And just how many Final 4's and SEC Championships has Tennessee won in the past 25 years???? When have they been on the top? Are they a good team? YES. Are they ranked? Yes. But they arent Duke, North Carolina, Michigan State, or Kentucky.

So is driving over the speed limit. Just because its against the law Doesnt stop students/fans from doing it though

Hey man, take it easy. I tell you what. If you beat us in March, go ahead and storm the floor if it makes you feel better.

I myself don't understand why Tennessee is too good to storm the court. They have never been on top. When's the last time they were number one or beat a number one. And no we would not storm if we beat Tennessee. That happens fairly regularly. I guess it just seems like they would have rushed the floor after losing their players. I mean nobody expected them to be that good still.

Apparently they thought that they still had a chance and it wasn't that big of a deal for them. At least not enough to storm the Summit

If I were you, I'd probably do some research before posting a comment like that. I believe we went into Memphis, who was riding the nations longest home winning streak and beat them when they were #1 in '08. That put us ranked 1st...at least for a week . And you don't have to understand why Tennessee is "too good" to rush the court. Just simply accept it.

And about this comment...yes, you did beat UT in the tourney last year, but being down 74-39 in the all-time series is far from beating Tennessee regularly.

FWIW I was at the game last night and in the corner below the student section there was a crowd that formed to storm the floor. The announcers came on, as usual, and made the threat of arrest and losing ticket privileges to anyone caught trespassing on the court. When the horn blew one guy ran out onto the floor and jumped around with the players but quickly he realized he was running solo. He came back to the side with some encouragement from the suits but the threat of trespassing was enough

exactly. Tennessee isn't too good to rush the court, that is bs. If security had allowed it they'd have been partying on the floor like every other fanbase would have.

WOW threatening to arrest college kids and taking away their tickets is pretty lame. Glad to know the REAL reason why the Student section didnt storm the floor.

I didn't want to do research for something I don't really care about. That's why I asked you the question which you somehow turned into me talking crap to you.

Because we like to talk bsketball sometimes and it rarely gets talked about on this site and a state guy started the thread.
