Oh please...it was pretty obvious last night that he was probably going to be right. His story seemed consistent, and with the banquet coming up tonight everything seemed to fit. I said it in the thread last night that I had a feeling he was right...it just seemed to add up, unfortunately. I just wish he could have prepared me for Duke as well....both of these in one day is a hard blow to take. Talk about a serious downer after the upper of landing Hopson.

Personally, I can't stand some of the things you write. I could care less about reading anything you report. I'll give you credit though, you're one of the more reliable sources out there at this stuff, I think you've earned your right to gloat all you want on here.

Jeesh, man...I'M NOT GLOATING. I have no intentions of gloating. I've been doing this for over a decade...I said it before, sources get lied to on purpose. It's how it works. I just happened to have the right insight on this story and was just passing it on.

Gloating is for people who guess and get it right. I just don't want to have to hear how "bad" I acted while defending myself...haha

In your defense I think your behavior is appropriate, you weren't the only one that was acting out of line on the Ramar Smith thread. I give you props for getting it right

This blows. I thought it might be true about Ramar, and I can't honestly say that this surprises me.

Look, I'm not here to gloat.....I came here to give you information...I was attacked, so I played back.

Now...I'm not going to apologize for defending myself and i'm sorry if MY LINE is different from YOUR LINE. When I'm being flamed, don't complain about my response.

So, water under the bridge. I'm not interested in hearing "how you acted" when I would have never acted ANY way at all had people not started attacking me.

“I am disappointed to announce that neither Duke Crews nor Ramar Smith will be a part of the 2008-09 University of Tennessee basketball program,” Pearl said. “Both were provided every opportunity to succeed here but have not met our expectations. With both Ramar and Duke, we came to the conclusion that it was in their best interest to transfer to another institution in order to continue their academic and basketball careers.”

Duke was one of my favorite players on this team. I hated that he had to fight through so much this past year..and I hoped that he could find a solid place in the rotation in the coming years...I just always liked the way he played.

And that is my point. If you guys want to talk hoops, I'm all about it. I don't look to go flaming, but I also don't back away either.

I wish the Vol site had kept the reason for dismissal private......

I agree with you. I just liked Duke's toughness and ability to get in the right place at the right time. It's a shame.

This is so disappointing for these guys...and the University...and the fans. In a week where such an inspirational story is revealed about CLo, we have this deflating story come out. At least it came out on Friday night after the weekly news cycle...which I am guessing was the intent (apparently not the banquet...because I am guessing that hasn't happened yet).

Bud Mackey probably won't spend much, if any, time in jail.

There was a really good article on him in our local paper when we were hosting this national tournament by me. I'll try to find it online, it describes what he went through, and what he is going to have to deal with in the future.

I'm sure the articles are being written, but he's going to trial in a county I'm very familiar with. I also know the prosecuting attorney. The guys dealing with Mackey generally give a kid with no prior issues a decent chance to get right.....
