I've been thinking (scary I know) about when the Longhorns become card-carrying members of the SEC, how should we refer to them ?? What I mean by this is like The Wildcats are UK, Miss State is abbreviated MSU, Louisiana State is LSU, etc. We already have South Carolina and most call them USCjr so I was thinking Texas - who has a much better tradition and class (relatively speaking) - is the real UT. What do you think we should refer to the Vols as ?? I mean aside from convicts and some other terms I can't use (JR's orders on name calling), I was thinking UTjr.

Y'all give your best, or worst, suggestions !!

I know nothing about his past. Seems like he would be a well known European future star if he’s as good as he looked today. Does his background project him to be so good ?

I'll take that all day.

Cal sits him in middle of him starting to going off and of course he returns his supposedly 5 star Edwards who is horrible and no one can rightfully defend him, he is just bad

I didn't get to watch the game but I checked the score and noticed only 13 attempted threes. Seems really low. Did the team just try to force it down low or what?

1. Loss to UNCW
2. Loss to A&M
3. Loss to South Carolina

Those are games you do not lose, it just worries me because elite teams do not lose those 3 games especially the UNCW game.

Now can this team still make a run? Of course. But they will rely heavily on their offensive play because defense is non existent. Do you have faith this team can stay hot for 6 games straight in March? I just don’t know, hopefully it changes before the tournament but I won’t get my hopes up.

The players played hard but were put in terrible positions tonight.

Completely outmatched and embarrassed on the sidelines.

Offense but can't stop anyone, then lose if your cold.

Isn't this what some of you always wanted?

Lost last 4 of 7 in basketball and last 2 in football

Lassaaassathetic.

Counting their Money???

……..maybe you should press to raise the tempo?

Where are the cal pumpers?

SMDH COACHING MALPRACTICE

So who on the road in the SEC will we beat? Will we win more than 3 road games all year? This is another year like the Randle team that lost basically every road game in the SEC.

nm

….. that Georgia killed us on multiple times.

And DANE FREAKING BRADSHAW saw it coming…..

…..and Cal did not.

COACHING MALPRACTICE

Your choice as to what it is. But I'll probably contribute to this one.

at least until they get better on defense. It rhymes with bass eating.

SCjr schooled us on pick and roll defense and got what they wanted in the other end. Our guards coughed it up, and got pushed back, the whole game They manhandled us from start to finish. We should press that bunch from the time they walk in the gym if we see them again. Our out of bounds defense is the worst I have ever seen. We got nothing on offense.

I would say Bruce Pearl, but I don’t think we could get him.

Maybe Chris Beard?

Sports Illustrated’s entire staff told they are getting laid off

Lottery or Mid-first round (2024)

Big Z
Dilly
Reed

Late first round or early second (2024)

DJ
Edwards
Bradshaw
Reeves

Potential first round (2025)

Thiero (with more playing time and no injury he is possibly drafted in 2024)
Ugonna

And we have the one coach whose ego, stubbornness, antiquated mindset, and inability or refusal to change lineups and strategies will turn this collection of players into a Sweet 16 team at best.

Darn inflation....

This loss does suck don’t get me wrong, just hoping it was just one of those nights for Kentucky. Let’s see how they respond Saturday in another tough environment and go from there.

They have to understand a game like this cannot happen again especially in the tournament, just want to see how they respond after a blowout

All of you “Calipari hangers on” starting to see the 600# gorilla in the room yet?

Lottery Ball substitutions, icing the hot shooters, taking out the best players for the moment, and on and on and on…
Denial is the first step to recovery…

We just didn’t come close to matching their intensity. They were stoked ……we we’re …..”we’re good “
