The pearlites refuse to acknowledge how much trouble he almost got us into by turning a secondary violation into a major violation. The prefer to blame the university for "not backing him". All he had to do was tell the truth, but he decided not to. I liked Pearl up until that point. When he put my university at risk through sheer stupidity, that's when I stopped liking him. People like to say, "It was just a cookout!". If he had just been honest about that cookout instead of lying his ass off to the NCAA, he wouldn't have been fired and he wouldn't have received a show cause. It was a secondary violation and he blew it up into a major one. Such a dumbass. Pisses me off that so-called Tennessee fans still hang on his nuts.
