For Chainsaw........."Pearl is guilty of what?" He is guilty of nothing, but he doesn't have to be guilty to find himself embroiled in a public relations nightmare that would jeopardize his career at the University.

Amidst these glory days for the Vols, here's a sobering question about our basketball program - Can Bruce Pearl handle success, or will he self-destruct?
Obviously, this question does NOT apply to any aspect of his basketball program but rather to his ability to control his personal life. The first negative indication is that he divorced his wife. No one knows the circumstances, but one hates to see family relationships torn apart.
Add to this unfortunate situation, his playful physical contact with Erin Andrews of ESPN (on national television, and now all over the Internet), one has to wonder what's next. Let's hope these preliminary indications amount to nothing. Hopefully, he will keep in mind that there are women who will go after him, for the express purpose of filing a sexual harrassment suit, for actions less agregious that he's already guilty of.
Let's hope he doesn't destroy such a fabulously promising career.

I'm surprised no one is talking about how Calipari did such a poor coaching job at the end. According to Dick Vitale, he had one time out left, but didn't use it. With about 10-seconds on the clock, they came down court and just slung up a wild shot. Pearl, a far better coach, would have called a time out to set up the game-winning play.
Thankfully, Calipari didn't have his head in the game..........He was probably combing his hair !?!?

But for the crippling attrition Fulmer is talking about, our cornerbacks would be Inky Johnson (who suffered a career-ending injury) and Demetrice Morley (who flunked out). With Heffney and Berry, we would now be playing with this all-SEC secondary.
In this case, our econd teamers would have been Roshoun Fellows (who also flunked out) and Antonio Gaines (who suffered a season-ending injury). Marsalous Johnson (who is also injured) would have been third team. Our present starters would have been buried somewhere on the scout squad.
Anyone who evaluates the situation fairly must agree that Fulmer has a point. I challenge anyone to find a team with that kind of devastation in one single area. No amount of coaching by Fulmer, Chavis, or anyone else could have prevented this situation.

For Chainsaw...........I'm simply saying that I hope Bruce realizes he's suddenly a celebrity, and celebrities must be on guard 24/7 against the money-hungry leeches that are out there. Just ask Frank Gifford, Bill O'Reilly, et al, who got caught in their trap.
I'm just raising a red flag so that, perhaps, talking about the unlikely possibilities might cause someone (like Mike Hamilton) to help alert Bruce to the dangers.........It is unbelievable how many sexual harassment cases are filed every day with little or no basis.
I hope you know, no one is pulling for BP more than I am. I started watching UT B-Ball in the days of Coach Sines.....If you're lucky, you aren't old enough to remember what it was like back then? To see us at No. 1 now is absolutely fabulous. Hopefully, we can stay at these lofty heights.
