If anybody thinks Ky is good then they are just trying to make the loss feel better

 

[Rockytop1018]

Remember the old days? Our football team kicked ass, and our basketball team sucked. Now, our football team sucks, and our basketball team... well, they do, too.

 

[fall2hb86]

It's not the team. It's the coach, if you can not see that you are blind.

What do u think Pearl could do with this team...we can't shut, and hell Pearl never had a defensive team, we just outscored people...u can't score if a walk on if your best pure shooter...

 

[SGMVols]

This UK team is worse than the previous ones

Not worse than Gillispie's last team, and that team blew out Pearl in both Knoxville and Lexington that season.

 

[catchnburn]

This UK team would beat four of the six Pearl played.

Truth

 

[UTCVol]

If you believe that you are dumb. Pearl is a winner plain and simple. What NCAA team did he coach that did not do well?

He went 19-15 with the team from last year plus Hopson and Harris.

Maybe... not last years team though

 

[92volalum]

Sounds like the same reason our football team lost so much.. face it Ccm is not getting everything out of the players he has.. Kent just suxs n we lost to them when will we beat them at Kent if not this year...

I know he gets a third year but the trend is not good on what he has shown as a coach..

Did mike h go out n find the most boring coaches to coach at ut...cdd n ccm

It suxs to be a tn vols these days...... flame me but its the truth.. nothing n I mean nothing exciting about watching this team.

In crunch time, most of the time your guards will win it for you. I would've put the ball in McRae's hands on every possession. He was feeling it.

Richardson's free throws were embarrassing. Golden has played with his head up his ass for some time now. We won't win many games with him playing like he has. He is in a funk/injured.

There is no NCAA run unless a miracle occurs. Give up on that. At least they battled the refs and Ky for the entire game. The final score wasn't indicative of the close game. It was a 2 possession game pretty much the whole way. If UT plays like that at TBA against Ky they can win. The refs won't be nearly as one sided.

 

[GLDunlap]

Did anyone really expect to win? I have been watching a while, and some of our best teams have failed miserably at Rupp. To continue to bash Martin is dumb. We had no chance. Kids played hard.

Against the worst team Ky has had in years?If we had no chance isn't that Martins fault? This team plays like he coaches. Sluggish

 

[Halph66]

That was embarrassing

 

[LocoVol]

Want him to pull a gun or something?

stomp, yell, get excited do anything with some emotion for our guys to feed off of and admit it or not working the refs helps. Seen a T change the flow of calls to many time.

You guy that act like Martin is doing this great job and defend everything he does are laughable.

 

[P8N4Heisman]

TN sports are an embarrassment. ..that uk team is not good..I miss the days where I could actually brag about a TN team...I blame my alcoholism on this past decade. #bbb#bringbruceback

 

[catchnburn]

Your IQ must be in single digits

UK was not good in the pearl era

 

[UTCVol]

Your IQ must be in single digits

Yes, Tubby and Billy Clyde's teams were just so awesome. Tell me more.

 

[fall2hb86]

If you believe that you are dumb. Pearl is a winner plain and simple. What NCAA team did he coach that did not do well?

His last game coached at UT...his guys quit on him, at least these guys continue to fight, even with not a lot of talent

 

[GAVol]

He went 19-15 with the team from last year plus Hopson and Harris.

That's among the commonly forgotten facts that signal someone suffering from Pearlnesia.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

His last one barely made the NCAAT and lost by 30.

 

[FleeceItOut]

Yeah that last year was a hoot.

Pearl's last year? Where the team started out hot, beat two great teams, got a top ten ranking? then pearl was suspended, the team sucked, but came back and they still made the tourney.

 

[Cartervol]

I know i'm just ready for Tennessee to be worth a damn at anything again..

 

[catchnburn]

That's among the commonly forgotten facts that signal someone suffering from Pearlnesia.

Webster needs to make that word official

 

[FleeceItOut]

His last one barely made the NCAAT and lost by 30.

Did they make it despite him being suspended for numerous conference games?

 

[GAVol]

I didn't act like Martin was doing a good job. I just think it's funny that you think screaming at refs will change anything that happens on the road in Rupp.
