I just miss the energy and excitement around the program that Pearl brought. I loved his passion.

Exactly. I do not miss his x's and o's. At times, he was great, at others, such as inbound calls and late game scenarios, he did lack.

SECCG agasint MSU, for example.

Well, some things are factual. Of the six coaches we have had since Devoe, only two have taken us to the NCAA tournament, and both of those coaches did it every year while coaching Tennessee.

Those two guys are also two of the most polarizing figures in Tennessee Basketball history, as well.

I LMAO at this everytime I see it. I like CCM, think he's done a decent job, but honestly, Pearl would have this team in the tourney. Last year, too.

Pearl himself said Martin did a better job last year than he would have done.

Plus your assertion is pure fantasy because there is no way to prove it. You have no idea what Pearl would have done.

And I stand by that assertion.

Having said that, both of these coaches do their best with their backs against the wall (the end of Pearl's last season not withstanding).

We're two years in and still, the majority of the players contributing still are Pearl's. And the reason given for this year's failures is another Pearl recruit who is injured.

College basketball is dirty. AAU is dirty. Shoe and apparel contracts are dirty. Camps are dirty. Recruiting by highschools starts before middle school for some. Houses are moved into in random neighborhoods, in highschool and college. Some people on here have no idea of the depths and how coaches keep things hidden by playing the "i don't want to know about it" card.
Who really freaking cares that BP had an illegal bbq. I can't imagine someone really would, unless they are just absolutely clueless. BP freaked out and made a dumbass error in judgement when he lied to the ncaa. That's about it. People should be mad at him for being a dumbass and ruining a good thing.

I agree with you sparty, but, you can't appease a radical.

I wish Pearl could still be our head coach, but I'm willing to remain faithful in Martin. He's not exactly had it easy his first two years. I look forward to actually seeing him with a healthy team.

This year is a carbon copy of last year. We stink early in the year, then go on a run and have hope, then we can't close the deal and tank at the end and have to settle for the National Irrelevant Tournament.

Well this is strike 2 for Cuonzo. He gets one more chance and if he fails, then he's out and then let's go rehire our proven winner Pearl !!!

Yeah, as a Duke and Tennessee fan I obviously love Kentucky. What exactly do you think Cal does?

I think through intermediaries pays players to come to Ky. Again, just because of your favorite team listings doesn't mean you're not trolling. You seem awful protective of your man Cal and awfully damning of Pearl. You haven't provided one ounce of proof that Pearl is dirty either.
