Although I understand what you were saying here... your language is farrrrrrrr to complex for this board :blink:

Point taken, however, I didn't see the crayon font.

Perhaps I should reduce my stylings to emoticons and stick figures.

I would have also offered, "clicks and whistles" but Rex's wife already calls me enough.

Rex hasn't posted a response to squash the rumor that he has no testicles, hence, I believe that to be a confirmed rumor and entirely accurate.

Just saying......sometimes it works.

Why should we believe anything he ever posts again. He is notorious for starting rumors and ant--Vol and Pearl propaganda. People who try to be the smartest person in the room usually end up either being the dumbest or just the loudest.

I hope he stays at Tennessee a long time.What he did is not as bad as what Calapari did at UMASS & Memphis.Calamari still thinks to this day he did nothing wrong.So what he made a few Improper phone calls look how many Indiana's former coach made.He made three times as many improper calls as Pearl did.Maybe more.

Speaking only for myself, I don't "pull" against Pearl as the head coach, given that his on-court success is inextricably linked to Tennessee's.

However, I believe the manner in which he has conducted himself - be it the lying to the 'AA, or in the many other failed areas of both his personal and professional life - to be entirely self-serving, unacceptable, and not in good keeping with the standards and ideals of The University of Tennessee. I believe his actions have not only discredited both himself and the University of Tennessee, but far more egregiously, the millions of Tennesseeans whom it represents.

As such, I am unwilling to minimize or rationalize the harm which his behavior has caused to occur, or its severity, in any way, as doing so would first require me to both sacrifice my own personal character, and to impugn my own integrity.

While appreciative of the many, many good things he has done for our program, his position as head coach neither assuages my concerns nor mitigates the damage which his personal conduct has caused (and will continue) to occur.

Simply, his being our head coach nor more gives him a free pass than we would provide were he the coach at any other school. To do so now, because he is our coach, is disingenuous at best, and flagrantly dishonest at worst.

Very well stated. I wholeheartedly agree.

This thread, in all actuality, felt like watching our football team... The highs, the lows, the inability to explain what just happened...

The "RUMOR-Bruce Pearl resigning" thread is just another sad example of posters and their supposed "contacts" deep in the heart of the athletic department screwing with every Vol fan because of some lousy information they get from "trustworthy" sources. I think I speak for most Vol fans by saying, please just keep your "information" to yourself from now on. If "RUMOR" is in the title of your thread post, just don't post it at all.

Along those same lines, wouldn't it be easy to see "Rumor" in the thread title and not read it?

They said they didn't know if it was true. They were just presenting information. They said from the very beginning that it could be BS. How is that not something a UT fan would post here on VolNation? If you have such a problem with that, you should go to a site where there aren't a bunch of UT fans talking about UT issues.

While i don't disagree with what you guys are saying about getting a fanbase in a frenzy over nothing... What other threads generate this type of Buzz? VN created a monster :)

This thread = Lane Kiffin's "Any pub is good pub"

I am going to apologize in advance for not keeping up with this thread, but with the baby (see avatar), I don't have time to go through all 45 pages. Can someone summarize what happened with this? Thanks so much.

1. Rex started an unfounded and false rumor, but since he called it a rumor some say it's ok.

2. Hat then tried to enthrall the masses with his genius legal shenanigans, but since it is a rumor, some say it's ok.

And btw, did the baby come from the RedStick?

No, they weren't. If you have some sort of problem with VolQuest, that's fine. I stated that that's what the posters on VQ were saying. I had no way to know what Brice and Hubbs' silence meant and said so.

by the way your prose was ruined by your last paragraph, what does nor more mean? If holier than thou fits anything, it is this post.
