What do you think the suicide rate is for Tennessee' band members? It seems like having to play Rocky top 50 times a game would slowly drive you insane.

Have you seen the sooner band chart for boomer sooner? Tennessee has more reasons to play Rocky Top. I was at an SEC game and think I probably heard it 200 plus times.

Kenpom loooooooooves him some Tennessee:

His argument is basically that they win by big margins and lose by small margins, and thus that they are far better than their record suggests. I would argue that pulling out close games is a skill/talent in itself, and that losing by 15 compared to losing by 25 is equivalent; because Kenpom's analysis disagrees on both points, he concludes that Tennessee is the 11th best team in the country. BS.

Is it just me or does it look like Iowa is hacking away and not getting called much for it?

Premise is all wrong. Assume they are insane.

dingleberry had io_a's first four points
ut not a good team until the last three minutes
big time io_a let down at the end of the half
mad fran - no t's but he did scratch his head and then took a whiff of his fingers - not sure what that was all about

possibly playing rocky top in straight jackets with kazoo's

If I was Iowas coach I'd be running a sagging 2-3 zone on them until they beat it. I'd also leave Jok in the game while he had a hot hand. Hey what do I know? I'm just some guy wearing mens glasses and getting drunk on a nice spanish cab sauv.
