Bama Game Thread: MBB IBOB2 Bama hosts Auburn - Sat Mar 7 - 7:30 CST ESPN

I couldn't watch this one, but it sounds like it was a thorough beat down until, as CNO said, we started watching the scoreboard in the 2nd half.

He's kinda like CNS, always looking for an angle of improvement. I like it!

Roll Tide Roll. 3 in a row in basketball and 6 in football!!!

That was a fun one. Great way to close out the regular season.

They showed that clip of Pearl Jr in the locker room pre game. His speech was so awkward and forced. It was not genuine at all. He will not last long.

Daddy Pearl played the barn by announcing his retirement when he did; knowing the timing would not allow a real search. Assuring his son got the job.

He tied the school’s hands as well as made sure no players could dip. And now they got what they got. We’ll see how many players take off when the door opens.

I wonder if Bruce Pearl realizes how much of a buffoon he is.

Ratted out a bunch of coaches when he was an assistant at Iowa. Permanently burned bridges in the coaching community.

Minor extra benefits at UTe -- a barbecue party at his house which impermissibly included recruits. But lied about it, pressured other to lie to cover his own lies, and worked with a recruit's father to get their stories straight. Got in far more trouble for the lie than he would have for just 'fessing up.

Got busted for failing to monitor his staff in a bribery scandal. Anybody who believes he wasn't part of the scandal or at least fully knew about it, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale, cheap. You know, for tax purposes.

Wanted his baby boy to get the barn job when he retired. Pressured the AD to promise that. AD told him to pound sand. Pearl then bent the AD over a barrel, resigned when all available candidates were preparing for their own seasons, and pretty much forced the AD to give the job to baby boy. The AD, no Rhodes Scholar candidate himself, responds with a 5-year contract.

Now retired, Pearl weighs in on the Alabama / Bediako / NCAA legal battle and says that Alabama should be banned from the NCAA tournament despite breaking no rules.

A short time later, Pearl admits to jobbing his employer by staging the whole transition of the barn coaching job so sonny boy could get it -- confessing to nepotism, including using that word.

You can't make that stuff up.

The shame is that he really is a good coach.

Think about how he also “jobbed” the players on this current team. He resigns just before practices open. Rosters were complete across the country. Those players had no option but to stay and play for “Sonny Boy”.

Bruce Pearl is so crooked he won’t need a coffin or a vault to bury him when he dies. They’ll just use a giant screwdriver and “screw him into the ground”.
