Aggies bite the dust 48 hours later

[aaronvol]

Don't undersell how loud Church of Christ can get. LOL

Without instruments of course...

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Aggies don't know the beatdown they're gonna get in FCC

 

[pimo1]

It’s almost as if winning on the road is very difficult.

Just a thought….

It seems like the effects of NIL/Portal are sinking in and there is a lot more parity in college sports in general. I can't remember a time when there was so much movement this early in the year in the top 25 week to week.

And not being as locked in mentally. No way Aggies were as focused tonite as they were Sat.

The crowd at Vandy reminded me of some church league crowds when Baptist played the Church of Christ

Were you expecting big crowds at church league games? Just an odd thing to say.

 

[Frozevol]

I think they were chanting You're Not Rated

I think we have a chant for our game on 2/24!!! Somebody notify the student section.

Did you see the Vandy crowd last night?

 

[Volfan1000]

Yeah, we rarely play well at Arky.

We are 4-17 at Bud Walton Arena.

Bud Walton Arena, Coleman Coliseum and Rupp Arena are the 3 SEC venues that Tennessee historically has the toughest time collecting a victory at.

 

[wmcovol]

Hilarious. I hope the Vandy crowd was chanting “Overrated” after the game.

They were but nobody could hear them.

This

I wish I had thought of that one!

IMO its across the board in most NCAA sports now. Just too much talent available now. Better high school/specialized training available. The portal will get tons of talent going from P5 schools down to "lesser" conferences etc. Anytime I see or hear someone talking about "cupcake teams"...I instantly realize they haven't been following to closely last 10 years or so.

for sure I think its more obvious is basketball because of math. Adding or subtracting 1 or 2 players on pretty much any Basketball team can be the difference between a losing record and being top 25. Football and even baseball take a lot more than that.

 

[Orange931]

Yes & Arky worries me tomorrow night too.

You still worried? Lol

 

[Caz]

You still worried? Lol

Not so much now, but maybe a little earlier!

 

[supersmo18]

Methodists got booted out of the league. They played a bunch of guys who never stepped foot in a church but sure could play. Lol

Yeah my team did that too (FTR, I wasn’t one of those guys )

Have you ever been to a Church of Christ? these fine folks do no sit on their hands and they do give praises vocally and Baptists do have a few in the amen corner, too.

 

[Redleg68]

At Vandy.

Not very far from the Penthouse to the Outhouse

 

[foolonthehill]

I worry when we can't hit layups and other shots six feet from the basket

Many college and pro players cannot hit 2 ft shots. It baffles me. They are giants and they can dunk but can't hit wide open shots near the basket.
