Did we really need this?
 

Coach of Tennessee's men's team, supporting the women's team:

Any chance Pat Summitt would come out like that for a men's game? :eek:

Yikes - I hope not!! Isn't this the same guy who has been tossed from some HS games???

Thanks, Scrappy - I was just getting ready to go get some lunch, but it appears I've lost my appetite.

Only in the ....wait for it.....SEC.

I really didn't like having to see the picture, but I will say it's pretty cool of a D1 Men's coach to do something like that.

The man has some stones, I think. :)

Would a coach that is willing to do something like this, and win some games, be more attractive to recruits?

He'd have to strip a little further down to know for sure...

Uh-oh, someone call security. The wimmens is gettin' restless...

:p

I think it is awesome!

Maybe that was Chuck in disguise...

Well, when you're trying to put a team on kids' radars against the Dukes/UNCs/Kansas'/UCLAs of the world, I guess you gotta give it a shot.

But since Tennessee lost, they probably won't let him do it again.

This guy obviously has NOTHING to hide and A LOT to quite proud of!! Wait a second . . . is that a picture of ME?? Darn it . . . I knew those honeymoon pictures would come back to haunt me . . . :p

The Mark Cuban of the NCAA WITHOUT a lot of money. No pun intended!:cool:

I saw an interview Bruce Pearl had on Cold Pizza a few days ago. He said he made a comment about doing this on his radio show and someone called him on it. I guess he showed up with some of his players and his son. I think it is kind of cool that a coach of his stature would do something like this. BTW, he checked it out with the administration before doing this. So this was something Tennessee agreed to. I think he might win a recruit or two by doing this if you ask me.

Peace

There was also a player waiting in the wings to take over the role of the "V" and Pearl left 5 minutes in so he wouldn't be a continued distraction. By halftime he was showered and interviewed.

I went to Tennessee for grad school and the men's program lives in the shadow of the women's program there, so it's darned cool that Pearl and his players supported the women. And Pat Summitt gave him a kiss on the cheek before the game. I'd like to see the women support the men, and maybe they will, but I doubt they will in the same way.

And then UT fell behind 19-0. Came back to tie. And lost.
