The result surprises me. I thought it would be closer to 50% not 20%. You guys were right I was wrong. I'd still like to see this team cutting down the nets in Madison Square Garden! :) PS I know the other poll said one and done and this one did not. Guess that's where CaVol gave me another 12%. :)

How about another question? Does anyone think that Coach Tyndall could win the NIT with this team since he too Southern Miss to the quarterfinals two years in a row? Would they be capable of cutting down the nets in Madison Square Garden?

Translation of the original post...

I didn't get the answer I wanted in the other poll, so here goes again.

Not surprisingly, an overwhelming majority views the world differently than SD.

This is a totally different question. Let's clarify it a little more. Since all the top teams are in the NCAA, would it be possible for the 2014-15 Vols to win the NIT? We have no national post season tournament banners in TBA for men's basketball. They are all women's. Could these Vols win the NIT and get us one?

I hope this new NIT kick you are on isn't the usual attention seeking bs you go after. 1-3-1, Rick Byrd, Brandon Lopez, like per post, pounds per inch, etc and now this. When does it ever end SD? Lol

The best thing to do is just not reply and move on.

Forum would be pretty dead without the Great Kreskin, wouldn't it? I see the possibility of an NIT Championship this year not an NCAA Championship. Let's address them one by one. Rick Byrd is one of the greatest coaches in college basketball. You all said he wasn't good enough because he wasn't from a power conference. Ask Donnie Tyndall how good he is. I'm sure he will tell you. Tennessee ran the 1-3-1 last year better than this year's team runs their zone. I bet if you go back and compare stats, it will show that (what little you can find of it). Trouble is Martin didn't believe in it or he might have been the coach of the NCAA Championship team. All the teams had to do was practice against the man when they played Tennessee. The SEC coaches had their game plans way before the games ever began. And guess what, we lost. Brandon Lopez was 100% gonna be the starting Pg. Coach T will tell you that, too. He said as much. If you think likes are insignificant, what they show is who makes insignificant posts, like it or lump it. Pounds per inch. Big guys in the SEC have more pounds per inch, pretty simple concept that no one pointed out.

Dallas, why do you continue to back down when challenged? Stand your ground. You'll never be successful on the basketball court or in life if you do that? These guys are no better than you are. I still can't believe they have fun hassling a kid younger than our basketball team that is still in high school.

Why don't you ask Tyndall about winning the NIT versus losing the first game in the NCAAT?

Not sure you understood that post.
In a Sunday discussion SD was calling all of us who chose an NCAA appearance over an NIT trophy mindless thinkers.
I told him to make a poll.
I thought more than 93% (at the time I posted) would have chosen the NCAA.
That would make the 93% who chose the NCAA mindless thinkers in SD's book. Fools was my rendition.

Actually its 80% in CaVols poll. Oh, by the way, my attention to detail is way too good to not notice that even though I have asked you directly more than once what is your answer, you have avoided doing just that in public. Instead, you said take a poll. OK I'm asking again just as CaVol asked, would you rather see this basketball team one and done in the NCAA or cut down the nets in Madison Square Garden (NIT champions). If you are afraid to answer you must be on my side of the argument.

Is the answer not abundantly clear, or are you just that dense?

Simply making the NCAA tournament >>>>>>> Anything you could possibly do in the NIT.

I can't believe you would openly campaign for 2nd rate success in an afterthought tournament over the chance to play on the biggest stage in college basketball.

Lord SD. I answered you at the very beginning of the discussion and you called me a mindless thinker.
I've stated several times that just to make it to the NCAA would be a major accomplishment for this team.
Anything NIT would be what you, the media and 20% of the board expected from them.

I still believe there's something special about this bunch of kids. And I still think they'll prove all of you wrong and dance.
