Tennessee outscored Vanderbilt 57-39 in the second half last night to even the Vols’ conference record. The win in Nashville is the first of two games UT plays this week ranked No. 24 in the AP Poll. And, though winning in Memorial Gymnasium registers well with fans, it barely moves the needle for Tennessee’s postseason…
Tennessee’s season just might hang in the balance on Saturday when it plays host to the 17th-ranked Kentucky Wildcats (12-2, 2-0 SEC). It’s still a bit too early to completely write off the Vols (9-4, 0-2 SEC), but dropping the first three conference games after such a promising start would not bode well for a…
Last Week: 5-4 Season Record: 97-83-7 Smart Home Fix Lock of the Week: Ohio State -7.5 vs. USC (Friday 8:30) Here you have a team that has a legitimate argument at a playoff spot versus a team whose quarterback choked for 12 games when he should’ve won the Heisman trophy. Come Bowling With Me: …
Last Week: 6-3-1 Season Record: 92-79-7 Smart Home Fix Lock of the Week: SMU -5 vs. Louisiana Tech (Wednesday 8:00) Ok, here’s some data. Over the last seven seasons there have been 26 bowl games where a team’s coach has either been fired/left for another position. SMU is in that spot. In those games, the…

Last Week: 6-2 Season Record: 86-76-6 Smart Home Fix Lock of the Week: MTSU +3.5 vs. Arkansas State (Saturday 8:00) Middle Tennessee’s crowning achievement this year was beating Syracuse in the Carrier Dome. That Syracuse team beat Clemson. That has absolutely nothing to do with why I’m choosing MTSU. Arkansas State builds a reputable program…
Tennessee let Lipscomb hang around late into the second half on a groggy Saturday afternoon, but the Vols pulled a sloppy one out in the end, 81-71, and moved to 7-1 on the season. Tennessee came in to the game shooting nearly 43 percent from the 3-point line this season, and came out right on…
Last Week: 3-3 Season Record: 80-74-6 Smart Home Fix Lock of the Week: Bears + 6 at Bengals (Sunday 1:00) Cincinnati covered Monday night’s game against Pittsburgh but let a second-half, 10-point lead slip away. I’m not sure how anybody can trust this team. Expect Chicago to give Cincy a steady diet of runs and…
