Our coach has 3 juniors over to his house for a BBQ.
They are all committed to the school.
Subsequently 2 go to other schools.
Bruce Pearl lies to the NCAA investigators who have heard from a snitch and have a picture of him with a junior.
Bruce Pearl goes to them and says "I lied."
Mike Hamilton takes away 1.5 million from Bruce and takes away off campus recruiting for a year.
The Vols get negative story after negative story. This is similar to when Tennessee had players pulled over.
At Memphis, a player who had more accolades coming out of High School than any of the guys in the car who were pulled over for Tennessee is suspended indefinitely because he gets in fights with his teammates and threatens them in a way that makes the school take action.
It gets about as much media attention as the fact that Dane Bradshaw practiced with the mens team.
This goes to show you that Hat is right that other coaches hate Bruce, but it also goes to show you that the media knows that lots of fans will click and click and click on negative stories written about UT.
Complete homers like Wolken and Gay Parrish are willing to give Pastner a pass but they also know that there are not that many people who are such UAB fans that they hate the Memphis Tigers. Tennessee is a much bigger program nationally that more people care about than the Memphis Tigers.
We are a big program, we have a top coach and we have tons of haters. At some point that should become a point of pride.
NWA had Jerry Heller and we have GP, Calipari, Thad Matta and a list that will grow as we stomp the piss out of more teams. I hope Dixon and Jay Wright hate Pearl's guts after his team abuses theirs.
I want a top 10 program. I want to be as hated as Duke, except I do not want us to have a Vitale verbally fellating our coach every season. Rest assured, when we succeed and there is no long probation, Clay Travis will try to get back to fluffing of Pearl but it will be too late.
So...the double standard on media coverage is a compliment. Thanks haters...
