Silly distinction. There's no difference in lying to the governing body of your profession and telling a child Santa Claus exists. All lies are obviously equivalent.

I have no idea what these guys said, but I do know that Pearl has not gotten nearly enough flak for the NCAA stuff. I've practically not heard anything on this board about it since October.

Thanks for such a fresh, new perspective of something that hasn't been rehashed over and over and over and over again.

Like you haven't attempted others to aid you in deceiving the governing body of your profession. Everybody does it. Just ask the Pearlophiles.

Good grief, the man just wanted to have some burgers with some recruits. He cried, he's remorseful about everything.

That sure did work out well for Indiana with Kelvin Sampson.

Not even a fair comparison. Do you have the details of what Sampson did to compare with Pearl. If you can show me that they are equal then I might consider the comparison.

He got a second chance and still committed major violations that Indiana hasn't overcame.

None of our lies are going to result in serious sanctions for the Tennessee basketball.

We don't know that yet...so you are just assuming the worst at this point. My point is you throw this guy under the bus as has the national media and then you want him gone because he made a bad mistake. He has been punished by the university and the program will suffer but I challenge you to offer a solution on who will take his place and make TN competitive again. And I mean a realistic solution and someone who will actually come to TN (a football school) and lead the men's bball team to 5 straight NCAA tourney appearances.

I'm not going to defend Pearl's action because they are inexcusable. However, Sampson had a history of this with the NCAA especially when he was at Oklahoma. This was more like his 4th or 5th chance rather than a second chance.

Does anyone invision a scenario in which Mike Hamilton could fire Pearl and still hold onto his own job? I've always felt that having an AD who hangs his hat almost solely on the Pearl hire has always worked in Pearl's favor with regards to keeping his job. Any other AD would probably have fired him back over the summer, but IMO if Hamilton has to fire Pearl, he might as well clean out his own office as well. How does everyone think this will factor into the decision making process once this season is over?

Again, your argument is hypothetical and holds no water. Bruce Pearl situation stands on it's own and to compare it to Kelvin Sampson is unfair. Using your logic, TN must compare it's NCAA investigation and sanctions that of SMU from the 80's.

Let me remind you that Jerry freakin' Green had this program ranked in the top 5 nationally. Maybe the best thing out of the Pearl era is the upgrade in facilities. Plenty of coaches can step in and do a good job.

It's a race between Wes Rucker, Mike Griffith, and Basilio sidekick Alex Anderson to see who can come up with the most creative explanantion as to why none of this is Bruce Pearl's fault and everything is just fine.

Mike Hamilton has done one great thing for the university of Tennessee athletics, and that is hiring Bruce pearl. We have one tough season and everyone calls for his head.

Roy Williams had a tough year following a successful year and nobody called for his head at NC.

Every coach has a tough year. If you cant sit through it without giving up then you aren't a Tennessee basketball fan. Youre just a "Tennessee basketball fan... when they're good."

The wins and losses of this season is not why anyone is calling for his head.

The Pearl/Sampson analogy is perfect. What Pearl and Sampson committed is a whole different scenario than SMU.

Did something new happen today or is everyone just responding to hat's latest agenda-filled comment? How many ways can we have the same exact conversation?

This team was good at the beginning of the season, and they aren't very good anymore.

The problems with this team go deeper than just CBP... piling on top of him isn't going to prove any points for the media guys. Everyone who follows the team closely enough to read or listen to their boring reports and stories knows what CBP did and how it has adversely impacted the team, so rather than stating the obvious, they are pointing out other glaring problems with the team i.e. the PG play.

They are just doing their job. There is nothing new to write about CBP. Makes sense though, anyone with an opinion opposite from one closed minded butt hurt fan is a sycophant. Great logic.

People aren't calling for his head because of this season. They're calling for his head because of the stuff he has put the basktball program through.

Did you actually watch this band of thugs on TV or in person? Most were recruited by Kevin (previous coach) and they were an embarassment to the university. That coach was a nutcase so if you want another Jerry Green type then ok but you won't be seeing college game day in town anymore and the Vols bball program will no longer be relevant.

Yeah, the "SEC is out to get Pearl, just look at the free throw disparity in conference play" they ran out there today was brilliant. That's exactly the kind of topnotch journalism I would expect to play well to the mindless masses.
