So now we are going to question Bob Knight's loyalty to Indiana because he disgraced their athletic department. Don't say it wasn't because of violations because violations are not the only thing that can disgrace an athletic department.

uhh...they fired him. Brand was a moronic acehole, but he fired Knight. You might want to take a different tack.

Don't forget lobbying for that Memphis job so he could get a raise.

I love people who live in Fantasyland. I remember when I lived there when I was 10. Life was much simpler and fun.

He doesn't need to love Tennessee like we fans do and that was never realistic anyway. He probably does love Tennessee for what we've done for him and allowing him the opportunity for the big stage. However, he has no previous ties nor probable interest in anything Tennessee until getting hired. For someone to expect him to love UT like Jed from Soddy-Daisy isn't realistic. Doing his job is realistic.

I agree. Conversely his "love for UT" should not be the basis of keeping him around either. That is really what I'm addressing.

He was just showing his appreciation, love, and devotion for UT by doing that.

He has been lobbying/looking for better gigs since he set foot on campus. I don't fault him for it. The blind loyalty people attribute doesn't exist.

Jerry from Bulls Gap is very offended you didn't use him as an example.

So now I'm supposed to take the take of message board posters over a woman such as Pat Summit? Are you questioning her dedication to UT? Because she speaks highly of Pearl everywhere she goes and about his dedication to Tennessee.

I'm pretty sure I've heard her speak pretty highly of guys named "Peterson" and "Kiffin" once before too.

Never heard her talk of Kiffin's dedication to TN. Care to enlighten us on that?

I was saying she spoke highly of him. I'll see if I can find dedication speeches somewhere too.....

Out of curosity, where'd you get to meet ol' Bruce anyway?

oh, well crap. You weren't there and I can't crap the DVD, so it didn't happen.

It didn't happen because Pat has never once said Kiffin was dedicated to UT. She spoke highly when it came to some other things he did but never has Pat said Lane Kiffin is dedicated to UT.

BTW was Fulmer dedicated to UT?
Was Majors dedicated to UT?

Because fans say both of those guys disgraced the athletic department in their careers.

Good point. She never used the word dedicated, so your point about her believing CBP is just rips the arsehole out of this argument.

WTH does the rest of that crap have to do with this?

Maybe you haven't read or having problems comprehending, but it was stated that since Pearl "disgraced the university" that it shows he wasn't dedicated to it.

BPV - if you are dedicated to UT then you will shut up. Otherwise, Summit won't give you the orange "dedicated" star because she is the official word of who is dedicated to UT and who isn't.

and? You now believe you've disproven that idea? You don't think for a second he's here for the paycheck and potential for career advancement?

No. Because the posters here care about as much about what Pat Summitt thinks about this situation as they do their pet dog.

I doubt anyone's dog ever gave anything to my university but I'm pretty sure Pat has. Stick to Pearl because the rest of your posts are really starting to nose dive
