Heck, Those Heels Are Out Of Control, Consarn It
Silly East Regional, with your whole going-according-to-seed business: This absolutely will not do. That said, of the four teams hanging around Charlotte next week — wait ... is that North Carolina ... in Charlotte? Boo! — a definitive pecking order has already emerged. That is to say: Don't bet on Tennessee. More »

Love to Love You, Lovedale. Oh, And: WKU!
Storming The Floor wraps up the four early afternoon games.
#10 Davidson 82, #7 Gonzaga 76. Stephen Curry scored 40 on 8-11 three-point shooting in Raleigh, but it was the timely rebounding of Andrew Lovedale (13 boards to go with 12 points) that saved the Wildcats' bacon. Adam Morrison was in attendance, looking like the lead singer of a goth tribute band. No word yet on whether he cried. Oh, who are we kidding, of course he did. Davidson advances to face the Georgetown/UMBC winner.

Tennessee Volunteers
1. Mr. and Mr.s Smith. If the NCAA tourney was played 3-on-3 hoop-it-up style and each team could only field players that had the same name, Tennessee would be considered the greatest college team of all time. Despite some broadcast announcers this season repeatedly insisting that there is a fourth Smith named Jamar, there are in fact three players that share the surname of Smith that are in the starting lineup for the Vols. Ramar starts at point guard, and he is the one the Vols turn to when they need someone to get some dribble penetration in the lane. Tyler, who transferred from Iowa last season, gives Tennessee some much needed help in the post. He leads the team in rebounding and assists and is their third scoring threat. The final Smith is JaJuan. He is an above average defender, leading the team in steals, and when he is on, he can shoot the three ball as well as anyone in the country. More »

The Animal Uprising Claims Pat Summitt
As a sobering reminder that no humans will be spared when the animal "Order 66" is given, Tennessee Lady Vols head coach Pat Summitt dislocated her shoulder while attempting to chase a raccoon off her back porch on Wednesday. More »

This was mentioned on Sunday, but was kind of buried ... and when Bruce Pearl paws the lovely Erin Andrews on national television, the world needs to know. Too bad that Ms. Andrews didn't read the Tennessee Athletic Handbook; it clearly states that when dealing with Bruce Pearl a microphone can also be used as a club. More »

Deadspin Is Your Alls Daddy, So Why Hate?
You may know John Adams as the Founding Father who would one day support author David McCullough and his family for the better part of two decades. But that name also belongs to the current sports editor/columnist of the Knoxville News-Sentinel, John Adams, who has been notoriously critical of Tennessee football coach Phil Fulmer for quite some time. Now, Tennessee has its Fulmer supporters, and its Adams supporters, and sometimes the give and take gets pretty funny. Adams' latest column ripping Fulmer was recounted by the blog Losers With Socks, and this was my favorite reply: More »

You Have To Triple Team Josh McNeil
Tennessee center Josh McNeil has a history of problems with alcohol, including a public intoxication and underage drinking charge that kept him out of five spring practices, quite the punishment. But after an incident this weekend, we now know the truth: Josh McNeil doesn't have an alcohol problem ... he has an alcohol gift! More »

Is It Wrong To Do It With An Opposing Team's Fan?
To this day, our favorite ESPN commercial remains the one where the male Ohio State fan and the female Michigan fans make out with each other. There's something primal about our reaction to it; it seems grotesque, somehow, like cousins French kissing, or a dog doing it with a sheep. Sleeping with your rival's fans has an unnatural quality; our worst relationships have always been with Cubs fans. More »

Trees Are No Match For Vols Fans
Ah, the classic liberal enclave of Berkeley. Aging hippies, still listening to Workingman's Dead on 33 rpm, railing against the capitalist system and eating all kinds of food that tastes terrible. Where would we be without them? They remind us of what college campuses used to be like, before everybody was just angling for a job with Bear Stearns. (Note: We have no idea what we're talking about.) More »

A Problem Bob Knight Will Never Have
We try not to get too caught in domestic intranquility here — life is messy and ugly sometimes, and it hardly seems something to revel in unless it involves a Christie — but since we were late on it yesterday, and it involves a coaching legend who happens to have a stadium named after her, we feel obliged to point it out.

He Wasn't A Paid Drug Dealer; He Was Just Volunteering
We like Florida head coach Urban Meyer for many reasons, not least of which is the fact that his first name describes a type of city. (We hope to someday name our child "Rural Juror Leitch.") But the reason we really love him is that EDSBS figures he believes if you kick a player off your team for selling crack cocaine, you're being "harsh." (Link via Sons Of Sam Malone.) Because that's what Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer did to walkon player Justin Jackson.
"One of our walk-on players was arrested last night and is facing very serious accusations. By even being near this type of behavior, Justin has embarrassed himself and his team," Fulmer said in a statement. "We expect all our players — scholarship or walk-on — to be good citizens. I regret it whenever any university student makes bad choices of this nature. The legal and university process will be followed, but Justin is no longer a member of our team."
If he were a star quarterback rather than a walkon, we're not sure Fulmer would have made the same decision. That said, maybe he just hasn't tried any of Jackson's stash. Phil Fulmer on the crack rock; we'd enjoy that, we think.
