Armchair Talking Head

Memorial Coliseum is cruel, just ask Bruce Pearl. Vandy jumped on quickly, and was in control for the vast majority of the game. The announcers on ESPN constantly make a huge deal of the layout of Memorial Coliseum in Nashville with it’s benches on the ends of the court rather than the sides. They exaggerate this to the point of insanity for most games, but there isn’t a more involved coach in basketball that Bruce Pearl. Putting him a full court away from his team hurt in a big way.

Tennessee is still one hell of a ball club, and the three Tennessee teams (Vandy, UT, and Memphis) will without a doubt be players deep into the tourney.

Classy Vandy…classy.

Around the homefront, the Woo Pigs come calling tomorrow night at 7 in the latest installment of CMG Trainwreck 2008. We took them into OT on a miracle Riley 3 when we played them in Fayetteville earlier in the season. Unless CMG draws up an inbounds play, hell any play, and comes up with some perimeter D, look for more of the same out of the Tide.  See you @ Coleman, Mark.  I’ll be the oversized leprechaun in section T booing you.
