The Official #5 Tennessee vs. #6 Alabama Game Thread, 4:00 PM ET, ESPN

No that's simply not what is being said. Multiple posts saying we are better with him in the bench.

Ok?

I’ve tried to be respectful about Bob, but this call really does it for me. I’m glad he is retiring.

That was, purely and simply, one of the greatest games in Tennessee basketball history. There isn’t much that needs to be said beyond that. What an amazing game, amazing finish, and amazing win. Feels like March.

Mashack gets knocked because he doesn't play a pretty game but that's not why he's so valuable. Stats can't measure what he means to a team and that's what is so different about sports

If you don’t believe this, ASK COACH!

Worse than Larry Munson.

Not predicting anything whatsoever, but Mashack reminded me of Nicky Anosike today. Candace Parker rightly got a ton of accolades, but it was Nicky’s hustle plays and rebounding that put the Lady Vol’s over the top for those back-to-back championships in ‘07-‘08, imo.

When Barnes retires, Pearl would come back so fast if we wanted to hire him. Not a doubt in my mind.

Game threads are instant reactions. I've said A LOT of dumb chit in them. Doesn't mean anything. Fan is short for FANATIC. You're supposed to be crazy lol

Yep! And most athletes will tell you they do the same when they watch their favorite teams. Barkley has said he gets emotional ( insert profanity) throughout a game when Auburn plays poorly.

Worse than Larry Munson.

Possibly one of the best wins in Tennessee basketball history and it’s your swan song and that’s it?

 

[Lefteye]

Two claps and a Rick Flair!!!

Then 3 more woos followed by 3 more!!!

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Nope your dumb comments are just easy to pick out.

Thanks for following. I assure you I forget every post here within seconds after reading. Like water off a duck's back. It's really how this whole forum thing works - especially a game thread.

Can you imagine what the call would be like if it was John Ward!

Yeah. One word, legendary!!

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

On the offensive end he has been. Nobody has ever questioned his effort or defense though.

Not really

Yes he doesn’t show emotion

 

[RockyTop140]

Most entertaining ending I’ve seen in a while. I thought we were done for. This team can be tough to watch sometimes but boy do they fight until the end.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Okay, who had shack hitting the game winner on your bingo card.

GBO18 did

 

[Vol49er]

You sticking with that? Oops

Um, yes?

 

[utvolpj]

If you don’t believe this, ASK COACH!

Pretty sure a coach called out someone on Twitter who tried to make that argument about Mashack. It's just a horrible take if you've watched him play

I'm not a Bob fan but what do you want him to do here? Start screaming like a wild man where you can't understand anything

I tuned in for the call and reacted excitedly, as you’d expect and my dog was wide eyed and wondering what was wrong with me. I could not believe the lack of excitement on the radio call.

 

[vols 30]

Um, yes?

Biggest story of the game? LoL
