| So if that is how turns out, his average salary will go from $2.3 to $2.4 million plus the assistants getting a boost.
Eh.

| Does anyone remember what a bad year under Wade Houston or Buzz Peterson (or Buzzer Beaterson as I heard him called on another board) was like? I filled out NCAA brackets for years without seeing UT, it has felt good to see the Vols in the tourney 4 years in a row. Yeah his in-game coaching leaves a little to be desired, but its been a fun four years to be a UT b-ball, even if none of those years ended like we wanted them to and even though this year our team was painful to watch at times. Being disappointed means we have expectations. Before Bruce, I had none. | |

Eh. | Sure, Pearl has his drawbacks, but would you rather have A. Grant and save $300K? | |

Were you not excited then?

One was a guy who brought nothing to the University off the court, the other guy is everywhere bringing exposure to UT. | |

| A guy I work with told me he went to the Big Orange caravan when Green was here and caught him picking his nose at the table when someone else was speaking. I have no doubt he did the same thing during b-ball games. :D | |

| Well, I guess all that talk about how Hamilton was getting bent over by the sneaky Pearl was all bunk. Makes that thread with all of the stupid housing market analogies seem somewhat irrelevant now. | |

Well, I'd love to hear those people's thoughts on this so called BIG raise. There is no doubt he would have made way more at Memphis but stayed loyal to TN for far less...and what does he get for it? A bunch of whining and moaning fans to put up with that are always criticising his every move.
