I guarantee 3/4ths of the posters in the basketball forum know more about the game than you do. Playing in the YMCA league doesn't give you the status of basketball expert.

Kinda ironic you are calling out UT 'bandwagon' basketball fans

(if there really are such things.. I've heard of bandwagon fans who had no interest in the university at all and then picked them up because of a good team - but not ones who are craving for a good basketball team... but have always been fans of the university.. just not much to cheer for - I'd assume a majority of those posters fall into that category and I see nothing wrong with that... the only ones I have a problem with is the ones that always like to make obvious and unnecessary statements like "football is king at UT so we shouldn't ever expect much in basketball so don't strive to want the best" etc to intentionally try to belittle the program to keep the perception down)

when you're the one with the Lebron James avatar - what's your connection to him?

and i guess you and the geniuses that posted in this thread are the ones to show us the way?

gimmie a break. tennessee basketball sucked for years. you couldn't get 10 people to go to a men's game when i was in school.

the fact that people care now, and it's brining out fans that you may never have seen before is now infringing on what you thought was your own little insider club.......

you know the type.......we'll be cool because we're the only TN basketball fans..........we were fans when they were bad.....you're the same person that posts on the main forum about who is and isn't "true fans" of Tennessee football.

and now you get to sit back and call all those that have come back to basketball bandwaggon fans.

get over yourself. we're tennessee fans, and i'll root or not root for who i darn well want to, when i want to. and not feel bad for it one iota.

It's a shame you missed UK fans taking ove TBA while Wade the Fade, the lunatic, Uncle Jed, and BooHoo Buzz stood listless on the sidelines. It was not a good experience. FWIW, it was very similar to Bama taking over Neyland this year while PF still :clap:ed on the sidelines. Thank God those days are behind us!

I wish I new how to run a survey , because if I could I would bet you that there aren't 2% of VOLS fans that actually want him gone.

Come on man everyones venting after a tough loss

I really don't have a comment about the content of your post....

However, I do find it very interesting that you consistently type the word "our" as "are." I mean, I'm sure you probably pronounce "our" as "are," but it's strange to see it repeatedly spelled that way.

Yes, I would very much like to know how to join this exclusive club of real fans rather than 'wannabes.'

we do need the crowds to show some more love consistently in my opinion but lets be real...

this team can be good but they are not right now

there is no chemistry
no flow to offense, no communication on defense,
they are scrappy but thats about it right now
the leader is tyler but even he gets a bit out of control and chism throws up more dumb shots than anyone in the country
how obvious was it at certain pts tonight tyler was taking the shot and then other trips you knew we were going to tatum.

hey here is an idea, call picks or switch...
dont go under a screen when guarding a shooter and dont go over when guarding a slasher
some simple rules.

and when you are within 5 feet of the basket make the shot

Bruce is agood coach and will have them ready sooner than later but right now we are not a top 25 team and have a long way to go.

You make a good point but you have to learn if you want anyone to pay half attention to what you are trying to get across, you have to improve your spelling. People spell words wrong periodically but the team names you could have at least looked them up,etc.
