I'll be working and miss most of this one,
but go ’Dores!
And please, AJ and Dolla, show up this time. Your days of disappearing against UT are over.
"And with the 15th pick, the Tennessee Titans select..."
Tough Luck
We’ll be in here if you catch a few breaks…though if you’re like me, you won’t want to know the score until you watch the replay on the ol’ DVR.
Sophomore
and he’s from Oregon.
I think you’re thinking of John Jenkins. He’s from the Hendersonville area of Nashville
Makeup call for not calling the foul on JoJen

WTF. We are a little too pass happy, perhaps?

It's been a really weird game
No flow to it, really. AJ has been absent as usual vs. the Vols.
I don't know...
I think VU is more athletic and fluid than the Vols in their current state…
Our second half team...
…needs to come out strong. AJ will be back, and I hope it doesn’t take too long for him to get going.
Not sure how I feel about the quick whistles
Benefitted us so far…but I’m not sure that stays that way on the road
The stars are aligned right now
Can the ’Dores take advantage?
And I'm falling asleep
while they take 30 minutes to decide…
Worst officiated game ever
Tennessee and Vanderbilt fans might be able to make peace over this common enemy.
Just a really weird, choppy, ugly game
I think all the foul calls are working against Vandy right now. The lack of flow is preventing them from running offense like the 2nd half against Auburn.
I could swear
You may be the most pro-Vandy UT fan (during a Vandy-UT game) I’ve ever met. Is it cause you’re living in Virginia?
It's the Vanderbilt degree hanging on my wall
Knoxville kid, Vandy grab, hence the split loyalties…
Vandy grad
Hopefully they will forgive me the terrible typo…
I just don't see how VU won't win this game
They are better than this UT team, especially with the foul problems.
This one almost has a fork in it
UT’s offense is terrible.
Jay Bilas
He does commercials now. Better than the Mark Howard, 104.5 the Zone Dickie V commercials?
It’s Markie H Bay-BEE!
Consolidated Credit
Face Transplant for that guy? Seriously, they couldn’t find someone a little more photogenic?
Coaching Staff
thinks Festus will settle in at a 65% clip from here on out. Obviously factoring in his earlier misses, his average won’t get that high…
AJ can't go for that steal
and leave his man wide open around the rim. Kentucky will rape us that way.
I thought VU would win
And they did. As a VU grad, I’m excited about the possibilities. As a UT fan, I’m nervous about what the last 2 games signal for the remainder of the season.
Congrats guys
You guys came out and took it to us in the 2nd half. You were definitely the better team. Hopefully we can repay you in a couple weeks.
It's simple Cubs in the spring and summer, Vols in the fall and winter.
Can't ever remember...
…any team that corrects in the second half better than this.
If this happens again Saturday night…this could be a really, really special year.
"Well, if that ain't a show, I'll kiss your ass." - Gov. Jim Folsom Sr. (D-AL), 1948-52
Hey-ooooo
Nice win. Anyone see the commercial for the VU/UK game Saturday featuring Jeff Taylor? Hoooo boy, gonna start drinking early for that one.
OK
to be honest, I thought Vandy was ok tonight. I think they have potential to be better. They probably could have won by more, but I thought Tennessee looked pretty bad. What are your thoughts?
Agreed.
Tennessee really, really needs Hopson to start asserting himself more (especially while Chism is out). For a stretch it looked like he might do that all season long. If he can be a little more consistent, I like Pearl’s chances of righting the ship.
Vandy didn’t play their best by any stretch. A lot of that had to do with UT. Both teams seemed really psyched up and I think that worked to their disadvantages.
Also, the refs were way too whistle happy in my opinion, and that obviously worked to Vandy’s advantage…though that has tended to be the case for us all season due to being aggressive on offense and in the interior.

interesting you say that
according to Ken Pomeroy (http://kenpom.com/expsked.php?team=Vanderbilt) there is a positive correlation between the # of free throws that opponents shoot to Vanderbilt’s offensive efficiency. Kind of counter-intuitive, huh?
