My peeps are gonna be pissed about this whole ordeal. They'll probably take the high road and not attend games in true Southern-style ambivalence. This means good tickets just waiting for us! :rock:

Sounds good to me. I can deal with first class seats for my first game at TBA

Alden's are cut goofily. I'm not going to waste time trying on four different shoes to find the right size for a given style.

Nah. Go to the shell cordovans and you'll like. Guess it's a foot / last match, but they work for me. Ferragamo and Mezlan run narrow. Mezlan is actually a Johnston Murphy brand now. JM will knock out a decent casual shoe.

None taken, Big Papa Eyeore. I wouldn't be here tonight if I didn't expect some serious digs. I'm prepared... :rock:

I've even gone back to the laptop...

It gets harder and harder to be a Tennessee Vol on a daily basis. Perhaps the university will get their act together, get a decent president, and put Mikey Mike in his place.

Woe is us :(

Post of the day? Really?

Hmmm ... I was thinking it takes one to know one.

Get rid of Pearl and hire Calipari. He always makes the final four.

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 started reading this post, thinking, "Reasonably well written. Makes several good point."

Then ... I got to number 7. Wow.

Just what did they believe? That Bruce is a gifted motivator? That he manages to generate more silk purses than just about any coach I've come across? That he's put UT men's basketball on the national map for pretty much the first time?

Boy, howdy, I'd hate to be them! How can they stand viewing life through such orange-colored glasses?!

Yeah, yeah, I know. #7 was actually about the vast assemblage of optimistic dilettantes populating the Big Orange basketball world and your derision of this league of short-bus riders because YOU are a true sporting sophisticate. After all, in YOUR castle in the sky, YOU consort with such Big East Algonquin Roundtable intellectuals as Huggy-Bear. So, obviously, YOU operate on a much higher plane than the wretched refuse of UT fans who simply love their school, love their coaches, and root for their players both on and off the field/court.

But, fear not, oh naive tenderfoots. Diogenes here is gonna lead us all to the Promised Land! And, perhaps, one day we will become as enlightened as he is, so we'll no longer have to suffer his slings and arrows. Aren't you already starting to tingle at the thought? How can we po chillins ever thank you, Massa, for delivering us from our ignorance?

Finally, in regard to the alleged festival of I-told-you-sos forthcoming from the various paragons of Big East virtue, like J. Calhoun, well, all I can say is there's a reason they call a flatulent emission of a vast amount of hot air a nor'easter.

John Mitchell would be present as Nixon's eyes and ears at all 40 Committee meetings when they were chaired by Kissinger. This is heavy during the Chile and Vietnam end game shenanigans. Later, regarding Mitchell's role in Watergate, an official said, "He heard all that wild talk in the 40 Committee, and didn't realize it was over his head....."

An unfortunate asterisk now clouds all of his accomplishments. It's bad for UT. Not that I want a cover-up in the least, and I want the sports' programs to be clean, but haven't these revelations come about because of Kiffin bringing the NCAA here?

On a positive: Fulmer will be AD sooner rather than later.

How is Kiffin responsible for an investigation into the basketball team that began in April '09? Can't wait to see the "data" on that.
