Not me personally. I don't have a wife and I've got girlfriend. And why you taking a passive aggressive shot at me. Why? Just say we're cool and we're good like we've since 2013.
Not you personally? I’m not following. I’ll just say, any woman that’s in my avatar is my wife. My one and only. Have no desire to play anyone.

Uhhh, we’ve sucked for all 4 of his years here is #1. Haven’t even sniffed the NCAA tournament.

2) He admitted he wouldn’t recruit from day 1. He’s amended that and is making a minimal effort now but probably too little too late.

3) he’s blocking our fans on Twitter and has been from day 1. As of Sunday, he began the process of unblocking Vandy fans. This is relatively small but fans talk and he’s probably done it to 100 or more diehard VU fans including the vandysports.com rivals owner so that stirred a hornets nest.

Mainly lack of winning and lack of recruiting though. The dude can coach but you can’t suck for 4 years and get away with it.
So what you're saying is, Vandy fans have been vocal on social media about the status of the program, mainly about the losing, is that right?

Why don't we just cram in to OT every single time and get their only two bigs in quick foul trouble? Over with if they can't physically guard him when they get into foul trouble. Generally I don't like being one dimensional and like everybody involved and getting everyone going early. But with the situation of us needing to win every game now not a time to mess around much in any game.
Because Oscar is usually double and triple teamed, it's not so easy to feed him the ball when there are no passing lanes.

We turn the ball over an alarming amount of times trying to force the ball into Oscar.

You have to make outside shots, do that and they have to stop doubling Oscar.

That drives me CRAZY! It’s unbelievable! Everyone in the building knew where the ball was going.

So, Jeff, how do you feel about tonight? I don’t know much about Vandy. I know we always have trouble playing down there.

Just saying every trip down the court go to OT first and see if he can make a move to draw a foul. If he can't, take it out and work the ball for the next best shot available. Swinging the passes around may open him up the second time.

While I agree, they just don’t hardly give any fouls to Oscar. That dude gets absolutely beat to death. I mean, it’s much worse than the Randle treatment. That’s saying something. Oscar needs to try to dunk everything near the bucket!

I think UK wins this one by 8 or so. Vandy is too banged up.

But Vandy always has a way of making it closer than it should be, regardlesss of their coach.

One if these games though, our shooters are going to catch fire, it could be this game. Never know.

It was like that for Cuz and Towns too.

Well, one thing is for sure. That is CJ and Wallace are most definitely due. Law of averages says they go off and soon. They’ve shot terrible of late.

Get a scene going early to force the refs to call it close. Don't allow them to be the aggressors, they are over matched physically and only have a ref or two to help them overcome that. And that ref or two will at that place so force them to call the game closer than they would like. We have the size and depth they don't.

@michaeluk26 of course we are cool, man. I try to be cool with everyone on here. I just felt offended. Didn’t know what you were trying to imply.
I have no idea. But you said your piece and we good. Thanks buddy. I truly would never insult someone's wife. Just saying she's beautiful is all. Learned something new today. Thanks for writing that. I will do what I said. Glad we're good. You're one I consider a very funny and you know you're basketball IQ is high.

No doubt Vanda has to muck it up and hit some threes to have a shot. But they can do both of those.

Our key is simple, play hard and make open shots. Hit FTs. We don't need heroes tonight, just execute our stuff.
