I'm glad that Auburn won. First and foremost, I can't stand UNC. Second, it makes me feel slightly better about our loss. The way they played, they might win it all. Third, I guess I still like Pearl in some way.
But man does it make me that much more pissed that he lied to the NCAA.
There was a UK homer on talk radio the other day who rated the SEC coaches. He had Calipari first, of course, followed by Pearl. I can't recall who was third, but he had Barnes fourth. He's crazy. Pearl is, unfortunately, hands down the best coach in the conference. Calipari does less with more talent than any coach in America. I'm glad we have Barnes but what might have been if Pearl had stayed....
