We are getting it done tonight, no excuses.

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

I spose I'll be there

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

I have to work unfortunately, gonna have to crank up the DVR.

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

Only 36-23 in favor of UT?? Must have been a pretty close series not too long ago because I swear we lose both to UT every year.. at least it seems like we have for the past 4 seasons or so.

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

Prior to the Bruce Pearl era we owned UT. At least during my lifetime. Hasn't been that way since.

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

If by "getting it done" you mean finding another way to lose in embarrassing fashion then yes we will get it done.

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

Thanks for ALL your team spirit! :thumbs:

I believe we CAN win tonight! :woo:

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

Gotta do the obvious. Shoot better and we could win.

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

You know, I have had zero confidence in this team all year, but I have this feeling in my gut that we may just get it done this evening and walk out of CLA with a W. It just feels like we will win. Can't explain why, just a crazy gut feeling.

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

Haven't they beaten us 10 straight? That would be about 4 seasons, well 5 seasons.

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

Kinda sorta. They beat us in the SEC tourney in 08. The night the tornado hit the dome. Chris Loften hit a 3 with about 9 seconds left. We played our best game of that year that day. Our last win was 5 years ago this weekend

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

Yup.

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

It's because deep down, as much as you don't want to admit it, we do have the talent to hang with a Tennessee. We just have to find a way to get the ball in the hole.

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

Who is the little white kid dressed out for our team on the end of the bench?

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

well that was a quick turnover, and dumb foul.

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

and turnover number 2 on the 2nd possession. why doesnt bruce just keep attacking the basket?

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

Awesome atmosphere...

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

Text book ugly shots. Some look like knuckle balls.

Re: **USC vs. Tennessee GAME Thread**
 

Can Cooke not dunk? Haha
