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 s...
That's One Way To Sell A Condo
We don't know Alabama well enough to understand the real estate market, but it's little surprise that one of the main selling points in Tuscaloosa is proximity to Bryant-Denny Stadium, home of the Crimson Tide. And it turns out that a condominium company is using a peculiar strategy to sell their ho...
Gauging Your Women's Sports Interest
If you're not adequately impressed by the countdown clock ESPN's giving us for the Rutgers-Tennessee women's national championship game tonight — here's something weird; in women's hoops, they have the professional draft the day after the national title game — then here's a sporting event that's pro...
Sweet 16 Pants Party: Ohio State Vs. Tennessee
Ohio State Buckeyes (31-3) vs. Tennessee Volunteers (24-10) When: 9:57 p.m. ET Where: San Antonio...
NCAA Pants Party: Tennessee Vs. Long Beach State
Tennessee Volunteers (22-10) vs. Long Beach State 49ers (24-7) When: Friday, 2:35 p.m. Where: Columbus...
Tennessee Volunteers
1. The machines ... they're getting smarter. UT's freshman class has overcome being labeled "The Fab Five" by Knoxville media outlets to become a legitimate driving force on the court. Top-50 recruits Duke Crews, Wayne Chism and Ramar Smith have been particularly effective, finishing the regular sea...
Well, That Was A Bit Of A Letdown
Whether she was channeling Bruce Pearl or Minnie Pearl, Pat Summitt's antics before the Tennessee men's game on Tuesday was the least offensive aspect of the evening, as it turns out. When one considers that Dick Vitale was there, and that Peyton Manning was in the crowd singing, viewers should cons...
Ready For Some Good, Old-Fashioned College Basketball Nightmare Fuel?
Note to Bruce Pearl: There's such a thing as overselling an event, as may be the case tonight when Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt is supposed to appear at the men's game against No. 5 Florida and "do something special." Pearl (personal motto: Dignity, Always Dignity), the Tennessee m...
Well, That's One Way To Scare Off Pat Summitt's Recruits
Our longtime enmity toward Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl was founded in adolescence and is probably going to stick with us til death, even if the guy ended up taking down a squadron of Al Qaeda operatives. Sometimes, you can't shake your past....
The Vols Aren't Taking It Well
When I saw that three Tennessee football players had been arrested, I just assumed that one of them was Pac Man Jones. It wasn't the Titans, though, it was the Volunteers, who figure if they can't beat some ass on the field, they should beat some ass in the club....
Some Fans Are, Well, "Special"
Sure, you might, on the surface, think that the University of Tennessee calling a boisterous fan at home and asking her to shut the hell up is over the top, rude and all together unacceptable. But, then again, you haven't actually heard her....
The Dangers Of The Play-Calling Screens
You know how it goes. It's a hotly contested game of Madden, or NBA Live, or, say, NCAA Football 07, and you played your ass off and you lost on a last-second touchdown and you think your buddy was sneaking looks at your plays and you threw the controller across the room and you tried to get the l...
You Think You Know A Guy ...
For those of you who might not have known, the Tennessee Volunteers have a backup quarterback named Jim Bob Cooter. No, you heard us correctly; we said Tennessee, not Stanford....
This Is How We Shock The Wheat
Prepare yourself for a full week of intense Shocker coverage: Wichita State has advanced to the Sweet 16 with a convincing win over the Tennessee Volunteers. PJ Cousinard sliced and diced his way to 20 points for the Shox. That's an actual wheat shocker on the left, there....
Oh, You Clever Shocker Cheerleaders
Okay, so that Florida/Milwaukee game wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The Gators ended up winning by 22, which is not what you'd call close. Still, to me, it felt like less of a blowout than the Duke/GW game. Maybe it's just me....
Now It Gets Real
Duke has put the finishing touches on their romp of George Washington. They're the first team in the Sweet 16, Dick Vitale has written them in on his bracket with a glitter pen, and blah blah blah... We're done with the appetizers. Here comes the steak....
NCAA Pants Party: Tennessee Vs. Winthrop
Tennessee Volunteers (21-7) vs. Winthrop Eagles (23-7). When: Thursday, 2:50 p.m. ET (approx.) Where: Greensboro, N.C....
Tennessee Volunteers
1. Bruce Pearl = Hulk Hogan. After the Vols' huge win at Rupp Arena over Kentucky, Pearl instructed his players to act like they'd "been there before." And then ripped his shirt off, in what forward Dane Bradshaw described as "wrestler style," in the locker room. It's possible he's insane. He openly...
Bruce Pearl Coaches Crackheads. Yeah! Take That!
As longtime readers know, we never miss an opportunity to knock around Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl. We know this isn't fair — he's a great coaching story, he's done a great job and the man is a world champion sweater — but Bruce Pearl's fate was sealed with us back in the early '90s when he was an...
Apology Fashion
Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer — still lamenting the poo Alabama took against Auburn on Saturday, we're sure — points us in the direction of Jemere Hendrix, a University of Tennessee basketball player who was kicked out of school in October for being busted for marijuana possession. That seems like a...
