What a game. Thoughts from Rupp:
* At no point during the game did anyone even consider the fact that UT would keep it close or do anything beside take the ***-whipping they got. Sometimes you just know.
* Didn't see Antigua on the bench. Was that addressed on the broadcast?
Collins looked gimpy. In the first half a trainer passed him what looked like a massager on the downlow and he looked like he might be dealing with cramps or something. In person, that guy has chicken legs.
* A UT fan was raving about Wheeler in line for the bathroom and he was right. I actually like UT basketball fans. They are generally knowledgable and really love basketball.
* UT's squad is Eurotrash.
* I may or may not have made the Hunk Cam. They showed my wife and the fat guy in front of me, who immediately stood up and starting dancing. Good for him and his moves.
* The Rupp experience is vastly improved. Everything is dialed in. No lulls, 5G, parachuting tshirts -- the works.
* Brooks' statline wasn't great but that was far and away the best game I've seen from him. He played within himself, passed, and did some dirty work. He even hit an open three to keep his scouting report semi-honest. I'll take that from him every day.
* Wheeler, Washington, and Grady are something else, man. They are so cerebral and skilled -- watching them on offense is like watching a team of Mayo surgeons conduct an autopsy.
* UKO is a jerkoff.
