I've been hearing from a lot of SEC friends about football...i guess that's how you know UK just had a good year and almost all the SEC schools were shit

why you trying to piss me off?

the post didn't piss me off at all. the whole bringing in racist, retarded stuff kinda does.

just to add to this, i certainly don't blame Zo for leaving. While I wasn't too pleased with some of the team's results during the season, he didn't deserve some of the shit he got. A lot of Tennessee fans got too spoiled during the Pearl days it seems. Not to mention losing Stokes, Maymon, and Mcrae. I think Tennessee will be a bit better than some people think next year, nothing like this year though.

i just meant that you were the only UT fan that posts semi-regularly in here...and you flipped out on me when I mixed up Georgia st and Ga Southern

and again I was referring to the racist/retarded members of your fan base similar to any other fan base, especially in the south

gotcha. i was just giving you a hard time with the ga state/ga southern mixup. we hate ga state.

regarding the racist/retarded stuff, i just find it annoying when people bring it up. regardless of who it is, i get annoyed when people just refer to the south as full of a bunch of retard, racist, hillbilly hicks and shit. even if it is somewhat true, they exist everywhere, and make the vast minority of people in the south. you weren't necessarily doing that, but on first look, it seemed that way.

[whygohome?]

yeah believe me I hate that too. but i've read that some people have sent racist letters or emails and stuff to him and they've definitely posted stuff online so that's where that came from. just relevant to the current news at UT, not just randomly deciding to group all of you as racists which as people have already pointed out, a UK fan has no leg to stand on there.

and as soon as i say this, i just read that the guy pulled a 180 and is now committed to California to be with Zo. well that effing blows

Rush is awesome. O'Reilly is a terrible.

back to basketball.

Please stay Jabari

I have a feeling he's staying.

I also have a feeling that Turner is going to Texas.

I hope so.

I still think it's SMU for no other reason than he has the opportunity to be [i]the[/] big man there. And it's in his backyard.

Stop being selfish!!!



(selfishly hopes he goes to the Magic)

[Rodey]

Jabari can do good in the world if he comes back. Returning would clothe many children in third-world countries with 40-0 t-shirts.

[whygohome?]

Damn I guess Jared got banned again?

I hope it wasn't for him and lockman in the "which post season is better" thread, they've been doing that for years. Maybe jake just remembered he called him a cunt

[seekupig]

Jabari not announcing now. Interesting.

I don't like it. I think it means he's gone. I guess you could spin it either way, but the team banquet was tonight and my line of thought is that he didn't want to take away from that.

[thebridge15]

I had heard Thursday regardless.

I hope he sets a time, but no one ever does that

Yeah I saw that he'll "decide" tonight but announce it tomorrow.

[whygohome?]

Word on the street is the Harrisons are coming back, but now Johnson may be leaving. This is the same guy who said WCS was coming back hours before he announced so we'll see

There's also the "everyone is coming back to dominate and win a title" rumor but that is tossed around every season.

[seekupig]

Jabari to the NBA

[thebridge15]

he did a whole thing for Sports Illustrated

Which environment -- college or the NBA -- offers me the best opportunity to grow as a basketball player?

Which environment -- college or the NBA -- offers me the best opportunity to grow and develop off the court?

The answer to both questions is undeniably the NBA.

smart man

it was the right move, he's a guaranteed top 5 pick. now let's hope the harrisons make the right move as well and come back. they are easily the difference at this point between a good team and a great team and neither of them are guaranteed 1st rounders right now.

[Lee3691]

Did Randle announce yet?

[dmbbearcat]

Hard to not like Jabari. Seems like a thoughtful, intelligent kid. Best of luck to him.

[thebridge15]

We had this whole debate in here and Jabari comes in and fits in perfectly on one side of it.

[Rodey]

Great. I guess this means I should cancel the preorder on my 40-0 shirt.

[dmbbearcat]

0-40 much more likely

[Rodey]

Without Jabari or Hood, I actually don't see Duke being a legit title contender.

[dmbbearcat]

That freshman class is pretty damn good + Sulaimon and Cook and Jefferson. They'll be improved from this past season.

[Rodey]

The non-post scoring load falls heavily on Sulaimon and that makes me very uncomfortable.
