Almost Time…

BB 00 BasketVols Almost Time... Gate 21 Despite all of the hullabaloo surrounding the Tennessee Volunteers’ Football program, there is still something to get excited about—basketball season is almost here…

Yes, friends and neighbors it is almost time for the regular season tip-off for both the BasketVols and the Lady Vols.  In case you hadn’t noticed, I have added an interactive schedule for the BasketVols in the right sidebar (that’s this way arrow-right for those of you who are directionally challenged) which not only will show you the who and when, but will also show you the “where” via a handy-dandy little interactive map which is integrated into the widget.  This widget is courtesy of my friends over at Schmap.com who have these little jewels (along with a lot of other cool things) for every major team in the country.

So far, the BasketVols have looked like a team that is working the kinks out, and learning about life without last year’s seniors (Chris Lofton, Jajuan Smith, and Jordan Howell).  Still, with some absolutely fabulous new talent, Bruce and the Barbarians look set to make a run at the SEC title again this year.  One of the things I love about Coach Pearl is that—finally—Tennessee Basketball fans have a reason to be excited when the season rolls around.  The graphic below (which I found over at UTSports.com) shows just how substantial an impact Bruce Pearl has had at Tennessee in only a few short years.

The BasketVols tip-off the season versus UT-Chattanooga at the Tommy Bowl on 15 November at 7:00 pm.  For more information on the BasketVols, be sure and check out what is simply the best blog covering Tennessee Basketball anywhere: The BruceBall Blog.

BB 01 LadyVols Almost Time... Gate 21 As for the Lady Vols, well, Pat Summitt is guaranteed to be in the mix when March rolls around.  Do we dare think that she might bring home her ninth national championship this year?

Either way, no matter what is going on across Big Orange Country, there is definitely a reason to be primed for the excitement…

About the Author:  "Lawvol" -- I'm just a guy living in North Carolina who has an unnatural fascination with the color orange. Just because I'm a Tennessee alum and die-hard Volunteer fan doesn't mean that I can't poke a little fun at the Big Orange and anybody else for that matter. Feel free to complain all you want. >> Read more from this author
