Anyone else watching? Pat Summit just came on the floor with the cheerleaders and sang Good Old Rocky Top and now stood on the shoulders of some cheerleaders. Wow the crowd is pumped up, I hope this Gator team can rise to the challenge. Pat Summit, Phil Fulmer, Peyton Manning, I hope this isn't to much for my little Gators.
This is no contest, Tennessee is destroying the Gators 39-21 and I'm not sre it is really that close. Our number one seed could be turning into a 3 or 4 seed. But make no mistake Tennessee looks really good.
Looks like you guys are going to lose. Billy D needs to get the team regrouped for the SEC Tourney and make a good run there.
Oh My GOD!. What a game. It's a great day to be a Vol. The Gators made it exciting the last 20 minutes but just got too far behind in the 1st half. Summitt was a good sport supporting the Men that way. Cindy
Congratulation Cindy & Tom on the win over the Gators. Bill, looks like Florida is sort of out of sync? Don
I wasn't going to watch, but when I was spinning the dial I happened upon the Vols with a 27 point lead and I had to check that out. What in the world has happened to the Gators? Are they fading down the stretch? Dickie V sounded as if he has real doubts about them.
JO'Co, you missed the real excitment at the first timeout when Pat Summit came out. I think the Gators are a bit out of sync, but Tennessee was lights out tonight and when Summit came out and fired up the fans, and there are 24,000 fans there, shortly after the Vols went on a17-0 run. I have to say this is the reason I love College sports as compared to the Pros. You would never see what went on at that gym tonight in the pros. Even though we just got our butts creamed I love what Perle and Summit did for each other. Terry, the Gators better beat Kentucky Sat then do well in the SEC tournament or we are likely to fall to a 3 or 4 seed. Gator Bill
It's all a clever trick by UF. They are trying to re-create the end of last season! Lose 3 in a row, then reel off 11 wins to take home the big trophy. Very tricky those swamp lizards... :wink: I wonder who will take up the #1 seed formerly occupied by the Gators??
I am on my way home to see the recorded game on Tivo. I will wait until I watch it to comment. Sounds like I missed a good one.
I have one main comment to make: What heart this Florida team has. To go down by 27 with 16 minutes left in the game and come back to only lose by 10 is simply amazing. I am extremely proud of my Tennessee team that could play so well against such a great opponent. Yes, today it is great to be a Tennessee Vol!
Great game by UT, congrats on the win. Just too much for the Feb-07 Gators MBB team. Pat S was a hoot; gotta really appreciate what she and BP are doing with/for their teams and fans. After last night, I guess Gators fans gotta ask .... will the real slim sha .... er Gator Boyz please stand up, please stand up, please stand up ...... and hope we see the guys from a year ago. Having said that, this particular group of young men has been a joy to watch over the last two seasons. AFA I'm concerned, if they don't make it too far into the NCAA tourney, I'll still celebrate what they accomplished over the last 16-17 months.
Me too Gaterz, but I am hoping we can make some noise in the NCAA's. If I have if figured right if we would go out now we would need 10 in row, last year we did it with 11 in a row. So this team has an easier row to hoe! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Gator Bill
MIssed the game but watched Coach Summit on the youtube video....outstanding. Wish I could have been there. Great environment....those Vols are a pesky bunch anyway. With that kind of crowd they would be downright nasty. Congrats on the win. Coach Summit is one of the great coaches of our day - men, women, hoops, anything. A brilliant coach and a great, great lady. Vol fans you are lucky to have her. Thanks for sharing....
Did Pat really put on a Cheerleaders outfit and get on the top of the Pyramid? The girl who does that in most pyramids is usually 5' and 100lbs or less. I doubt Pat is either!!
Great night for the Vols and their fans. It seemed like Tenn was on full speed and UF was on 3/4 speed until the run by Fla at the 16 minute mark. I am hoping it will be that Florida team and that Noah that we will see in the NCAAs. I hope they can turn it on for the tourney as easy as some like Vitale think they can. I do think UF lost a step since clinching the SEC title and also Tenn was shooting absolutely lights out at times as many UF opponents seem to be able to do lately. Sometimes in the NCAAs those contested shots are a lot harder to make.

Heckuva game. I watched it in my motel room in Indy, where I spent the past couple of days on business. Tom, Pat Summit has grabbed another Hoosier. Her name is Sydney Smallbone. Heckuva name, huh? She plays for South Bend St. Joseph HS, literally across the 4-lane street from Notre Dame.
