Recruiting Football Talk VII

I think we’re better then we were earlier in the year and I think Purdue is the same
They are just good be we’re better then when we played earlier

I shouldn’t look ahead, but beating Duke to play for a National Championship would be…

Had a dream about it.

Vescovi not playing is probably why we won that game. Let’s be honest he wasn’t going to score enough and our bench is more athletic and stepped up big time.

Good grief. Why we won is because his replacement played elite defense just like he does. That was one factor. There were plenty more that had a much larger impact. I'm sorry but your post is trash

 

[JCP201]

SV defense and leadership will be missed if he can’t play Sunday
Hell, just his 5 fouls alone will be missed depending on how the game is officiated
I want SV to play
He deserves to be apart of this run to the final 4

yes, if nothing else, we need his 5 fouls. It got hairy last night in the first half.

Terrible take

Edit: but Mashack did make some plays that Vescovi isn’t capable of making

Knock it off, checkers. We won. Be happy.

In the kind of way a Canadian marathoner is limping a mile behind a Kenyan at the 3/4 mark.

That is so race-ist.

DO IT FOR TIBET!!!!

Tibet was willing to give up their Medallion of Spiritual Accomplishment! Huge sacrifice from Tibet!

 

[MarcoVol]

Its not the people that like Barnes that im calling fan boys..... Its the ones that try to act like Barnes is the only one thats ever been successful here.

He’s been more successful than anyone else here. That’s pretty dang good

 

[Glitch]

We look awkward right now

 

[Glitch]

Ugh... Need good D

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

**** Purdue, seems like we do nothing but lose to them.

That’s gonna change tomorrow!!

Longer it last the sweeter it gets

@InVOLuntary stay in the Bahamas please. TIA

 

[Jimmy Football]

Hopefully we avoid B1G officials.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

For some reason I laugh harder when Glitch’s gif hasn’t loaded yet. I don’t know why but it just strikes me as funnier somehow

 

[Glitch]

GOOOODDDDDDD OLLLLLL ROCKY TOP



WOOOOO

No wooing!

 

[Glitch]

Incredibly huge

Can you not take one day just to celebrate?

 

[VolGee4]

Why in the world would the NCAA assign a Gonzaga grad to a game where the winner could possibly play Gonzaga? It was a moot point since Gonzaga lost, but there are 4 regions.

 

[knoxvol52]

Hopefully we avoid B1G officials.

I will agree 100 percent on this about officials.

They should be neutral crew just as in Football playoffs and Championship game.

A Big 12 officiating crew for this game would be perfect .

I know a lot don’t like Pearl, but seeing him give a thumbs up and saying “How bout them Vols!” will hopefully be a sense of closure. Now that we’ve made it back to the ELITE 8.

Pearl can...

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

The big key will be how hard Purdue makes life for DK…. That was a huge last night…. We could get DK decent looks whenever we wanted…. The offense flows so much better when that happens.

For sure! But I do think last night gave some much needed confidence to others, specifically Gainey and J3. I’d also like to continue seeing Barnes utilize the bench players. No offense towards Vescovi, but he wasn’t missed last night. I love the guy, but he hasn’t been much help all season; so, I’d love to see Barnes continue going deeper into the bench and letting those guys show what they can do.

I think that was all very genuine especially with how Candace piled on the love.

And as it was happening all I could think about is Auburn fans losing their mind watching their coach wax poetic about the good old days at Tennessee and how great we are.

It was like a 2 for 1.
