It was too late last night when the game got over for me to remember to share my thoughts on this (the game didn’t get over til after 12:30am if I recall correctly), but man it sure was exciting watching the Vols beat Iowa State last night and punch their ticket to a third straight Elite 8 in the NCAA basketball tournament.

I sure hope they can find a way to pull off another one against Michigan tomorrow and finally get to the Final Four. Haters be damned, Coach Barnes does a heckuva job with his teams every year. I hope he stays at Tennessee til he retires. He’s an awesome coach.
