I hate to hear that for he and his family, that’s rough. I lost my sister in November after a very short battle with cancer.

You are correct. I misspoke. Instead of second round, I should’ve said second weekend. That’s when the party stops for us. I have no clue, nor do I care what coaches at other schools are or aren’t doing. I do good to keep up with my own Alma mater. I rarely post during basketball season, so...

Agreed! But he doesn’t make it out of the second round. Why are we so surprised and defensive when he doesn’t?

Didn’t Pearl sweep both of Florida’s NC teams in back-to-back years?

It’ll be here about this time next year too…

Tennessee basketball has had very limited success, and if you had bothered to read the full conversation you would’ve seen the comment was about Rick Barnes. In the spirit of full context, Rick Barnes has a history of not making it past the second round of the NCAA Tournament throughout his...

I’d guess 3 more years. He’s roughly my parents ages, and they retired because they were through dealing with far less crap than Barnes does on a daily basis

If you call a UT graduate a “troll” because in-game they acknowledged an indisputable 20+ year trend which played out to be true, what do you call those who obviously don’t recognize the trend? Until we get consistently eliminated in the Elite 8, Rick Barnes is a Sweet 16 coach

When we start getting bounced regularly in the Elite 8, I’ll call Barnes an Elite 8 coach

Excellent question… I am in Texas frequently and have worked with a ton of Texas alumni for the last 23 years. They told me what we were in store for 9 years ago, and they were not wrong. Do they wish they had not fired Barnes? Probably but they’ll admit it. Do I want Barnes fired, hell no...

I wouldn’t take that bet if I was you either

Except I’m not in the fire Rick Barnes crowd. I’m just a head of the curve in the “Look how great we have it with Rick Barnes” crowd. We should be happy with just making it this far. Same as you. Right…?

Deal! I’ll tell you what… Let’s make a bet… Loser will video themselves shooting a crow, cleaning it, grilling and eating it if Barnes makes a Final 4 at UT. But still allowed to post… Is that a bet? (Side note: I realize not everyone is an outdoorsman with access to shoot crows so you can...

No, but Texas and Tennessee probably do. What else does Barnes need?

I hope that excuse works for next year. Definitely hasn’t worked for Barnes the last 20…
