Save those Vol ticket stubs

Bidding on this 1939 UT vs Alabama ticket stub is at $202.50 and still going strong with 5 days left.

Update: Guess it wasn’t “still going strong”. It just sold for $202.50. Still quite a price for an old ticket stub.

Vol stub

Baller Vol

New UT mens basketball player Renaldo Woolridge as skilled behind mic as on court. Nice article from Gary Parrish of CBSSports.com. Be sure to check out Renaldo’s latest rap: Baller Vol (very professional). Basketball season can’t get here fast enough!

For the Vol fan who has it all

Vol HummerA custom H3 Hummer  No price and no average MPG listed, go figure…

Number 8!

How about dem Lady Vols? National Champions for the 8th time, all under the leadership of Pat Summitt. Found this insightful Pat Summitt story in todays St. Petersburg Times. The best line:

Think of it like this. If Summitt was on the Memphis sideline on Monday night, don’t you think the Tigers might have had a better chance to hang on against Kansas? Yeah, me too.

Catch it if you can

Former Vol R.A. Dickey teaches Jim Caple of ESPN.com how to catch the knuckle ball.. well sorta.. lol

My favorite Vol hoopster of all time

Via The Vol Historian: Ernie G of Tennessee

Citing his love for the game, Ernie had a great line for Marvin West, who covered Ernie’s time at Tennessee for the then Knoxville News-Sentinel.

“I just enjoy going onto the blacktop and working in my jump shot,” he said.

West couldn’t resist another question. “How about a hot afternoon by yourself, just shooting and chasing rebounds?” he asked.

Grunfeld’s reply was on message: “There are not that many rebounds when I shoot.”

I will never forget the Kentucky game at Stokley during in the 1976-77 season (Ernie’s senior year). I sat in the student section. Acually, sat isn’t exactly right: I stood the whole first half and stood on my chair for the entire second half. Best basketball game I have ever attended and I’ve been to many. Ernie and Bernie were magic that night.

Coach Pearl being his usual impressive self on the Jim Rome show.

Way to go Dennis

Former Fulton Falcon and current University of Tennessee player Dennis Rogan is getting some serious props here and here (scroll down a bit). I saw this kid play several times in high school and he is the real deal. Always good to see a local kid succeed in sports or in life.

Ya gotta love this guy
