I'm gonna be honest. An incredibly well called game. I don't think I've ever seen a game called better tbh. Only a handful of missed calls both ways.
They were consistent and it made for a fun smooth game. I The fight? Tobe probably should have gotten a foul, but Gainey? Perhaps his mouth needed to be washed out with soap. It's a rivalry game, let them play.
 
At some point Barnes is gonna have to think about just not playing JJJ. He is just lost. Vescovi is gonna have to improve as well. We are talking about 4th and 5th year players that are playing like rookies. We can’t beat good teams with just DK and Aidoo, unless Aidoo is giving us 20 and 10+ every night.

Well y'all should've thought of that before you started wilding.

f*** Around, Find Out

The irony is that this is a passive admittance that they know they won't stand in court. And they kist refuse to admit they were in the wrong and actually serve and operate in a just and transparent manner. If the NCAA was a good organization then they wouldn't be in this mess and lawsuits wouldn't be occurring.

True. Nature of the animal. It cannot change. It can only be exterminated.

How is it a bad thing for posters to call out any player or coach, in this case JJJ, for playing poorly for many games? It is just a fact determined by observation. He was losing minutes to Mashak because CRB observed it as well Should fans on a Vol fan message board pretend so they can satisfy those who do not want their little darlings noted? So fragile.

The good thing is JJJ knew that he was messing up and fixed it. So every Vol fan has a right to celebrate it with him. Personally, I believe him losing against his home state school at TBA was a serious wake up call and he responded like a true VFL.
 
I was looking for the clip where the VOL fan that called into the KY radio show and hit them with the legendary "pick up your shovels" line and I came across this classic.

Not sure if this is a true story about self-tasering or not, but it is pretty dang funny. Long read, but worth it.

WARNING FOR ALL MALES FROM ME
Last weekend I saw something at The Gun Show that sparked my interest. I was looking for a little something different for my wife Dana. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Tazer.
The effects of the Tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety...??
WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home.. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.
AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Dana what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.
Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right?
There I sat in my recliner, my cat Leo looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target.
I must admit I thought about zapping Leo (for a fraction of a second) and then thought better of it. He is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised.
Am I wrong?
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a singlet with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and Tazer in another.
The directions said that:
a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant;
a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; and
a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water.
Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.
All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference (loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries); pretty cute really, and thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'
What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best.
I'm sitting there alone, the cat looking on with his head cocked to one side so as to say, 'Don't do it stupid,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny lil ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad.. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it.
I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and...
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. WHAT THE... !!!
I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs! The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.
Note:
If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a Tazer,
one note of caution:
There is NO such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor!
A three second burst would be considered conservative!
A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape.
· My bent reading glasses were on the top of the TV.
· The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was.
· My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching.
· My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs.
· I had no control over the drooling.
· Apparently I had crapped in my shorts, but was too numb to know for sure, and my sense of smell was gone.
· I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head, which I believe came from my hair.
I'm still looking for my testicles and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!
PS: My wife can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift and now regularly threatens me with it

Hilarious!!!!!
 
Happy Sunday

February 4, 2024: Listen for the sound of silence and be comfortable with it. When nothing is stirring you to deep thought or action, you must stir yourself so that you do not lose your edge. Take the initiative through a desire to know Me more personally and intimately, says the Lord. Explore the depths of spiritual truth and delight yourself in the light of revelation. Be still and know that I am God;I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

The criticisms of his performance are totally warranted. Nothing wrong with pointing things out that need work.

Lots wrong with the abundance of posts I’ve seen that trash his mentality and work ethic though. That’s just plain not fair considering what he’s brought to this university every single day.

I think if we're heavily counting on JJJ for 15-20 pts, we are not going far in the tournament. But I mean, we know that. Barnes knows that. That's why DK is here.

He has the floor of a player that's been here 9 years. Even if he's not scoring you know he isn't going to make catastrophic mistakes. I never really agreed that he needed to go to the bench for Mashak. It also did feel like he took all the heat for that game even though ZZ and Aidoo played just as bad. And I would say those are the two players of the three we cannot afford to be useless offensively.
