I think your definition of underachieve is off. This will be the only year they underachieved under Barnes. 2017/18 season they overachieved

I can give you that and say 2/4. Batting 50% aint great. Thats an F where I come from.

What’s the other year they underachieved?

Bucksnort?

 

[Smokey123]

White gave him his start at UCF so he may have a soft spot for White if this job ever comes open.

Buffalo

18/19. No outright title. No Sec Tourney Title. No E8.

I just wish he would quit beating around the bush with Fulky and say what is wrong. Everyone knows they aren’t saying something. No point of hiding it now he is worthless and it has to be something. The guy looks exhausted one minute into game

I don't think they are allowed to give out specific information on medical issues. They just report stuff as a leg injury, back injury or wrist injury. That's all we're ever gonna get but it's obvious this team in not healthy.

I accidentally logged out of VN and came back to thread. I noticed the legion of the miserable are out in full force since we lost today.

The baseball team lost their first game to Indiana State today and I'm sure the bitchin' will start soon

 

[volbeast33]

and let's be honest....................when was UT ever not mediocre in basketball?

That’s not a reason to settle at all

UT is down 5-0 in the second game of the double header. The wheels are falling off

Hes done solid, with where this program was under Serrano. Imo though, he needs to make super this year.

Oh yea, that ones hard to argue against. But idk how much of an underachievement it was. Especially since the SEC was much much better than expected, auburn got insanely hot at the end and we were one iffy call from the E8. Started the season ranked 6th we finished 6th, and iirc we were picked 2nd in the SEC and that’s what we finished at. Disappointing from a fans perspective from how it ended absolutely for sure but not sure we clearly underachieved

This year we’ve regressed as the season went on and definitely underachieved. Our defense went from holding team under 60 regularly and very rarely allowing 70 to allowing 70+ every game since UK(minus vandy) it’s odd

Indiaeffinanna State! Somebody don’t let him back in his office!

I’m so glad we have Barnes.

Fahr him before he disappoints us...or you suck as a fan!

 

[Weezer]

I remember when just making the tournament had UT fans ecstatic. I was at UT during the Wade Houston years. The way some of you bitch, I'm not sure you could have survived that.

Thats one thing I dont understand about this team. We cant guard anyone right now. Late on switches and awful rotations.

As far as achievement, I dont think you can follow up how 17/18 went without something special happening and not say that team didn't under achieve.

Nowhere close to what ive said

 

[VolFreakJosh]

The only way you fire Barnes is if you have someone lined up to take the job.

An up & comer would be the risky choice unless White could magically get Nate Oats or somebody like that.

Why make this about you...you want some?

Then, there was #BuzzBall


This is better despite the frustrations. Much better.

And we’re a lot sloppier on O than we were in the beginning of the year too. Lot of silly turnovers, throwing the ball to spots where guys aren’t even there. At the beginning of the year you can blame some of that on Covid and not being able to practice and train all off season, especially for the FR. Now you can’t use that as an excuse (except for maybe Fulk if he lasting effects) its weird
