After reading much of your bs--of which about 20% is accurate, and the rest is namecalling like a little girl--you'd be correct.

Oh, you were an expert on that subject long before you got here. You've been practicing it for a long, long time. I bet your pals in beautiful Brentwood are amazed.

That sounds like the multistate portion of the bar exam for me. We took it at Rothchild's Catering hall on Kingston Pike. I was at the then Cheers drinking beer for an hour before the rest of my cohorts began to wander into the bar.

The multistate almost gave me an ulcer. My test had 4 or 5 questions about Good Samaritan duties, which I had studied but got exactly backwards on the test, and about half a dozen on subdividing real estate, a topic I had never seen in school, in prep class, or on old tests.

It worked out OK, too.

The multistate had enough room for error that I didn't worry about the esoteric questions. Get the staple subjects right and keep moving.

Gives me an ulcer hearing you describe it.

Correct again. Your % is going up. I've been seeing through bs like you put out for a long time. Anybody can surf the net and give out speculation about coaches and players. That's all you bring. That, and a new thread about being right a couple of years ago, or bragging about finishing part of a bar exam an hour before your cohorts. Earlier, you compared coach Larr replacing Haith to Anderson replacing Pelphrey. That's ridiculous on multiple levels.

You'd be surprised how many people are laughing at you now. You seem to operate under the same delusion that many of Pearl's ardent supporters did. There are plenty of people on this board who can clue you in to how much I really speculate. Just because you were some second rate hack in the AAU sewer in Memphis doesn't make you connected. It makes you a former second rate hack in an AAU sewer. You really don't want to go down this road.

My evidence final scared the hell out of me. It was a large class, so we had the test room to ourselves. 50 multiple choice and a few short answer questions, the only test like that I had. I answered every question, looked up, and nobody else had finished. So I went back and checked every answer again, and still no one else had finished. I kept looking to make sure there wasn't a section I missed, turned it in, and worried until grades were posted.

It worked out OK in the end.

I don't think the concepts are bad; the volume of information is what I'm worried about.

He is such a genius that he has his very own condo and is his own boss at one of the top 200 defense attorney practices in metro knoxville.

showed up to watch that strutting, self-absorbed showman who ran a freaking circus before each game. My god...unicycles, sweet ga brown...clown uniforms!!?? Is there nothing he wouldn't do to draw a crowd?

The Pearlophiles and The Go To The Game To Be Seen Crowd will be long gone. The frontrunners will be nowhere to be found. The crowds will now consist of people who actually care about and support the program, not some clown in body paint. It'll be a welcome change.

Yep, a welcome change if you like a half full arena. A welcome change if you dont care about generating revenue.

Let me get this straight, people that choose to only come to games when there is a product worth supporting on the court, arent real fans? Maybe people just have better things to spend their money on.

Hate on Pearl all you want to, but at least acknowledge the fact that he took the program higher than it had ever been. Acknowledge that the excitement level had never been higher. I have no problem acknowledging the fact that in the end, he was an idiot and threw it all away.

He apparently drew the line at bodypaint. Even the Barnum of Basketball had his limits.

I'd love to see your brilliant analysis of how it's ridiculous.

Anderson assisted at Ark. Has many ties to the south and many relationships with HS and aau coaches in Ark, memphis, MS and alabama. He runs a style that Ark fans were accustomed to in their heyday. He's African American and Ark has immediate credibility and attention of some coaches and players because of the above.

Larranaga has no ties to the south, much less s. fla. He's a 61 yr old white coach at the end of his career and hasn't coached in a big conference before. Recruits don't know who he is, as they do Anderson.

Now, go ahead and pick that apart.

What does that remotely have to do with the context in which Larranaga/Haith and Anderson/Pelphrey was being discussed? If a guy already liked the "U", it's not a shock he'd still prefer Coral Gables after they replace a guy who struggled to find the NIT with a coach who's been to the final weekend.

I agree, for the most part, with everything you posted above. None of it has anything to do with the comparison you referenced, but it is accurate.

I wonder about some of the posters on this board who carry so much hate inside. Some people are born moral cripples, just as some are born with a twisted limbs. To celebrate
the demise of another human being is beyond me. I wonder if anything is sacrosanct to
these individuals, even to close friends? It asks a question and lays bare a specific relief
as to what is really behind the hatred.

Many haters really hate something about themselves or their situation, but can't deal with it like a man, so they hate on others because it makes them feel better.

Amen. We just moved one of those people out of the UT basketball office recently.

I admit he had his moral flaws, as we all do. I come with a complete set of character defects, as we all do. I just don't understand the hatred. He is gone now so let it rest.

When was the last time UT averaged 8,000 or fewer?
