to VolDad, Big Papa Vol, and all the other Bruce Pearl detractors.

After forcing myself to watch that pathetic excuse of a basketball product get completely taken apart by an average, at best, USC team I have seen the error in my ways.

Pearl and his team must have never heard of the concept of 'boxing out'. Also, I am completely miffed if they call that defense, USC's point guard could drive unimpeded to the basket all game.

I won't even mention the offense it was that terrible.

Once again sorry for not seeing the obvious.

I'm setting up some counseling sessions, and maybe a "Hug Booth" over in the lounge area.

When Billy Clyde Gillispie outcoaches Pearl 4 times, you know he ain't all that.

When pearl was outcoached by half the teams in the SEC last year and then by Kevin O'Neill, you know he ain't all that.

I agree. Kentucky fans are just ignorant. They traded a good coach in Tubby Smith, for Billy, who never really had enough time, to someone that's going to get them buried in violations. I'm actually rooting for Kentucky to win and get to 2,000 before UNC does because when they actually do it, celebrate it, and bash it in UNC's face....Here comes the vacated wins and drops them under 2,000 again hahaha!

Emotional crises like these call for desperate measures...As in a new coach. One who actually can coach.

I just can't fathom how a coach who has been to multiple NCAA tournaments can't figure out that the teams that win by relying on the three come along just slightly more often than a total solar eclipse. USC is not a great team by any stretch, but they played fundamentally sound half-court basketball on offense and defense both, which pretty much is a commonality among elite eight teams every year, not to mention final four. Why can't we do that? Just for a change of pace to see what it's like? It's just exasperating.

I honestly would like to see them, it is quite a legend but I cannot find it anywhere unless you are referring to the boat pics where he does not look drunk at all.

So on a scale from Eddie Gran to Lance Thompson where would he rank on drinking? Majors level? Pitino level? Sutton level?

Yeesh...coaching seems hard on the liver. Lots of hoosier dads out there it appears.

Yeah, there out there. Where, I couldn't tell ya. I have one here.

I can't prove it, but I think it could suffice.......

Kentucky fans know basketball. Tubby was a class act but it was time to make a change when the change was made. The records point that out. Billy Clyde was a mistake from the jump. Mitch Barnhart was to blame for that. Billy Clyde is knowledgable, but he's a butthole. He talked his way out of town. If anyone thinks they can come to Kentucky and "just coach", they don't understand what it means to be the head basketball coach at Kentucky. It's a privelage that BCG pissed away and he knows it. But again, this ain't on BCG. He is who he is. Barnhart is the one who screwed up. He hit a homerun with Calipari. Coach Cal will have a couple NCAA championships or more at Kentucky. He's never had the resources he has now. He'll be fine and he'll rule the SEC from day one.

95% of vol fans are completely satisfied with CBP's performance so far. Why shouldn't they be?

This portion of the fanbase will be the ones deciding when Pearl goes.

I would probably give it an 80/20 split.

No. People buying tickets decide.
