Add a few more exclamation points and you may be able to change his mind.

Stop doing drugs

Barnes is the best at coaching down to his opponents.

Come on now. That should be acceptable at Tennessee

Threads gone quiet

 

[All Vol!]

Anybody so hungry for Tenn to lose that they bump this stupid thread in the middle of a game should be banned, and I ain’t even joking. So silly.

Yep. The adjustment of playing Aidoo and Awaka was the difference

…and the law of averages catching up for Knecht.

It sucks that the mods move stuff from the game threads here or this probably would’ve died long ago.

Then we're stuck debating Barnes during every... single.... game thread. Sorry, I can't.

Nobody on the whole team could shoot and Barnes put Aidoo and Awaka in together--it definitely helped. GOOD coaching.

Oh, I totally understand the move. Catch 22 for you guys for sure lol.

Right because playing on the road is incredibly easy.

You should hear yourself.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

We do this every year under Barnes, and it’s exactly why we can’t make runs in the tournament.

Bless your heart

 

[BisonVol]

Can we let this thread die? Just delete it from existence? It’s usage is a joke at this point.

Do what? Win 20+ games? This isn’t football.

I'm glad it's over here. I know exactly what I'm going to see every time.

Nice edit by the way

 

[BisonVol]

You’re looking at why this team will never do anything in the tournament. They just can’t get up for games and look totally lost. They are lucky Missouri stinks otherwise they would be getting killed. I think they read their own headlines and just come out and go through the motions and struggle to catch up.

I think it’s a very real concern. I’m hesitant to bank on this team going deep for the same reason. Not the first time this season that the team has come out flat as if the guys have been reading their press clippings. Glad we survived. Hopefully Barnes gives them a very blunt and embarrassing film session to humble them before A&M comes to town.

Barnes is the best at coaching down to his opponents.

I believe the stat last weekend was that Barnes has the most 30+ point wins in the SEC in the last so many years. That’s not coaching down to opponents. You guys just watch UT every game and not anyone else.

Smells like our 20th win on the season!

 

[walkenvol]

Yep. The adjustment of playing Aidoo and Awaka was the difference

I thought Knecht catching fire in the 2nd half was the biggest difference however, the decision to go big was effective and CRB stuck with it considerably longer than before. JJJ was pretty ineffective tonight. Will be interesting to see if that lineup becomes more popular.

NAH...... you are just standing WAY TO CLOSE to your herd. Hate to see you and the first 10 in your club in one place.
