Yemi Makanjoula commits to Tennessee

I mean bandwagon in a positive sense. Even the fans that are just getting behind Coach Pearl are fine with me. I can't fault anyone for taking a while to buy into the men's program. They certainly haven't done anything in recent history to engender confidence.

How about new people coming on site looking for actual information on a thread and having to wade through the crap every time you guys go at it.
It is funny at first and then it gets tedious.

This!!! There is not much information available for our new commitment anywhere online, so I come to this site. I see four pages of what I think will be meaningful insight and discussion about the recent commit. But why would I assume that??? Less than 10 posts actually pertain to the commitment with a thread titled "Yemi Makanjoula commits to Tennessee" Four pages of useless arguing!!! F-ing Idiots!

Effort will never be a problem for a Bruce Pearl coached team. He demands that his players play hard and there are consequences for those who choose to take the easy way out.

It pisses me off that people here don't cater to your needs, especially given that they owe you and they also know you're forced to read 4 pages that you didnt want to. Speaking of idiots, who reads 4 pages qen they know it isn't going to answer their question, then spends more time to respond?

I fail to see much offbase there. I never had a problem with the "I support Pearl because he's UT's coach" crowd. It's the "Bruce Pearl is obviously a great and honest man who we owe our entire basketball program to" bunch I detest.

Are you pulling platitudes out of your ass?

It's certainly nothing imminent. Pacer management is very impressed with Coach Pearl, but they're into Rick Carlisle for a bunch of money. I wouldn't lose any sleep over this possibility.

Seems to me that DaNashVilleVol needs to check in over at GVX 24/7. (Premium).

Yeah, Hamilton's doing a lousy job. I can't believe he hired that goofy Bruce Pearl. Also, I can't believe he's overseeing the transformation of Thompson-Boling Arena from a soulless aluminum barn into a quality basketball facility. We need a visionary AD like Bob Woodruff or Doug Dickey.

Agreed. I enjoy debating anyone and everyone that has differing opinions... once and then, whether right or wrong, its over. VN is turning into an elementary school presentation of the movie "Groundhog Day"

... which was the worst movie ever

Hamilton is clearly presiding over UTAD ascendancy.

I'm a huge Bruce Pearl fan. However, there's no way his resume merits him being rated above guys like Boeheim. The same goes for Wright and JTIII.

Where did I ever not laud his accomplishments at UT? Also, looks like it is again pretty damn accurate, unless you think he's a better coach than those guys.

Yes, they are. Bruce Pearl is coaching against Kevin Stallings.

In a long line of sarcastic posts about coaches winning with someone else's players:

I would also like for everyone to quit yammering about Bruce Pearl. We all know he is really winning with key components brought to us by Buzz Peterson.
