UT may think their birthright is 3rd in the roundball SEC, but isn't a .500 league season more likely than third place with Donnie Knoxville's roster of transfers from Ooh-eee Poo-eee and such like schools?

9er —

There are real concerns about chemistry for Donnie Knoxville's first collection of Vols. We feel sure this will come up when we talk to him today on Press Row around 3:45.

Transfers and kids picking UT over Southern Miss hardly will give the Vols the guns to win in Rupp or in Gainesville. But after the Martin mass exodus, Donnie Tyndall was close to asking Ollie to dress out or be forced to say his team is on the floor with four.

Out of that desperation comes opportunity for guys, and if Josh Richardson continues his improvement, this will not be a bad roster against the majority of the SEC. Heck, his roster is at least as good if not better than half the league's.

We certainly see your point about .500 in the league as opposed to chasing down the Cats or the Gators and that's fair. But the divide after the two top dogs in the SEC is staggering, and in that thought, these Vols could easily challenge for third in this league.

lol, this was worth reading for the "Donnie Knoxville" reference alone. The guy hasn't done **** there yet (nor anywhere else for that matter) and these hillbillies think they just hired John Calipari 2.0

They confuse me...the UTK fans, I mean. Sometimes I think they are like little children, and other times I think they are only keeping up their spirits.

Tennessee owns this state. Memphis will be getting their leftovers soon.

Somebody linked a thread to Volnation on the 247 board about a memphis kid getting offered and they were so excited. They believe they own the state

If they really believe that, then they must've never left East Tennessee.

I remember when Cuonzo got them there in 3. If Donnie learns a few new dance moves, he will make a fine Sundevil.

With the draw UT had, about 30-40 teams would have made sweet 16 from that spot.

I'm not a UTAY fan by any means , in fact I can't stand them, but that team improved like night and day from mid season to the end, and it wasn't just because of there draw.. They would have beaten a lot of teams in the Tourney..

They underperformed most of the year.

Not all Vol fans hate Memphis. - I have Tiger football season tickets and Grizzly season tickets and love coming to Memphis even if it wouldn't be where I choose to live.

Not all negative talk about Memphis comes from non-Memphians. In fact, some of the worst things I have ever heard about the city come from people who live in it.

The job Tyndall has done in a month is just incredible - he has assembled a class better than Martin's in about a month on the job. He and his staff have demonstrated that they are professional, hard working, competent basketball folks who love the chance to sell Tennessee. They have been a breath of fresh air.

Still having said that, the class is a top 35-40 type class (considering the transfers), not a top 20 type class. But being able to sign a 4 star kid and a couple of 3 stars who had interest other places that quickly is still cause for hope.

None of this means he will win at TN. he still has to get it done on the floor.

You should never, ever worry about what anyone posts on Volnation.

The same can be said about this place.

Many of them have never crossed the Tennessee River into West Tennessee. Truth

Sadly true. Also, many have never set foot on the campus during a weekday.

Many of our fans have never set foot on campus period. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
