Calipari, Pearl trade barbs
Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari said he "can't stand" the color orange. Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl said the road to the SEC championship goes through Knoxville -- again. It was obvious by the conclusion of the SEC Media Day on Thursday that rivalries between Tennessee and Kentucky as well as Pearl and Calipari are alive and well. As for the animosity between him and Pearl, Calipari said it stems from prior recruiting battles and competition. "He was trying to take over the state, and I wasn't going to let him," said Calipari. "I conceded the rest of the state other than Memphis."

I think a recruit who reads this and doesn't want to get into the middle of a pissing match between 2 grown coaches will find their way to UT.
And if a recruit who is too illiterate to read it, he will somehow get admitted to UK.

As long as Coach Cal doesn't get UK the death penalty, he shouldn't have to worry about UT. He will get the top recruits in a conference that only really cares about football and at least take UK to the Final 4 every year.

Cal might be a Richard but he can recruit... Just look at his class this year and I dont think Walls has been cleared to play yet.. He will brink UK titles if he can avoid the NCAA

If he starts Wall, they will have to vacate all of the wins. Who cares about wildcats and volunteers? Go HEELS!

I think the Vols will be better this year now that Bruce actually married Brandy and doesn't have to pay attention to her anymore, and can concentrate more on coaching. I think she was a distraction to him last season.
Understandable...

Calipari is a snake oil salesman and a dishonest guy who has lied and cheated his way to big time glory. There is hope for all of us. Pearl at Iowa snitched like a little girl in first grade on Illinois during recruiting so that says enough about his qualifications. Let the games begin and may the best liar cheat and crook win the recruiting wars. Good times ahead.
