Dark Secrets: An Alternate Ending To the Bruce Pearl Saga

Read this article in order to comprehend what follows.

We pick up the story at halftime of Sunday's game. Kentucky is holding onto a slim lead.

--------------------------------------------------

Erin Andrews: Coach, how do you explain your team's staying in this game despite a seeming lack of real effort or urgency on the court?

"Bruce Pearl":



Erin Andrews:

Gillespie: And there he goes to the locker room. If he does what I tell him to do, the Volunteers have no chance in the second half.

"Bruce Pearl": Geez, what am I gonna do to motivate these kids? They're flat out on the court. Let's see, what can I play that they know and like...I know! That awesome bohemian rock opera song. I'll show them how with it I am!

"Bruce Pearl": (walks into the player's room) Guys, you looked a little flat out there. I know you're nervous because of what's at stake. Not to worry, all you need is to calm the nerves a bit before the second half. And I've got just the thing. Okay, here goes:



The Volunteers leave the locker room uplifted, clear-minded, and ready to run through a wall. They proceed to shoot 30-for-34 in the second half, force 20 turnovers, and hit, like, 12 straight three-pointers en route to a 32 point clobbering of Kentucky.


Gillespie: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Billy Gillespie then confronts "Bruce Pearl" outside the stadium.

Gillespie: What the hell was that out there? You were supposed to ruin them! You were supposed to help us win!

"Bruce Pearl": Yeah, except for one thing...this is my team.

Gillespie: Huh?

"Bruce Pearl" peels off his mask to reveal the actual Bruce Pearl.


Pearl: SURPRISE BITCH! Did you really think I was going to miss this game?

Gillespie: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! But how did you pull this off? I heard the hand-fart thingy!

Pearl: Let's just say I'm a quick learner. Aaaaaaaaaannnd I had a boom box behind the whiteboard.

Gillespie: But, wait...If you're here...and you've been in this building the whole time...then..who do we have tied up in the van?!?

--------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in the van...

"Bruce Pearl": (makes fart noises with hands for help)

Van Driver: Whoa, man! What the hell's wrong with you? That's it, man. No more microwave burritos!

Van Accomplice: I'm not doin' it, you're doin' it!

Driver: No you're doin' it!

Accomplice: No you're doin' it!

A slapfight ensues in the van for the next half hour.

The End.
