Wow! What a game! As I expected, it took a great game by the Hogs to win. Hill probably had the best 2 point game of his career – what a shot!
Now, go Bulldogs! We need to get some revenge over them.
[Inside my brain as I watch the last few seconds of the game....]
“Stephen Hill?……Oh my gosh, No!!! Stephen Hill!!……..YES!!!!!!!! Stephen Hill!!!!!
What a game!!! What a shot!!! Couldn’t have happend to a better kid; Way To Go, Steven!!!
On a pathetic note: why is it when some athletes and/or programs experience success they have to immediately fall all over themselves to show their ass? Did anyone see Tennessee’s #2 (one of the Smiths, I think…)? He was yappin’ at Pelphrey…! Our coach! Where do you get balls to be that arrogant? I had teammates back in the day who wouldn’t have hesitated to bitch slap me for such bush league bullshit. There was some justice today but all too often this sort of behavior is reinforced not rebuked. And that only encourages the same or worse behavior in the fans.
Still, did you see the faces of the Vols at the end of the game? Priceless! GO HOGS!!!!!!!
What a great game. I had to come inside from working on my chicken coop to catch the ending. I celebrated the win with a beer and called it a day.
What a win, what a win……………….now, you’ve been here before (last year)………….let’s win it this time………….Seniors, Go out as SEC tournament champs!!!!!!
Go Hogs Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great game, great shot, and i hope a great ending to, an up to this point, a streaky season. press georgia from the moment they walk on the court for the shoot around. it would be something to see this team go from a 10/12 seed to a 4/5/6 seed in a matter of 3 days. madness it is.
Semohog——–right on! Press them the entire game without a second’s rest and we win by 20+. Let’s see what Coach P comes up with.
For the fist time all year, I saw this team play unselfishly, determined, gutsy, smart, and actually hold intensity for 40 minutes. I’m sure anyone who’s read any of my latest basketball post, know’s I haven’t been too impressed with Charles Thomas, Vincent Hunter, and Steven Hill. Thomas not only played great, but considering the competition, he probably played the best game of his career yesterday. I thought Hunter did more than shoot 3s yesterday. He had a blocked shot, and played pretty well on the glass too. Hill didn’t play great, but he did have a couple of blocks, and had some solid rebounding, and what can you say about that last shot? Steven Hill? Get atta here!! Steve Shall was a better outside shooter, if that tell’s you anything. Steven Hill? Unbelievable!! GO HOGS GO!!!!! BEAT THEM DAWGS!!!!!
