Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[SoilVol]

Most of our "fans" just do not understand the nature of basketball...especially college basketball.

This is a very good team, with a few holes, which could go to the FF, or lose in the first or second round.

After all the mostly garbage to mediocre basketball I have seen at UT over my 54 years, and the black hole we were looking down the barrel of after the DT disaster...I am extremely thankful for Rick Barnes.

Bruce Pearl and Pat Summitt made me a basketball fan in a family of non-basketball fans. I was a freshman at UT under Donnie Tyndall and Holly Warlick... it was a major disappointment to finally get to campus and miss out on both Pat and Bruce.

By the time I was a senior, basketball was fun again. I'll take Rick Barnes until he dies on the court during a game.

Stick some pontoons on it, and it'll look just like Invol's floaty trailers.

"Come on down to @InVOLuntary 's floaty trailer imporium. We've got the finest selection of floaty trailers in the whole county. No matter what size floaty trailer you need, we have it in stock. From single wides, all the way to the big ole quadruple wides. We've got the floaty trailer for you. So come on down!"









That'll be $3.50 for the commercial spot, @InVOLuntary .

Yeah but we’ve played so well at home. Don’t know why we can’t do it one more time. Lock up a 3 seed at worst and maybe an SEC title. Lots in front of this team.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

For those who b!tch and moan about NIL:

we wouldn’t be able to ‘legally’ help him under the old rules. Now the fans can rally behind him and his family and make a real difference without it being a damn violation

And it’s awesome.

Why we have the revenge factor and they will be coming off a hard game from LSU

It shouldn’t. We would have beat Arky last time on neutral court. They won’t get all those bull crap charge calls saturday

 

[drvenner]

This Georgia team isn’t good, but they aren’t 6-23 bad.

What a miserable coaching job by Crean.

He's lost more games this year than Wade Houston ever lost in a single season.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Wait. . . really?

Hahahahahaha

Yeah, collapsed big time. They got a deep throw in and Pippen got blocked. He should’ve just ran it out and setup the offense they needed to eat clock more than score again.

 

[Weezer]

We only played 27 games in Wade's last year. I'm convinced he could have lost more.

No reason whatsoever as to why we cannot handle Arky at home fairly easily.

 

[The Dog]

I don't know, he had a step, should have dunked it and ballgame, imo

 

[Kristy*]

We needed them to win.

Why? Other than the usual, we hate Florida and hope they always lose, thing.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

One of y’all money bags go buy the Zeigler family a new home

Andy Bowser offered his Trailer Park for them to stay in. Lol

 

[VOL608]

I don’t know if this has been mentioned lately, but I feel really good about Volnation donating A LOT of money towards Zakai’s mother’s new home. We have the most powerful fanbase in the country.

 

[engineerVOL]

UT-Martin beat Alabama in baseball.
Hahah

 

[VolNash17]

Wouldn’t surprise me to see vandy cut ties with Stackhouse… new AD that didn’t hire him. Attendance in Memorial is awful. Used to average 10-12k a night a few seasons ago now it’s at 4-5k out of 14,316 seats. McMahon, Becker at Vermont, Rhoades at VCU and Alexander at Belmont would be the names to come to mind

 

[tnvols72]

If Miss St can pull off the upset against AU that should really put some fire in this team for Sat. like they will need anymore fire

I think that would be a dumb move. They're actually getting better. I don't see it happening.

If I were Rhoades I'd never leave VCU for stinkin Candy! That would be a step down.

Espn is getting outrageous with these.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Yay and nay.

The regular season has a ton of value, especially because a 68-team single-elimination tournament, where a single "flailing legs" 3 point foul can be awfully called to knock you out, is an absolute crapshoot and a poor system to determine the best teams.

Being #1 during the regular season or winning your conference means a shiz ton.

I do agree. The teams w admiral and grant were a very memorable 2 years, a lot of fun, ending in heartbreak obviously. But the team w Keon and Springer was good and fun at times but w their first round exit no one will remember that team for much.
