I don't see this changing as Rick is in his twilight years.
I don't know how much longer Barnes will go, but I tip my hat to him. He has helped make Tennessee a very respectable rivalry game once again. I'm giving a shout out to Byington as well, having Vandy and a tough place to play like old times, UT and Vandy! Hardknoxville and miserable gym ! Tough teams, well coached. Some of those out of bounds plays Barnes draws up, though. egads. Killer plays. I won't miss those. HA! Old school undervalued coach. Still can't believe he hasn't gotten the Vols to a Final Four yet. If it's not him, then who? And if not now, when ?
And to think of all those games we've played. I sure don't mind NOT having to go to Stokely athletic center to watch them play now.. is it 163- 78 now ?? Yeah. Check. 163 - 78 since 1910. roger.
Always sweet to SWEEP up on top of Rocky Top !
and the journey continues !
Go Big Blue ! (on to Texas)
