Do you have the reports that don't?

I see the $ DW has put toward the B ball program. We have guys recruiting places we've never been before. Look at the travel DW has allowed thr basketball team to schedule. Yes, the new name of TBA is stupid, but that's another couple mil headed to the basketball program. It's pretty easy to see that DW is putting a ton of resources toward basketball.

So what does UCONN have that we don't?
We have a packed arena, seemingly a good recruiting budget, since assistant have only really left for steps up, a good assistant coach salary pool, a national travel schedule.

A coach capable of winning a championship? Amarite? 😏

It's weird...so many of the things you say really highlight your level of ignorance to TN basketball.

"the travel DW has allowed the basketball team to schedule"

The Grant/Admiral era pre-dated DW and that team played at the Barclays Center, Footprint Center, Battle of Atlantis, at Iowa State, Maui Invitational, at North Carolina, at Butler, at TCU...

Barnes created that culture before DW ever showed up man. Barnes was scheduling Gonzaga, Butler, North Carolina, Purdue, Villanova, etc. he set that standard of playing top tier opponents and traveling to do it well before he had even started winning here.

You should instruct Sally that she needs to know that Alabama fans are obese buffoons; and that is well known. But Tennessee fans are all good looking. (I think she got bad info from that troll yesterday.) You have to teach her how to interpret the world. She's trying to learn. 😆

She's not much for creativity. Maybe the fact that a crowd is flipping me off is strangely accurate for me and VN.

It would be interesting to see what she produces for SweetAsSodla.

Different mindsets. Id take 10 years of losing seasons for 1 title. I understand wanting sustained success, we all want that. But people don't want just a taste of it here and there. That's why I hate pro teams that are on the cusp and don't make a move to go for it. If you fail you fail, no shame. But I don't think there's any reason UT fans should accept any less than championship expectations. Otherwise what are we doing? We aren't MTSU. I'm not a fahr Barnes guy at all, I love him. I'm just saying having this much success has led to higher expectations which I'm sure Rick shares as well.

10 years of 💩 for one f'n title?...that is a HUGE hell no for me...

And then you say "but people don't want just a taste of it(success)here and there"...that is one of the biggest contradictory statements I've seen in a long time..😖 How in the hell is 1 title and 10 years of 💩 not "a taste of it here and there"?

You have to build a strong program to even get a shot at a f'n title, and we have a great program thanks to Rick Barnes tbat gets a shot every damn year, and I'm good with that and damn proud of it.
