Ehh, I'm having fun. Trying to make the most out of a shitty situation. If ya can't laugh at this, then you're going to go crazy.

I like to internalize my rage until it boils over and I start killing puppies

It works for me

I wasn't as furious during this game as I was in some of the other games. It's just funny now.

I still haven't come over to the anger level I used to exhibit twice a week during the tail end of the Gottfried era.

I was pretty pissed the last 90 seconds tonight, though.

I kept saying, "My God, How Bad Is LSU". That's fun to think about

I'm extremely concerned going forward that this is 2 years in a row where when we've gotten a little good press or positivity, we immediately choked it away to subpar teams.


I understand the frustration of being so close to the tournament and just missing out, but it's also the second straight year we've destroyed the media preseason expectation. Hell the commentator tonight mentioned Avery as an SEC CotY candidate after Mike White. Did I think we would be a little better than we are? Yes, a little. Did I think a freshman not known as a scorer would be our far and away best scorer? Not a chance. What we've done with this roster is respectable. Help is on the way, boys.

Yea, I'm not frustrated right now. I'm not totally sold that we are about to be a consistent top 25 program, but I think our coaching staff adequate and we should clearly be way more talented next year.

Would have been nice to sneak a few more games last year or this one and make the tournament, but falling short of that isn't a failure. Crawling back into contention and then collapsing is pretty tough, but objectively looking at it makes it a bit easier.

I love me some Chappelle, but the only thing curing this pain is Justin Thomas going crazy and winning the Honda Classic, and watching the latest Taboo episode.

Dont have anybody good enough to be a leader on this team,maybe Key one day,hence this horror show.They get lost when things dont go their way. Norris and Corbin 44 points at Georgia per radio, today 0. This doesnt even happen in the twilight zone.

I'm not sure, but it looks like they are talking to a less red Butch Jones

I didn't watch the last episode because I had 3 test this week. But man when his ship blew up, my jaw dropped in shock. Hope this latest episode is good.

I bet we win the next two somehow get our hopes up then lose to UT.

They'll find the most heartbreaking way to lose. Win the next 3 and have a chance to seal our NCAA tourney spot with a win in the first round of the SEC tourney against Miss State........but we lose by 15 and end up a 1 seed in the NIT

Just kinda felt this one coming. I ain't even mad. Tourney teams don't lose to Texas and Clemson and get swept by Auburn. We are getting the most bang for our buck you can out of this roster. Currently, we are asking role players to step up and be leaders and go-to guys. That's not going to happen regularly if ever. I'll be surprised if we win at aTm and 2-2 is very likely now. We just aren't there yet. It's frustrating I know.
