Hoss when it comes to beating Tennessee in ANYTHING there are no other topics of discussion
Then why are you wasting time starting topics about types of topics rather than Tennessee? Let’s hear your pre-game breakdown, Hoss!!!

For future reference, how can we get in contact with you to get approval for future threads?

When u get to the sweet sixteen, any game could be your last, or even sooner with Cow at the helm. Just enjoy without letting it destroy you if we don’t play well. I’m liking our position and our chances as good as anybody’s. As a side note, know that we will be tough for years now.

Enjoy the ride people.
I’ll bet UT dreads us more than we dread them.

Sorry, but I'm gonna agree with this thread, kinda. We've gotten kinda obsessed with looking ahead vs enjoying the moment, IMO. I get a lot of that is filing some air time, but the Cal era recruiting wars seems to have made some of us obsessed. There's over 1000 names out there, and I don't have the desire to dissect the games of 30 of dudes. I trust Pope will get the guys he needs. I'm all for people enjoying their time and having fun with it. I just hope people don't get all negative when Pope doesn't get their guy. Discus away, but trust Pope, and remember good teams have depth and glue guys too.

I think our problem is we still think it's Blueblood us against the rest of the SEC peasants... that's not the case anymore and may never be.

Popes mantra is " be present where your feet are".

Please take your misplaced hatred elsewhere.

Elsewhere being duke. We each have finite hatred to give, don't waste it on tennessee. Tennessee may be jerks (Scott?) but Duke is Dr. Evil.

Here's the thing. This is maybe the biggest game in Tennessee's history. A chance to get to their 3rd elite eight ever with a win over Kentucky. While we don't want to lose to UT, this is just another sweet 16 game for an ELITE program in the Cats storied history with our eyes on a bigger prize then beating a wannabe program. Win or lose Tennessee will never be anything close to Kentucky no matter what they think in their delusional minds.

We don't play Duke every year...we do Tennessee... they are our evil enemy...so is Alabama...so is Auburn...so is Florida. Get this through your thick skull...the so called days of the Blueblood are over...it's not coming back...it's a new age. Nobody cares about that anymore. Past is past... this is the present...I don't give a flying flip about beating Duke, NC, or Kansas anymore...my epic game is Tennessee

I might have a thick skull because of my endless hatred for Duke that needs to be contained. I highly encourage you not to give up on that hatred. Watch duke get special rules in the NIL era as well. It will piss you off

What more can be discussed about the upcoming game? We are professional fans, no need to get too high or low. Nothing we discuss will change anything that happens in the game. Go Cats!
This. We know what we got to do to win.
Shoot lights out and make them take tough 3's and 2's. We do that, we win. We don't, we lose.
Not much more to discuss.

Always blue blood in name but the substance and affect of that are surely not what it used to be. Mainly because players today don’t care as much about the tradition part of it. Still care some but it’s not to the extent you can draw a huge advantage just from that
