Florida Vs. Tennessee Game Thread: Gators Want To Score Early Win In Knoxville

Florida Gators at Tennessee Volunteers, Jan 7, 2012 11:00 AM EST


If this game seems like it's on early, that's because it is.

Tipoff Time

7:00 p.m. Eastern

TV, Radio and Streaming Information

The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2. You can also watch it streaming online through Watch ESPN. The radio broadcast will also be available on the Gator Radio Network.

What to Watch For

Florida has no true road wins on the season. Can the Gators get one against an undermanned Tennessee squad that has lost to Oakland and Austin Peay and struggled with East Tennessee State and UNC-Asheville?

Game Thread Guidelines

Try to remember that, despite how emotional watching a Gators game can be, there's no reason to be abusive. Rant, curse, or exult if you must, but keep the personal attacks to a minimum.

Furthermore, and I will stress this until I am blue in the face or until FlaGators admits that I'm right, comments with both a subject line and text are much easier to read when scrolling through a thread. Try to keep that in mind.

I dislike UT much less now that Pearl is gone. That guy was a very sweaty douche.

This 11:00 am stuff better not be a trend.

My brain isn’t designed to work (such as it does) until at least noon, especially on the weekend.

Oh, come on. Don't leave your uncle T-bag hangin'.

not the team's

I hear ya. Way too early. I mean, there is a reason I will never live outside of the Eastern Time Zone, and early games (sports wise) are one of the main reasons.

I feel the need to remind you guys...

that Buzz Peterson’s teams beat the Gators more than a couple of times, including 3 of 4 right before he got fired. It didn’t suddenly make you guys a bad team.

The big problem we’ve had thus far is Kenny Hall not showing up for games. When he’s on we can play with anyone, and when he’s off we literally have NOTHING inside and lose to Austin Peay.

by Caban on Jan 7, 2012 3:43 PM EST up reply actions  

Oh we’ll be alright. Just some early jitters. But yeah, I’ve seen that Kenny Hall kid get hot.

Anyone think we can make the Final Four with Walker as our point? I’m saying no. Hes too wreckless with the ball.

by GatorJustin on Jan 7, 2012 11:28 AM EST via mobile reply actions  

nope

He made it to the Elite 8 last year and won the SEC...

and that was with a less talented team, although more experienced. I was thinking a return to the elite 8 before the season started. When they play well, final four seems reachable but after games like today…not so much.

Tiger Woods has a better chance of getting back together Elin, than we do of making the Final Four.

by FlaGators on Jan 7, 2012 3:20 PM EST up reply actions  

Final Four teams dont always dominate the entire season.

No way our chances are that low. I dont think todays game represents what the rest of the season will be like, by far.

At least one of the teams came to play. UF is flat.

by GatorJustin on Jan 7, 2012 11:42 AM EST via mobile reply actions  

This team is really starting to piss me off.

Listen to them, the children of the night. What sweet music they make.

Poor play by the Gators

and now the broadcast is subjecting us to Rocky Top on loop

by whambam on Jan 7, 2012 11:48 AM EST reply actions  

The glaring weaknesses of this team are beginning to kill them.

Billy has got a much bigger coaching job this season than many people thought.

Oh, come on. Don't leave your uncle T-bag hangin'.

What a joke.

Oh, come on. Don't leave your uncle T-bag hangin'.

Great plan, Erv.

That’ll definitely get us back in this.

erv is a 2 guard

but not as good a 2 as kenny
unfortunately, we don’t have point guard on the team

Id like to see Boynton play PG

And let Wilbikin and Rosario rotate at SG.

At least we've got the AA bowl on in a little bit.

Come on Bullard!

how is UT 7-7?

quicker than us, better shooting and defense than us

by sportsman on Jan 7, 2012 12:34 PM EST reply actions  

They tested Duke earlier this season

but they’re last in the SEC in scoring defense. Gators are just flat today. Lazy on defense.

by whambam on Jan 7, 2012 12:36 PM EST up reply actions  

The offense is just broken today.

Directionless, pointless crap. They pass it around aimlessly for a bit, and then either try some impossible drive or jack up a contested three from NBA land. Just terrible.

Got in the car and turned on the radio.

Heard Mick say, well at least the Gators have recorded at least 7 3’s in each game this season. Today they’re 7-21.

Live by perimeter shooting, die by perimeter shooting.

I don’t trust this team in the tourney. One hiccup and we’re done.

by Landlubber on Jan 7, 2012 1:17 PM EST up reply actions  

in any game

young simply doesn’t have lost post scoring skills
and he’s better than murphy or regrette

Never thought I’d say this….but…is it football season yet? This team is a joke.

Track and field starts in like a week!

Meh. I can’t get into that, tho. :( Although, watching the relay team with Demps and them is a sight to see.

by Gators1 on Jan 7, 2012 4:02 PM EST up reply actions  

Well, spring ball will be here soon enough.

by FlaGators on Jan 7, 2012 4:08 PM EST up reply actions  

Yes! Atleast we are good in basically everything else.

by Gators1 on Jan 7, 2012 4:09 PM EST up reply actions  

You guys must not have been watching Gator basketball for very long

Every season there are losses like this, even the 07 team.

Our national championship teams sucked in the month of Feb. Both of them.
