Barnes is stealing his paycheck. No excuse for a lazy team. That is all coaching. BBBut we lost all that talent. So do other teams, but they seem to handle it okay. I'm not saying Barnes is a bad coach. But he knew what he was losing last year. He should have recruited better a couple of years before. I know. Wait till next year. I can't look past Barnes salary. He is making Coach K money. I expect better. If you don't then, I don't know what to say. I am no Pearl apologist by any means, but his teams have always played with more intensity than any Barnes team I have seen. Which sucks for us UT fans. Look at Auburn's game last night vs ours.
Another predictable knee jerk reaction from you. Here's some perspective, it's ONE GAME. Any team can have a bad night. UK almost lost to Vandy last night IN RUPP. (that would have been epic!, but I digress).
Honestly, you remind me of a guy at work that told me, and no, I am not making this up, that during the Soviet era, he used to not be able to sleep at night because he was afraid the USSR would nuke us. He actually lost sleep over that when he was a teenager! I can't even imagine that. I may have had some mild anxiety when there was a crisis, like I remember in 1980 the Norks (North Koreans) did something typically stupid and we went to Defcon 2, which is one level below actual nuclear war, and yeah, maybe a bit of anxiety but I slept like a baby.
But anyway, you remind me of him. One bad night and OMG!!!! The Sky is Falling!!!! Let's curl up into the fetal position, suck our thumbs, and cry like gigantic babies!!!! The world is coming to an end!!!! it's awful, all so very awful!!!!!
Are you a man, or a 90 year old woman? Or maybe a 3 year old girl that wets her pants every time she gets scared? Do you still pee the bed?
SERIOUSLY....WHAT. THE. fizzle. ISYOURPROBLEM!!!!
