By the read of it when he was at UT as well as now at NC State, only the strongest survive and play a lot...and I get the impression this kid is not one of the strongest and it has panned out at two major universities.
I also want to say I read that he had academic issues while at UT so perhaps that's resurfaced. Whatever the case is, ego aside, he just does not make the cut and I hope he can find some college where he can play ball for the fun of the game again.

I wonder if she's pregnant. Sounds a bit far fetched but it could explain a sudden rush back home, a desire to reexamine choices, to be close to family while making decisions, and a very stoic response of not being certain if, or when, she'll return to UConn.
Either way, I hope her health is ok and no one here, that is sane and human, wishes her any harm.

Good information here and it sounds more serious than mere rumor or speculation.

I'm going to say it the way it needs to be said. I'm DISAPPOINTED in you Duke. The TN Basketball family (program, staff, fans) was let down by you and this is something we take very seriously. We had hopes for you as well as for the family and that took a shot by your actions. I am proud of your accountability though and that goes to say a lot about your character, even with the mistakes made in the past.
However, like family, we wish you no ill will or hold any resentment and do hope you find your way, find your niche, and get back to enjoying basketball somewhere again soon. I know I'll personally keep an eye out in the fall of 2009/spring 2010 to see if I can find any press clippings of how you are doing.

Crap! Get yourself better soon Vicki.
This means she'll be out at least until January. These knee injuries are not the type to bounce back quickly from if one does. After 6 months, she'll be able to run but will still have some swelling. Hardwood floors are a [bleep] on the joints after a knee surgery. If anything, she'll be ready by January or by the SEC Tournament but her playing shape won't be all that great and her offensive skills will not have improved due to lack of mobility and chances to practice for improvement. :-(
Let's hope she rehabs without any subsequent pain or tendonitis.

Sad part about it is that they'll not lose a dime over it as that student will be replaced with an avid non-student UT Football fan that will pay whatever it takes to see a game. They know that and are sticking it to the students accordingly.

Upsets happen in the NCAA when a couple of things happen.
1...higher ranked teams take lower ranked teams for granted and underestimate them.
2...lower ranked teams play with a chip on their shoulder and play as focused and as out of their mind as they have ever played, hence March Madness.
With this bracket, there are very few that fit into that second category. They are all high ranked wherever they were and all very good. TN will be as focused as they were against Gonzaga, Memphis, or Xavier and come home successful. That's my prediction.
Against teams where they knew their backs were up against a wall and it was do or die time...AND...it was a team they have never played before...they've played harder, scrapped more, and won.
It's when we play those teams that we've beaten before or think much much less of is when we lose (e.g. KY at Rupp or Arkansas the second time around).
I imagine we'll go back to beast mode as we did against those tough but beatable non-conference foes. The NCAA tourney is just a collection of tough but beatable teams. TN will play as we expect them to play.
Only thing that can slow us down is ourselves and a cold shooting night that can happen to any team at any time. Pearl will have em ready.

I'd like to give a shout out to:
1...Arkansas, Georgia, Ohio State, Mississippi State, and Kentucky for playing tough on us on the inside to make us realize how much we tougher we had to become to get to this point.
2...Vanderbilt, Texas, Gonzaga, and Florida for making us realize that we have to defend the perimeter in order to be a more well rounded defense.
3...Mississippi, Xavier, Texas, and plenty others for making us realize that we have to use 100% of our athleticism, talent, and teamwork in order to maximize our abilities to be undaunted in almost any situation.
Yes I gave props for teams that beat us and for teams that gave us hell, but I don't think we would stand a chance last night if those teams did not and were a bunch of pushovers. Congrats to Pearl and team for learning from their mistakes, improving, and taking one of the most frenetic nights I have EVER seen and handling it with confidence and poise.

bmaples - there is nothing interesting to say about the game when looking at the box score.
Fuller was effective and played more minutes because of it.
Anosike got into foul trouble and had to sit.
Bobbitt only had two assists but ran the half court very effectively and helped keep the half court offense moving and not stagnant.
Hornbuckle was best described as an "constant irritant" by the announcer yesterday. Her defense was so irritating for Vandy that it was the quote of the day.
Parker got layup after layup after layup all game long because A Vandy did not focus on the superstar enough and B the other Lady Vols found her wide open underneath the basket and C they did not box her out.
Also, all Lady Vols passed well and assists were distributed evenly amongst them all so Bobbitt just had to do her normal high energy thing and the rest of the gals made it easier on each other.

Ahhh feels good to see a TN team dominate for once. I've not seen a team own their opponent since...hmmm the Lady Vols ruled Stanford. It's been a while that's for certain. We're still young and I want to see what a stingier defense does and how we respond before I heap on WOWs and shout accolades from the rooftop.
However, this is so very promising and I'm glad to be able to sleep knowing we won't suck in at least one sport.
