MAZE AND MYLES … AND GHOST’S ALL SMILES Before I get into this, I want to congratulate Alabama and its fans (everybody but Phocion, that is) for another banner Signing Day. Wow, what a haul. I hope the Vols can get back to competing with you guys before long. Nick Saban has certainly set...

Check back shortly before tip-off (9:00 Eastern), as I’ll be posting notes throughout the game below.  Instead of the way we’ve done it the last few times with the software, this one will be the old fashioned way.  You can comment just like you would on a normal post, but make sure you...

Before I get started on this, I want to apologize to the readers of 3SIB for being absent lately.  I know that I’ve been around to do a couple live blogs with Ghost and put up a scattered post here and there, but I’ve been noticeably absent since the Christmas holiday.  The end of foot...

Well, I got some sesame chicken and a couple cookies in me (health food) and I’m ready to get this show on the road. In case you didn’t know, Memphis basketball = Alabama football in my mind. These douchebiscuits think they’re God’s gift to basketball, but the Vols are 7-2 ag...

I’ve been asked or have read a variation of the same question at least five times today: Is the Bruce Pearl Honeymoon over? Of course those people are referring to last night’s Kentucky domination over the Vols at Thompson-Boling Arena in which Jodie Meeks continually drank our milkshake...

OK, I really wanted to leave "The Weekly Grind" at the top of the blog. And I have also tried hard to spare everyone of Kentucky Basketball propaganda. That said, I just watched the greatest individual performance in college basketball I have ever seen, and I cannot help it. Jodie Meeks--a junior wh...

I’m going to be short and not-so-sweet tonight. Tennessee lost twice on Wednesday, and I’m just thankful the Vols didn’t lose three times. First of all, we lost at the final buzzer of regulation with pretty boy/douchebag/Vols killer Matt Bouldin drove to the hoop for what would hav...

Editor’s note: Part of this blog is deeply personal, and really, I wrote it because I needed to get it off my chest. I selfishly wrote this one for me. But what I said, I needed to say. So, proceed with caution… and thank you. Not everybody hangs their dirty laundry on  the clothes line...

I’m going to keep this short and sweet — like Tennessee’s trip to the NCAA tournament will be unless something drastic happens. I’ve got nothing against a 79-77 win over Belmont today, even though the Bruins are now 4-4 and have very little size and the game was played at Tho...

I need a shrink when I’m watching the Vols basketball team this year. Or some really strong drugs, at least. At times during last night’s 80-68 win over No. 23 Marquette at Nashville’s Sommet Center, I was alternately deflated, frustrated and, finally, elated. The Vols just play so...
