And our PG play doesn't look like it will be getting any better any time soon. |

| Hat are you least impressed with Pearl because of the style of offense he chooses to run? He also does not seem to0 go after size or atleast that is what I gather.

Do you really think the schedule is that bad? Kansas, @Memphis, @USC, Virgin Islands (Purdue). | |

According to the way you speak of him, any team with King Cal on their schedule, TWICE, should not be ridiculed.
So...Playing a national championship contender (Kansas), another NCAA Tourney team (USC), a veteran Purdue team (possibly), AT Memphis (a school you seem to salivate over), and Kentucky TWICE (another possible national Championship contender AND the home of your beloved coach) is not impressive to you?
Would you care to elaborate on what would be impressive? Or should I go ask the steaming pile of cow dung to not stink?

Posted via VolNation Mobile | It shouldn't be viewed as a negative or positive. The past couple of years it's helped the schedule and because Cal left and most of the recruits did too, it won't help.
I don't see why BP should be ridiculed or praised for Memphis' situation. | |
