Ahhh, Fulmer blew the whistle? Well, yeah, but wasn’t Spurrier and Jim Donnan and several other coaches in the SEC and perhaps one coach in the bIg 10 who blew the whistle on the actions of the Criminal Tide.

Bruce Pearl wins and is building a power at TN the right way. 20 years from now when Bruce Pear has 800 wins and 3 NCAA Championships basketball coaches every where will say Bruce Pearl is one of the best coaches of all-time.

Some of you are hillarious. Pearl never proved crap. He made up a story about Thomas that the NCAA dismissed. End of story. The guy is self-promoting scum.

It’s pretty funny how ignorant some of these posts are. You slamming on a guy about his integrity when he does the right thing by reporting an action that violates the rules? Just pitiful really. Pearl is one hell of a coach and an amazing character as well. His first two years have proven his amazing coaching ability involving recruiting, developing, and motivating players. His recent decline of the Iowa job shows his loyalty to his fans and the program, while still respecting Iowa enough to hear out their offer. This guy is first class. You Illini fans better be happy he did’nt take the job because he would be whipping your ass all over the court every year.

Whats more Bruce is one damned fine individual and he is taking it to the sweet sixteen! The man stands for something - too many punks want money for nothing and their chicks for free. Get a real job and stop cheating your way through life!!!

Hey, that’s my father you’re talking about. He was just trying to look out for the integrity of the sport and the recruiting process.

If you’re going to slam him, at least be a little more articulate.

Bruce Pearl is a rat and a snake. Whether or not Illinois committed violations is besides the point. He threw a kid under the bus for no reason. Fuck Bruce Pearl.

I believe it was Jimmy Collins who said, “It’s hard to forgive a snake.” refeerring to never shaking my dad’s hand after games while they were conference members.

You all are jeolous idiots. The tennessee vols will smoke the second rate program called the illini, in any sport. Maybe you should worry about the crappy players that you have and not the things you cannot control.

BP is one of the best coaches in the country and Illinois would love to have a coach half as good. I love watching the Illini with every win that Tennessee gets!

Bruce pearl is the epitamy of college basketball. Teamwork, hustle, trust and dedication is him. You Holier than thou cynics that are mad because you were exposed need to chill and keep telling yourself that the big 10 is the best football conference. Fantasies can take you a long way. Every championship comes from the south. Quit hating on Pearl and build your own respectable program without bending the rules.

How can any serious ill whine eye fan believe that your school and your team’s coaches didn’t cheat?

How on earth can you defend such a scumbag as Jimmy Collin$?

If the roles were reversed, and Collin$ had turned in Iowa for offering Deon $80,000 and a Blazer, you’d be howling at the moon
