Hey Ziti, way to go full dick-mode. I'm trying to get your stance on the issue instead of taking someone else's opinion as gospel. But hey, just go in full attack mode. ME and BTO aren't doing anything together. Get over yourself.

Post was made before we began a 5 game win streak and not made last night. You and BTO are hell bent on focusing on one post made during a game thread on a night when I admittedly was going off the rails a bit. I was in defense mode and may have said a rash thing or two.

I don't know if you're to be included, but there has been no shortage of posters slamming the Barnes hire. Should have hired Pearl. Forbes. The UT-C/VCU/LSU guy. The clown at Mississippi State. Should have thrown millions at the Wichita State coach.
 
Doubt I said fleece would hate Barnes. I don’t hate Barnes.

That’s the common exaggeration of my stance on here. Just cause I don’t lick his boots.

Prediction. 18 months from now you don’t like Rick Barnes and you regret bashing me for questioning simple things regarding his coaching and recruiting.

Ok, there's your post.

So yeah, you didn't use the word "hate". But getting past arguing the semantics, let's stop acting like there's a lot of exaggeration going on.
 
My exact reaction to your idiotic response to genuinely let you clear the air on the matter.

We’ve been discussing it on this thread all day. BTO talks about it and I give responses. Then you come in here “hey just refresh my memory did ziti say Barnes blah blah blah.”

Scroll up. It’s literally on the exact page you were posting on.

Read the freakin thread and stop being a dick.

Someone refresh me. Did Ziti say that next March we will be on the "new coach bandwagon?" Insinuating we will fall off the rails between now and March of 2019?

He told Fleece that come next March he (Fleece) would be realizing he was wrong and that Ziti was right...

Ziti has refused to clarify what exactly he meant but Fleece has made his stance clear...that he believes Barnes system is working and that he has this program in a great spot going forward.

So putting 2 & 2 together and reading that thread it’s pretty clear what Ziti was insinuating when he said come next March Fleece would be saying he’s wrong and Ziti was right.

Bump it in 18 months. Maybe I’ll be wrong.

Just cause we are on a roll right now doesn’t mean 18 months from now all will be fine.

Again, you’re making a mountain over a post made in a game thread. From a night I’ve admitted more than once now I went off the rails a little bit.

You all think you’ve finally found your smoking gun. That’s fine.

Knowing Fleece’s stance pretty well it would likely take Tennessee flaming down the stretch and missing the dance next year for you to be right.

I’m not gonna list other scenarios that might have him there.

Again - I’ve admitted I made some rash statements that night.

Last time I’m talking about it. You want to keep banging that drum then go right ahead.

What irony. How, exactly, am I being a dick?

I'm not familiar with the topic because I don't frequent the game threads and the mouth breathers and boneheads who tend to inhabit them. So I never saw your comments when you made them. All I have seen since is a reference to a post(s) you made in the USCe game thread, and you then you respond with short, snarky remarks in response, never really clarifying what you actually said. That's why I asked. I wanted to hear your account of what you actually said before commenting on them. I thought that was being fair to you. Your reaction was to act like a dramatic 10-year old girl about it and accuse me and BTO of focusing and twisting something that I haven't even seen.

What occurred in that game thread that had you so defensive and apparently saying things you didn’t mean?
 
Lol. The only one acting like a ten year old girl here is you. You’re being overly sensative. BTO asked me about it. I gave him an answer. Ten posts later you’re asking me the same questions. Read the posts dude and quit being a dick.

The "I know you are but what am I" defense. Classic 10-year old. Keep it up Ziti.

Already said. I made a pretty mild statement it would be a bad loss. Got attacked for it (as does anyone who says anything not 100% positive nowadays) and I came out swinging. Just got heated a bit. Some stuff was deleted.

No someone asked about what you may have said and I answered it.

Of everyone on this board, there is no one that gets defensive as quickly as you. It’s not even close.

I answered it. Y’all just didn’t like my answer cause it’s not what you want to hear.

On VN when your opinion doesn’t match the consensus you get shouted down. Just the way it is. I haven’t bought in on Barnes so my opinions aren’t welcome.
