Look, Pearl's an idiot for lying. We all know that and he deserves to be penalized. But it shouldn't take away from his accomplishments as a UT basketball coach. The way some of you are tossing him aside like trash is appalling.

This.

This Pearl bashing is disgusting. Hatvol (aka Small Mike on the radio) is disgusting.

We've got a football game to worry about.

V,B!!!!

No, I was mocking you for jumping on hat's stones every chance you get.

He's right about this, so I agree with him.

Wow. Groupie? Jumping on his stones? Look, I'm gonna do my best to talk to you like an adult, even though you haven't given me much reason to. I've been on here quite a while, and I disagree with Hat as much as the next guy. I was trying to warn posters like you from jumping into a losing jabfest with Hat before you even read his post just so you can feel special being his latest victim. It's a message board. Say whatever you want, but I've have about as much affinity towards Hat as you've shown you have towards unfounded nonsense.

If Hamilton survives this, Bill Clinton will seem mortal in comparison.

It helps Hamilton a lot that there's not really anybody in the UT system with the stature to fire him on his own. You'd basically have to have a Board of Trustees meeting to make it happen.

Anyone who wonders how important having a strong, competent university president is to each and every aspect of a school's operation needs only look at the havoc the lack of one is wreaking across the board in Knoxville.

This won't result in pearl leaving, this might actually be the thing that keeps him around a for a few more years. looking on the bright side . . . or the not so bright side depending on your pov

No, but even the slightest subsequent transgression should be the end for him.

Hat.. I know this is not important to you.... but I agree with you, and that is important to me cause i thought I never would :crazy:

And I have little to no hope that they will find a decent one this time around either.

1. Life generally gives you exactly what you deserve. Act like some paragon of virtue while lying to your governing body and you end up giving a Swaggartesque mea culpa for the whole world to see.
2. I wonder who was monitoring Steve Forbes' phone calls and texts? They failed as miserably as his proposed internet monitor.
3. I'm amazed that so many people never learned the lesson of Watergate. It's not the crime, it's the coverup that gets you.
4. This is what happens when you have incompetent yes men instead of solid old pros as assistants. Nobody on that staff has the resume or the guts to say "Hey boss, this isn't a great idea."
5. Somewhere in Chicago, Jimmy Collins is having a good laugh. I'd say Deon Thomas is chuckling, too.
6. I'm not sure why UT thinks financial penalties will appease the 'AA. All those do is save the institution money.
7. I feel bad for the optimistic folks who naively believed in Pearl. I'm laughing at all the know nothings who claimed they were sure Pearl was pure as driven snow.
8. This will certainly be cause for celebration when the Big East coaches congregate in New York for Media Days. Lots of guys in that league get the satisfaction of having what they've always said about Pearl confirmed.
9. No real off campus recruiting for the better part of a year is a substantial penalty. I just don't see the 'AA deeming that to be enough.
10. Contrary to what most people probably think, I'm not happy about this. What's bad for Bruce Pearl is bad for UT.
I think you are being too kind. That said, # 10 just proves your true loyalty to UT for any doubters.
