Recruiting Football Talk VII

Can't get over that Candace - Bruce segment coming out of our win

Sometimes the sports gods pay you back

That was a VOLS moment. Even though Bruce is not a vol, candace used her vfl rank to bring Bruce back into the fold to have a moment. He needed it, we all needed it

Me currently on this Sweetens Cove…

 

[drvenner]

That first 3 by JJJ was massive. It gave him confidence and he looked confident with his shot all night. Can't emphasize enough how big this was.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Damn these Vols. Made me pour a couple glasses of Weller 12 on top of the beer during the game and I'm supposed to be up real early to take the family to the zoo for an Easter egg hunt. Gonna needs lots of coffee in the morning because I’m too wired (and tipsy) to sleep now.

What kind of eggs are yall hunting for at the zoo?

Blue Jay?

 

[Brillovol]

I mean, he ain’t wrong.

 

[Orange.]

With the emotions and good vibes.... seemed like a good time.

Hell, I even admitted Barnes surpassed Bruce tonight.

And you won some money on us winning the SEC season iirc Time for everyone to pull together. From one Carr fan to another.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

We owe that stupid school so much.

I picked up a shift Sunday morning thinking there was no way they'd have a game that early

I dont watch postgame shows, what did she say?

She basically said he brought us back to relevance. She also praised him for getting former great players involved in the program again. More than that but that's the general idea. Very praiseworthy and you could tell he was touched by it and you could tell he still loves this place

Went to Twitter and searched Tennessee Basketball and sorted by top posts and it feels like over half of the posts are pissed off UK fans crying.

Hahahah hahahah hahahahah

Go to hell, UK. Hope you’ve been enjoying watching from the couch.

 

[drvenner]

That's pretty good but they got away with a lot too.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Yup analysts have said if called honestly, he'd be at the FT almost every time. Like a modern Bill Russell. The refs don't even know how to call it. They're embarrassed to call it every time on his opps.

As long as they don't call them, I guess you play him rough.

Imo Barnes's strat was good last time. Close loss. Knecht is up to speed. Keep doing what we tried last time.

...if they called it right, that po would foul out on OFFENSIVE fouls by halftime...he literally throws people all over the place...and they call the foul on the defender EVERY f'n time.

Are you as blind as the idiots you quoted and the refs that let him do it?

1 win away from winning a little more
3 from winning a lot more

Coach Barnes can’t lose on Easter. It just wouldn’t be right. We’ve got this.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Most do. Just tired of seeing the comparisons.

Most in the basketball forum do not actively dislike Pearl. It’s disingenuous for some to suggest otherwise. It’s the constant griping about Barnes in March that people just get exhausted by.

I think the people constantly try to tear Rick down by pining for Bruce has actually been unfair to Bruce. People wouldn’t be so hard about the departure if they just stopped making the comparison as you said.

 

[drvenner]

I have to say that Duke has been given the easiest path to the Final Four in a very long time.

 

[Weezer]

I mean, he ain’t wrong.

And on Sunday?

He is risen.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

The guys did a awesome job on Alexander..

 

[drvenner]

We need to get to 75 to win, IMO. We can. Just make our shots

One point off. We needed 76.

 

[Orange.]

Suck it, Creighton. Bluejays feeling very... blue.

 

[Jimmy Football]

We did it, @Checker_the_Shire !

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

The rules analysts and ballplayers said the opposite overwhelmingly. Otherwise Shaq should've been penalized every single play of his life for "BeiNG ToO StRoNg and TaLL" lol.

Dude is huge and they know he's wrapped almost every play, but they're too shy and embarrassed to call it every time. Should they? Quite possibly yeah. But good for other teams they don't and for now let teams drape all over him like Russell.


Doesn't matter. Let's just go beat their *** after tonight. They've won all 3 tourney games by double digits. Their shooters are going now. We have our work cut out for us and then some.

**** the anal-ists...open your f'n eyes and see for yourself...don't let those idiots tell you what to see.

 

[drvenner]

Just heard that Purdue shot 48 FT against us in Maui. It's probably going to be worse on Sunday. We'll still find a way to win
