Orange Light Special, Aisle Four.
Hello, Vol Mart shoppers, we have a special on one redeemed basketball coach over here on aisle four.
Bruce Pearl has had a rough few months. By now you have heard about all the recruiting violations, Bruce lying and then telling the truth about them, the punishments that Bruce has received for them and now its time for everyone to forgive him for them.
A lot of Tennessee fans might have already forgiven him. For those that were holding out, Bruce did what he does best on Monday.
He marketed himself as he always does. He symbolically climbed up on the lunchroom tables all over again and in one 33 word sound byte (which actually wasn’t supposed to be one since he had already asked for cameras to be turned off), he endured himself to any remaining Tennessee fans that were trying to find a reason to not like him as much as they did when he was taking the Vols to the Elite Eight last season.
“I’ve made mistakes, I clearly did, but what I was hoping for was that some other dumbass would get on the front page and take me off the hook,” Pearl said.”I miss Lane Kiffin.”
Bruce Pearl is not only my “homeboy”, he is a genius.
He couldn’t have done a better job at getting on a Vol’s good side if he bought Johnny Majors a round, told Kelley Washington that he is the greatest, handed Peyton Manning another Super Bowl ring, or told Pat Summitt that Geno Auriemma just retired.
Kiffin is still and will forever be public enemy number one for Vol fans. By invoking his name, and while doing so taking a shot at him, Pearl cemented himself as a Vol. He made it clear that he is “one of us”.
Not bad for a guy who has lied, been fined, and been suspended in the last few months.
Now the question is who’s buying?
