and we dont.

That's on coaches for not being able to find or develop these bigs. I mean, Uros was really a liability in most games.

You're telling me a top ten team annually cannot go into the portal and find a competent PF? And, another thing. We keep combing for shooters, and we seem to find bricks.

Again, Purdue was good defensively. But, not so good that we shouldnt or couldnt be making more shots. That was a winneable game.

We are in this for the long haul. You are being hyper critical for this early in the season

Bowl game, sure. Even the NCAA MM game a few years ago I thought was a bad call. Either one we still may have won or lost, so it's not that simple, but the opportunity was ripped away from us I'd agree.

Watching last night I don't agree. We hit the bonus with 11 freakin minutes to go in H2 as we went dead cold. The only thing keeping us in it the 2nd half for long stretches were FTs.

We were -9 FTs vs Purdue. Yet vs Cuse we were +9. Did we win because of the refs? Hell no. I hate that excuse over a full game. Weak sauce.

The basketball game was over if they don't call that foul. We were up two and very little time left
I believe we also got the rebound. The football game yes, it still would have been in doubt because we would have gone up 7 and they would have had four downs to make 10 yards until they scored. They were obviously very conservative on their possession because they only needed a FG.

What if I play a 12 game schedule one year where I play 11 scrubs and then the prior season I played 11 teams that were offensive juggernauts?

That will never happen, come on. We are going to have easier schedules in some years than others. But we will never have an easy schedule

I think Aidoo and Awaka are good enough. Our guards needed to step up.

I watched the game last night. It was called fairly. Volnation posters like to complain that the other team often shoots more free throws than the Vols and argues that is due to ref bias. The real reason that the other team usually shoots more free throws than the Vols is that the Vols don't aggressively attack the basket. Therefore, they draw fewer shooting fouls.

The bs calls speak for themselves; but, last night wasn't just about the calls that went against us...who wants to watch a basketball game with 78 total free throws?? 78!! I think someone said there were 58 total fouls. I can't recall if I have ever seen a game with that many fouls and free throws.

i’m in charge of a building that is regulated by the State…. When they come into do an investigation… i find out why they are there… i go over details with staff on what to say and not to say if interviewed. We knew the NCAA had a pic and didn’t even tell Pearl about it… He panicked and said something stupid…. If the AD had been Dickey or DW then that situation never happens.

There will be people on here who will tell you that Bruce also lied to the administration and that's why they didn't warn him. Even if that's true, you deal with it internally. You don't tank your whole freaking program over a dang hamburger.

If you say you’re fine with 9-3, they’ll say you’re accepting mediocrity. If you say you want to win titles, they’ll say you’re miserable. The truth is, they just don’t like you and want to harp on any post you make regardless of its content.
