The main reason I wish y'all had never had to get rid of Bruce was because I think instead of the SEC making UK-UF be the annual basketball rivalry, I'm almost 100% positive it would have been UK-UT.

shite UT/UF was also HUGE when I was at UT, almost as big as UT/UK. Bruce Pearl was just good for the SEC in general. The excitement he brought was incredible to see from where it was my first couple of years with Buzz Peterson. You could walk up to the game 30 minutes late and stroll down to the first few rows. Once Bruce got going, kids were camping out the night before to just get in to the big games and hours before the others.

The only reason I preferred the UK/UT to UK/UF or UT/UF is the fact that Billy Donavon is pretty dull. Calipari and Bruce are the exact opposites, which made it so much going back to when Cal was at Memphis.

I think that Memphis/UT game when they were #1 & #2 is still one of the highest rated regular season CBB games.
