Really? When I see it, I always think it is a weak euphemism for clust...uh...for better words not appropriate for the forum.

You know that very few hate Pearl. You also just penned a ridiculous reply. Let the man read and he'll see that this was total trash.

Have you seen the MSU team upon which you're basing all of this UF love play. They look awful right now and UF still needed the refs to beat them. I'll hazard a guess: you didn't see even a second of that game?

I can't believe ESPN missed the opportunity to do a challenge series involving the teams on our nonconference schedule. Can you imagine the hype for a USC-Charlotte matchup? A Wyoming-DePaul game would probably shatter all previously established ratings records for the Worldwide Leader.

Just You? No sunshine band? I'm dissapointed! And you didn't slam his intelligence level either! Step it up or you may lose some of your followers!

I'm sure you were this talkative about our OOC schedule last year when we had the top ranked schedule. Oh, I forgot, that wouldn't have fit into your agenda.

Arbitrary standards for elite coaches? That's funny as hell.

Say something that idiotic, then pretend your standards for happiness (vs satisfaction as you so clearly stated) aren't meaningless in the college basketball realm and therefore arbitrary. That's a sweet effort to shift the argument and probably works on your fellow slurpers, but there aren't any fans outside (presumably objective and knowledgeable) our program who would do anything but laugh at you.

Oh, another Hat follower using his Great Leader's terminology. How cute!

Otherwise, your second paragraph makes no sense, just some (attempted) philosophical jibberish. I made a pretty clear statement as to why I was happy with the season thus far, which means it wasn't arbitrary. Try again, or, better yet, ask Hat what you should say.

I guess the other 5 posters over at Hoopsville must be at Pearl Worship service and unavailable to converse with their other member.

Oh, good call on that one. BPV is a hat follower.

You're the clown making up standards to support your guy. The college basketball world has generated its own set of standards. You've been forced to make your own to support your acceptance worldview, yet you're acting as if someone else making them up to beat down our coach. That's patently stupid.

Your time is better spent telling us all about personnel development, #1 rankings and average point production. That's where you reside. I'll stick with how the real world evaluates quality coaches, which has nothing to do with the list of crap that makes you happy.

Member I'll agree with, unless that makes me unoriginal. You know how using once used words is copycatting.

WTH does that have to do with anything? As a season ticket holder who lives 4 hours from TBA, I find our home schedule, aside from one game against Kansas, absolutely disgusting. I don't see any argument against that. Even the Nashville game this year is beneath attention.

I don't see how pointing that out is a criticism of Pearl or how it could possibly fit into any agenda, nor do I understand how holding out Charlotte as the one possible interesting matchup before Kansas and the conference could offend so many people.

Apparently, it only appears that way to the mental midgets of the board.

While we are talking about Bruce as a coach, I hate his substitution packages. They are the worst I've ever seen.

Thanks for being here to save us all Unimane. I don't know how this board would function without your anti-hat/BPV agenda.

You are slipping BPV. I'm looking for a college upper-grad level word in your above post and can't say I see one.....

I wonder how the Pearlophiles are dealing with Griff's obviously anti semitic blog claiming UT wouldn't beat UK if they played today. I bet the Heroes From Hoopsville have already mobilized the Anti-Defamation League to picket the KNS tomorrow morning.

They'll come out with four new rationalization stats tomorrow. Forget tourney wins, let's get some SECe titles. Forget playing D or looking like we have a plan on O, let's do statue impressions on both ends, then brag about beatdowns on UGA.

I think Pearl is a good, not great, coach who has brought UT as far as he can. I don't think he will take us to the next level unless he undergoes a big philosophical change in the key areas that many people have already mentioned and continually mention. We'll be a top 20-25 program as long as he is around, and might finally crack the 16 barrier, but I doubt it.

It's really a catch-22. You have to be thankful for what he has done, but it's growing increasingly frustrating seeing how close the team is from taking that next step while watching the same mistakes over and over that keep them from making it.

:clap:

One of the best posts I've seen around here. That's basically what some of us say and we understand that. Yet for whatever reason, when you say that, you are labeled a hater, and someone who doesn't love the UT program. It's ridiculous. Excellent Post.
