UT is getting no respect from other sec fans?

[vols2345]

I have been surfing the boards all day and everywhere i look everyone thinks LSU will expose us greatly and kick the crap out of us. Also everyone says we are "unproven" (dont know how thats possible) adn that we will finish 4TH in the sec east. god i hope we hand it to LSU tonight..

 

[rwemyss]

Yeah, so unproven... that Texas team was a cupcake. I sure hope it isn't USC or UGA fans talking.

I just came from tigerdroppings.com....theyre thinking its gonna be a real close game with abo 35% of posters thinking Vols win. They're also a lot of em giving props to coach Pearl for not only his record but bringing diversity and spotlight to the SEC.

You guys will probably sweep Kentucky this year. Heck, everybody's winning at Rupp. You might as well add to it.

You can hardly blame anybody for thinking that we'll eventually get exposed. Conventional wisdom is still that we're not big enough, deep enough and we can't shoot lights out every night.

We'll KNOW volumes about this team after the next 3 games. IMO 2-3 wins here and we go to the big dance this year.

[GAVol]

Honestly, I'll be happy if we win one of them and keep the other two close.

Good heavens. You should live in Indiana like me right now. You think Bama fans are obnoxious? They have nothing on Hoosier fans.

 

[GAVol]

I just don't see that happening . . . but I'd love to be wrong.

 

[vols2345]

yeah i know its not going to happen. but i would love it!!

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Most of the SEC fans just can't get use to the fact that UT is now a major player in mens hoops. They'll find out we are for real soon enough.

 

[tvolsfan]

i just hope we can keep it up. i want to beat florida.

 

[ukvols]

I don't care how much respect we get. In fact, keep the Vols out of the top 25. It will be easier if we are the underdog every night.

 

[IBleedOrange24/7]

With the title no respect........I like it that way. :victory:

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Unfortunatley we got our butts kicked last night. Don't think we got exposed. They beat us fair and square but the fact is we couldn't buy a basket in the first half. It was a good game.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

We had our chances but between all the blocks and missed layups it killed us.

 

[tidwell]

I watched parts of it between commercials of the football game... that looked like a very sloppy game. Everytime I flipped over there, the ball was just flying around the court, turnovers run amuck...

Buzz beat UF every year he was there...I wouldn't worry about that one if Pearl is as good a coach as everyone thinks.

UT will get some respect when they win consistently and contend for the Division..both of which they are doing so far..so UT is on the radar screen.
Win both games this week and UT will get plenty of respect! :devilsmoke:

Peterson didn't beat Florida in '01-'02. Now you've resorted to distrorting facts in an attempt to defend the buffoon. Good to see him having exactly the amount of success he deserves at Coastal Carolina. A third rate coach in a low rent league. A match made in heaven.
