Rick Barnes discussion (merged)

[BernardKingGOAT]

That was a pathetic lost. I stood up for who I believe is the better coach and he chose to hang me out to dry. I mean first round? Lol. To an Ivy League? That’s bad. No excuses.

Games like that happen in a one and done crapshoot. Hardly ever identifies the best team

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

The fact you think going out and getting drunk is better than studying is pretty telling about your intelligence. I’m embarrassed to have the same opinion on Barnes as you, maybe I’m stupid too

Not liking Barnes for whatever reason isn't stupid, unless it's because you don't think he's a good coach

 

[OrangeInKy]

Where's all the f***ing a$$holes that say Pearl is better than Barnes?

They will still be out. They are a loyal group. If Barnes get to the Final 4 this year they will still be on here talking about their guy.

 

[OrangeInKy]

What a weird post. You are a weird person.

I do start to understand , seeing that line you highlighted , why he loves Pearl and not Barnes though.

This is probably the worst thread on VN

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

DK getting hurt in a thirty point blow out would pretty much end our chance at a title. I want TN to win it all!!! It’s comments like these that drive me nuts.

The starters can stay in and dial it way back. They could also trip getting off of the hotel elevator.

Wow u guys are like a cult.

Think he went that away———->

Let’s grab the torches and lynch mob him boys!!!!

Sheesh.

The irony....

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Instead of fighting each other we should all be laughing at Kentucky

Nah, we can do both. The Pearl slurpers deserve everything that comes their way, because they straight up just make stuff up based purely on emotion.

Criticizing Barnes' performance in March is fair game; but the ones that turn around and act like Pearl is some great postseason coach and is miles better than Barnes in March are just plain stupid. It's all based on one miracle FF run from 5 years ago and the fact that they liked how Pearl made them feel 15-20 years ago. It's not based in reality.

My fav part about your Barnes post was the “while up 30” part.

Lmfaooooooo tell em

 

[berryvol]

Pay up

Yes king

 

[berryvol]

Pearl blew it. Difference with me and alot on here I’m honest and don’t have an agenda. Pearl had the horses for a final 4 team and didn’t show up. Hurt his legacy. U can’t win ur conference and then lose first round to an Ivy League. Shows ur team wasn’t prepared.

Clearly no agenda with you bub

 

[VolPack22]

We now have eight 25-win seasons in our history and Barnes has 5 of them (3 consecutively)

And Nico tearing an ACL in a meaningless bowl game would have have hurt our 2024 season. What was Heupel thinking?????
You are absolutely digging and digging for reasons to come at Barnes while refusing to let go one the one that got away. The same one that hurt our chances all those years ago when he played his stupid son over Maymon. Y’all seem to forget that.

If we lose this, it validates the exact reason Texas moved on from Barnes

I hope he realizes that

Moved on from what? What have they done since him?

So, now I guess Texas doesn’t have validation?

 

[volbound1700]

Geez... why is this thread still going on?

I almost moved the posts. Then I thought nahhh, let the gravel eaters read through that.

 

[GAVol]

Geez... why is this thread still going on?

Because some people would rather be right than enjoy themselves.

Instead Barnes takes TN to its second EVER back to back Sweet 16.
