"Literally" is literally one of the most overused words of the current day and age.

It would be really hilarious to troll someone by just randomly shouting out really positive, innocuous things like that every few minutes of a two hour basketball game.

That's actually how I like to do my trash talk. After a big Grant Williams dunk or something just act like you're talking to you're buddy or whoever you went with and say stuff like, "Man! We're just playing so good right now! Really fun to watch!" Definitely works great in enemy territory! Lol

Penny, while he won't (and probably can't) name names, has "heard" rumblings of other coaches that don't like how he had gotten the job. I don't doubt that, but it's being a little thin-skinned. He needs to respond with his team's play.

He has gotten praised for being brutally honest, which can be a good thing. Just like everything though, there needs to be some moderation, and he doesn't have a filter. Case in point, "get the F out, Rick Barnes."

What most people outside Knoxville don't realize is that Barnes is a jokester off the court. He was joking with Kesling about the balled up fists on VolCalls that week, and it got back to Penny. Penny responded in a non-joking manner.

I am aware of all sides of what was said from each side, heard all that was said from the horses mouths. Penny went off on Barnes about a flopping comment that was never made by Rick, not publicly.

But even if Penny thinks these things are true in no way does that justify ESPN putting him on air so much, that's my point. I'm sure Barnes likely declined to comment/go on air as he had moved on...if he was asked. Just doesn't make sense to me why this specific "bad blood" caught so much attention.

And it's nothing to do with Barnes, seems Penny must know somebody high up...his recent comments about the rumblings also got far too much media attention.

Ewing, Mullen, Avery all former NBA guys now coaching and they're not getting the same attention. And are more successful thus far in their careers.

Virtually nobody liked that guy outside of a 3 week lighting in a bottle time frame

Did have an Elite Eight team at K State, but also had Beasley...

I'm actually in the same boat as Bruin though, I don't like the guy. He's an abrasive personality, even in the shared video he's calling football lineman "fat guys" just an old school rudeness about him. Most people like that are a**holes who try to brush it off as joking around.

But I don't personally know the guy or anything. So my opinion is skewed by personal perception/experiences.

I like a coach like Barnes, light hearted and well versed in picking/joking.

You know for some reason I believe Canseco. He seems like the kind of dude that would have been abducted and probed by "The Greys."

Pretty sure Rick mentioned the flopping on his post game radio show. It was played on radio here in Memphis.

After the Samford game, Barnes was asked to respond to Penny's latest comments, and he dismissed it and talked about how well Samford played.

To be honest, Ewing and Mullen haven't really done anything, and Avery is not on Penny's level as a pro athlete. I agree that it seems odd how much air time he is getting from the comments. If he starts to lose a game or two that he shouldn't, the comments could come back to bite him.

So a shift to something more important.


Bald men, how do you get your heads slick? I've tried a few different razors & cream/gel etc. Still seem to miss spots or not get super close.

A straight razor in the barber chair is best, but I ain't exactly wanting to spend that coin every 2-3 days to maintain. Is Nair worth a look?

Been shaving my head for over 15 years now. I go with the Schick Hydro 5 razor and Cremo (Sandalwood) shaving cream. Doesn't get much smoother than that.

He mentioned that he told his team in the gameplan that they flopped some to get guys on foul trouble and Bone allowed it to happen in the first few minutes

There was nothing remotely inappropriate about what he said imo

Only thing I remember about Tino is how this last summer seemed like all these recruits (Bogle and Curry specifically) mentioned the role he played in their recruitment. Seemed like he was gonna be the Nieds before Nieds became Nieds.

We did not get either of them. Will replace with better.

Never said that it was inappropriate. It was the truth. I was at the game.

But, there was discussion about if Barnes actually mentioned it, and he did.

I just heard that Mike Stoops was joining Saban's staff. I'm not sure if it's true, but if it is all I can say is.

SIAP, great post game interview with Frank Martin last night after the game, great breakdown of UT and how and why we won. I like this guy, classy way to take a beatdown and give good insight. Penny should watch this too...


Well worth the watch...

You're right. Excellent stuff here.

Honestly I need to hear it then, because I cannot find any proof Barnes said anything about Memphis flopping. Not on Vol Calls, not during the post-game interview which is here in it's entirety All WNML Shows On Demand

Penny didn't play much in the NBA, guy was always missing games. Not saying he wasn't a great talent, but if you're not playing you're not playing only 2 full 82 game seasons in his entire career. Avery has a championship at least, just wasn't asked to be a scorer in the league.
