So, when X took the sno-cone machine, Pitino and son didn't pan out (LOL), no one would return Elvis's phone calls, and JP was named head coach by default, I posted on this board that I was sick of hired guns, so called "student athletes," who were simply waiting out the NBA period before making their millions. I looked forward, I said, to the return of "real" college basketball players, who would proudly wear the Tiger Blue for 4 years and hang diplomas on their walls. I said that I didn't care if it meant that we wouldn't be in the Elite Eight every year. I would be thrilled to have a program with integrity once again.

Tonight, while staring blankly into a bowl of Alpha-Bits, I could have sworn I saw the letters B-R-U-C-E-P-E-A-R-L-E appear in a perfect line. I suddenly found my mood lift, a wave of excitement build, the anticipation of post-season trips that wouldn't end after the first round, the cutting down of nets, players making it rain. For a brief moment, I felt like a hypocrite. But I quickly brushed the feeling aside, and returned to my growing state of euphoria, felt the headiness, basked in the glory.

Only then did I realize that there is no "E" at the end of Pearl. I slid further into despair, and switched to Fruit Loops. I have lost all touch with reality.

I think Pearl would do very, very well here.

Pay attention Chicken Littles: This is how its done!

no clue what you guys are trying to say but Cal has his dream team.

I like your post, but must admit I don't trust Pearl! his motives for being here would be all wrong for the kids.....IMO

Back in the day!!! I got really excited when I saw Tommy Amaker being considered for the job.....I figured that he would transcend an incredibly infectious atmosphere that we have yet seen at the U of M....Coming from that insane atmosphere at Duke...I envisioned the student section bouncing up & down during the game; painted bodies and standing and yelling until the first basket was made by our team.....And maybe even Tubby...Oh, I looove Tubby, and he would do wonders with the talent in this area.....We would NEVER lose a player the caliber of Skal with Tubby!

I actually like a young guy named Bill Self. I would take Mike Anderson. At least you know what they are going to do and they are going to play hard.

Did the alpha bits also spell out a 31point blowout lists to Colorado?

I watched a few minutes of the KY-KS game and thought to myself, that is our program out there on the floor for KY. That is where we were headed.

Pearl is indeed a good coach, but let's see how far he can go without cheating, you guys do remember that don't you.

Sometimes I put Jim Beam in my cereal too.

He had a cookout. A few coaches at UNC, UK, & KU have gotten by with way worse.

All that Pearl would do now is use Memphis to get himself another raise at Auburn, just like he used us to get a raise at Tennessee.
