Yeah, well you're kind of a pessimistic "fan" (I use the term loosely too)

14-5 (5-3) and your 5 losses:

15th Villanova in the 3rd game of the season
13th Texas Tech in our most pathetic offensive game of the year
@ Alabama while missing KC & Fulky and some questionable officiating
@ 19th LSU
@ 12th Kentucky who had an ungodly offensive night they may never see again in our lifetime.

That's a solid team, stop trolling and being overly negative.

Not trolling and not just looking at the W's and L's, looking at how we performed throughout each game... Several of our W's were super ugly, (Ole Miss, Candy, etc), we had to climb out of holes we dug ourselves by going cold, and a better team would have beaten us handily... You can't argue how hot and cold our shooting has been, and it should definitely be more consistent at this point. KC is not playing like he started the season, seemingly regressing, Fulky is playing horrible (enter Uros), and I can't point to another player other than Vescovi who has managed to put 2-3 consistent performances together so far... These next games on the road against Texas, A&M (home), MSST, Mizz, Arky, and a few others will tell us whether or not this team has improved and will be ready not to 'ish the bed again come tourney time... Will be interesting to see what we do at home the middle of next month when we host Kensucky.

We're not losing near as much as people think imo

We just need to see some of the younger guys step up to replace what Velus & Payton gave us.

Still would like to get another WR with experience in the portal if possible, along with a larger RB for offense... take the rest of the spots and go all in on Defense.

Payton was a big play threat that really opened up the offense. Look at the yards per catch and how often he scored. 1 out of 3 receptions went to the end zone.

The season has not been pretty, but we are winning a lot of games and are still ranked in the top twenty. I don't care how we look wing any games as long as we win it. With the lack of experienced talent in our Big players, I am pleased we are dong as well as we are.

Gatorade has made a lot of Money for Stokley-Vam Camp when they bottled it for a number of years. Stokley has also contributed a ton of money to the University of Tennessee over the years and Gatorade was the source of a lot of those monies.

UT needs to create their own sports drink. Don't need one created at UF. Big Orangeade or something.

I think the time to create a new sports drink is in the past. There are currently at least a half dozen sports drinks now on the market. Let's just enjoy the resources we have gotten from Gatorade and move on.

9th in SEC in FG% (43.8%)
4th in SEC in 3pt % (33.2%)
12th in SEC in FT% (68.9%)
6th in SEC in PPG (74.6)
2nd in SEC in PPG Allowed (63.1)

They have to get better at the free throw line and make more of the short range shots (we miss too many layups/at the rim shots).

But at some point you've got to give some credit to the opponents. 4th toughest schedule in the country.

These are who we've faced in the top 100 BPI Defensive rankings. We're not an elite offense, I agree but we're also playing arguably some of the best defenses in the country too.

x2 LSU - 1
Arizona - 6
Texas - 8
Texas Tech - 10
Villanova - 14
x2 Kentucky - 15
x2 South Carolina - 26
Florida - 28
Texas A&M - 31
x2 Arkansas - 36
x2 Vanderbilt - 43
Mississippi St - 63
Alabama - 64
Ole Miss - 71

People act like this only happens to UT. Kansas is a top 10 team. Lost to Dayton. Beat Stephen F Austin by 8, Geoge Mason by 9, and OU and Kansas State in one possession games. No one cares how you win.
