Take that Tenn....

[redneckshadrap]

I actually enjoyed that arse whippin...

AMEN!! What cheap shot from Goins. Cousins did good to keep his cool on that one.

[know1]

Cousins is showing that the thug reputation/bad attitude was not deserved. He showed amazing restraint not going after that punk. Who wouldn't have wanted to take that guy's head off?

Revenge is so sweet.....espeacially against the hated!!

[DJD]

That was good! Can't hardly wait until todays game. UK showed alot of maturity...well maybe Orton needed a few lessons but that team is getting better at more than basketball.
I still like Bruce Pearl, think he is one of the best coaches out there.

[Fishin is life]

Orton is showing that he may be our team thug....he plays 8 minutes a game and spends 6 of it pushing with somebody....cousins is finally starting to show some maturity which was a must for the big blue to make a run in march....don't like Tenn a bit but I am a huge Bruce Pearl fan....how could anybody not like that guy....he's a lot like the coach as Kansas State....They love the game

[MrSplitshot]

I thoroughly enjoyed the whippin myself! Aside from Vandy, there aren't many teams out there that I'd love to spank like little babies more than Tennessee.

Bruce Pearl = Sweat Hog...coronary waiting to happen...can't be good on the ticker to stay that red-faced all the time. lol

Major props to Big Cuz for taking a cheap shot in the pills and not coming out swinging. Orton needs a little work on the 'tude. Cal is better than me for letting a kid walk off the court and to the locker room, only to come back and say "I sorry boss" and get playing time after it. WOW. I guess it is like a "family" with him and he's going back and forth with them like they are his kids.

With our talent level, I don't "fear" any team out there....I just fear our ability to "always" put it together and keep our heads. Few of the teams out there can beat us unless we give them a lot of help doing it.

But, you think Mississippi State won't bring it all today?

What "they" are playing for:
(1) Revenge. We beat them at The Hump....but probably shouldn't have. I'm not one to talk about refs, but State got homered by their own zebras that night late in the game.
(2) All of the Big Cuz "Call Me!" stuff...
(3) The post-game crap where their fans were throwing stuff...
(4) Varnardo didn't have a big game against us and rode the pines in foul trouble - He will want to prove himself against the blue.
(5) And MOST OF ALL...They are on the bubble again after Houson and New Mexico State won in upsets Saturday and punched their tickets. A win today automatically punches the ticket for Mississippi State and keeps them alive.

What "we" are playing for:
(1) Pride. We want a SEC tourney championship again.
(2) Seeding. We are already a #1 seed. Can we be the #1 overall seed instead of Kansas? A crushing win today could make that happen, though I kinda doubt it. A close nailbiter, even if it's a win for blue, will probably keep us at the second #1 seed behind the Jawyhawks.


I have a feeling that come 1:00 today, we're going to be in for a barn burner.

GO CATS!
