Site News: Upgrades in Progress

Just an FYI…
Gate 21 is undergoing updates and upgrades today, as Lawvol tries to shift to the newest and fanciest version of Wordpress — Wordpress 2.5.
Thus, it is possible that things might look a bit out of place or generally messed-up during the process. Please bear with us while the “brain trust” tries to [...]

CBS = Complete Bull Sh*t

I intentionally waited a few days before airing this complaint, mainly because I didn’t want my vitriol to be mistaken as nothing more than “sour grapes” over the BasketVols loss to the Louisville Cardinals.
Trust me, this has nothing to do with Tennessee, Louisville, or any other specific team…
For the past … well, it seems like [...]

On a Lighter Note: Bruce Pearl … Superfly

I somehow managed to miss these yesterday in the run-up to the game against Louisville, but the boys over at Awful Announcing have discovered a site with pictures of Bruce Pearl from his high school yearbook, with a Superfly afro.

All I can say to that hairdo is … “Baaauun-Chicka-Baaun-Chow“
Man, I find more reasons to [...]

They will be tested, that is for sure, but everything tells me that tonight Bruce and the Barbarians will be ready, and will not disappoint.
Though [...]

Pearl’s “Absolute”

In case you haven’t noticed, with their win over the Butler Bulldogs, the Tennessee Volunteers recorded their 31st victory, further distancing themselves from the prior record of 26. This is a feat which, only a few years ago, would have seemed as laughable and unlikely as learning that Bear Bryant was secretly a transvestite [...]

Headlines, Links & Lies … The Lull Edition

Uh Oh, I Think Pitino is trying to call Bruce Almighty Out …
 

Since we have a few days until the next game on the schedule, and I am in a continued lazy spell, here are a few links worth looking at from across the internet as we await the Sweet 16 matchups later this week…

BasketVols Take on Butler

Well, I’ve really been sucking the past few days in getting things posted in a timely fashion about the NCAA Tournament. I was planning an article on the Tennessee vs. Butler matchup, but the game begins in around 10 minutes, so that hardly seems worth the trouble at this point.
Nonetheless, in the interest of [...]
