I don't care if he's 15 or can't spell. He's right. Logic may not be his sharpest weapon, but we spend thousands upon thousands of words about Fulmer, and who might possibly be the next coach. Personally, I can't find anything more boring on the interwebs than useless speculation.
What we do have is a hoops team. We have some issues to work out, but when we hit our stride we will be formidable. There should be a LOT more talk about it.
Dead on brother. I couldn't care less about all the speculation. It's great that we have a basketball forum, but in my mind all that coaching stuff should have a seperate forum and real sports talk should reside in the Vols forum. JMHO...
And to answer the kid, most of the people on this site came around when all the coaching stuff started happening, thats what they're here for. They have us like 5 to 1 at least. And besides, do you really want to hear what they have to say about basketball? I'm fine with letting them stay over there blabbering about what they don't know. I KNOW we have a basketball season going on, and these kids are fun to watch. They will make us proud, and when they do, all those 'other' people will be all over it, " Yea, basketball ! Bruce Pearl !"
Talk basketball, kid. We're here...
I appreciate that. I just feel that basketball needs a lot of credit. What Pearl has done here in a short time is remarkable.
For my part, I am using basketball to maintain my athletic booster sanity during this firestorm of a football season. I would probably not have made a donation to the VASF without Uncle Brucie & Co. in the mix.
Sadly, I think my favorite moment at Neyland this year came when I first saw the ad for roundball season tix... I recall saying to myself, "sir, there is now light at the end of this God-forsaken tunnel!"
Their performances against Chattanooga, Siena, & Georgetown have only proven the worth of that sentiment over time. They have collectively saved me from drowning in a sea of apathy and orange athletic fail.
To paraphrase Cameron Frye, "Cameron Tatum, you're my hero."
Looking forward to the 'zags game tomorrow, and to being at UGA for the SEC tipoff in January.
