Great day, but this guy nails how I feel heading into next week…

As Tennessee sizzles into NCAA Tournament, can you trust Rick Barnes?

I won’t trust Barnes in the NCAA tourney until he proves me wrong—which I’d love to be this year.

Way to enjoy a championship!!

Way to Xanax this entire site today……thanks.

Legions of the miserable. I wish you could see the unsurprised look on my face.

Guy just broke a 43 year streak of Ls in this tournament. It's obvious this Tennessee squad is built different.

Great day! He led us to a championship today—the first in 43 years. I guess there will be 67 untrustworthy coaches in 3 weeks. Let the untrusting skeptics sign Will Wade to a contract.

Win a tournament championship for the first time in over 40 years and this is the thread your choose to make.

Please explain what it would take to prove you wrong. TIA

Horrible thread. Shut it down.

I'm convinced Barnes could win the National Championship and some of these people would still find something to piss and moan about.

Nothing that happens from today on, will take away from my enjoyment of cutting down the nets at an SEC tournament!
GBO!!

Am I worried they'll underperform? Absolutely.

But damn, enjoy the SEC tournament champs for a minute.

Yeah that’s just a stunning take from the OP. Would you have expected anything else? Convinced the at some of our “fans” need to find other teams to support.

The Barnes hire is the best thing to happen to our athletic program since 1998. I wouldn’t trade him for any other NCAA coach. The integrity of the players, the way the play, how hard they play… We are lucky. Enjoy it while you can.

I prefer to think the folks at BLEACHER REPORT who RANK THE HOTTEST TEAMS HEADED INTO THE TOURNAMENT have a better handle on what this team is all about. Barnes put this team together and even with Oliver out gave us AN SEC CHAMPIONSHIP with a team that seems more together and more dedicated to the belief they can prevail. It takes players with conviction to win in the NCAAT

I'm grateful for the players he recruits -- young men from good families who have real intellectual and artistic interests, who would be successful college students even if they didn't play basketball, and who don't embarrass the university by being criminals and/or illiterates. That certainly hasn't always been our recruiting profile.

You’re miserable, man. Learn to enjoy life. Truly sad.

This is by far the best TEAM I’ve ever seen wear the orange and white. We’ve probably had more talented teams(maybe) but these guys lay it on the line for each other and their coach. This is what you get when Rick Barnes has a group of coachable guys.
GBO!!

I would not expect that from all places a Tennessee newspaper! Maybe if we lose first or second round then write that article, not before.
