Oh, there is so much wrongness going on in that Tweet. First, why was Pearl fired?? What, do you live under a rock? That's akin to someone coming up to you and asking "why was Reagan president?"
Next, he was fired for allegedly lying to investigators? No honey baby, that was an absolute damned fact he was lying to the NCAA.
So now we wait and see what the official penalties and sanctions will be for the Vols. Just because Bruce is gone doesn't mean they are off the hook.
We're not ones to start or flame unfounded rumors...
Oh who are we kidding, yes we are! But there is some serious chatter out there that as soon as the Volunteers get bounced out of the Tournament Bruce is gone baby gone.
More to report soon.
O'Neill was reinstated Monday because his team got picked to be in the NCAA Tournament. Prove us wrong.
Kevin O'Neill, USC's currently suspended basketball coach will be officially relieved of his duties on Monday, March 14th according to sources close to the program (which means it's true). O'Neill and his crazy ass wife got into a fight with an Arizona fan at a Marriott bar. Both O'Neill and his wife were intoxicated.
This ends the strange sad affair of a man who was fucked over by former Arizona coach Lute Olsen, stumbled into the gig at Southern California, was so-so there and now potentially unemployed. C'est la vie.
As in Pat Knight needs to watch the want ads for a new job.
Yeah, he's out at Texas Tech. That was a mercy killing. Bye bye, coach.
UPDATE: Wow guys, the body is not even cold. Why do you want to scare Marquette like that?
SDSU coach Fisher was chastised by the Mountain West for calling shit like he saw it in the firing of former Wyoming coach Heath Schroyer:
"For a coach to be fired with six weeks to go in the season is inexcusable," Fisher said. "We talk to our players about commitment, not cutting and running, and yet when things go south a little bit, often our administrators say, 'What do we do to please our biggest donor or the perception standpoint?'"
We still felt that he should have been fired, but agree that the timing left much to be desired.
After compiling an impressive 49-68 record and regularly getting shellacked by opponents Wyoming gave their head coach the boot last night. Heath Schroyer is officially out.
And to think we actually gave them a little love last week.
Beyond the Arc's Mike Miller gives a wonderful explanation on why no one will ever want that coaching gig. From a sucky city to apathetic fans people tend to leave, not come to Laramie. Good luck with that one, Cowboys.
Seton Hall coach Bobby Gonzalez has been fired today. The Pirates went 19-14 and lost the first round of the NIT against Texas Tech.
Plus their players were punching people in the nuts.
Different Glen Miller
Pennsylvania has had enough after a 0 to 7 start and gives Glen Miller the ax.
It seems they aren't shedding any tears about this either.
Let the coaching carousel begin!
Dennis Wolff has been fired after 15 seasons as head coach at Boston University.
Boston University finished at 17-13 this season, bringing Wolff's record to 247-197 since he took over the team for the 1994-95 season.
We don't expect many more firing to happen until after Selection Sunday. This isn't college football you know.
That is how our workday has been going. Which has been prohibitive to our true love, talking with nameless, faceless internet people who stumble upon our corner of the world.
So just a quick update for now, and maybe some more tonight depending on how the games go.

Louisville / Tennessee... Feel the excitement as two equally matched teams fight for mediocrity.
As for the rest of the games?
Did we put this here because there will be blood? No. Because it's all about DRRRRRRAAAAAAAINAGE!?!?! Nope. Because it's all about who's straw will drink who's milkshake from acrrrrooossss the room.
THEY DRINK IT UP!!!!
And finally, another coach goes down as Ben Braun gets his golden ass booted from Cal.
Ok, that could be considered DRRRRRRAAAAAAAINAGE!!!!
It's the time between the end of the conference tourneys and the beginning of March Madness. The 3 day lull that gives ADs a chance to exact revenge...
It's firing season!
TCU coach Neil Dougherty? Your time is up.
Toledo's Stan Joplin? Your pink slip has been delivered.
Tim Welsh of Providence? Dunkin' Donuts is hiring:
Rice's longtime coach Willis Wilson? Your services are no longer needed.
Idaho's George Pfeifer, you are the weakest link. Goodbye!
Ahhhhh, I love the smell of charred jobs in the morning. Smells like, failure...
Also, the hype is already beginning for the Beasley Mayo show this coming Thursday.
