  1. it’ll really be this easy: many of the posters i’m referring to will come running in here with vim and vigor should tennessee lose their next game. that’ll be as close as they get to identifying themselves. top 10 all time in wins, best coach in two major program’s histories, HOF lock, has now taken two different schools to three straight S16’s, and oh yeah, is beloved by all of your favorite players, including/especially the Godfather, TJ Ford. all of that and we can’t even get one person to just say, “hmm, looks like i was wrong about barnes.” those who can dish it but can’t take it should probably stop dishing it so fervently and frequently.
  2. 😂😂😂 every single response is about shit from a dozen years ago. even the people who actually reply can’t admit that they were wrong about barnes. allllllll of the comments in recent years about “free money” betting against barnes in march, how he’s the worst tourney coach ever, choker, blah blah blah. typical shit talker behavior. sooooo loud just banging that drum all day and night, until reality hits, you’re proven wrong (again), and suddenly it’s radio silence. tsk tsk tsk. to clarify: i’m not talking about you specifically @Js1. i’m using the “universal you” to refer to a gaggle of posters who’ve been very very loud for many years, but who are now conspicuously silent.
  3. kinda depends on y’all.
  4. what’s that? rick barnes is doing for tennessee exactly what he did for Texas? he’s taking the program to entirely new heights and breaking records year on year? he’s in his third consecutive sweet 16? he’s the best and most successful HC at both UT’s? he’s top 10 all time in wins? he’s a lock for the hall of fame? im sitting here with this gargantuan plate of crow, and im just wondering if there’s anyone here with the balls to come and eat it? you know who you are. all of you. you’ve been LOUD for years about how Barnes sucks and how he’s a huge failure in march. where y’all at? why is it so quiet in here? what happened?
  5. deadass that’s what it looks like lol.
  6. fwiw here’s a screenshot from page 1 of the chris beard to Texas thread: it was very surprising when we landed him after that six year extension.
  7. if we’d started our playoffs on time i’d be in the final matchup and winning. (i was supposed to be on top of that)
  8. although i will say, with this being a two week matchup it’s entirely possible that half of my lineup gets rested, catches covid, falls down a flight of stairs, or spontaneously combusts. have faith.
  9. then maybe you were out of the loop. we just had this conversation 2-3 weeks ago, i made essentially the same post as the one you’re reasoonding to, and it got a lot of pos rep (for this board). plenty of people who were just as shocked as i was. if you weren’t shocked when we hired beard then you weren’t tuned in. pretty much everyone thought we’d missed our window.
  10. there’s a whole lot of y’all who don’t remember that hire correctly. i guess we’ll chalk it up to the mandela effect.
  11. nah, he was a big time surprise hire. TTU had just extended him and made him the fourth highest paid coach in basketball. everyone thought we’d missed our window. we’d never dropped money on a coach like we did on beard. i was genuinely shocked we got him after his extension at TTU. remember, their fans were completely apoplectic because they too thought that he’d been locked down with that extension.
  12. when told he was nominated for National Defensive Player of the Year, Jahmai Mashack replied, “no im not! what are you even talking about???”
  13. insane amount of guys who shoot 90+% from the like taking huge foul shots in this tourney.
  14. hate the call to have the ball in tonje’s hands to start the play. he needs to be off the ball, with a play designed to get him a wide open drive or a catch-and-shoot. really really hate that play design.
  15. pulling extra hard now. 🤘🏼
  16. oh wow. we’ve got a ballgame.
  17. yeah i’ve got the triple box on, hoping wisky can pull off a miracle.
