Many years ago, hundreds of settlers were cast out of polite society simply for being awful to look at. These settlers were obese, had awful dental hygiene, and a complete inability to keep the crack of their arse concealed without the use of overalls.

First they were driven to northern Georgia and Chattanooga, but the children were still scared of these Hills Have Eyes looking arse motherfrickers. So brave men from Alabama, armed with decorative swords we’d bought from the Collinsville Trade Day, drove them further into the mountains of East Tennessee and told them to never return.

These terrible looking invalids eventually established an economy based on funnel cakes and caricature drawings. A vacation destination was founded nearby for people too poor to go anywhere decent. They established a “university” along the water hoping people would blame the smell on the Tennessee River


Anyway, we have the extreme displeasure of playing these rat bastards in basketball today. Nate Ament looks like a stretched out cabbage patch kid. Peyton Manning got sued TWICE for sexual harassment and Archie had to pay to make it go away. You elected a WWE wrestler as mayor. Fulmer looks like someone stuffed Costco industrial sized sausage gravy into an orange starter jacket.


To hell with you Tennessee. Bitch asses.

Great song about getting the hell out of Tennessee as quickly as possible. And one of my favorite lines in all of music.

“Stranger in my mirror. Lines around my eyes. String around my finger but I don’t remember why”.

We got this. Good vibes only. It’s close enough to March that Rick Barnes has to start practicing his annual choking routine

I won't tolerate Costco slander. Kirkland Signature is too good for Fatlock. If there's a cheaper store brand than Great Value, he's that.

Unfortunately it’s “Regular Season Rick,” so the early part of March might still be choke free. Glad we have Allen to guard Ament this time, though.

Same. We’re better than this team. And we have a better coach. Basketball doesn’t always play out the way it should but I believe we have better players than them.

If the refs call a decent game and we shoot a reasonable % from 3, we can win this. Have to keep them off the offensive glass as much as possible.

I really want to win this one. I also really want to avoid Dykes, Shows and Adams today.

Tennessee is going to get away with doing Tennessee things. Barnes has done a good job conditioning the refs to his style of play. Absolutely have to be relentless on the boards today and for some reason I feel like we will be. Not sure why, I just kind of like this spot.

They don’t want to argue too much with Barnes because he’s looking more like the Crypt Keeper every day and it’s a bit frightening

I definitely did not have a picture of the “Crypt Keeper” on my gameday thread bingo card.

Sandkhan - you keep us on our toes! (If someone has nightmares about Rick Barnes tonight, we know who to blame )

UConn in a battle at home against a desperate Seton Hall team.

Based on rebounding rates alone (according to Gemini), we want ISU to get the last 1 seed and we want to be in their bracket.

ETA:
UConn is 5th
FL is 16th (really high on O-boards though)
ISU is 23rd

Note: if FL is the last 1 seed, it will immediately put us in either Duke, AZ, or Mich’s bracket. Need FL to be a 2 seed and sent to one of those 3 brackets, which probably means we need UK to beat them in Rupp unless Arky pulls an upset.

Barnes was on Jim Rome the other day and discussing his early days in basketball as an assistant and what kind of shaped his basketball processes. I didn't realize he was at Alabama for a year under Wimp and he brought Wimp up on a few occasions when he was mentioning influences. It's interesting in hindsight that they both like a very controlled pace and aggressive defense. They both subscribe to the idea if they can keep you under 70 they should win. They both have had juggernaut teams that seemed to fall short in the NCAA tournament but won everything else.
