Does it blow your mind how many people are already blasting Cuonzo?

Yes and no.
I get why people are struggling to adjust to the style of play, but even Cuonzo doesn't want the low numbers of possessions and points. PGs just need to play faster. But the amount of frustration from some is silly, IMO. This team is on track at the moment to be in the tournament, if you believe those bracketology types, and it should continue getting better unless some new problems emerge.

Wes what are your thoughts on those that cheer for the SEC in bowl games especially our big rivals? I personally think it's doesn't do Tennessee any favors by winning.

I see both sides, but as long as a national championship isn't at stake, I think it helps UT more than hurts UT when SEC teams dominate bowl games. But, again, I see both sides of the argument.

How many Vandy fans showed up at the Music City Bowl, and is there anything we can do as fans to put Vandy back in its place?

Bring them anchors to keep the tarps over the seats from blowing away next year?

What do you see as the main differences between Peterman and Worley? Who has the stronger arm, who is more mobile, etc?

Not hijacking Wes' thread. Just wanted to welcome MooreVol and say thanks for posting.

1. Good question. Don't know.
2. Just give it time. It's UT-Vandy. Can't last long.
