Not Bitter About The Loss, But Duke, My GOD

Ok why would I lie about having a preacher in my family. And second why would I lie about going to Tennessee. I had an uncle that played football there and a cousin that played tennis there. All I did was take up for a very good basketball team that you like to complain about. Maybe you should google me.

Jerry Sandusky would be happy to do this for ya.....

Oh wait....you referring to Google.com??

I disagree with this argument, because all Tennessee and Alabama fans (who didn't go to school there according to your argument) would be bandwagon fans since they are historically successful programs many years before many of us were born.

Yep, because that's exactly how my post was worded. Living in Tennessee or Alabama would be a logical tie to a program, genius.

And if you're saying someone grew up in South Carolina, never visited Knoxville, and was a UT fan, then YES that would be a bandwagon fan.

Sorry I'm already a rich white boy. I'm also a Tennessee graduate who played more basketball in my life than you have watched and can't really stand watching our program. I'd love to see them stay towards the top but they will never be Duke. And no I'm not a bandwagon guy. Been with them since the lat 80 s watching them with my papaw who got his cemetery degree from Duke.

A couple of points of contention here:

A. How do you know what anyone has achieved or accomplished on an anonymous message board?

B. If you are touting not being a "bandwagon fan" of Duke you may want to cite an earlier example than the late 80s when Duke was already consistently going to final fours.

C. Congratulations on your awesome accomplishments. That being said, it bears no more merit or credibility when you give resumes on a message board when there is really no way of knowing if you are even telling the truth.

That was the autocorrect on the IPAD. Im not a preacher. And what is fascinating about me. What is fascinating to me about you guys is just how much you love to talk and complain. Still Tennessee is a average at best program. Let them win an SEC championship and then you can talk (a little) but you got a ways to go to get to double digits like Duke and we wont even go national titles and tourney success. You look childish complaining about foul calls and all that when last i checked free throws were 27-24 which is pretty even. And as for soft I believe you all were predicting Michigan to push Duke around, and Duke dominated the game the entire way through while Tennessee lost again. Duke is perfect all time in Maui and Tennessee is stuck with only a chance for a lowly win against Chaminade. So who is soft and who is more than likely going home with another Maui trophy.

That's the funny part. All of you Duke homers think the way refs call for you're idiot team is the way basketball should be played. Thus me and others even questioning if you have ever played on a competitive level.

Tennessee outplayed Duke, outhustled them, and then got rewarded with ticky tack phantom foul calls to make sure college basketball's love child didn't get popped in the 1st round of their favorite preseason tournament. There is a reason they never replayed a lot of the 2nd half foul calls.

Personally, men's basketball being successful is a bonus. I like the fact that regardless of where we are currently in football we boast 6 National Titles, 9th all time in wins, and have the 2nd most historic football team in the SEC, the toughest conference in football.

Furthermore, I love the fact the reason I cheer for the Vols due to me growing up a Vol fan and not arbitrarly picking a winner and lying about my background to people I will never meet in person. Bandwagon fans suck. They can never be trusted to stick with you in any area of life.

First I can guarantee I have played more competitive hard nosed AAU basketball than your fat sit at home self loathing butt. Second not sure if you watched the game but Duke does not get outhustled, those pretty boys play their tales off.

Second off, Ive never talked bad about football, cause personally you all piss me off even more bashing the football team with the fire Dooley crap and stuff. Tennessee is a great football school and I have been in attendance for more games than I can remember, as I am a Tennessee graduate. I would love for Martin to turn the program around and start bringing in a better class of basketball player, and being under the wing of Gene Keady I am sure we wont see any more Ramar Smiths running the team. I simply will never pull for Tennessee over Duke. I have watched them for 20+ years with my papaw and you can call that bandwagon all day Oakland Raiders, where is your connection there.

Ah yes the obligatory blind "I've played more basketball than you've watched" message board routine. Weak. You have absolutely no possible way of knowing that as fact. You show too much ignorance.

Then go root for Duke football and quit being a fair weather fan because I gurantee you I don't consider you a Vol. Nobody wants you wearing the orange in fall then changing to Duke blue come December.

For the life of me I can't comprehend how some morons actually root for one team in football, wearing the colors, singing the fight songs, but come basketball season they bash the same fight songs and colors.

So let me get this straight. You're a UT fan in football, graduated there, been to all these games. But are a Duke fan bc your grandpa or someone got a degree there and yall watched the games together etc. Then why dont you cheer for Duke in Football too? Oh i know why bc they suck. And you chose to cheer for us in football over them bc were a better football program. So you choose to root for the team with the better program in each sport. Not bandwagon at all :crazy:

I also love how this douce says for us to "win an SEC Championship then we'll talk". Umm, we won the SEC outright just 3 years ago. Try to keep up.

Makes sense. She's been dead for 7 years.

And why dont you explain the green bay packers where are your ties. You live in Knoxville so clearly you can ONLY like the Titans.

Everybody wants to go to one extreme or the other, and do not even bother trying to understand what I'm saying. All I'm trying to say, is that his record and accomplishments are hall of fame worthy, but his skills as a tactician are not as great as many think they are. At the schools he has been at, he has had the ability to load up on talent (as he should). His national title teams were heavy with upperclassmen. I'm not saying Roy isn't a great coach, I'm not saying he isn't a hall of fame coach. I'm just saying that stripped down to the bare essentials of what a coach is, I think Roy is sometimes given more credit than he deserves, much like Billy Donovan after riding one good class for a few years.

I hate Roy Williams. That said, he is an excellent college basketball coach. He builds the classes that he rides, and he does this almost every single year.

I guess the most simple way I can say what I mean is this. Given the SAME exact roster to work with, there are about 10-12 coaches I would rank above Roy Williams.

Are you trying to limit the scope of a college basketball coach's duties simply to in-game coaching ability? If that is the case, then there are plenty of coaches, in my opinion, that could take Calipari's talent, year in and year out, and win championships; yet, no other coach recruits as well as Calipari. He rides the talent that he recruits.

That said, Williams has taken talented teams and won multiple national championships. If not for piss poor shooting from the foul line for two players who shot around 90% from the stripe for their careers (Heinrich and Collison), then Williams has a national title with yet another team.

Stupid comparison. The Titans have barely been in Tennessee for ten years. A lot of people had a different pro team long before the Titans ever moved. Pretty sure Tennessee has had a basketball team a little bit longer. It's just easier to be a Duke fan when they started winning big though. Just own up to it.
