    Irrational Rick Barnes takes (merged)

    I think Barnes is great at coaching fundamentals. This issue I believe Barnes has with winning more in March, is that he doesn’t seem to inspire his teams to have that swagger type of confidence. A swagger mentality many times will take you farther than just talent and fundamentals alone...

    Irrational Rick Barnes takes (merged)

    There is no excuse for a non-competitive loss like this! What we saw today was utterly disgusting! I like Rick Barnes as a person and he’s a HOF’er as a teacher of basketball, but he has no talent for inspiring teams to win consistently come tournament time. He truly is Regular Season Rick...

    It's April and Rick Barnes decides to retire and join Saban. Who's your first 2 calls to?

    Any freakin' coach who can win freakin' tournament games in March, when it counts the most. I'm so freakin' tired of laying a egg year after year in the only games that count, the ones that people remember!!! :mad:

    Jamal Wallace commits to the vols

    I trust the Win / Loss record and number of championships. I NEVER trust coaches. You are either producing a high winning percentage and championships or you're producing nothing. High level talented players, the kind that Bama and Georgia get, is what gets consistent results, not...

    8th in Recruiting in the SEC for 24...

    The bottom line on roster management (recruiting and transfers) is this: This staff and our NIL collective are not getting the job done at a level that is going to allow us to compete for championships unless we get really lucky sometime and find lightning in a bottle. At the level we...

    Jakobe Thomas Transfers to Vols

    None of those schools, are Bama, UGA, or Ohio State. We need to start getting the same caliber of players as UGA and Bama if we are ever going to compete for championships again. We need to start doing whatever it takes to to get those kind of guys. You are the one who is clueless if you...

    Jakobe Thomas Transfers to Vols

    Again, getting transfers from MTSU, is not adding the level of talent needed to compete with UGA and Bama. We've got to do way better than this in acquiring talent in order to compete for championships. Our staff and our NIL Collective ain't getting the job done. If we keep on at the...

    Jamal Wallace commits to the vols

    Sorry, but this is not adding the level of talent needed to beat the UGA's and Bama's of college football. You cannot base your additions on finding diamonds in the rough and expect to compete for championships. The bottom line is, this staff and our NIL collective ain't getting the job done.

    LB Keenan Pili is expected to return to Tennessee!!

    This is good news, but only if he can stay healthy. He does us no good sitting on the sideline.

    The Official #10 @ #17 North Carolina Game Thread, 7:15 PM ET, ESPN

    Regardless of the 2nd half comeback, this is still a pathetic embarrassing performance. This team other than DK can’t shoot worth a crap and then is too soft to rebound when they miss. Plus they are not very good on defense against good teams like Kansas and UNC.

    The Official #10 @ #17 North Carolina Game Thread, 7:15 PM ET, ESPN

    This team can’t shoot and it can’t rebound. That doesn’t make for an even a decent team. This team may struggle to get in the NCAA’s this year.

    VOLS deserve TOP 5!

    We are playing like we aren’t even in the Top 105 much less the Top 5!

    The Official #10 @ #17 North Carolina Game Thread, 7:15 PM ET, ESPN

    This is absolutely pathetic and embarrassing. We might as well just exit the arena at halftime and get on the bus, because we aren’t interested in playing. Either that or we are the most overrated team in the history of the game! It disgusts me to watch this crap!

    The Official #11/#9 Tennessee @ Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

    This team is soft with no heart. Heupel didn’t have them ready for this road test mentally. Plus, once and for all Heupel needs to recognize that Milton doesn’t have it.

    Where has this kind of defense been?

    That’s what I’ve been saying! Our offense is bad, that’s why our defense can never be less than it’s usual great. When it is less great (allowing over 60 points), we likely get beat. (See Colorado, Arizona, Vandy, Florida, and Missouri). We have no margin for error. Play exceptional defense...
