Not really, unless they come out flat and the Hokies are on fire.

I would think that would be a positive for the Illini who spend more time indoors than out at this time of year.

Clemson takes doubles! Maden brothers knock off the #1 team 9-8(3) they were down 5-7 with Libietis and his big serve serving for it.

Everything comes down to Meza vs Fickey 3rd set.

Good job, Vandy. A very small measure of revenge for ten years ago.
Oh yea and I was there. Front and center and in their face. JLyon was there too, working. Little Memphis flat out handled them. Dominated dubs with our #1 player sitting out. Memphis Straight setted the Bears at 4, 5 and 6.
Their fans kept chanting SEC. I couldn't help but laugh thinking about how overrated the conference is this year.
I'm horse now and have a headache from cheering.

3-3, with #2 as the last match. Ore is serving to stay in the match at 5-6 in the 3rd.
Match tied at 3, on court 2 UT up 5-4 in 3rd set

And by 5-6, I meant 4-5. He just held to make it 5-5.
So....Georgia won again. Little more competitive than yesterday, but dubs was pretty much a rout, and three quick singles wins got the job done.
Tough match against Oklahoma for sure. But with Ole Miss going down, door opens just a little bit wider for them to sneak into the semi's. A long shot, sure, but it would be a great story after what's happened this week.

just like i posted a few days ago, ole miss wasn't a limiting factor on UGA's progress to begin with
if you can get past a very good OU team you certainly would have been able to get past a terrible Ole Miss team that can't make either the quarters of SEC tournie or rd of 16 in NCAAs
#6 team, lol, don't know whether their ranking or UF's was more laughable
haha, love it, were they making fun of themselves
, or just as stupid as their conference is bad at tennis?congrats to your guys!

Is USC cheating by putting Gomez at #1 ? He's been playing #2 most of the year and he is not as good as Sarmiento.
haha, love it, were they making fun of themselves
congrats to your guys!
I cheered back "overrated, overrated" ! And laughed at them. I thought of you and Clark when it went down.
It was a great match for Memphis fans. After we got the double point, attention focused to their main grandstand behind courts 1 and 2. The Ole Miss crowd cheered for their two guys and when they won the 2nd of those two courts it made the score 2-2. But they then went dead silent, it was very noticeable. They were in deep trouble on 4, 5 and 6 and in the 3rd set on 3. That's when the church bell just happened to start tolling. Ominous, ha ha. Memphis 4 closed it out soon after making it 3-2, and about 20 minutes later Memphis clinched on 5.
May not have been limiting, but they did beat us earlier this year, with a full lineup. So while Ole Miss was certainly overrated, matchup-wise, they seemed to fair well against UGA.
The SEC problem is not a reason to hate on the SEC. It's just a reason to hate the rankings. The way they work turns it all into one big circlejerk. A bunch of ranked teams trade wins and losses back and forth. A win is against a ranked opponent and looks good. But it also makes any team that loses to you look better. And when all that is going back and forth between a few teams, it skews everything. It would happen in every conference if they started with as many highly ranked teams as the SEC did.
I don't get all that into 'conference pride' when it comes to tennis though, so I was just as happy to see all those teams lose and get "exposed" as you say. Georgia fans LOVE to see Florida lose any chance they get.
