The media response to Bruce Pearl’s shirtless, bodypainting display Monday night has been positively overwhelming. The former UW-Milwaukee coach sure knows how to win over the masses. We actually loved the stunt. It really showed us Pearl isn’t just a man who sweats through suits … but he is a man’s man, a guy who paints his chest orange and rocks a headband for the greater good of the school.

You know, he’s such a fantastic human being that if we worked with him and he traded up jobs from a mid-major to a major program, we would totally follow him. Can’t speak for really hot blondes on this topic … perhaps somebody knows one to ask? Maybe Bruce knows one?

Bruce Pearl is a great person (Sportable)
