It's maddening to think how hard Pearl and Tennessee basketball have fallen from last March, and how little is at the heart of all of this. Why why why do people not understand that it's never the crime, it's the coverup?

Good point.

On a side note, the new Nixon movie Ron Howard directed was good dont know if you saw it yet.

I am a huge loyal UT fan. I hate to see Bruce Pearl leave UT. I'm a big fan. He has brought the men's basketball team a long way. I can't remember when the men's basketball program has done so well, unless it was back in the days of Ray Mears.
The football program has declined since Fulmer has left. I keep wondering when we'll have a top 15 or even top 10 team again in football. I just hope that when a coach for the men's basketball team is picked that the tradition will be as good as BP has made it. GO VOLS!

I must say I am pretty torn by this news, because I really really loved Pearl at one time, but at the same time I can't stand hearing or feeling when our team goes deep in the next few years that " oh, they must have cheated somehow to get there." I like a team that plays with integrity and its melancholy seeing him go because he did so much to get me interested in UT basketball, but hopefully he is just the man who gets it started heading in a positive direction! I hope we can get Butler's coach, but I know he is probably entrenched at his current job.

But on to the OP, I am sad for the program as well. Sad for the players as well. This really does take any (and there wasn't much) steam out of the tournament for them. At least they can have the us against the world mentality, I guess.

Ironic that basketball had its best years following our darkest hours in football (2005 & 2008). I will always be grateful for that.

I hate that Pearl got himself into this mess. He sure did bring us some great years for basketball.

Let me clarify. I dont feel sorry for BP bc he is getting fired. He screwed up and then only made it worse with the cover up. I am sad for him bc I think that he wants to be UT's coach, but he knows that it was his mistakes that are going to cost him that.

I don't understand how you can be "sad" for a guy that brought this on himself.

You should be pissed he put the program, the players and himself in this situation.

I am not defending Pearl here. I am saying that I think you missed the point of his thread. There was more to it than full on support of Pearl. Not even close to defending Pearl on this one.

You really think a coach that's been around for five or six years can make a tradition? Come on.

No you suck...

Joe - Wow, Pretty good Jim Morrison impersonation there.
Rod - Yeah, I hope those guys have a good sense of humor and don't take us to court.
Joe - Uh, what's the court?
Rod - Never mind that,
Joe - Oh, you mean like the People's Court?
Rod - Well, that's another story; the important thing here is you gotta ask me how I'm gonna get down to the shore.
Joe - Uh, how you gonna get down to the shore?
Rod - Funny you should ask, I've got a car now.
Joe - Oh wow, how'd you get a car?
Rod - Oh my parents drove it up here from the Bahamas.
Joe - You're kidding!
Rod - I must be, the Bahamas are islands, okay, the important thing now, is that you ask me what kind of car I have.
Joe - Uh, what kinda car do ya' got?
Rod - I've got a *****IN CAMARO!

*****IN CAMARO, *****IN CAMARO
I ran over my neighbors
*****IN CAMARAO, *****IN CAMARO
Now it's in all the papers.
My folks bought me a *****IN CAMARO with no insurance to match;
So if you happen to run me down, please don't leave a scratch.
I ran over some old lady one night at the county fair;
And I didn't get arrested, because my dad's the mayor.
*****IN CAMARO, *****IN CAMARO
Doughnuts on your lawn
*****IN CAMARO, *****IN CAMARO
Tony Orlando and Dawn
When I drive past the kids, they all spit and cuss,
Because I've got a *****IN CAMARO and they have to ride the bus.
So you'd better get out of my way, when I run through your yard;
Because I've got a *****IN CAMARO;
And an Exxon credit card.
*****IN CAMARO, *****IN CAMARO
Hey, man where ya headed?
*****IN CAMARO, *****IN CAMARO
I drive on unleaded.
