Title: Kentucky is preseason AP #1... Post by: Creek Walker on October 31, 2013, 10:17:07 EDT Florida (#10) is the only other SEC team in the poll.
Bruce Pearl tweets this: "The biggest surprise and mistake in the AP Poll? @Vol_Hoops not listed! That's ok, Coach Martin's teams play better mad!#norespect" I'm consistently amazed that a former coach who was fired from a school can handle it with as much class and character as Pearl has. He's been super supportive of Cuonzo and the hoops program. Btw, Memphis is #13 in the preseason poll. Keep a close eye on the Tigers this year. Some folks think that if they crash and burn this year, Pastner will be fired and replaced with Pearl. I wouldn't bet against it. Pearl is cozying up to the powerbrokers in the Memphis program and it would be a great fit for him. I would hate to see it (hopefully UT's rivalry with Memphis would forever end), but I would prefer that to Pearl winding up at an SEC school. Title: Re: Kentucky is preseason AP #1...

I love Bruce and wish the absolute best for him, but I hope like hell that Memphis is not where he lands. Not the SEC, and not Memphis. Anywhere else, Bruce, and I will root for you to succeed.

They already own Shelby county; with Bruce, they would own the entire state. Title: Re: Kentucky is preseason AP #1...
