Bruce Pearl's Ties Are Entirely Too Long


The Tennessee coach is a pretty dapper guy. I'm a big fan of the orange suspenders he frequents. But, Bruce - bubby - come on. What's with the ties that come down to the crotch? Top of the belt buckle, no longer. Even with suspenders on (and, subsequently, no belt), the same rules apply. Bruce... You're better than that.
(Update -- 11:26 p.m.) I've been thinking that Tennessee was going to be my pick to win it all for the past month, but after watching the ridiculously stupid way they closed their loss tonight at Vanderbilt, I'm feeling a lot less comfortable. Terrible shot selection, poor defensive decision making and a general sense of uneasiness in the clutch. Chris Lofton is a great player, but sometimes he takes shots that would make Greivis Vasquez say, "yo, dawg..." Also, congratulations to the SEC officials who let this game go on until 11:freakin:30. You know you don't need to call a foul every time opposing players make contact, right?
Also, you know what's not fun? Cops surrounding a court so college students can't storm said court after beating the #1 team in the country. Doesn't the Nashville Police Department remember what happened in
Die Hard 3 when all the cops were focused on the school bomb threat, thus leaving Simon Gruber and his cronies to rob the Federal Reserve with ease? It must've been Christmas in Nashville tonight with all the police guarding the dangerous student body from running on the hardwood floor. Commendations for all!)
