Calm down dude, GEEZ!

You went spouting off first saying I meant anyone who bashed Pearl was a kiffinite. So YOU did just what you said I did. At least I asked, I didnt just attack right off the bat like you did. Learn to conversate, I have, cause Im sick of getting violations.

My post about being a kiffinite and such was a joke.

so are the 20,000 plus fans who are going to be at all home games this year supporting the program, but not Bruce?

Do you not see a problem if all are just supporting Pearl? What if Pearl got a better job offer and UT simply couldn't match? Pearl will be gone one day, one way or the other. If the popularity built up over the last 5 years is ONLY because Pearl is here, then we might as well shut down the program.

I would venture to say they support the program first and the coach second. If they don't, I have absolutely no use for them. Don't like it? Go be a frontrunner elsewhere.

you'll have as good of a chance at making me leave the vols as pearl had of not making it to the elite 8.

And you're not assuming a Pearl critic is a Kiffin lover? And that if someone "bashes" DD they love Kiffin?

No, Im talking about the ones who specifically mention kifffin. I dont assume you love kiffin just because you dont think DD is the right man for the job.

If UT fires pearl because he ate a pop tart with a recruit at his home, i'm going to know that there is more behind it than what we already know.

With whats out there now, no one can say that he deserves to be fired or to resign.

Cool, plus I come to Martin a lot and I would not want to have to have a situation with you!

J/K, also a joke!

But seriously I am up there a lot because I have family there.

And, if everything goes smoothly and Pearl remains coach at UT, he'll be better than ever.

I don't understand this train of thought whatsoever.

It's not the cheating that has Pearl's job in question.

It's how he handled the situation. If you tamper with an NCAA investigation, that should lead to an immediate termination.

You get caught, fess up. It was a minor violation.

You lie and lie and continue to make a fool of yourself, then come out crying, well there's no sympathy for you. Now you've turned a minor slap on the wrist into a full blown NCAA investigation because you're too stupid and/or scared to admit you cheated.

Every coach spends time in the "gray areas" of recruiting.

The majority are able to self report secondary non-sense and keep it from blowing out of proportion.

Except about the part where it should lead to immediate termination, I agree.

half of the people who post on the basketball forum are brainwashed by Hatvol96.

Yeah, Hat brainwashed every one into thinking Pearl was a snake, had no respect from his peers, and was a huge hypocrite. Boy has he been proven to be completely wrong.

Then it shouldn't be hard for you to point those people out to me. The burden of proof is on you.

Not really, if I told you that grass is green the burden of proof would be on me, but it should be obvious. Kpt is one of them, however, and then there is a group that chimes in, but Im not gonna go back and seach and link!

they also tried to manipulate fans telling them that pearl was not a good enough coach to make it to the elite 8.

Wrong.

Nah, if you have been on the football forums you know exactly what Im talking about. Kiffin left US and they still love him and brag on him.

So Pearl's actions have no bearing on what people think of him as a person/coach?

I am sorry, but Hat hasn't brainwashed anyone. He may have influenced a few sheople in forming their opinion, but I haven't seen any evidence of brainwashing. Some people just have a problem with lying, cheating, hypocritical people regardless of their profession or position in life. I am not happy, but as long as he is wearing the orange blazer 4 games a year, I am all in. This "new" info has no bearing on anything as far as I am concerned. He had 3 COMMITMENTS to our school over for a BBQ. Its not the worst thing a coach has done. The blatant lying to the AA is the issue here, and nothing about that has changed. Public knowledge is what it is and matters nil in this situation. People will still come to the games because of the product we have on the court and because we love our school and the athletics involved. If we were in the seats prior to Bruce albeit not as many, we will be in the seats after Bruce, whenever that time may come.

Go Vols!!!

Row 1, Sec K, seats 18-19 baby!!!

GO VOLS!!!!!!!
