This year. Quit *****ing. Our fans are a mess. Young teams have ups and downs. We are not done.
So why is it then? Does Barnes suck again? He go back to retirement mode, just collecting a check? His recruiting suck again?
You may not like it, but youth is an excuse. It's partially to blame for MSU's crappy first half, and then our crappy second half. Two young teams who couldn't sustain success for 40 minutes and basically came down to a final possession.
Um no....I expect to win when we are in complete control and up 19. Again, stop acting like this was some normal loss.
We were up 20 freaking points and should have been 30 had we hit our FTs . This is the 4 time this year we have lost double digit leads. Our " young" 5 star Hubbs was the main reason we lost since he decided not to show up.
And if you want to cry about it go ahead. I'd rather look to the next one instead of wallow in self pity over the last one.
You are smart enough to know that something like this was bound to happen with this team. I knew you guys would flip out once something didn't go UT's way.
Keep things in perspective and remember what these guys were projected to do. They are playing well and exceeding expectations and the tourney still isn't out of the question so stop being a drama queen.
It is a normal loss for a young team on the road. I've seen worse.
But hey let's just mail it in, season is over now.
Most reasonable fans expected a split between AU and Miss St. Yeah it sucks that this could have been a win but it's basketball and things happen.
When UT was up 19 Weatherspoon and Peters hadn't scored a point. Did you expect that to last? I knew a run was coming, just thought we would be able to hold them off but our guys went cold like Miss St in the first half.
Again, things happen.
You know...it's possible to call a turd a turd without resorting to the dramatics you're claiming I'm going to.
This was a gigantic turd. Nobody said the "season is over", but it's a bad loss. If we're going to praise the good games, then fair is fair, call the sh**show we saw today for what it was. It wasn't just a loss, it's a terrible choke job in a game we could really have used a W.
Also, funny you say "reasonable fans"; I hate to break it to you but most "reasonable" fans expect to win a game they are up 19 in and in complete control.

I didn't say any of the questions that you are asking is the reason we lost. When we lose it's our youth, but a younger team recovered and won. So again youth is not an excuse. I believe the 10 minute second half span of fouls called on us and hardly any on MSU. Took momentum completely away from us.
Vols were first four out before the game - now they out.
That's what happens when a team like the Vols relax and get complacent.
Should have beaten Ole Miss and Miss State - so unfortunate!
