The Official #6 Tennessee @ #7 Texas A&M Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET

[Thunder Good-Oil]

lol........we won today right?......these last few pages have been super argumentative.....lmao. We're back in the hunt for a #1 seed and pulled out a great resume win today boys..... Can't we all just get along? ~ Rodney King

I think that a lot of the negas aren’t old enough to know about Rodney King (RIP).

Swear, this is exactly what I was thinking when I posted it. Did it for semi humor and thought "these kids probably have no clue."....lol

 

[vol24/7/365]

I thought the in-game commentators were decent. I appreciate commentators who don't feel obligated to always agree with the refs. There were 3 times where the 1 pointed out bad calls and on one correct call he didn't like, he changed his opinion when he saw the replay.

I disagree but we won. Moving on. Have a great night!

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Not prepared to play AGAIN.

Ok, here is a primer!GBO

 

[cardvolfan]

Need Gainey to drive and get to the line.........the one thing he does well is shoot free throws!

The one thing he does well? I’m not even going to try to explain to you, but Coach Gainey would like to have a word with you.

 

[VolCalls]

I don’t recall board rules being set aside because some can’t control themselves. A lot of the garbage directed at the players and coaches is putrid.

Thank goodness the coaches don’t react the same way many of our fans do.

 

[TJSVOLS]

It's a live game thread dude, people are supposed to give their live thougnts and opinions in a game. You don't have to read them.
Maybe you should try not letting it/them get you so wound up. Maybe stick with the main board.

Well, thanks for your insightful information about it being a live thread, I didn’t know that some people have to put every stupid thought they have out on the message board and like I said if some people on this site have their way there wouldn’t be two players out on the court And I’ll stick to what I wanna stick to without asking your permission

 

[cardvolfan]

We getting run today

 

[cardvolfan]

A half is 20 minutes long. A game is 40 minutes long.

 

[CAVPUT]

Too bad the negas, drive byes, newbies, trolls, and Legions can’t keep their s*** in the game threads. With every loss they pollute the entire forum.

So I wasn't missed? That stings.

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

My bad I should have said the thing he does really well! Even when he is not having a great game he is money at the line!

Y.W....let me give you another insight,
As a team we didn't play good and played awesome in the same game. Just like with Vandy.
You can be mad and complaIn/post about them playing bad AND you can be happy and complement them for overcoming play and playing good. Shocking I know.

 

[thehardknoxlife]

Basketball game threads are so hilarious. They've been a treat this year. I'm glad this team is pretty good.

They won. 77-69. There's always room for improvement, but overall a well played game. On the road against the #7 ranked team. Clutch down the stretch

I agree with that. I don't care how you get it, a win a A&M is impressive. Super proud of how they responded on the road today.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

We’re pretty spoiled. Having suffered through a lot of terrible Tennessee basketball in my lifetime, I feel ridiculously lucky every time I see these guys run out to play. All teams are imperfect, but this team is coming together at the right time. Sure seems like an era to enjoy while it’s happening.

Then why the heck do you have a problem with fans giving their thoughts about other fans? Way easy to see the negative value add TO THE PROGRAM putting SOME THOUGHTS out in a public (especially a free one) forum.

Some equate to missed shots, some turnovers, some common fouls, BUT some are more like Flagrant 1 fouls. Unfortunately there is NO Flagrant 2 fouls in play, having to leave would be a big plus.

There is a reason players earn respect for hanging in when things are going bad, and another status for those that don’t. Trashing coaches and teammates is never a money play. Other ways to acknowledge and address shortcomings, on the court and anywhere fans gather, physically or electronically.

You're taking this whole thread to seriously, my man. Try breathing and touching some grass to calm yourself down.

So what you’re saying is if things are going bad, you’re a whiner, but if things are going good, your a front runner. Gotcha.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Not sure about everybody but I stand behind Gainey needing to start over Mayshack

Love me some Gainey, and his defense out front is excellent, but he is not interchangeable with Shack providing defense on the taller players going low, and with our switching schemes that is critical. Not many guys out there that can match his defensive flexibility.

Damn. I'm glad we have him. He was CLUTCH down the stretch

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Oh geez you again....Nostradamus shows up AFTER the game to pretend he knew the outcome.
Going to tell you same thing as last week,
critiques can be made and players/coaches can do better in regards to said critiques. Two things can both be true at the same time.

Show me one dang post where I sugar coated anything or predicted Anything on the court!

[Namorto1]

We have a shot at a #1 seed if we win the next 4. That would be a milestone for this program.

 

[1morevol]

I wish to apologize to the forum up front. In the interest of improving seeding possibilities for our Vols, I will be rooting for Kentucky in their game against Alabama! Or, would it be better for Bama to win and us to beat them when they come to Knoxville still projected as a number 1 seed? Assuming we win the other remaining games.
