Posted via VolNation Mobile | Do you feel like with UT being a dominant football school, that the Athletic department is more willing to settle for making the tournament every year and hopefully litter in some SEC titles/sweet sixteens/elite eights? Obviously in the past its always been a case of UT hoops living in the shadow of the football program, kind of like the bastard child so to speak. (as is the reverse in UK).
It seems they are happy to have their basketball program perhaps treading water a bit above average, making some big time TV games while focusing on the bigger picture, which is football.
Otherwise I see no reason for signing the great orange one to a long term 6 year deal. | |

A couple of more years of Tanning Bed's act and apathy will have set in to the point that very few people care enough to discuss UT basketball. It'll pretty much be a carbon copy of the end of Uncle Jed Green's tenure. Posted via VolNation Mobile | |

Money management and negotiating do not appear to be his strong suits. | |

Do I agree w/ the six year deal a/b Pearl? no, tht's too many years. Two-Three year extension would have done just fine. Also, Hamilton has shown interest in other sports, unlike Dickey.

| Wow, I can't believe some many people dislike Pearl. I'm starting to think that since Fulmer was fired, Tennessee fans have been in "firing" mode.
