Igor is in the Boat!

Bada boom bada bang.

You forgot Bada Bing:

Awaka and Aidoo have been replaced with comparable, if not better players.

Nice work, CRB!

As someone who used to regularly ride an elevator with Brian Williams, let me assure you those minutes were not wasted. He took up enough space you weren't getting anywhere near under the basket!

Fair enough

Just as Long as we didn’t get this Igor (eye-gor)

And maybe some Vol fans will just stop talking about Keslings difficulties pronouncing names

Oh this has become sport around here. It is not personal in my view, but rather just an inside joke, or to be expected. Yes Kesling is the butt of the joke. Yes it is still funny.

OK, who's number 7?
I don't follow the Bulls.

Do you mind if I ask how old you are? It will set some context for me.

For my generation, THIS will always be what I think of when i hear the name Igor

Does this mean we have to stop panicking???

Seasoned BVSers find creative ways to keep their panic reflexes in shape every day.

Chism took us to an Elite 8 with that Brian Williams and baby Pearl playing minutes. I still can’t believe it.

JP Prince and Bobby Maze had a lot to do with that. Scotty Hopson didn’t live up to his diaper dandy one and done expectations, but he was a big piece as well.

That said- once we lost tyler smith that season, I thought they were dead in the water. Then they beat Kansas the next day lol

Yeah, it was crazy. Skylar McThree.

What me worry? Says Alfred E. Newman (Pete Buttigudge lookalike)

Dang and I thought his name was Buttplug

 

[Ratvol]

Wrong guy?

No. Never let a good opportunity go to waste.

What does LeFlop have to do with any of this?

He's so happy like a 14 yo girl on IG seeking affirmation. That's what.

No problem. I get to still have him on one of my teams. This “get” for the Vols was never in doubt, which is why I was able to post a few times that “all is well.” Very, very excited for Igor and the Vols!

You called this a week or two ago. Glad to see it happen.

 

[tennesseeduke]

I’d lower my expectations. I don’t think we are going to see another Dalton Knecht anytime soon, if ever.

We said that last year when he arrived.

 

[vegasvolfan]

It's a new world!

So it was Rick that stole my Ray Bans. Always the unsuspected.

 

[livefaith]

As much as I love Igor, he is not the next Dalton Knecht. There won’t be another Dalton Knecht.

Oh OK.

 

[livefaith]

He's comparable to MJ? Dang, we're gonna be unbeatable!

Yes. Better offensive skills, stronger defense, mentally tougher, better in the clutch, with better leadership skills and work ethic. Not quiet as good in the classroom though. But I think we'll be fine.

What a game. I think that's Pearls greatest skill. Motivating for ridiculous wins as an underdog. McBee, Maze, Renaldo Woolridge, and Hopson were all huge for that 1 game. As they say "when the other team loses a star, then all of a sudden your playing a team you never saw before". KU didnt have a chance.

 

[VOLnMiami]

Oh man we are going to have a big tall talented team next season!...Very dangerous from every part of the court!

When Dalton Knech arrived we’d say he’s never be another Dalton Knecht?

Anyway, yeah, nobody knew how great he’d be, but it’s much better to not have that expectation. We had every reason to not expect him to be an All-American and the greatest player here in almost 50 years. He surpassed expectations, that doesn’t mean we need to expect others to be what he ended up being. That’s just illogical.
