…I bet they can’t make a Final Four.

Why stop there? This group of losers have never even won a national championship!!!

 

[volbeast33]

Great staff meeting this morning as I said “How about those Vols? I told them my favorite moment was all the confirmation that Tennessee men were more tough and physical than Duke men. This win and the Clemson win has led to two really great mondays.

I bet Barnes will counter-signal in the media this week. He has a lot of cache in the sport, so it may work out for him.

[Jackcrevol]

Buncha whiny bitc*es.

 

[BigSteve09]

Seldon will be our secret weapon that we bring out later in games, especially down the back stretch of the season. Can't wait.




Talent!

If we were playing FDU I'd be a bit more worried about this narrative that is being presented before Thursday. FDU is a small and athletic team, but they typically have 5 guys that drive to the rim much like A&M. They finished the season top 100 in 2 point makes and 2 point attempts. FAU is closer to Auburn in style of play, fast paced but they like to shoot from deep.

I don't think FAU will respond very well to our physicality. Also, they've not faced a defense anywhere near ours that I'm aware of. I think our bench is deeper with better quality depth.

They are good, I just don't feel like they are on our level. I have a feeling we're starting to gel into an identity without ZZ and we should keep getting better.

This game will depend a lot on if the refs allow us to be physical without calling fouls. If they allow it, we could dominate, if they listen to the national media about us being bullies, it could be a long game.

 

[NMVol]

I bet you thought this was a good idea when you posted it.

Bless your heart.

Narcissistic outlaw!

 

[drvenner]

We're going to be in the Elite 8.

Counting chickens, hatching, all that stuff. Come on, now. Nothing is a given.

 

[JCP201]

This crap right here is going to hurt us. Duke was flopping all over the place and refs checked with a microscope whether anything was flangrant-- of course, Media doesn't report that.

I bet the refs will not let us play our game due to media BS.

Ask Dickie V if Barnes is a dirty coach.

 

[drvenner]

Gonzaga gonna lose?

NOPE

 

[drvenner]

Who?

If you don't give a hoot, then neither do I.

 

[drvenner]

Dude get real. FAU isn’t beating us. If you think differently then give me the reasons why they will.

Because they are 33-3 and if we take them lightly, we are in trouble. No games are easy at this point. IF you think that going in, you are much more susceptible to the upset. I do hope we feel dissed for being only a 5 point favorite.

 

[drvenner]

You do you. We win easily.

If we lose, I am blaming you and only you .

 

[tnvols72]

 

[drvenner]

Never change, BOT.

Yeah, because the committee probably does not even look at numbers like those.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Possible narratives:
1. An incredible run by legendary future Hall of Famer Rick Barnes in the twilight of his illustrious career.
2. A highly veteran, senior team using experience and physical play to run through the tournament against a sport that has shifted to younger teams having the most success. Possibly influencing college basketball in the near future. Directly rivaling "one-and-done" recruiting and basketball culture.

What we are getting instead:
"Dirty thugs from Knoxville. Uros Plavsic is probably a Russian and has a shrine to Putin in his apartment. Vescovi's grandparents are probably suspiciously German. Rick Barnes gives all his players brass knuckles to hold in their balled up fists."

It's fine. Embrace the narrative. Crap, I always liked Old Anderson and the Assassins better than Dusty Rhodes and Wrestling 2.
