My husband would absolutely love this...


Any chance an alternate this year would be the black uniform with orange numbers, names, and stripes with a black helmet that has an orange stripe and that T with the orange outline? Maybe even black stripes on the pants with the orange outline?

We did nothing wrong as a university in the Pearl situation. He lied to NCAA investigators directly. Remember that this was on the heels of USC/Reggie Bush probation so the NCAA hadn't been castrated yet at that time. Pearl was getting a show-cause penalty no matter what we did.

Totally different than today’s climate.

Not only that, but in hindsight, I’m pretty sure Pearl lied about it to his administration. Try getting involved in controversy and then lie to your boss and see how that works out. In this case, the coverup was worse than the crime.
 
Velus' hammy injury is pretty concerning. Those can linger quite awhile and we really need him on the field.
Yes they can…. Tore mine playing Flag Football in the Army…. Just stepped wrong and boom bruised from my hip to my knee black…. It was bad lol 😂 took a long time to heal up and still gives me issues sometimes.
 
again you’re not going to get those premier Dbs until you show the ability to get the real guys upfront and prove the ability to produce draft picks. Why in the hell as a 5* Db would you go to UT past 2011? Exactly you wouldn’t because there’s absolutely no reason too. So elite recruiter or not nobody is coming here but a few who trusted CJP based on reputation. Again the UT brand is no longer the flavor to attract elite recruits like the Fulmer days. This is a harsh reality that many refuse to believe.


And yet you seem thrilled to drill it in our heads over and over. OK! WE SUCK AND ALWAYS WILL SUCK SO WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER WANT TO PLAY HERE UNLESS THEY SUCK AS WELL. And you are the guy whose gonna help us? Heck no and you wonder where the bags went to? Some other guys in Florida and Georgia. I appreciate Buck but guys like you are just hanger on types.

The BBQ was insanely minor….lying to the NCAA wasn’t minor.
It is extremely minor compared to paying players and offering fake classes. And Pearl called them right after, before they caught him, and told them he hadn't been entirely honest. Meanwhile Frank Haith's coaching staff was giving athletes rides to booster yachts full of strippers and prostitutes and passing them bags of cash from boosters, AND they proved Haith lied to the NCAA about it, but he got 3 games.

So like I said, Pearl's crimes were incredibly minor, even lying (briefly) to the NCAA.
 
Who cares about Bruce Pearl? It’s about protecting your assets(programs)…. Could you imagine Alabama wrecking their football program or any of their programs over a barbecue? No, they would have handled their business…. If Mike Hamilton had been in charge during the 90’s then Tennessee wouldn’t have a National Championship….. He put out every fire that came along.
Well said.

Compared to other schools defending their coaches against far worse violations (and succeeding), your point kind of falls flat. His crimes were incredibly petty compared to what other schools fight the ncaa over and get away with.
The 3 year show cause he was given says differently.
