John Calipari came off as a complete idiot during the build-up to this game. I had little knowledge of his background and my wife had never heard of him before we watched the game Saturday. We were both dumbfounded at his arrogance and unprofessionalism prior to, during, and after the game. His behavior toward his own players showed an angry, self-centered egomaniac interested only in self-promotion. By contrast, Pearl was a motivational teacher who seemed completely focused on his players and his team.

I'm thankful that we not only have a coach 180 degrees opposite of John Calipari, but that the good guy indead won Saturday night!!!

You see, this is how NOT important UT fans think of things now. Memphis is still whining and crying about this game...but the Vol fans have posted 3 comments....

Not important...bring on Vandy.

Sorry memphis high, you lost...deal with it.

"Memphis fans woke up this morning realizing losing to Tennessee Saturday night isn't the end of the world......"

No, it's not the end of the world to the memphis fans. On the memphis board they're just making up lies and mocking Tyler Smith and his father laying on his death bed dying.

Pitiful but typical

Thank you volndothan for your perfect analgoy of Calipari. The most accurate I've ever seen.
Go Vols !!!!

It is not the end of the world but it should be the end of the illusion that Memphis is a strong contender for a N.C.

VolnDothan, sorry you and the wife had to be subjected to that. If you think that was bad, try living here in Shelby County and having to endure a steady diet of his coaching "wisdom". Around here, it's all Cal all the time.

And, rab, they're still a contender but not if they don't get consistent play out of Dorsey and Dozier. They're going to have to do better than what they've shown recently. But that's their problem. On to Vandy!

I was able to be present at the game. But FedEx Forum has a REAL problem on the outside. I got to the Forum around 6:00 P.M. and I was shocked to see seveal hundred fans (students and ticket fans) standing in lines waiting to get in, the gates were open at 6:30. Thank goodness it wasn't raining and not to cold. The crowd was not causing any problems, even with a lot of drinking going on. But what can you expect from "Fort Memphis".

For Memphis - yeah, it's the end of the world!!! LMFAO!!!! It's also the end of your shot at any ring except that highly coveted C-USA thing. You've been exposed for what you are - PAPER GANGSTERS!!! A fundamentally UNSOUND team that whines with every instance of adversity and has no true leader. Yeah - it's the end of the world!
