Tariq Owens

Watching Owens play for TTU. For those that remember, why did he leave UT?

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Because Rick wouldn't pay as much as Donnie?

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

I googled it for you

Tyndall’s firing took the Owens family by surprise, but Renard said the coach’s departure didn’t immediately result in Tariq’s request for a transfer. The Owens’ waited for Tennessee to hire a new coach, and spoke to former Texas coach Rick Barnes soon after he landed the job.

“We wanted to see what his plans for the team were moving forward, see if it was a good fit,” Owens said. “Based on those conversations, Tennessee didn’t appear to be as good of a fit anymore. That’s when we started it. We looked to see where else could be a good fit.”

And the young man just made an outstanding play.

God hates Tennessee

Tariq Owens??
That was stupid.

Another missed call out of bounds that the refs missed.

 

[vols 30]

Rick wanted his own guys.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Maybe he didn't want to compete with Kyle Alexander for playing time.

Yep, huge play and missed call.

Could have redshirted Kyle if Owens had stayed.

Lol. Overreact much?

 

[FlVols]

Yep, huge play and missed call.

Another game changing call that the refs messed up. It was a little earlier than the call against us that sent it to OT, but still could have changed the game. That has to be stopped!!

Folks take any chance they can to bash Coach Barnes. It’s unbelievable

It's the same ones. Same ones that if you review their posts it's a99:1 ratio of negativeposts. Some people enjoy being miserable

Dumb threads are dumb

 

[sccshortstop]

Actually RB did not run TO off! He and his overbearing father run himself off. He went back to New York and played for St Johns and as a grad transferred to TT. We could have used him but not the baggage that came with him!

It really is. People can’t appreciate what they have.

They are the sheit starters... Freak keeps a few on the payroll to spice things up in here.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Clearly we struggled without him

 

[casetopia]

OP didn't know who he was until they said it on TV.

If you’re referring to the blocked 3 point shot that he threw the ball back in bounds, it was a correct call. He landed out with left foot then jumped up and touched the ball. By rule he would have had to come back in play after block before touching it again.

Too bad he couldn't run you off. That would be great.

Hmmm, not what the announcers have just been talking about, but well.

What? He never reestablished in the court before touching the ball. By rule he is out of bounds. SMDH
