Vandy pregame discussion

[Cartervol]

Where is that guy? I don't know how things are going to work out without him if he doesn't show up.

But either way I plan on hangin' out in the Game Thread a little bit, and won't be able to host this one at that time. Everyone is welcome over there, I'm sure Vol_fan_trapped_inKY(or however he spells it) wouldn't mind.

The whole concept is laughable.:crazy:

 

[lidderer]

Lidderer, how many BIG games has Vandy played at home in the past few years you guys are talking about?

I was just factoring in games where they pulled off substantial wins over clearly superior opponents.

They tend not to schedule a tough OOC schedule, so it puts a ceiling on how many big games they can really have. When they do(vs gtown in 06(?) and illinois in 09) they haven't fared well(0-2).

Robvol will pick up your slack

Yeah, he has the second shift.

That was my point.

that is ONE tough arena

Only outdone by Vandy's interior D. I said Vamd isn't good enough to matter this season. I didn't hear your excuse for the fact that Vandy has no semblance of interior D and Ogilvy being potentially the worst defender in the conference.

Actually vandy has quite good interior D throughout this whole season. I dont know why you think otherwise, unless you've only watched a few games I guess.

Oh right, that's probably it.

I've watched Ogilvy, period. They have no defense. Watching them drill Lipscomb or studying mindless stats from a bunch of patsy games is worthless.

hey congrats on watching 1 game, that's awesome. Remember when VMI beat Kentucky? Imagine if you just watched that game?

BOY KENTUCKY SUCKS!

Nice response, especially given that you know better. I could have made all of these comments long before this game, but you seemed happy in your stats driven bliss.

[lidderer]

and yet you made none, for the second time in a row.

Um, congrats for biting your tongue?

I dunno man, hard to bail u out on this one.

 

[lidderer]

also: where were my stats about this game? or is that just a thing you call me out on now because i watch games and view stats?

Anyhow, chill out curmudg-o, enjoy the win

I'll assure you I can back it up. I actually had a conversation tonight, well prior to the game, absolute absurdity of your comments.

weird me too, although i didnt even know the person who mentioned it to me, they just sympathized hahaha.

also what do you mean back it up? You didnt say anything interesting about this game except doing that boring old gristly hat-wanna-be huffing.

I'll look for you in the memphis pre-game and maybe you'll suggest something interesting, though I'm betting that's a no.

But honestly, good call on the importance of memorial tonight.

Great call on the defensive quality of a group of post players that every scout or coach that watches laughs at and gameplans to attack.

I'll consider having the individual PM you as to how silly I said your commentary on Vandy's interior D is. That do, or would you prefer not to know the other poster who thinks you're a moron.

One game does a season a make, you're right.

I love how all comments in the game thread during the 1st half were all "omg where is our offense! arrrgh!" and then the post game results come in after the inevitable--if one watches basketball---trailing D-pratfalls(this should be evident--stress on SHOULD--to any basketball viewer worth a dime) and people say "lol vandy can't guard wow!".

Good luck boys, but vandy will remain in the top 3rd throughout the season in this category, no matter what you want to believe otherwise.

Any bets on that? didnt think so.

Hey awesome, so you wanna bet me that vandy's interior D won't be top 3rd in the ncaa by season's end?

No? Really? No problem.

I could care less what your ******** stats say. When multiple college coaches and NBA scouts are effusive in their ridicule for Ogilvy's defense, and I see him get worked every time he plays a post with even a hint of an offensive game, I'll continue to be certian he sucks on that end of the floor. The more you post the more apparent you make it that you couldn't watch a game and evaluate what you've seen to save your life.

How stupid. Statistical garbage to support something that isn't there. They have now played well over one third of their season to build a base of garbage that won't be overcome in our lame ass conference. That's absolute proof of your genius. Our lame post game made them look like a HS team and you're arguing that they're solid because of the trash that they've done to date.

Hey, they shut down that legendary post game UMASS has.

 

[lidderer]

It's a messageboard, tiger, it's all half-in-jest and light-hearted, i mean we're talking about sports here, not life and death. I could be polite and congenial, but as you see from the likes of hat and bigpapa and etc. the best and most interesting kind of interactions are the oomph-y ones. It's not rocket science here in php land.

so that's a no then, right?
