The Voles are coming to JC
http://www.etsubucs.com/mbasketball/news...n-2016-17/

Well here we go guys. People have been looking for this to happen a long time and now it is. Unfortunately I fear it will be like playing an away game in our own arena.

We may indeed be playing an away game in our own place, but it will be exciting nonetheless. Very impressed by the administration putting this together, it appears to be a 2 for 1 deal, which is much better than the 3 to 1 deal previously discussed.

Exciting for sure and good all the way around. Just wish it was sooner! We should be in good shape to compete. Hopefully 2 experienced 7 footers, Merriwether a senior and Bradford a junior.

This is the only game I would really want in the dome. 10k plus in there for that one. This is something we've waited for forever.

UT game at Freedom Hall or The Dome?

Did ETSU once play UNC at Freedom Hall?

RE: The Voles are coming to JC
I was there in the 60's when Ray Mears brought the Vols into Brooks Gym.. There was no shot clock then and Mears played that slow ..stall offense.. we were used to watching the OVC teams go up and down the court.. the crowd booed while UT stood around and dribbled and dribbled and.. well anyway it worked.. they beat us.. I think the final score was 48 to 47.. A.W. Davis who died recently scored the last 8 or 10 buckets for UT.. he had one of the most beautiful pure jump shots I ever saw...
We had a home and home thing going with UT.. but Mears canceled it.. he said he would not play us anymore because we had started recruiting black players..

I'd wager that option is on the table if the demand is there, which it will be. I just hope we sell it out with blue and gold and keep the orange to a minimum.

You can sit the same amount in Freedom Hall as the dome according to the current fire regulations. If there is no easy fix on those, I don't see why the game would be in the dome.

Let's hope they can get some lipstick on Freedom Hall by then.

Not to be too pedantic, but "voles" are what we used to call field mice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vole

It's the "Vols" who are coming to Johnson City.

Although it is kind of fun imagining a horde of field mice dressed all in orange descending on the Mini-Dome.

Precisely why I use that term, and I use it in reference to the fans of the vols.

With Tyndall gone now, Both Bartow and Tyndall will have their replacements for this one.

Wonder what the buyout is? I know it was a 2 for 1 deal but since we have already honored the first year I would think Tennessee would have some penalty for voiding the contract.

Don't be surprised, most big instate schools hate these types of games and coaches see little value in them, ESPECIALLY on the road.
