Want to continue sucking? Then don't hire Bruce back

Not really. Very competitive. Just not miserable as others. Realize that it won't happen every year. I loved Bruce and wish he was still here. But he isn't, and his success is simply not the norm at UT.

That's bc of the coaches we typically hire, doesn't mean we should lower the expectations.

Making the tournament isn't enough for Kentucky, why should it be enough for Tennessee? You've gotta make final fours and elite 8s if you wanna keep your job at UK, why don't we strive to be like them?

You mostly get what you are expecting. When you get what you are not expecting then that is called experience. A lot of these guys will have that go over their heads.

Yes! We finally agree on something. Just making the tourney every now and then and being happy is a loser mentality.

We should definitely strive to be at Kentuckys level. Making the tourney every yr at tennessee is a good measuring point for me but we shouldn't give an inch to those blue b&stards to the north. I'm well aware that u feel we should bow every time one of the BBN walks past us.

If we wanna be at Kentucky's level then how is simply making the tournament enough? That's not enough for them, whys it enough for us?

Agree. IMO we should give a coach 3 years, if he can't make the elite 8 or better can his a$$

I fing hate people like you and wish you would find another school!

That success should be the NORM here at UT! If other schools can do it we can do it to. I for 1 fully expect winning and championships to be the norm at UT!

Wow. Thanks. Maybe time to use my first ignore. Not going to get in a pissing contest. You don't know me, and I don't know you. You have no idea how many games I have attended and how much I support the university. Good luck to you.

It's not enough....we have to get a coach in here that consistently makes the tournament, consistently gets top 20 classes then we will start making sweet sixteens, elite eights, final fours and maybe god forbid win a championship....then maybe you won't be scared of Kentucky. We are building a program.

You don't understand though, just making the dance isn't enough for UK, we shouldn't settle either. Fire Zo, next coach gets 3 years, if he can't make an elite 8 fire him and try someone new....right? That's what UK would do, just making the dance isn't good enough for Tennessee!!!

Take your participation trophy and go home. Please ignore me.

There are winners and those that expect winning and there are participants who are just happy to be in the game. I know who I am, do you?

I agree. We have one of the best coaches in America waiting in the wings.

I know u r trying to be a smarta&& and twist everything to try to prove some fake point that u will claim success in proving......but to ur point obviously it's good enough for Kentucky bc cal didn't make the tourney last yr and he didn't get fired.

But he had a championship, so surely that's worth something, no?

Haha. I feel fine in my skin and don't have to resort to calling someone a loser. Again, good luck to you.

U said every yr.....they didn't even make the tourney so my standards are above kentuckys.

So a championship wouldn't earn an exception? For example, if UT hired Pearl back and we won it all next year, but he missed the dance the following year, you would call for his firing?

They are used to jumping on lone posters who disagree with them and now find themselves in the minority and don't know what to do. lmao

No, championships buy time. 2 years? I just might.

Let me know when Zo wins one.
