Interesting tidbit I just heard from AP...

He thinks Rickey Gibson will go through Spring Practice with the team...surprising to me considering his future is uncertain with the team.

Lady Vols hold Texas A&M to 37 points, Rick Barnes moves to edge of his seat.

The Boston Massacre​

Late in the afternoon of March 5, 1770, British sentries guarding the Boston Customs House shot into a crowd of civilians, killing three men and injuring eight, two of them mortally. Surrounded by jeering Bostonians slinging hard-packed snowballs, the small group of soldiers lost control when one of their number was struck. The soldiers fired despite explicit orders to the contrary.

Sailor Crispus Attucks was the first to fall. Attucks’ past remains mysterious, but he likely escaped slavery around 1750 and spent the next twenty years working whaling ships. The only victim of the Boston Massacre whose name became widely known, Crispus Attucks was memorialized as the first hero of the American Revolution.

I forgot they played early. I turned it on and it was like 72-30, . Hope they just keep rolling like that. If Caldwell can keep this success going, she's about to climb up in the group with Heupel, Vitella, & Barnes.

37 for the entire game!?! I had to verify that score. Great job by the Lady Vols!

They played poorly against UGA, but they also lost Cooper to the ankle in that game. Played only 13 minutes with only 2 points.

Today - 19 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists.

John Adams defended the British soldiers in court and secured acquittals and helped those who WERE convicted avoid the death penalty (they were branded on the thumb).

He probably ends up staying.

Really dumb that he had to make his posturing public.

Since ya know, many NIL opportunities include being in the public lol

This story still amazes me. Samuel Adams arranged for cousin, John (Declaration signer), to represent the Brit soldiers to promote a show of no favoritism to help settle the rage around it. Then John goes on to get the better of prosecutors Robert Treat Paine (patriot Declaration signer) and Samuel Quincey (loyalist) in the show trials.

The major benefit to the colonies was Robert Treat Paine became so incensed with the results he gave up wanting to compromise with the Brits and dedicated all of his efforts to the patriot cause from that point on. Meanwhile, Quincy endured a fall from aristocratic status with the war and went into exile in Great Britain where he remained until he died.

I'm gonna throw 3 names out there as possible replacements for Barnes when the time comes.
These names aren't my picks but I wanted to read people's reactions.

Anthony Grant
Chris Mack
Richard Pitino

Anthony Grant- failed at Alabama

Chris Mack- good at Xavier not so great at Louisville

Richard Pitino- horrible as a Big Ten Coach at Minnesota but is overachieving st New Mexico.


Hard pass on all 3.

Ol’ sarge would be a great replacement!

So you don't Grant could succeed with an A.D. that would give him support? He was successful at VCU and currently at Dayton

Mack probably won't sniff a power 5 job for a little while

With Pitino I would argue that he got Minnesota job before he was ready. He's been pretty good at New Mexico.

I'd prefer Pat Kelsey

 

[JohnnyD1024]

Going from coaching High School to Division 1 college basketball and being successful as quickly as he was is impressive

 

[JohnnyD1024]

I'd prefer Pat Kelsey

Me too but It will probably take a lot to take him away from Louisville.

Chris Mack and Richard Pitino yes. Mack being top of the list.

Grant no. He has largely underachieved at Dayton. Not a bad coach, but would not live up to the standard here.
