Those Vol fans old enough to remember Charlie Brown

While most of us don't see this team going far. An SEC tournament exit has little to do with Final Four aspirations. The NCAA tournament is typically about matchups and who gets hot. Clearly good guard play usually advances in March and especially that seems like a mismatch of any team with good guards. However till we see the match-ups nothing is off the table. If we draw teams that their strength is in the post we have faired much better. I am not scared of Purdue for example. For some teams they want no part of those guys as they will kill them in the paint. We can hurt them. However I don't want to see a team like Miami for example thats guard laden. They will press us and turn us over and get the game at a frenetic pace. All I am saying is too soon to give up. Every team but 1 ends with a loss in the tournament. Perhaps we can stave off elimination long enough to surprise us all. Its worth mentioning we are down on our guys but ask yourself why are we still in the 3 or 4 line in every projection? Its because loads of parody and not hardly anyone can string chunks of wins together. March is very wide open to about the Elite 8 range where the dominant teams remaining will take control.

I'm very optimistic...about our BaseVols
Me 2. But, they are still 0-3 against Power 5 teams and Grand Canyon St. or teams with a pulse. But, they will be fine, a lot of major league pitching . But, you don't see me posting that sh!t in the Baseball Forum, because I consider it, trolling

I think we will end up playing Duke in the second round in Greensboro.

TLDR:

Without ZZ this team not going anywhere. Might even lose 1st game

It seems like my whole life I’ve been waiting and hoping for the Vols to make the Final Four. How many times, though, have I been like Charlie thinking this will be the time that Lucy doesn’t yank that ball away. And then, every damn time. Sigh 😞

Charlie Brown is timeless and crosses generations. A holiday favorite and that gif with Lucy has been a long standing favorite of mine when our sports stunk. Don't use it much these days and that's a good thing. Keep lucy on the bench as long as we can....wait....is that misogynistic?

Charlie's sister Sally had a crush on Linus while Lucy wanted Schroeder to be her boyfriend.

You’ve been selling us playing Duke in Greensboro like it’s Amway dish soap or a Mormon Bible. I hope you’re getting commission.

Edit- @ Stoerner, I’m not going to argue with you. I don’t find the need to critique someone’s comment. But you have that right so fire away.

Go Vols and Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
