That hideous picture right there, that’s Bruce Pearl, head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers basketball team. He decided it would be a good idea to go shirtless to the game to show the lady’s team his support. I personally believe in older, heavier-set men showing their support in other ways, but I guess his chest painted isn’t much more blinding than the orange blazer I’ve come accustomed to seeing.
The Lady Vols lost to Duke, 74-70, and how can you blame them: How’s a team of young, horny girls supposed to focus on basketball when a guy with Bruce Pearl’s rugged physique is shirtless? I’m hoping this loss cancels out any chance of Charlie Weis pulling a stunt like this at a basketball game.
