This was utter nonsense, of course, but the reporter caused all sorts of problems before Roy finally proved him wrong.<br /><br />That's where Tipton is today -- he acts like the villain in a 1970's sports comic book.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-49606237039329771242016-02-17T17:49:00.260-05:002016-02-17T17:49:00.260-05:00He's all class.<a href="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/basketball-2/isaiah-briscoe-has-the-perfect-response-to-a-classic-jerry-tipton-question/" rel="nofollow">He's all class.</a>Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-68518703811007821042016-02-17T11:22:24.925-05:002016-02-17T11:22:24.925-05:00I just want to point out that last night, in Stark...I just want to point out that last night, in Starkville, Vandy led Mississippi State 62-46 with only 12:29 left in the game. A road win there would have moved Vandy to 8-5 in the SEC, and put them in a good position to make the NCAA's. Instead, they collapsed, losing 75-74.<br /><br />Ken Pomeroy's system ranks Vandy as the 29th best team in the country, but they are now 15-11 overall and 7-6 in the SEC, and their chances of making the tournament are now very shaky.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-60956945992166763172016-02-17T11:18:23.383-05:002016-02-17T11:18:23.383-05:00Reading Tipton's coverage of Calipari is like ...Reading Tipton's coverage of Calipari is like reading National Review's coverage of Donald Trump.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-79769356823655349842016-02-17T08:49:17.512-05:002016-02-17T08:49:17.512-05:00I'm going to ask my 87-year-old mother to leav...<a href="http://www.kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-basketball-men/article60538061.html" rel="nofollow">I'm going to ask my 87-year-old mother to leave a voice message for Jerry Tipton saying that she thinks the SEC is a jive league and that she thinks Sirmons should be fired and then see what he writes.</a>Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-43520364034709987202016-02-16T13:29:17.247-05:002016-02-16T13:29:17.247-05:00For the record, the GOP debate that evening turned...For the record, the GOP debate that evening turned out to be a hum-dinger.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-80356473241590006812016-02-16T12:48:08.046-05:002016-02-16T12:48:08.046-05:00That win over South Carolina was unbelievable.
