Wasn't Pretty

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

But this team showed heart tonight. Got it done when it counted. We have a lot to improve on, but on a positive note Felix and Dubar looked a lot better tonight.
Go Vols, and let's get back to form at home against Georgia!

Playing on the road in the SEC is extremely difficult.

You'll likely think I'm being a jerk by saying this, and I'm really not trying to be, but was this worthy of a new thread? I agree with the content of your post, but it could have been placed in the game thread. JMO.

Who are you, the thread police?
Just making a thread where people could post some of their final takeaways from the game. What we need to do moving forward and whatnot.
Maybe even a little celebration after that beat down Tuesday. Lighten up, there's a lot more things in the world to be upset about.

Title mistake! Thought this was about an old girlfriend!

Great win tonight. Team showed toughness and resiliency as the game was close most of the 40 minutes. Tennessee got them at and in the end!

Like I said, I figured you would take it that way. Wasn't my intention. Post away.

Best basketball thread in years.

Wish you guys could stop using up the extra internet with all these threads.

Jkjk.

Good win. We looked good once we stopped turning the ball over.

Worst performance of the night was by Tom Hart. Every time Texas took the lead, it was versus the #1 team in the country.

He also said that Mashack was a 5th year senior.

Yep, and I think they showed they can win in more ways than one, which is what I was concerned about with DK leaving and Lanier having to shoulder the load. Got a lot of good play out of others tonight and didn’t have to depend on him or Gainey.
I am thankful for ZZ. It’s hard to beat experience like he has

Do you not like a broadcaster reminding the audience that we are the number 1 team in the country?

An SEC Road victory is worth 2 wins at home.

Vols had more of an inside game than they showed in Gainesville.

Well bro, it was kinda a jerk-ish thing to say.
It's not like we've had an over abundance of threads or someone had posted something similar. Imo, there hasn't been enough threads.

To answer your question tho, for reasons I listed I think it was "thread worthy". In addition, I posted a thread last game being critical of some players and the team, I think it only fair I made one giving some credit.

Even so, you probably don't need to worry about it because if people don't necessarily like a thread it will just drop on down and off the page.

It's kinda like natural selection but for threads.

To be fair, it wasn't really a jerk-ish thing to say if you receive it with an open mind and acknowledge that I tried to preface it with my intention to not come across as a jerk. In that case, what I said should have been viewed as no more than constructive criticism. If I didn't care how my message was received, I'd have just said quit clogging up the forum with every thought that pops in your head. But because I think you had good intentions and I sincerely had no intention of being mean about how I delivered my opinion, I tried to preface my comment as such.

You're free to disagree. Sorry if it hurt your feelings. Again, it wasn't my goal.

Anybody know how long it will take for Cade‘s shoulder to heal? Or will this be a season long thing?

 

[rdk4121]

Dubar was great. I had been saying he needed more minutes, and we need him to be aggressive. If he can be a semi consistent scorer, that will go a long way in easing our offensive concerns.

Others did their part in the end of that game, but he was the closer. It's what you expect to see out of your senior point guard.

Hey man, I wished things could've worked out with me and your Mom as much as you do, but just remember I'll always be proud of my little tennessee duke boy. Always know I will be your Dad, Son.

A road win after a humiliatiing defeat,

Ill take it

Not 50x when the #1 spot is already gone.

We absolutely don't know each other, so just by you admitting " you'll likely think I'm a jerk for saying this" tells me at the very least you know the average person would think what you were about to say is jerkish.
You then oddly asked me if I thought this was worthy of a new thread ? Do you really think I would have made a thread if I didn't there, buddy?

I'd just have said, quit clogging up the forum with every thought that pops up in your head".

Ok, albeit a bit passive aggressive, you've now actually said what you really wanted to say in the first place, and that's fine.
You're entitled to your opinion, but I disagree. I believe it was totally thread worthy, and like I said, this board isn't in any danger of being clogged up. It could use a few more threads during the week, IMO.

You're free to disagree. Sorry if it hurt your feelings. Again, it wasn't my goal.

Hurt my feelings? Not at all. You just gave your opinion, and I returned mine.

Incidentally, If I'm being totally honest I find it just a bit arrogant you have deemed yourself arbiter of necessary thread topics. Not trying to hurt your feelings or anything, just giving my penny back to your two cents.

OK. I did my best to explain my intent. I'd try and explain why I felt this way, but I don't think it would matter. Take care.

Surely you're not saying this thread is better than the "Kentucky Lost Again " thread are you?

 

[Lankykong]

Yeah, I don’t think UT will ever beat Texas by more than like 5 on the road or have a pretty game while Barnes and Terry are coaching. They just know each other too well.

The frontcourt and Zeigler played really well, I thought
