Questions heading into Vols-Kentucky game?

  • 'Sup, Cats?

    How are things on the Frozen Blue Tundra?

    Y'all got any questions from the Vols' side heading into tomorrow's game?

    If so, I'll be happy to answer them.

    If not ... well, whatever. I tried.

  • As an addendum, y'all b-holes better at least upvote me for the overwhelming generosity I showed in starting a thread.

  • I've got a few:

    1) What did Cuonzo actually say in that phone call to the league office about Jarnell Stokes' foul troubles? Goodness. Dude has gone all Carlos Boozer since then...

    2) Just how sensational is Skylar McBee's mustache? Are we talking Val Kilmer in Tombstone good yet?

    3) Have you set up a 'Harlem Shake' deal for the media tomorrow?

    I'll hang up and listen. Thanks.

  • Only thing I want to know is is the flu going around Knoxville? Hoping Stokes gets a mild case and isn't 100% for the game tomorrow but then he can make a full recovery on Sunday. He will get our bigs in serious foul trouble I am afraid.

    And I was down in Knoxville a couple of weeks ago and went to the Vandy game. I think McBee has a full goatee now. I remember it wasn't the pornstache.

    1) I think it was Skype, and he just gave one of those menacing stares that could cut steel.

    2) He looks like a Civil War general.

    3) Don't YouTube search the UT men's swimming team's version. Just trust me. So many Speedos.

    Crazy thing about it is both Maymon and Stokes weigh 270 and have body-fat percentages below 10%.

    I think both of them eat only raw meat.

  • Thanks for stopping by. Sadly, I haven't paid enough attention this season to warrant any valid questions so I'll just say thanks for stopping by.

    FYI, Skyler McBee looks him and Pedo bear get along entirely too well. just sayin'

    I still think he looks like a Civil War general.

    McBee's accent is one of the most unique I've ever covered. You wouldn't guess he's like nearly a 4.0 GPA kid, but he is.

    So how come you all haven't nicknamed him General McLee yet?

  • Why is Wes rucker so defensive? From his whining on twitter about 24/7 - 247 - 2 4 7... Do demanding upvotes it sure seems like he's having a bad few weeks.

    Oh yeah, now I know why. Ut hired one of three bcs coaches that Dooley actually beat to replace Dooley......

  • Dude what happened to Maymon? I thought the kid graduated. He must be hurt or something but I never heard somehow. You guys would be tourney bound for sure if you had him. He took a ton of pressure off Stokes.

    He tore a knee meniscus late last season but played through it, and he had surgery after the season. Just when he got back from rehab this summer, he noticed his other knee was sore. They scanned it and found the beginnings of a meniscus tear in the other knee, so they went in and fixed that one, too. Then he got a really nasty post-surgical infection and couldn't bend the knee for a while.

    They decided to shut him down and redshirt him so he could be 100 percent for next season. He's practicing a bit on the side but wouldn't have been able to be really healthy until sometime this spring or summer.

    He'll be a fifth-year senior next season.

    And, yeah, Maymon makes a big difference. At 6-7, 265-270, he's the same height as Murphy Holloway but 20 pounds bigger, and he has less than 10 percent body fat. He's a freak. Looks like an NFL D-end, and he moves like a wing. Really good player. It took them a couple of months to figure out how to play without him.

    Skylar McBee: Getting heckled on the road

    Maybe it's the longish hair and the mustache. Who knows? Skylar McBee gets his fair share of heckling from the opponents fans on the road, but it doesn't bother him a bit.
