Dubar didn't do chit.

He had 1 really good game.

ZZZ is the only freshman surprise I can think of , but he wasn’t fighting injury and CRB and others were making positive comments about him within a couple weeks of him arriving on campus?

Yeah. He came out of nowhere, but he had buzz before October.

Against TX as I recall. I think he only score in the double digits twice (one being TX)

Can't wait for this season to start... Getting my popcorn ready

I see we’ve reached that weird point of the off-season where we’re arguing over inconsequential things like the difference in “non-factor” and “limited minutes”.

It might be only 3:30 of practice film highlights but two things I noticed... Burg can shoot it from 3 and Dewayne Brown continues to look like he can hold his own.

I think given potential for injuries with bigs this year Brown will definitely need to be ready. He's going to be a true old school banging power forward that can RB.

I love Brown, but I'm not going to jinx him like I did the

Barnes seems very, very excited - I think that's what is getting me the most hyped.

Guy knows ball.

As we all know...CRB's a top all-time recruiter who is very low-key on praising players (esp incoming FR).

Not much, but he had some impressive moments in games that helped us

He did have a moment or 2

What about my post gives you the idea that I believe it's his last year? I'm confused. I'm just speculating on his own personal goals.

Yes, it absolutely could be...I think you have to approach each season like it could be his last at his age.

I thought he might hang it up with ZZ and Shack leaving, but since he didn't, you just take it year by year. In order to achieve the winningest Tennessee coach title, he'd obviously have to stick around at least two years and have a good deal of success. Barring a down season, I really think he's in for at least two more seasons, now.

That we were going to run the table and cut down the nets this year

That we were going to run the table and cut down the nets this year

I said that?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I said that?

You did not, at least not in the post they quoted.

You said being the all time winniest coach at Texas and Tennessee would be a cool career goal and added you hoped he added a national title. I saw nothing that said we're running the table and cutting down the nets, only the idea that a national title would be pretty nice.

 

[dknash]

I said that?

I was saying that we would go 40-0 and win the national championship this year, and Barnes would retire with the wins record. But he actually needs 46 I guess, so I'm not so sure any more.

I would support retiring if he went 40-0 and won the NC because there's absolutely no topping that in in any way.
