Michigan barely runs any offense
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, is just a freight train coming your way...
@btcoop71
are we just that fast, or do these teams just seem slow to anyone else?

I was in the process of writing that

@btcoop71
they might have..it seems a bit disfunctional
there is no excuse for them to get ran out of the gym like they are today

When you don't set a good example
for the team, it can lead to losing the team.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.

What a miserable way
to end a season that could have been. I have a tiny bit of sympathy for the players but none for Pearl. Well, I guess we won’t have sddbaker to kick around anymore.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
I also feel sorry for the players - this wasn't something they signed up for or the fans

They quit on their coach, who decided to quit on them

UT's AD
had bad timing on his comments about Pearl’s future. Or did he?

I don't see any way Hamilton keeps his job

@btcoop71
Hamilton should have already voluntarily resigned.
He is an embarassment to the school and his profession. I have never seen an AD anywhere in the country keep their job after a debacle like Tennessee has been the last couple years.

I think he just tried
to save his skin by throwing Pearl to the wolves, but the wolves are craving bigger prey.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
If I just heard right,
Michigan set NCAA Tourney record by not hitting a free throw in the game. Get beat by thirty and the other teams doesn’t even hit a free throw. Beyond embarrassment and into the realm of utter humiliation.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
At one point Michigan went on a 53-17 run

@btcoop71
UT was in the game
in the first half. Something happened in that locker room that caused the team to quit.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
Maybe Bruce told them he was going to be canned?

There is going to be physical shedding of blood over on RTT before the night is through.....
it is getting rough over there…..
Never seen a team fall apart like that in a second half…….that was worse than our meltdown against Georgetown back in the day.
Pearl needs to resign if he cant do better than that, no matter what the NCAA says.

Careful
some of us will never forget that second half. It ranks up there with the you-know-shot. Burned in my brain forever. I thought our team had “smoked” a few at half it was so strange. This UT performance was strange as well. I watched the last ten minutes only so can’t compare. I do think the Hamilton statemetn was criminal even in the circumstances.
Glancing in on Rocky Top Talk,
the anger is directed at Hamilton, not Pearl. Pearl had to be reveling in his misery because he has so many persecutors. I still don’t think he can survive a one year suspension if it happens.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
And if sddbaker comes over, be very
nice, I think she is out shopping for an AK-47.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
I was a casual observer. I posted no comments
just assessed the general mood. She mentioned in a post that if she had an AK-47 she would be shooting the place up. The only trolling I do is for big bass.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
That's OK, no offense was taken,
just trying to keep the record straight. Over on KSA trash talk is in full swing. Mocking UL for losing to Morehead. The way we played yesterday, Morehead would have probably taken us out as well. I do believe in Karma, I do, I do, I do.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
KSR advertises, UK news in the most ridiculous manner...ASoB for the discerning fan
I find both claims to be true both in articles and discussion. KSR…many, many comments come across as young, brash and foolish. IMO, KSR is not a site to have thoughtful comments and/or discussion.
However, there are some funny pictures like Pitino (KSR would write Fifteino) and the Card mascot with their heads in the hands together.
If there wasn't already a good enough case for Pearl's dismissal...
then I think today sealed the deal. Losing 8 of your last 12 games is bad enough. Getting absolutely humiliated in the round of 64 is inexcusable for a team that is as talented as UT can be.
I don’t see how they can justify keeping Pearl (or Hamilton for that matter) at the university considering the NCAA violations that have occurred there in recent times. UT’s athletic department is not in a good place, that’s for sure.
It isn’t going to hurt Bruce that bad in the end. Some desperate mid-major is likely to pick him up with a decent salary. It’s the school that’s going to have to suffer.

While looking in on Rocky Top Talk
I did not see a single post calling for Pearl’s head, in fact many of them want him to survive this. A few people there don’t see how he can but no one was defending the AD. They want him to take the fall for this.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
Well there is a coach that has all the looks and demeanor of Pearl - Oakland's coach
Don’t know about the sweating factor though.

We get the 1215 game tomorrow, nice
For us out of market folks that means that CBS won’t be able to switch to another game as we start blowing them away!
I think under the
four telecast system this year, they are staying with their games in their entirety and keeping you informed on the other games in case you want to switch to them. I like that and wonder how much the outrage from UK fans, and others I’m sure, angry because they switched away from their games in the past may have influenced or inspired that decision.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
I noticed during FLA's big runup yesterday
that they took some extended breaks and checked in on the other games, but they did keep coming back, although a few minutes game time were missed each time.
They have no excuse for doing that
while the game they promised is playing. I guess they will never learn their lesson.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
It wasn't a big miss that I saw
just an extended break from a media TO and then a stop at the “desk” for some scores and highlights. Went 45 sec – 1 min or so past in-bounds
George Mason making a nice comeback
It would be nice to see the Colonial League knock off the Big Bad East Conf. Also I sure would like to see Georgia win tonight. The only bracket I have left that still looks decent (only 3 misses) needs a Bulldog win today. Its been a bad year for the brackets.
goooooooooooo George Mason!
looooooooooooooooose Big East!

No matter where you're at, there you are

Memphis/Arizona
good game. My God the Tigers are fast.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
Just got in and in surfing around read at
Larry Vaught’s site that our three freshmen were watching the KY/WVA game together last year at the McDonald’s game. Karma anyone?
With the 1-3-1 defense WVU employs....
I would expect Uk to be able to find Josh and/or TJ open underneath.

No matter where you're at, there you are
Calipari v Huggins....Each team and season is different but this is troubling....
But in games between the two, Huggins holds an overwhelming lead, with an 8-1 mark. That’s certain to be topic heading into Saturday’s game at Tampa.
Calipari may need to get creative tomorrow so that Huggins isn’t just sitting there knowing everything he will do. This trend has to stop and I think it will.
Slower Traffic Keep Right!
Cal has changed his
tactics for this team so maybe that will throw Huggins off.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
I have always found it amazing how several games on different channels.....
with different start times can all be on commercial at the same time….I hate advertisers and ignore all ads
Slower Traffic Keep Right!
If a commercial
makes me laugh it would give an edge to that product if I were in the market for it. If a commercial irritates me, I will find a competitor to buy from.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
if i watch the commerical, i must be slacking....
as soon as the music queues up and the they flash the score, i am changing the channel. They take advantage of viewers.

seven and wineman
I record all tv on my DVR. Never watch commercials. I can record 2 and watch 1 at the same time. I have two systems in my family room. so I record 4 at once.
I like to laugh and
a few commercials are very good at comedy. Mostly I ignore them or change the channel. I am particularly irritated by the Bobby Hurley comfortable in my skin crap they are showing every few minutes.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
omg
I just saw that one for the first time a few minutes ago. Nauseating. Particularly the part about how "He succeeded because he “wanted” it more than the next guy". Please.
I have strange taste for comedy in commercials
One of my favorites was the one of two young adults on a bicycle built for two. The girl on the front seat had this gross arm pit hair which was close to 3’ long and it would whip back and smack her boyfriends face.
