something, particularly when its not a tie.

100%...they were not motivated

It looks more and more like first round Rick is gonna rear his head. If you mean he has us winning regular season SEC championships that don't mean anything really, then yep, we are flying high.

Your statement that "wiinning SEC Champions"....don't "mean anything" really doesn't require any response.  Its beyond idiotic.  SMH....

I was only partially watching on my phone at  a restaurant, so did not have the greatest view, but one of the bigger factors is we seemed to just let them drive and lay it in.

I am not really saying it was deliberate, but Barnes is on record as not liking the SECT.  I am going to stick to that being a factor.

Let's see how they do the tourney that matters.
