Sorry about the personal post, I was way out of line. Always enjoy your comments , maybe both of us will live long enough to see the Vols in the FF someday.

It’s kind of crazy how crazy some of us can get when we’re really on the same team.

Losing makes us all a little more irritable.

Losing makes us all a little more irritable.

That’s a fact.

That’s a fact.

Good thing we don’t experience it that much!

I disagree. It takes a big person to do that. And I give nothing but respect.

As an aside. I’m on my 59th orbit around the sun. I’ve learned a lot (and still have a lot I can learn better). But…

One of the hardest things in life to say is “I’m sorry.”

But an even harder thing to say is “I forgive you.”

Everyone would be better off to practice both when compelled to do so. And SBV is a Vol fan just like me. No need to hold a grudge IMO.

But please feel free to live in perpetual angst if you prefer.

Im sitting here waiting to change planes in Bangkok and see this. Love to see the heart felt emotion in Volnation…..and the bilateral class to work things out between Vol brothers! Good work guys!

There is no other subject that generates more passion with Vol fans than the fact we have never made a FF. Coach Barnes has gotten us closer twice than anyone else except Pearl yet he unfairly bears the brunt of criticism. But as I have posted our NCAA FF woes began when he was in HS and long before any of the current players were born.

I was a sophomore when we lost to Dayton 53-52 in 67 in our first NCAA appearance. Dayton went on to lose to UCLA in the Finals as everyone else did in those years. That was before Alcindor(Kareem) had A-fib.

I guess it is one of those, "unexplainable ," things in sports.

I don’t know what was said but it brings to mind some diss tracks Dr Dre dropped on Eazy E back in the day

Game was at Northwestern, I was a senior in high school at a school in the middle of a cornfield south of Chicago. First Vol basketball game I attended, I headed to Ktown following year.. Hell of a game , very disappointing.
The end story, Dayton had the win expunged because of NCAA violations involving their star player Don May. Too late for us though!
