I didn't see the other thread, so thank you to the OP for posting this.

Yes, we were lucky in the 98 championship. And I would add facing the #2 QB for FSU in the title game. But almost every championship winner is lucky at some point along the way.

Every team in the tourney leaves with the disappointment of a season-ending loss except for one. Barnes is a high quality person and coach.

Pat was relentless in her coaching style. My impression is that you either took her instruction and did it her way, or you didn't see the court much. Not sure how that would work today. There was a comment on the YT video that suggested that Pat may already have been experiencing some early...

I don't think a bunch of twenty-something college kids are going to be worried about being "tired" with a 10 pm tipoff for an NCAA tournament game.

How about Rumble?

I disagree that the mustard bottles were an embarrassment. For anyone watching that without an agenda, they saw passionate fans. The recruits that were at that game loved the atmosphere. Not one said anything about being embarrassed. What a ridiculous thread about nothing.

Yes, any logos need to be simple, not busy. They need to be suggestive rather than striving for detailed precision.

I don't like the idea of retiring numbers for anyone. If basketball is played for enough years, eventually there will be no numbers left. Hang their jersey in the rafters. But continue to use all numbers.

I like the idea that college athletes can now play their sport (e.g., football) without the all or nothing gamble of making $ in the NFL. For most, the NFL $ never materializes. Now they can get paid in college which will then create a greater motivation to work on their skills, NFL or no NFL...

Whatever officiating crew it was, they stunk. Knecht and others get mugged and no call. Later, they call a touch foul. Either call it close, or let them play and ignore most contact. But for pity's sake, call it consistently.

I'm telling you, that MF'er is NOT REAL!

I went to a UT Alumni social gathering in California just before Peyton signed with the Vols. On arriving, I walked up to a group of about 5 people which included Fulmer who were chatting. As soon as I joined the group, Fulmer interrupted whoever was talking and looked directly at me and...

It will sort itself out. Give it 2-3 years. The imbalances will find resistance limits. Any static system will take time to find a new equilibrium when the forces in that system change drastically. I think it actually will have a tendency to balance out the talent across many more schools...

What's up with that football. It's huge. Looks more like a basketball.
