The blogger has been bogged down this week with tests, grading and some occupational manueverings (Goodbye GPS - Hello McCallie!). I have missed some exciting stuff in Knoxville and miserable stuff in Denver.
The Lady Vols won back-to-back National Championships on Tuesday night with an impressive win over Stanford. I'm not going to pretend to know much about women's basketball, but I thought Stanford would get the Vols. The Cardinal (the color, not the bird) were rolling in the tournament, but they had not faced a defense like the one UT clamped down upon them. The Vols harassed in the halfcourt and took the ball with their 3/4 court traps. They led early and held on late.
The interesting story coming out of the game was Candace Parker's decision to turn pro. Apparently, with the shoulder injury and maybe some sentimentality after the championship, Parker waited until the last minutes to file her paperwork for the WNBA draft. There are reports that Parker's paperwork, due at 10:00 a.m., were handed to the WNBA at 9:55. Wow.
The other good news out of Knoxville is the non-announcement of Tyler Smith. So far, so good. While the draft keeps loading up with underclassmen (including my own protege DeAndre Jordan), Tyler continues to be a Vol.
Keep your fingers crossed.

I'm guessing your interview went well?
It did. I'm excited about it.
