Media really going after the SEC (minus UK) hard. Very strange!

Well when you hire a guy who is coming off a show cause, and you catch another one on audio tape making an offer to a recruit, you kind of make yourselves low hanging fruit.

If the UNC scandal happened at Kentucky or Zion Williamson ended up at Kentucky the media would’ve wanted Calipari’s head.
ESPN literally made a one-and-done 30 for 30 movie that was essentially a 90 min propaganda piece for the UK program under Calipari.
Stop it.

Not sure how what Pearl did 7 years ago makes him the rot of college athletics compared to, oh, I don't know, Pitino.
Sounds like sports media is as bad as political media these days.
All bout the clicks.

Bruce much like all D-1 coaches isn't squeaky clean, but throwing him in with the likes of Wade or the dude from Arizona or any of the others getting the big time talents is ridiculous...what's his highest rated signee?

Heron.
7 of the top 10 signees Auburn has ever had have been Bruce’s kids, though. 4 of them are still on the roster, with Okoro coming in next year.
If we somehow reel in Sharife, he would become our highest rated signee.

The next good woman college basketball writer will be the first. She's as sanctimonious as Dana O'Neil, never mind that Duke and North Carolina are as dirty as a Robert Kraft received handy at a massage parlor.

This is not to be confused with the corruption investigation that resulted in the suspension of another Pearl assistant, Ira Bowman, earlier this month.
But, hey, how about those SEC titles and improved attendance!
What the hell does Ira Bowman have to so with Pearl or Auburn?
ETA: Her intentional insinuation that Pearl or Auburn had anything to do with what Ira Bowman may have done at PENN pisses me off.

Her column Friday was an unfair, unbalanced ambush that is a personal attack on someone the Auburn Family loves and appreciates for many more reasons than what she can see from an office hundreds of miles away.
Not in the South
Armour would have other reasons to have a hard time finding popularity in the South without bashing one of Tennessee’s and Auburn’s all-time favorite coaches.
Take for example her March 14 column: “It's time to stop playing national anthem at sporting events.”
In it, she writes: “Playing the anthem before our football, baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer games has become a lazy excuse for patriotism. Standing at attention – or a loose approximation of it – for 2 minutes no more proves love of country or gratitude for those who serve than wearing an American flag pin does.”
That kind of thinking doesn’t fly well in the conservative and patriotic Bible Belt.
Meanwhile, repentance means changing one’s ways, not just going oops, I got caught, and seeking forgiveness. It means change.
Whether more through personal values or more through a deep, burning passion for the game, Bruce Pearl does not want to ever again risk being separated from it. His heart beats in cadence with the dribble of the ball on the court.
He has a wonderful wife, a loving family, a grounded spiritual faith, and even part ownership of a local business, but college basketball is this man’s mojo.
quote:
Eh, they might say, just a local-yocal, hometown newspaper editor trying to stand up for his coach?
Damn right.
Bruce Pearl isn’t just my team’s coach, nor my community’s most lively spokesman, nor one of our state’s most active civic citizens.
He is my friend. And a friend to many others around these parts.
Nancy Armour’s column without fresh substance tearing down a man on one of his biggest days symbolizes the rot in mainstream media.
College basketball is fortunate to have Bruce Pearl in the game.
But not nearly as fortunate as the Auburn Family to have him as one of us, win or lose on the court.
Until someone has something to prove we should feel otherwise, perhaps you people who want to tear down a man’s reputation for the sake of a hot read should instead have a job digging up scoops of something that smells as bad as your writing.
