He cheers for every Tennessee sport team. He said he grew up a Vandy fan.

Liar imo.
NO ONE grows up a Vandy fan.

…game is getting real

Need some steam.

Ament and Gillespie are the go to guys on this team, neither has shown up with 6 minutes left in game.

Barnes sat Ament on the bench to let him watch. Came back playing a little more physical. We’ll see…

This basketball team has zero identity. Maybe they will get better as the season goes along but they do not look like even a top 6-8 SEC team right now. They beat Houston and thought they won the championship.

Got 4 minutes to prove you wrong.. maybe Ament and Gillespie get going.

Maybe not a one and done after all.

They let Vegas get in their head.

Ball game

Well that's it... 3 losses in a row...with #6 Louisville next, good grief.

I’ll believe it when I see it. We don’t have a Zakai or Mashack with a pitbull inside of them at the moment. People underestimated how big of a loss Zakai and Mashack would be. We just have some dudes thrown together into a pot trying out different recipes and the last three meals have not been appetizing.

Unless Tennessee ponies up big money, Ament gone...

We hadn’t lost 3 in row since Purdue, Kansas, and North Carolina early in 2023-24.

Moving on to the CFP conversation…

NBA drafts on potential more than production. Unless you have a father in the league and are a nepo baby, you get drafted for that too.

Exactly, Ament is 6'11" and full of potential he will be top 5 to 10 pick in draft...plus his game is most likely to shine better in the NBA.

Lost to Edey at the end of that year.

The only time Barnes has lost 4 in a row while at Tennessee was his first season…

Also lost in the regular season against them…

 

[VolPack22]

After that Houston win, I thought at worst we would go 2-1 in those next three games. Turns out we won’t win a single game.

Louisville at TBA@FCC, Dec. 16. We’ll see. Anyone remember Grant and Admiral doing their off season endurance training on the ramps at Neyland?

Tennessee will be fine rest of season but better pump the brakes on the FF prediction that some have made...

That’s an appropriate annual health PSA around the BBF. You would think they would understand the cause of BVS by now…
