We're almost as bad in basketball.....

I have to say it is hard to watch. The missed shots, the missed free throws, our starting big with 1 shot att, 0 pts, 0 rebounds and 5 fouls??? I think it is pretty simple, we are not very good.

This is following the Dooley pattern. Do better than expected the first year, but still be relatively lousy. The following year, have no identity as a team and prove that you're headed the wrong direction. 2011 for football used the crappy excuse of hunter and bray being hurt and 2013 for basketball will use the crappy excuse of maymon being hurt.

Give this guy a f---ing break. You guys whined and b--tched and moaned about CCm going to a zone...we do that and Henderson lights us up. Give him time look at the players he has brought in. Richardson, Stokes, Yemi, Reese...and he has players like Mcbee and Hall on the roster that pearl signed up on the team that have no business being on this team. Look at when we do our best. Golden, McRae, Richardson, Stokes, Yemi. 3 of those guys are his and are under classman...coincidence. Pearl left him garbage only McRae and Golden. Let him get his guys.

Would it sting as much if we were still good at Football? I think as a fan I am just worn out with not being competitive in any mens sports.

Well when you leave a coach with mcbee and hall...than yeah it is. Yemi just started playing basketball and is better than 4 star Hall. Pearl should have looked at talent, not stars!!

I like CCM and am cheering for him but I don't think he's gonna get it done. Basketball is an emotional sport and coach shows none. His players play uninspired. He never confronts the officials when his team is getting hoodood. The UT administration should have never allowed an AD with one foot out the door to have made this hire.

Hate to say it, but if we're getting flat run off our home floor by Ole Miss, there's probably going to be a lot of losing (and whining) over the next couple months.

Bingo. That is exactly what they did to the Vols. Improvement is needed very quickly or this is going to be a lost season.

Awesome. So we can look forward to you whining all year? Doubtful because you ( like many others) will only post when the vols are losing.

I know you may be a moron so here's a clue for you Sherlock. You can always use the ignore function for my posts if you don't like them. If you can't figure out how to do that, well here's an alternative method.....Just don't click on any of my posts. Please let us know if you're too stupid to figure out anything else. We're here to help!

So it's Pearl's fault?
Martin has plenty of talent. He just doesn't have a clue about how to use it.
I'll give him one thing: If we're going to have a losing season, he's going to do it his way.

I like CCM as well I also likede Buzz, but we were going nowhere with him at the helm. Ii do not see Stokes developing at all which worries me as much as anything about CCM. Maybe Stokes isn't as good as we all thought, however, it's CCM that should be developing him as a player. Richardson has improved, as has Yemi. Other than that, I haven't seen much improvement in any player. Not sure CCM will get it done here. Next season will be critical for him keeping his job. He also needs to recruit better.

I'm sure you're one of those guys that still blames Bush and Fulmer as well. I see a good bit of talent on this team. They are just too inconsistent. For example: Stokes, Golden, and McRae. That blame is placed on themselves and coaching. I agree that McBee and Hall suck and Yemi is a nice surprise and plays hard when he is in there, but when you play with no emotion at home against a conference opponent, something is wrong.

And yet, most of your little group time after time post "our best player is on the bench with an injury and out for the year", if Maymon is the best player then apparently Pearl could out recruit CCM. Which is it?

Me saying I'm tired of being crappy at every sport that matters is an understatement. I am severely pissed off and aggravated and any other word you can come up with, with our men's athletics right now. I'm tired of being patient with the football program, but I'm gonna have to be this upcoming year, once again gonna have to be patient with the basketball team since we don't have maymon and once again have to wait till next year. Patience for the baseball program. I'm so DONE being patient...I want to win NOW. I know it's just sports, but Tennessee sports is a big thing in my life and I'm aggravated with our men's athletics right now. Thank goodness for women's basketball and softball. But even in women's basketball we aren't who we once were. And all you ever hear about women's basketball and softball is no one cares about them. I am a huge fan of the softball program, the only athletic right now at UT that has a chance to win a national championship anytime soon, but I really want an athletic that people pay attention to on a regular basis at UT again. It's seriously so hard to be a vol fan right now. But I'm a true fan and will be a vol till I die. Ok depressing rant over.
