So apparently they have history dating back to Cal's time a Memphis? Also, I would think Pearl replacing Calipari's guy Barbee adds some additional fuel to the fire

Anyone else excited about seeing this rivalry renewed?

They hate each other. Cal is afraid of Pearl. Per Gary Parrish, it's a personal disdain. Much deeper than the Cal/Petino fued.

So now Auburn is on par with Kentucky in basketball? You guys act like Auburn is a historic basketball power that just needed the right man to bring them back.

Oh and I imagine Cal is pretty excited to know he will face Pearl at Auburn rather than one of the top SEC basketball schools.

Will Pearl be hired at UK when Cal is done?

Not at all, but I do like the thought of there being some beef between basketball coaches. The league has been so boring the past couple of years and it'll be great to have a coach like Pearl who can talk ish and back it up

I believe he's beat every SEC coach but Donovan

Yeah, I don't know the details? Just assumed it was local/rivalry type beef? Is there more to it?

Hmm, then it may be Cal? I remember reading yesterday he he's beat every SEC coach except 1 and I thought that coach was Donovan

He has beaten Cal a few times. Most notably when number 2 ranked Tennessee upset number 1 ranked Memphis at fedex forum.

If there's a coach in the SEC he's never beaten it's probably because he's never coached against him.

Yeah... a quick look at his wiki page would have told you he went 2-0 against BD in one of his championship years.

Hey now, don't call undecided out like that. He read something somewhere, assumed something and posted it freely right or wrong.

BTW - Congrats on a damn fine hire.
