I had a dream last night that Bruce and the boys were running the clock out on a national championship game victory. The bliss was indescribable. It seemed so real... until the beep beep beep woke me up. Quick! Somebody knock me out! I didn't get to see all of the celebration!

One at a time. Don't overlook Auburn. They are going to smell blood in the water and try to catch us looking ahead. Focus. Coach Cal and the Slap-Happies will be there waiting for us.

I agree HotlantaVol, Let's get by Auburn then focus on an awesome break neck speed game in Memphis. That game will be exciting but we can't forget the other Tigers, War Eagles, Plainsmen or whatever they are going by this week
GO VOLS
BEAT AWEBURN

For the first time in my life, I've actually felt stints of excitement at a letit chance at a Final 4. Last season, barring a collapse against Ohio State the Vols had a chance with a mostly freshman led team.

Focus Vols....ebrace one game at a time. What a confidence booster if they can go into Memphis high school gym and win on Sat. Beat Auburn and go take care of business and grab that #1 spot!

Go Vols!

marc ash - 9:52 - It does almost seems surreal and may really do so after Sat nite, either way.

Don't have a clue about this one, but Vols must scrap from open to close.

WOW.....I've never been a real big college basketball fan until Pearl come aboard. Coaching really does make a HUGE difference. It's good to finally have something to do when college football is in its offseason! After we beat Auburn, let's go to Memphis and make history. Vols #1.....in basketball.....MENS basketball!!

Unreal. Shouldn't be hard to focus on Auburn first, they did beat us last year. Besides, this game is at home and the streak is still alive. GO VOLS!!!!

High School Gym? This just continues to show that some VOL fans know nothing....The FedEx Forum was voted the 3rd best arena in the entire country including pro stadiums...get a clue hillbillies

Tennisajoke:

I will agree with you that the FedEx Forum is an great arena, but I am not sure he was referring to the FedEx Forum as the highschool gym, I believe he was referring to Univ. of Memphis as a "high school team" in general and and it carried over. Why don't YOU get a clue...
Go back to where you came from and worry about the first priority here, winning your bball game Wed. night.

i think it is autrocious that this game is not televised. we need a sec network like the big ten has.

Guess we'll have to hear:

Bob: Lofton from corner.... good for three!

Bert: Money!

Gotta beat Auburn first. Vandy in Nashville is a much bigger game for UT. Memphis plays no one in their so-called conference. The game is bigger for them for that reason. Beating their a$$ AGAIN would still be sweet. GO VOLS!
