    Doesn’t matter. UT will choke during SEC and NCAA Tournament time like they always do.

    @ #2…

    Funny, bro. I think that it does matter. Is that like a moral victory for you?

    Claiming we will choke in the tournament? Wow, that hurts.

    No more of a moral victory than beating a two time defending NATIONAL champion starting three TRUE freshmen with a senior laden team of underacheivers…

    Poor Florida and their freshmen…

    Tennessee whipped your national championship team’s ass with a bunch of freshmen, didn’t they?

    You guys are serious chumps.

    Take your ownage like a man, faggot.

    And what did UT get for those wins over the two time National Champs…

    Dumped in the second round of the dance…

    Try winning when it counts for once…

    @ 6 Pretty sure it was the sweet 16 last year. Pretty Sure Florida was up by 13 and lost by 22. 35 point swing Pearl vs UF 4-1, 3 of those wins were agianst National Chumpionship Teams. Face it Pearl owns Billy boy

    LMAO…

    Right, Sweet 16 last year…

    Meanwhile the team that is owned by Pearl went on to win Back to Back Crystal…

    I’ll take it…

    Like I said before…

    Win one when it counts….

    @8 17? Try 15 on the roster…

    And I apologize…

    Perhaps I should have stated “upperclass laden”…

    Either way…

    When comparing rosters is there any doubt that on paper this game should not have even been as close as it was most of the way…

    The Vols should have scored 150 on these young inexperienced Gators…

    I came away unimpressed and expecting the Vols to fall short once again in the grand scheme…

    But maybe it took some of that sting out of your ass from the fall…

    gatorhippy permalink

    Like that was a surprise…

    I surely wasn’t surprised at the outcome…

    UT is certainly better than the Gatorsa on the court right now…

    I’m laughin’ at you clowns because to listen to gloat you would think the Vols just beat the Celtics not a bunch of kids which the majority of were playing in HS last season…

    I mean seriously…

    You know you were sweatin’ turds till about the 10 minute mark last night…

    Gators made a game of it for 36 minutes in a contest they should have never been in…

  23. 2008 February 6

    @3:

    NOT a moral victory at all. We lost. Didn’t expect to win. We’re playing with a bunch of Freshman & Sophomores, lost our top 6 scorers from last year, and UT had won 27 straight at home.

    Like I said, win one when it counts. No one remembers that UF lost at UT last year. But they do remember that UF won the SEC, the SEC Tournament, and the NCAA Championship (again).

    UT has choked out of the last 2 SEC Tourneys and NCAA tourneys and has never been to a Final Four. Meanwhile, Billy D has been to 3 FF’s since 2000. Suck on that, Fag.

  24. 2008 February 6

    Actuall, LL…

    It seems that the Vols remember that win very well…

    I don’t hink anybody here is debating that the gators at this point are a good basketball team…

    The questions here are the Vols any good if they let a bunch of kids not even a full year removed from HS take them to task for 3/4 of the game and is this rerally a victory to be proud of for the supposed “best” team in the SEC…

    I say no…

  30. 2008 February 6

    Sucks to the tune of 3 straight SEC Tourney Championships, 3 Final Fours since 2000, 3 Top 10 draft picks in 2007, and back-to-back National Championships. Yeah, I guess UF basketball sucks. We’ll never be any good again. Womp, wawwwwwwwwwww.

  31. 2008 February 6

    Exactly, gatorhippy. UT was down at halftime at home to a bunch of Freshman and they didn’t rally until 5-10 minutes left in the game. I don’t get why they are bragging, either. Maybe they even bragged after they lost to Kentucky?

  32. 2008 February 6
    gatorhippy permalink

    Yeah, LL…

    What I saw last night was a winning team that is questionably as good as their #7 ranking would convey…

    Hell, even the Gates beat UK…

    I’m proud that UF was able to run with them for as long as they did…

    With the deeper bench and a few years ahead in S&C, UT should have run away from the beginning but couldn’t…

    Fortelling of the future?

    For sure…

    The Gators got absolutely waxed, and embarrassed, on National TV….. And a couple of you are trying to defend it? Hilarious.

    Hmmm…

    I suggest you re-read…

    I believe both LL and myself have noted that this UF team is certainly not on par with the last two years but has still overachieved past what was expected by them…

    As well as pointing out that UT for close to 40 minutes did NOT look like a top ten squad until their deeper bench and two to three year head start in conditioning took over…

    The last minutes of the game it was obvious as the UF shooting went cold and the fouls increased that the good guys were exhausted which allowed UT to finally even up and pull away…

    Anyway you slice it…

    I didn’t see any teams that looked like a top ten and deep round Tourney team on the court in K-Town last night…

    No arguement there, Jai…

    Personally, I enjoy that UT hanging their hat on that seems to be enough to satisfy them…

    I mean, who needs those pesky conference and national titles and all the hoopla they bring…

    Better just to focus on beating one program consistently then bow out early in conference and national tourneys…

    Right?

  69. 2008 February 6
    gatorhippy permalink

    Again, Dildo…

    I suggest you actually read the above comments as we have already covered earlier today all of what you’re babbling about…

    However, I figured you must have been on the court as you keep refferring to how “WE” doubled the spread and what not…

    And I guess by “pure dominance” you were talking about the last 4 minutes of the game when the Gators had simply run out of gas trying to keep up with a older, more mature and deeper team?

    As it is obvious that you will not and have not read any of the above comments except for the few where you have simply decided to jump a bandwagon…

    I’ll state again for you…

    Yes, the Vols are a better team right now and SHOULD be…

    Yes, it appears that Bruce DID have BD’s number the last two years but this win in no way creds that thought as UT is supposed to win this game…

    I’m figuring you won’t get that as you are blind to anything other than a hatred of UF…

    It’s nice to know that hanging your hat on regular season wins trumps playoing deep into the conference or national tourney…

    Certainly clears the way for the gators the next few years…

  70. 2008 February 6

    Seriously, how in the fuck is it “pure dominance” when UT (despite being deeper, more experienced, and playing AT HOME) was sweating bullets for over 3/4 of the game last night?

    UT won but give it a rest already. Act like you’ve been there. And no, the loss doesn’t hurt because the future looks VERY bright in Gainesville.

    Hippy and LL… your team got beaten badly and it is obvious that you guys are having a hard time with it. Lets not repeatedly tell dildo to read the comments again… maybe he does not care what you guys have already covered.

    Telling Dildo to “give it a rest” is asinine… this a Tennessee blog, guys.

    I don’t think we will ever “give it a rest” on this site.

    And losing by 22…is pure dominance. What did you want Tennessee to do? Beat UF by 40?

    Let’s be real here, fellas.

  74. 2008 February 6
    gatorhippy permalink

    @72 – That question doesn’t even make sense…

    But you got your win…

    Seems like it would be old hat now as beating UF in hoops seems to come easy for Bruce “Big Pussy” Pearlman…

    But apparently it’s still a big deal to Vol fans since the Gators obviously register as superior even in down year for Billy and Co…

    Maybe that’s the UF football team’s fault for giving UT an inferiority complex when it comes to athletics…

    On behalf of my alma mater I humbly apologize…

  75. 2008 February 6

    The Gators are the defending National Champs.

    UF was ranked 22 and the game was on primetime ESPN…

    Yet, you guys are acting like it was the 12:30 Lincoln Financial game…

    saying Tennessee should have won by more and the like…

    It is just a really inconsistent position you have taken. The mark of denial. Man up and accept your loss and leave football and tournaments, and all the other irrelevant stuff you keep bringing up, out of the conversation. This is between UF and UT. And UT wins most of the time…

  76. 2008 February 6

    Actually, zerocharisma and your name here, your comments are flattering. Face it, if UT just beat a raggedy 5-18 team, you two wouldn’t be that excited. But UT just beat the 2-time Defending National Champs* (*Despite it being a completely different team.)

    It shows just how much you respect Gator Basketball and how you hold them to such high regard. By beating them, it makes you think that UT BBall is one step closer to making it where they can compete with the Big Boys. It also shows how passionate you are that Tennessee Basketball might one day: 1) Make it to the Finals of the SEC Tournaments consistently. 2) Make it to a Final Four consistently, like say 4 times in 13 years. 3) Win an NCAA Championship in Basketball, back-to-back even, maybe.

    So enjoy this win. And maybe, just maybe UT might reach some other goals other than just beating Florida this year.

    Seems like you (UF) would be used to getting beat by UT in basketball, yet you still keep talking about how UT is not that good.

    Even when you were clearly a supiorior basketball team you only beat us 1 time out of 4.

    It is always a big Deal to beat UF in any sport. Just like you bringing up past UF wins agianst UT.

    @76…

    Did it take getting your ass kicked by Tennessee and then being made fun of to realize that Florida is a relevant basketball program of which victories against are significant?

    When you lose you are the lowest of the low and when you win you are the best that ever was??

    That sounds like some flawed thinking, bro.

    As far as “competing with the big boys”… we have the #1 RPI in the country right now and hold a commanding 4-1 advantage over the defending national champs since Pearl arrived. This talk of NCAA tournaments is not helping Florida beat Tennessee, is it?

    I don’t see any mark of denial, Grill…

    I’ve been saying all along that UF was the lesser team and was handled accordingly…

    All in all, this isn’t a HUGE win for UT like the ones they have gotten against UF the past two seasons….

    The bigger stupifier for me is that UT would allow UF to come off on a run like thatand take them to task for 36 minutes until essentially conditioning and bench depth makes the difference…

    Just not that impressive….

    UT needs to work on coming out and taking control if they want win the SEC tourney and go deep in the Dance…

    The FACT remains that Pearl & Co. choke it up in the SEC and NCAA Tourneys. By stating that FACT it does not mean that I am saying UT is a bad team. Maybe that changes this year, maybe it does not. Got it now, douche?!

    Well said Cooter

  86. 2008 February 6

    I agree with you about the SEC tournament.. there is no excuse for that.

    But the NCAAs? Taking a team without any real depth to the sweet 16 is not what I would call…”choking it up in the tourney” I don’t think many people expected Tennessee to even get that far…

  87. 2008 February 6

    grillviper:
    Never have I stated that UF is the class of the SEC this year. However, for a young team they have exceeded expectations. I never expected them to be 18-5 at this point (which is damn good considering these are 5 guys who have never played together before this season). I don’t expect them to win the SEC and I didn’t expect them to beat UT last night. UT won the game, plain and simple, fair and square.

    gatorhippy permalink

    Hell no, i didn’t expect the gators to win…

    I turned the game at the half and about shat myself when I saw they were up by 4…

    When I saw the first half highlights with Billy trying to have these kids run with the Vols, I knew it wasn’t going to be good at the end…

    You could see the shooting fade, the passing weaken, the defense get sloppy and the decision making bcome poor as the Gators faded physically…

    In the end, superior skill wasn’t necessarily the factor for the win as much as bench depth and maturity for the Vols…

    BTW, LL, I’m sure he doesn’t get it…

  89. 2008 February 6

    “But we didn’t expect to win…”

    “We’re young and inexperienced…”

    The Vols are legitimately one of the 6-8 teams that can win the NCAA Tournament this year. Why would anyone be surprised of the outcome? Don’t talk about youth or injuries, it’s a matter of lining up and playing with what you’ve got. If you’ve got less, the other team is probably going to win. Isn’t that what happened in football?

    Good grief, Viper…

    Perhaps this would make you happy…

    The Gators are a premier power in hoops and no matter how young and inexperienced they are Pearl has shown he can beat Billy…

    Yes, the Vol are superior in every way and there is no other explanation for the loss last night other than this…

    It is simply mojo that Pearl owns and he will always beat Billy more often than not because he is simply just a superior individual…

    This also should be regarded by Vol fans that every time they do win this game no matter how many times they have won it before to essentially act as though they have won a national title and susequently hang their hat on this “signature” in…

    In addition since this is the case all Gator fans should hereby just accept it and not comment on it at all as the overall prowess and accomplishments do not count in this contest as only the actual UF/UT game will matter and be a measure of which program is better…

    Of course then conversely, we should also aknowledge that follwing this standard that the ators own Pil and Co. on the gridiron and subsequently all Vol fans should accept this in the same manner and simply rescind any and all comments regarding anything to do with the state of Florida Football…

    Or we could all just continue to have a good time and talk shit at each other…

    Personally…

    I prefer the latter…

    This just occurred to me…

    “Excuses are for you-know-what’s”

    But two posts earlier, Grill, your delivering excuses as to why the Vols have made early exits from the NCAAs…

    “But the NCAAs? Taking a team without any real depth to the sweet 16 is not what I would call…”choking it up in the tourney” I don’t think many people expected Tennessee to even get that far”…

    So guess it’s okay for UT to “make excuses” but not UF?

    Maybe try to walk what your preaching, Mr Messiah…
