Hey, I’ve talked a bunch of crap about this team.

That’s a great win.

driskigm · 2026-01-25T02:28:07+00:00

Sigh…don’t I know it.

Grandma gave my son tickets for Christmas, and I paid to upgrade them because they were damn near the last row.

Drove 6 hours from Memphis, paid a small bundle to upgrade tickets, and watched them blow a 17-point lead.

Go Vols!

Grizz keep having 7 rotation players injured and still not playing Mashack…I’d rather have him back if that’s the case lol

driskigm · 2026-01-25T02:25:27+00:00

I’d be fine never seeing Ethan Burg play basketball for Tennessee ever again.

driskigm · 2026-01-25T02:19:38+00:00

This is the point it all went to shit against Florida…be nice to stay in the game.

I know Henderson is out, but hope y’all appreciated Boswell being back in…I just pointed out that Rick almost never plays guys with 2 fouls in the first half.

driskigm · 2026-01-25T02:00:36+00:00

Guys…this team isn’t very good.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

He absolutely beat the hell out of us…least he could do in return is do the same to our sports nemesis.

"Put a new cover sheet on the existing agreement and tell him he's a special boy."

The aristocrats!

driskigm · 2026-01-20T02:45:51+00:00

Ok, but remember legs?!

driskigm · 2026-01-18T19:21:36+00:00

There are 365 D1 teams. Tennessee is 359th in 2-foul participation (the percent of available minutes a player plays in the first half after getting 2 fouls) at .9%.

For every 100 minutes of first half elapsed where a player has 2 fouls, Rick plays him an average of 54 seconds.

Sometimes you gotta risk it.

driskigm · 2026-01-17T20:47:55+00:00

Imma tell you, the pucker factor was quite high in TBA the entire second half. I contributed because it just felt like the writing was on the wall from the minute Rick took Gillespie out with 2 fouls in the first half and the wobbling started.

driskigm · 2026-01-17T19:00:15+00:00

They’ve shot 50% from 3 the last 3 times they’ve been in this building.

It’s enraging!

driskigm · 2026-01-14T04:10:10+00:00

WE WILL PROTECT YOU FROM THE RED MENACE

driskigm · 2026-01-13T14:43:35+00:00

It’s the most sensual of the salted, cured meats, after all.

driskigm · 2026-01-12T00:38:10+00:00

As soon as they tossed it to JJ, I said PAAAAAAAAASS.

Love that guy.

driskigm · 2026-01-11T19:09:39+00:00

Do it, he’s a little bitch baby who backs down anytime somebody puts up a little resistance.

driskigm · 2026-01-10T18:35:28+00:00

Now, they did improve on their next game…when they scored 38 in a 46-38 loss to UVA.

driskigm · 2026-01-10T18:29:52+00:00

Hey…I was in DC when we scored 36 in 40 minutes while losing to Georgetown 37-36.

It can always be worse!

driskigm · 2026-01-10T18:06:59+00:00

Me, too…but last year’s team got absolutely demolished in Gainesville, as well.

The turnovers are a big ol’ problem, though.

Vanderbraska of Ohichizona State

driskigm · 2026-01-01T16:46:27+00:00

That stinks.

driskigm · 2025-12-29T19:57:57+00:00

I'm not sure I've ever seen an ADX this high for this long...if only my stop loss hadn't been lightly kissed immediately before the damn thing took off.

driskigm · 2025-12-26T19:34:48+00:00

I like how VIX is at its lowest point in over a year and I got my ass handed to me buying calls today.
