I don't see the huge "dig." Just hit ignore and remain a lesser informed yet happier person.
It's all dig. The whole premise was 'Tony Jones said this (in reality, he was repeating what he heard on ESPN), Tony Jones was wrong'. If you'd posted it, I wouldn't care, but hat hates on Pearl all day on here, and now he's going after Tony. Stick up for your coaches, VOL.:crazy:
I'd love to comment further about why this is absurd, but I don't want to violate the new forum rules...:hi:
Nice cop-out. "All I can think of now is cusswords, so no comment.." Stick up for the hat-er all you want, I guess you guys don't like Pearl either. There's plenty of your types around. It's a football school, after all...:good!:
I'm just a loyal Vol fan who went to school there and remembers what UT BBall was like before CBP and Tony Jones. I'm happy with NCAA apps and sweet 16's. Also, I don't cheer for any other NCAA Bball teams besides the Vols, and I never have, except in the 'go SEC' sort of way.
Who else do you cheer for, Hat?

How was that a dig? I took it to mea that we are looking to upgrade our early season tourney schedule.

Honestly, if it had been anyone else saying it, I would have taken it differently. When Hat mentions a UT BBall coach, I assume that he's being critical. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt it. Smug Hat definitely isn't going to say honestly, I bet, especially now that all of you have shown how you've never read his other posts. It's like if a Bammer posts an article about Kiffin.
This thread is ridiculous. How bout we all just admit it. I understand that it was started to "inform" us all of the mis-spoken Tony Jones but who cares? Who really wants to be the quote police on making sure every single thing that every coach says is 100% accurate? That sounds fun.....
We'll either play in the pre-season (we're talking about pre-season man, pre-season - add in Iverson's voice here) or not. UNC looks like they'll be else where. Ok.........
It was a fine basketball thread until someone turned it into a personal vendetta against the OP.
Kiffinator are you calling me stupid? Wah wah...
I find it more than amusing that I have been personally insulted by multiple people on this site, several of whom are working as part of the jury on personal insults.
Name calling was not a part of my thread that was nuked last night, at least not from me. I did not need to resort to it to make my point.
It will be interesting to see what this forum looks like minus ad hominem. I really did not understand why this post raised anyone's ire...it seemed pretty straight forward.
I hope Tony Jones was right and TN is looking to get even more tough OOC for our basketball team. I think our national profile keeps going up, and if we slaughter Purdue on Monday we will be in the discussion of very best teams where I want us.
It seems like every UT bball thread nowadays turns into a Pearl bashing thread or a "stop bashing Pearl thread" whether or not the thread was started innocently...
