But, it appears that some on here see no inconsistency in beaming with pride at Pearl for doing it whilst simultaneously mocking the same intensity in Meyer.

if you don't want to read posts that mock Urban Meyer, perhaps you shouldn't be such a regular on a Vol message board

Or, perhaps, Vol fans should act their age and with slightly more class. If you have to make fun of someone to have a good time then there are deeper seeded issues that need to be dealt with.

Go to a Turd Board, they are probably saying the things we are saying about Bruce over there about that emotional trainwreck Meyer!!! I don't recall Bruce threatening anyone the way Cryer did, no comparison!

UT needs to bump Pearl's salary up big time to keep him happy, plus a huge bonus. He needs to be up in the $4 mil range.

Wait. I thought that it was settled here that it is inappropriate and gay for a coach to show such emotion after a tough loss.

no, just gay when you have a love obsession with one player like meyer did with tebow. hey lawgator after that little blow up with orlando reporter about the comment about tebow, do you still think that urban and tebow werent sleeping togther? just wondering.. your coach is whack job and he is losing it more and more each day... pretty soon they wont let him be around or have any sharp objects...no personal dis to you, i just hate everything that has to do with the university of florida..

No, the only that that's settled is that a coach shouldn't berate, threaten and intimidate a reporter for publishing what a player says.

Oh, yeah, and that a coach shouldn't resign for one week.:)

I've said elsewhere that Meyer was out of line for that and even predicted his apology, which came at the end of last week.

In the meantime, glad to see at least a handful of Vols fans who are consistent and see that it is perfectly okay for Meyer and for Pearl to show some emotion after tough losses.

For those of you hypocrites who insist on trying to carve out an exception for Pearl to do it from the otherwise universal rule of "Be a man" that you apply to everyone else, I say suck it.

He didn't give Wayne Chism an eskimo kiss if that's what you're inferring. Don't even compare Bruce and his passion to Urban and his cultlike persona. I fully expect half your team to commit suicide the next time a major comet rolls by the planet.

That or daterape half the campus.

It's simple. Pearl is a MAN who showed emotion.
Meyer is a pre-teen girl and cries at the drop of a hat.
See how simple that is?

Well, I guess I only said you had to have a reason to draw a distinction, not a good reason.

Did Pearl retire and come back a week later? Did Pearl chew out a reporter for doing his job? Or am I missing something?

Meyer is a drama queen. Pearl got emotional after one loss in the biggest game in program history.

Is it really that hard to tell the difference lawgator?

I am getting to the point where I feel there ought to be a minimum IQ requirement to post on this board: Tell me, how would Meyer's yelling at that reporter a week or so ago enter into the justification for complaining about him becoming emotional after a loss a year ago?

Bueller? Bueller?

I didn't think so.

Look, the reality is that both Meyer and Pearl are intense coaches. Both of them are pacing up and down the sidelines. In fact, if anything, Pearl is even more animated than Meyer.

I had no problem with Meyer getting emotional after a tough loss and also have no problem with Pearl getting emotionmal after a tough loss. But there's plenty of people on here who are trying to come with something, anything, to distinguish the two situations. But they are identical because its two coaches getting caught up in caring for the time, energy, and effort by their team only to come up short.

Anyone with an ounce of courage to be honest would say, know what? He's right. There is no difference. If its okay for Pearl to get emotional, its okay for Meyer to, as well.

But alas, my hope for a modicum of intellectual honesty on VN is yet again dashed.

Law gator you read my post again you will realize I said nothing about him getting emotional after a loss, and if you read your post you said nothing about what I did say in my post.

CUM is a drama queen. Which is why I, and I'm assuming other fans, don't like the dbag.

Love Bruce Pearl's coaching job and the emotion that he has obvioulys poured into the program. Don't care if he cried or not . . .

LG, and I say this with all the respect in the world, your coach is just a weird MFer. You like him because he wins, and I respect that. But he's got this over the top us against the world mentality and he's way too emotional for any stable human being, which is evidenced by his inability to control his anxiety or whatever the hell is causing him to take leaves and all that jazz. The guy is just a little bit off. He's a great football coach, but if he wasn't coaching your team you would be just as aware of this as everyone else on the planet.

I agree that he is a bit odd. Even so, I don't see anything wrong with him getting emotional after a tough loss, just as I don't see anything wrong with Pearl doing the same. And as to Meyer just generally being arrogant and sort of high strung, I mean, don't you think one could say that Pearl has done some unusual things, or seemed a little hot headed here and there, as well?

And let's face it, the pressure cooker of being the head football coach at UF the last five years has been a heckuva lot more intense than being head basketball coach anywhere.

While I agree with some of your comments and their general premise, don't go overboard. That statment isn't 100% accurate.

Uhm no.

Besides painting his chest a few years ago, I can't remember anything unusual or hot headed? Certainly hasn't retired for a week or blasted/threatened reporters for doing their job.


Care to remind me?

Or even remotely accurate. Meyer has had the most talent on the field in every game he played, save the AL game he just lost. Pressure is being asked to win when you have nothing.
