#6 Texas takes down unbeaten Ole Miss
The womens' basketball team easily handled their first major road test today, beating Ole Miss 74-50. The Horns were led by the usual suspects - Raven had 16 and Arriaran 14 - but also had a strong performance from a member of this year's surprising freshman class. This time it was 5-8 guard...

Since the widget doesn't keep a running archive, I've saved my Twittering from the Tennessee-Kentucky game for posterity here: Gassing up, then heading to knoxville 9:14 AM Nov 29th from mobile web Sweet, the hotel let me check in early..here's the view out of my room http://twitpic.com/ozu2...
Anybody going to be in town for the game this weekend?
Not too many people I know will be in town given the holiday. But I will be because I'm, like, a real fan or something. Pre-game beers? This thing says my fan post needs to be at least 75 words, so here is a quote from the forward Phillip Fulmer wrote in Ray Glier's How to Be a Volunteer: I'm...
Is this really the worst Tennessee team in history?
Looking at how Kentucky played this week and how Vanderbilt played earlier in the year, it's certainly possible for this year's Tennessee team to lose one or both of its remaining games. If Tennessee lost either of those games, that would make this Tennessee team the first in history to lose eight...
Just got off the phone with a source
He heard the news of Fulmer resigning about a half hour before ESPN broke it and said he'll phone with any other news. He's heard four names thrown around as potential replacements for Coach Fulmer: Mike Leach Lane Kiffin Todd Graham/Gus Malzahn (he just knew "the guy from Tulsa") Butch...
Take everything you read with a grain of salt now
A coach who has spent almost two decades as head coach at a big-money program like the University of Tennessee possibly losing his job is a big-time story. A lot of people are going to try to make a name for themselves breaking this story. Now more than ever, you need to be skeptical of what you...
carp's crazy thoughts for a Monday
This FanPost was inspired by the flea flicker that Cignetti & Tedford called just when the play calling became boring and conservative. You would have thought these guys listen to Rush everyday. I remember yelling “oh shit” in an excited did-they-just-do-that? type of way as soon...
What I hope happens if Phillip Fulmer isn't Tennessee's coach after this season
Smarter people than me will make the decision of whether Tennessee Coach Phillip Fulmer should keep his job or not. I will say I think Athletic Director Mike Hamilton's approach of evaluating at the end of the year is the right one. A mid-season firing accomplishes nothing other than to placate the...
A treatment for Volunteer Nation's zoophobia: immersion therapy
Dr. Joel, fellow doctors, friends, It is my professional medical opinion that the Volunteer Nation is suffering from zoophobia, a fear of animals. These include but are not limited to: Bears (both the California and Armani...
Are you excited yet?
Despite being concerned that the opening line on this game should have been 49 instead of 7, I still got goosebumps when my tickets for Tennessee-Florida arrived from FedEx today. I've been to more UT games in Neyland Stadium than I can reasonably count. I'd peg a conservative guess at 40, but...
