pearl in the final 8

by **Eagledom** on Fri Mar 26, 2010 8:41 pm

The same bruce pearl that TWB, HJS, Pedro, talon and the other al apologists said wasn't any better than Al b/c he had never gone further than Al in the tourney. Looks like that argument is done....as is that crap argument about the "great record" in the acc. 1 sweet 16 in 14 years and there are still Al supporters out there...unbelievable. No wins in the tourney against higher seeds....crap recruiting....please take him st johns. Please take him just like NC State took our shitty football coach.

by **HJS** on Sat Mar 27, 2010 8:15 am

That was just in response to your posts regarding Skinner calling him a "dirty n*gger". I don't know how your racist ass didn't get banned for that. Whatever... your constant and disgusting racist comments are more damaging to BC than anything Al Skinner could ever do.

Now the King of Dicks is pretending he didn't love TOB while he was at BC. What a disgusting racist fuckstick.

for the record, i was the one that said dook wouldn't win the acc or move past the sweet 16. i think teddy just agreed with me.

as far as dook making the elite eight - teh tourney izzz random and they had a pretty easy route there. at the same time, i will admit i was wrong on both counts - but i really didn't see either happening.

Speaking of easy routes... West Virginia is in the Elite Eight and has yet to play a team who was SEEDED in the single digits (15th, 11th and 10th).

I was dead wrong on Duke, but in fairness I have them in my Final Four after seeing that shit bracket they were in. Had they been in a real bracket, I would have stuck with that statement. As it is, I will just win my pool after Kentucky cashes out for me.

hmmmm, let's see.....I didn't make up a lie. And I wasn't crying - I said I thought your little "racist" thing was funny - in a really weak, pathetic childish way. If you have nothing intelligent to say, just say I'm a racist.....now that's really bright.

It looks like WVU has now played a team in the single digits and is now in the final 4. DOH! You know your hero Al has only beaten a higher seeded team once in the post season while at BC and that was MD in the 2008 ACC tournie. Just sayin' is all. :ace

He beat UNC and they were a higher seed in 2006. Not defending Al, just stating facts.

I was thinking that the absolute best thing that could ever happen to NCAA football would be if during last night's game, if a sink hole developed under the arena and swallowed every single person on the court and sideline. Huggins and Calipari represent everything that is wrong and corrupt with college basketball. I would never ever want either stepping foot at BC... even to watch Logi return to Robsham in an encore performance as the title role in Madame Butterfly.

I believe homojs is the one that tossed WVU out there since they had caught some breaks leading into the elite 8, no?
I stand corrected #3 BC beat #2 UNC in 2006. Al has twice in 13 seasons beaten a higher seeded team. My fault. :ace

No one seed played any great teams until the Elite 8:

Kansas: 16, 9
Kentucky: 16, 9, 12
Syracuse: 16, 8, 5
Duke: 16, 8, 4

FWIW Duke has played just as hard of a path as any one seed. They've just gotten it done.

I mentioned it as an anectdote like... hey, isn't that strange? How many times has an Elite Eight team never played a team seeded higher than 10? It wasn't meant to be anything more than that. Unfortunately, the disciples of OJ have decided to make every BB-related remark a global statement on the shittiness of Al Skinner. Thus... the name hoop weirdos.

On an aside, I find it peculiar that the position which is widely held on this board... that Skinner has done a great job here at BC but has run its course and it is would be time to move on, but unfortunately our AD is incapable of hiring someone better... is so reviled by OJ's Kill Koach Klan starring the Logitano Army.

I do not believe it is widely held that Skinner has done a great job. I am trying to decide if you are eaglewings or sayso in this merryman scenario you have put yourself in. I am fairly certain you do not know what "reviled" means and 1 Big East title along with 1 sweet 16 in 13 seasons will never = great. Al had a very good staff and did some good stuff but the program has been going backwards since **** ******** was excused from playing hoops forever at BC.
I am fairly certain the next coach will do what the previous 4 coaches did before him and lead BC to some NCAA tournaments and perhaps this time even take us to the next level while getting people excited about BC basketball.
Based on Gene's original search for football HC where he basically could not have gone wrong with almost any one of the coaches he identified I am not afraid of Gene picking a hoops coach. However, if Gene picks wrong based on his ego over what is best for BC at the very least you would get the smug satisfaction of being right for the first time in all the years i have known you. This is a win-win for fans of Boston College and Homojs. :ace

Please stop with the Skinner is just as good as pear argument....its fucking stupid.

In four seasons at Tennessee, Pearl has led the Vols to an average of 24.5 wins per year, three SEC Eastern Division titles, an overall SEC championship, the school's first No. 1 national ranking, a school record 31 wins in 2007-08 and four straight trips to the NCAA Tournament--including back-to-back appearances in the Sweet 16. He has been named SEC Coach of the Year twice (2006 and 2008) and earned national coach of the year honors two times as well.

So in other words, he is awesome in the regular season, getting #1 rankings an two seeds and shit, but you, who relies on tourney performance, conveniently ignore the circumstances of his exits in those Sweet Sixteens. It also ignores the fact that he lost in the round of 32 with one of those 30 win, 2 seed teams. And the guy that looks for excuses to crap on Jags cites "Division Championships".

I'd say that this season is by far Bruce Pearl's finest performance, by the OJ standard. Prior to this season, he was Al Skinner, with weaker opponents and better talent. I will agree that Al has never had a season this good.

In four seasons at Tennessee, Pearl has led the Vols to an average of 24.5 wins per year, three SEC Eastern Division titles, an overall SEC championship, the school's first No. 1 national ranking, a school record 31 wins in 2007-08 and four straight trips to the NCAA Tournament--including back-to-back appearances in the Sweet 16. He has been named SEC Coach of the Year twice (2006 and 2008) and earned national coach of the year honors two times as well.

So in other words, he is awesome in the regular season, getting #1 rankings an two seeds and shit, but you, who relies on tourney performance, conveniently ignore the circumstances of his exits in those Sweet Sixteens. It also ignores the fact that he lost in the round of 32 with one of those 30 win, 2 seed teams. And the guy that looks for excuses to crap on Jags cites "Division Championships".

I'd say that this season is by far Bruce Pearl's finest performance, by the OJ standard. Prior to this season, he was Al Skinner, with weaker opponents and better talent. I will agree that Al has never had a season this good.

he has 3x more sweet 16s than Al in 1/3 the time....you can rationalize all you want, but that's not even close. As far as better recruiuts and higher seed...well, that's all part of being a good coach.

Jesus, its not even fucking close.
