Bruce Pearl, Freedom Fighter

At one time, Bruce Pearl was the buckets coach at UW-M.  He was very good at it; UW-M's program has not been nearly as successful since he left.

Now he's at Auburn; last year's record was 28-6.

More important:  Pearl has common sense.

...Pearl, 62, was ticked after the Michigan Democrat rudely replied to JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon during his testimony at an Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday in which the businessman said that divesting from fossil fuels is the “road to hell for America.”

Tlaib had asked Dimon if his bank had rules against investing in new oil and gas products. But Dimon was unequivocal, saying, “Absolutely not, and that would be the road to hell for America.”

The Democrat was furious over Dimon’s candor and blasted him, saying, “Sir, everyone that got relief from student loans [that] has a bank account with your bank should probably take out their account and close their account.”

Tlaib’s distempered reply sent Pearl off on a tangent, the New York Post reported.

“Like Gas Prices aren’t high enough?” the coach tweeted on Wed. “Is the Congresswoman from Michigan not at all concerned with how much it’s going to cost people to stay warm this winter? Let’s just let Russia and Iran take care of our fossil fuel needs?! A weaker USA is dangerous for the world!”...

Actually, Bruce, that's the point.
