Does anyone know when tickets will go on sale?

Where is the game?

[Phi Iota Gamma 84]

Nashville

[MU B2002]

I thought I heard in July, but I could be wrong.

This game strikes me as a potential ass whooping.

In whose favor, nola?

[Nukem2]

I suspect MU should be favored in this game.  First, the game is in Nashville not on UT's home floor in Knoxville.  Second, UT has some hard graduation losses and two tlaented guys who played good minutes were kicked off the team.  This is not the same UT team and may not be ready early in the season (even with Hopson and the big guy who was release from AZ ).  Third, MU has quite a cast of seasoned perimeter players.  MU by 5.

Advantage Tennessee.

Home crowd.

Pearl's teams play better early in the season when they catch opponents unawares.

MU still trying to figure out Buzz' winning style in the early days.

And the necomers the Vols have next season with Negedu, Hopson, and Maze to combine with Tyler Smith, Chism, and Prince and they could be one of the most talented teams we play.

My heart says MU, but my head says the Vols. Nontheless, I'll be watching with full Warrior bodypaint on.

 I would love to go to that game.  Nashville is a fun place to visit.  What day is it on?
I love our experience againt Tenn, but Pearl with have his crew fired up for his own revenge against MU.

[Nukem2]

The MU coach and AD have changed since the Pearl left UWM and MU and UW-M now have a contract.  The revenge factor has now become kind of a non-event.  I would say that MU will be charged up for this game with the experience factor winning out over UT.

I only bet on sure things....Take MU.

lol...someone will remember this.

Maybe Crean jumped to Indiana so he would not be forced to go against Pearl.

[MU B2002]

On a side note, Vanderbilt will also be playing S Florida on the same day, at the same venue.

Bruce Pearl still remembers he couldn't get a deal when he was there and had good team.
Just like Jimmy Collins (UIC coach currently, formely Illinois assistant) remembers Bruce tried to rat him out for supposedly paying a recruit (Deon Thomas) while Bruce was at Iowa.  Jimmy Collins still refuses to shake his hand.
You move on, but you never forget.
