CBSSportsline.com article on Pearl & Vols

Nice...thanks for sharing.

My favorite line:

"Yes, the Vols still need to take that next step as a program and get past the Sweet 16, but to dwell on any perceived tournament shortcomings is to miss the larger point -- that Tennessee was mostly nonexistent in men's basketball before Pearl, and now the Vols are consistently ranked, consistently winning big games and on their way to the NCAA tournament for the fifth consecutive season."

Excellent, I came back on here to post that article. It does not even mention Negedu or Tyler Smith not being a part of Pearls team this year during those victories...

If Minnesota falters against either of their remaining 2 and Illinois does not win both, the Big 10 will have 4 in the tournament. Could the SEC get 5? Yes. TN, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and Ole Miss and Miss State are all in the hunt, and Florida was crap in losing in Athens but they join TN and Ga Tech in that sad experience...

Wow, I knew it was bad but five tourneys in twenty-two years before Bruce? Really? Jesus.

The people on this board represent less than 1% of Vols fans. It seems like nobody likes him from reading the posts but its just the same 10 people posting over and over.

Loved Bruce pointing out after game that no one has beaten KY more than Vols. He stressed that KY really needs to see us as one of their biggest rivals.

If this was just some guy that posted on VolNation, he would be getting flamed to hell and back right now as a Pearl-Slurping, medicore-loving, terrbile-recruiting admiring, awful-coaching tolerating piece of Hilljack garbage.

I just printed him a Pearl Slurper Junior Ranger Fan Club Card and am now sending it his way! Slurpers Unite!

That's funny, that's exactly what I was thinking when I read it. As was said above by FittyElevem though, we need to remind ourselves that a few of the fringe element are posting here, not going to win everyone over.

Great win today.

Why are you not posting your norm: We need to get rid of CBP.....we can afford a better coach............SEC East crowns dont mean anything........etc.....etc....

I guess that wouldnt be real popular right now.

I was poking fun at Pooch and decided it did not live up to my witty standards.

I am the guy you told over and over again we could do better than CBP and he needed to be replaced. Go to the CBP to Ga Tech forum to refresh your memory.
