Recruiting Football Talk VIII

During the timeout.... I could kinda see Barnes whiteboard...... He had two lines going in opposite directions. One where Zig shot and one where someone slid over to the wing. At one point it looked like he was telling someone to come up from the block and set a screen. I really wonder if Zig was supposed to pick and roll with Okpara but pulled the 3 ball instead.
Would not surprise me… we’ll probably never know but it just seems like way more sense for that to be the case especially with 9 seconds left
 
I would love to meet them in the SEC championship game. I think we beat them. I also think we could have won if Gainey was healthy.
We have that feel of the tournament party ruiner for the super hot favorite in March. I don't think anyone will want to draw us simply because we will make every game a knife fight on top of a train in a sand storm
 
I have to give the Vols credit for hanging in there. This team doesn't really have a great scorer. They are very limited. Having said that, the SEC was never going to allow TN to win that game.
Eh. I don't think the refs were great. But there were calls on both teams that should've been called and weren't.

I don't think the refs cost us the game. The only call that rant got me was the travel call in okpara that bilas railed on... Then the next play we did the same thing and they didn't call it there either.

Is it weird to say they bad but fair in their badness?🤔😂

ZZ just went for it. Which is fine, again, he earned it. Def not what was called. But it was a shot to win, that's all you can ask for on the road to beat the #1 team
 
Refs were trash.

Bad break on the blocked shot by UT getting kicked out for an open Auburn 3.

Bad break on Zakai missing the iso vs. Broome.

Love going for the win/lead on the road.

Had guys crashing the glass and Lanier barely mistimes his jump or he has a put back opportunity.

Milic has got to be stronger inside or rediscover his outside shot. He can't be a liability from both.

Win on our homecourt and win enough on the road. This team hopefully makes it to the top 4 in the league, but if not, it doesn't mean they aren't a good team. They are capable of beating anybody on any given night.
 
It was a great play... That got a great look for one of if not our best player that was in and out.

I don't have an issue with it at all...
If there was 2 seconds left I’d agree. 4-21 from 3 for the team 0-5 from 3 For Z, I just don’t think a rushed 3 with 9 seconds is the correct decision

The play design for 2 guys open, but I just don’t think that’s the correct design for the situation

The last 2 minutes were heavily slanted in Auburn’s favor with it starting with the travel call. That hurts in a one possession game.
 
To each their own. We’ve both been logged in here for 15+ years now (happy anniversary btw), but I don’t ignore - I like seeing it all lol.

The only direct action I’ve ever taken in all these years was when @butchna and I teamed up to excommunicate LebVol lol.
Glorious times.
 
I thought @Freak locked someone out of the Gruden Threads. He might have just kicked them totally off the site altogether. Whichever it was, I remember @Freak doing it while he was wanting in line for movie tickets and posted about it. That was a wild night on here.
You apparently have a better memory than I do.

You should try lions mane mushroom supplements.



*something went down in a Gruden thread and you stepped in and perma-banned a troll. I think they were calling you out or one of the mods. I don't remember all the exact details but I remember you coming in out of the blue and banning the poster and then saying you were in line for tickets when you did it. 🤔

Nah, the refs did just enough to do what was required of them.
 
Z had a open look not a bad shot at all. It just didn’t fall but it easily could have. I have no problem going for the win on the road. Chances are anybody going into the paint was going to get bodied hard and wasn’t about to get a call in that situation. I totally agree with going for the win and Zeigler is one of the ones you want shooting for the win. GBO
