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.
Well to be fair I'm 30, and I was thinking about the big 3 of UT mens sports in my lifetime. Definitely experienced a decade worth of garbage in baseball and football. We were also pretty bad at basketball a few times in my life. So 1 decade of crap (which is mainly what I've experienced) is definitely worth a title to me Lol. Also I love Barnes. I already said that. But I'd say a title isnt a taste. People still live in '98 and talk about it with such passion. I was 5. I wish I could remember that amount of success. A little bit of "if you're not first you're last". I respect and understand your opinion though.
 
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.
Lol Bruce Pearl built that culture before all that and it carried through the Tybdall and Martin years. Played in big time tournaments and played big time teams in the OOC every year.
 
Why does 17 games bother you so much? The lower divisions have done it forever and nobody cared...but heaven forbid D1 do it..

I have always hated that argument, and it never made any sense to me.
I made a statement that it will be a grind. Do you disagree or just want to be argumentative?

Bruce pearl built very little, he got fired and put the program under investigation that effected our HC pool and everything else. I swear our fans are the most ignorant bunch in the SEC sometimes
