The Official #11 Tennessee @ Kentucky Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ESPN

Hmm. Maybe I misread tone, just seemed low

I love my hometown, just being playful but can see where people see it as hurtful. Not my intention, apologize if I did.

Yet disregard inexplicable losses where our front court starters just disappears.

Wish some of you could just enjoy a win without these kind of comments

 

[McCat]

Ha. There will be no JG at QB to give you the game then

I mean, take away the pick 6s and we still would have won.

But my original post was in jest, to be clear.

Anybody know the last time we had two freshmen combine for 50 pts? I think but could be wrong Lang Wiseman and Allen Houston had 27 each against Arkansas when they were freshmen

Yet again, is the ACT score for ETSU so pathetic you keep insinuating I’m for running Barnes off? I said it’s concerning, not fire up the torches and run him off. You’re trying to stretch one thing into another which is only your own stupidity not mine lol.

It is rather easy to get in to etsu. My last choice after getting dropped from 3 tennis scholarships, because I had heart surgery my senior year. But ill take my masters from UT to be my guiding light.

No you wouldn’t have

Glad to see the 2 freshman just take the game over. We've been missing that all year. Hopefully the light bulb came on for both of them tonight. No one from KY could guard either one of them.

Its basketball. Losses happen you yahoo. Jesus.

Also my post is not in jest because I hate Uk and enjoy owning them in every sport. The only good Wildcat is a dead one

Hell yeah, you’re one more degree ahead of myself. Respect. Playing about ETSU, hell of a medical program.

Our freshmen: up for the big games, not so much for the "blah" games. Well, maybe they will grow up before the season is over. You certainly have to be happy with the last two Saturdays.

 

[VolGee4]

I’m not for firing Barnes if you could actually use reading comprehension clown. I did say that there is reason to be concerned with inexplicable losses against inferior opponents based off the actual data of what happened at Texas. If you can’t discern that then it should probably be your education that you should question. Good evening.

I can’t say that I know his history at Texas year by year. But a lot of people just point to the Durant year and don’t do their research. That team was very, very young.

The fact that he’s beaten Cal at least once every year with the program that he inherited is unbelievable.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Haha I am in 100% agreement with you, I bang the drum for JJJ on here all the time, but it is funny how much you're hammering this home

I pick hills, and I die on them

Sure is! Good game tonight! Go vols!

Please report back.

Actually looks like a mirror image of VN

They do, the Florida game is what spooked me honestly. A loss is one thing but that was the only thing that honestly caused a little concern. I will say if we pay championship salaries is it not fair to expect that kind of consistent play? Coach Cal, K, and williams all can afford a terrible year bc they actually all have multiple championships. Kind of hard to reference Barnes with them when he doesn’t have close to the same resumé.

I have a feeling Calipari may not be back for the 2021-2022 season.

I want to keep Barnes because he is proof that Tennessee can be a powerhouse in basketball.

I saw where his name is mentioned with the nba.

 

[tennrich1]

I saw Ole Miss pulled out their game against Auburn. I listened in the car for about 20 minutes to that game. Announcers (both) were beside themselves with the officiating. Rarely do you hear any broadcasters do that but apparently it was so bad they just could not believe it. I don’t usually blame officials but they were BLASTING them.

I hope he does leave

Cal doesn’t have multiple championships. Barnes has only been to the NCAAT about 24 times with 4 different schools. We aren’t exactly a basketball blue blood, so paying money to keep a coach is fine with me.

I don’t. I’m enjoying owning Kentucky.

 

[BreatheUT]

Man those young kids really showed up. This is the Keon we have been seeing flashes of all year.

I wonder if Kentucky basically having freshmen playing a prominent role on their team had Keon and Jaden take it personally. You know they know those guys.
