That is exactly what I thought. I would be ok with it as well as most posters on this board so why is Pearl's lack of integrity always an issue with you. He is a snake, but he is our snake baby.

Because he turns people in and then is responsible for doing the same.

It's not his lack of integrity, it's his abundance of hypocrisy. Keep up.

I can see your point. And yes I do keep up as I have read most all your arguments on here. Most posters think you are bashing Pearl with your sarcastic posts which is not the case. You are actually bashing the thought posters have that Pearl is what he portrays himself to be. I think you actually enjoy having Pearl as head coach due to the success we have had during his tenure.

I understand things happen and Bruce messed up. What I'm hot about is the fact he's always trying to portray himself to the media as the good guy and how he's building a program the "right" way. He will take shots at other programs for there findings and has even snitched people out. Now this happens making him look like an absolute hypocrite. What personality do you want Bruce? Good guy or bad? No middle.

You just love paraphrasing everything hat says, don't you?

Gary Parrish also thinks Coach Cal is the greatest coach ever and half his article are about Memphis/Kentucky.

If the school replaces Pearl, UT basketball(Men's) is most likely done.

Blah blah blah, more of this rubbish. The UT men's team was less than a decade removed from national relevance with a complete idiot at the helm before Pearl got here. Some of you people either have selective memories or you simply pay no damn attention.

Emain, national relevance?

The Sweet 16 team had a total of zero guys who have made serious money playing in the NBA. We choked hard against UNC. The team was a bunch of guys who cared so much about success that they smoked weed regularly and spent more time playing Goldeneye and eating pizza at midnight than they did taking care of their bodies and trying to win a national championship. Jerry Green was openly mocked by his players towards the end, he had lost control completely.

I was there...we beat some teams and I had fun in that era, but we were not considered nationally relevant by many. We stormed the court when we beat a ranked Arkansas team because it was such a surprise...

Sweet Sixteen? Check
Airtime on ESPN? Check
Top ten ranking? Check
SEC Championship? Check

Also why are you still in college classes?

I hope this isn't some kind of shot, but if you must know it is because I took some time off to travel with my friend's band initially and then decided to take a crack at making my own way. When I felt mature enough to actually care about earning a degree, rather than chasing tail and drinking myself into a stupor, I went back to school. It worked out, my GPA is stellar.

The last time Tennessee won an SEC Tournament was in 1979. The Vols may have won the SEC East in the regular season, but it is the tournament that counts.

Not a shot at all.

Sometimes I wish I had taken some time off and taken the recording contract my band was offered, would have been a blast.

Now I feel too busy to ever get an MBA. I should have done the dual degree program at UVA.

What are you studying? Your class sounded interesting to me when you described it, but it also sounded like the kind of humanities stuff that better be leading to law school or a PHD unless you do not mind being poor.

Actually no. The official SEC champion is the regular season champ. The men's team did it in 2000.

Can't forget to mention in this thread, Gary Parrish is a complete toolbag...He is one of the smarmiest douches to ever put pen to paper and he has been a UT basher for years.

Communication Studies and Political Science. I am also doing some academic work on the side that takes a bit from both disciplines. As for being poor, I have some good leads and also some connections I have built through the years, so finding a decent job after I graduate isn't much of a concern. There is also a business idea being tossed around amongst a few of my buddies and me. However, I am also exploring the graduate school option and a career in academics.

The class I was talking about was likely Classical Political Theory, unless I sneaked something from my Political Violence and Terrorism class into a politics forum discussion. Both are very interesting and engaging classes.

When I was looking at Grad schools, UVA Law and Darden were both top 5 programs. That's no admittance shoo in. JD MBA out of there is very respected.

We used to hire plenty of humanities types as Corp finance analysts at our shops. If they had the horsepower and passed the core crap respectably at a good school, they were just fine. We paid plenty to boot.

My issue right now is my school, I am glad I know people because that MTSU degree isn't going to jump out at folks in the present job market. Damn me for slacking through high school.

I felt I could not afford to go there. They offered me $0.00

I had a full ride and felt I could not make up for it. Might have been a dumb decision. I certainly have enjoyed business more than I thought I would at the time as a math phobic English lit grad.
