It’s Good to Be: Tennessee Basketball Player Steven Pearl (Bruce Pearl’s Son)
College Basketball February 9th. 2010, 12:20pm
A reader stumbled across this pretty sweet Facebook photo of Tennessee basketball player Steven Pearl – coach’s son, averaging 7.7 minutes per game – getting handsy with a dasiy duke-wearing UT coed who appears to be downing a shot at a Knoxville drinking establishment. The photo reminded us of what young Pearl told SI back in 2007:
“I’m not ashamed to say it: if girls want to go for my last name instead of my looks, then hey, that’s how they feel … You’ve got to watch everything you do, you can’t slip up. When you go out you can’t really have as much fun as other kids. You’ve got to watch what you’re doing and be careful and you have to watch the people you’re with.”
Just for the record, we don’t consider this a “slip-up.” College kid, having fun, much ado about nothing. Just a neat photo. He’s better off making things happen at a bar than hanging out with these misfits.

Nice to see Brooke Hundley in the background.

Hundley in that pic looks like she’s been working out.

Is this Facebook invasion of privacy day?

As a parent of a young daughter, I have reached the tipping point where those kind of pics just freak me out. Depressing on multiple fronts.

I don’t get the thought process of Facebook and privacy, you post shit on the Internet it’s fair game. You know where pictures won’t be seen by complete strangers? Still on your phone/memory stick/camera.
February 9th, 2010 at 12:47 pm
Agreed.

I posted this in the last thread, but if it was illegal to post shit from facebook, Lamebook would;ve been shut down a long time ago.
Also, if you dont want people to see your shit, do what Bulldog said.

Did he post this though? Is Bruce Pearl’s son not allowed to go outside?
/doesn’t really give a shit

Bulldog: then just post your real name, address, and phone number here for the two of us to see

I don’t have a FB account so I don’t know how it works exactly, but isn’t there a way to secure it to where only a select group of people can see your shit?
February 9th, 2010 at 12:53 pm

It’s a little different to post some photo of yourself making out with a d00d (i.e. Coop) and to post your address and phone # online. If you post a dumb photo of yourself online, don’t be angry when someone brings up how stupid it is and shares it with others.
February 9th, 2010 at 12:54 pm
I would, but I don’t really exist.

Which is why one of Brooke Hundley’s “friends” had to send TBL her facebook page.

already been to the new Busch stadium. Beautiful with an awesome view of the arch.
February 9th, 2010 at 12:56 pm

Wow, the worst photos of each of them, too. She looks like a fucking Alien.
February 9th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Ha — not quite, Clown.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:00 pm
damn, that must have totally slipped past TBL.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
An Interesting Thought that I’m not sure has been brought up before is in whose Albums are they being posted. 95% of my photo’s on Facebook, I don’t take myself and are posted by someone else, and I’ve gone through their albums and not even realized I was tagged/not tagged in some photos. Now I try to not do anything stupid when a camera is around but that is a something we don’t consider is who is really posting the pics.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
Yes. But all of that fails when you get your picture taken and someone else puts it on their account.
So in other words, you still have no privacy.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:02 pm
it’s easy to ignore when you see the computer screen through tears of jealousy.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
I might be able to do that. I’d have to spend some $ though by flying in to NYC, but I’ve always wanted to go there.
Re: Facebook privacy
You can untag yourself in other people’s photos, but it is difficult because they can randomly pop up. Also, regardless if you’re tagged or not, if someone just posts an album and you’re in it, it’s pretty obvious it’s you in most of those pics. You can set your profile to private all you want, but non-friends and others can see your pictures on someone else’s profile.

i love lamebook some of the shit that happens on there when mom’s comment is hilarious. such as this. http://www.lamebook.com/tuesday-typohs-11
February 9th, 2010 at 1:13 pm
NDub – you still in Detroit?
February 9th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
I’ll take the train down for that, as long as rooting for the Yanks isn’t a pre-requisite.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:18 pm
Now THAT was funny!
I thought people only used Facebook to see who from their HS got fat and/or had ugly kids?

Hilarious!
February 9th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
It’s just snow. You don’t need to stock up canned goods and toilet paper. Ye Gods, you East Coasters are pussies.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
I’m in Georgia. About an hour south of the A.
I was never in Detroit but in NE Indiana until November.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
No kidding. Didn’t DC, Philly, Baltimore et al all shut down last weekend because of the snow? There’s a blizzard here in Chicago but you can guarantee people weren’t allowed to be even 5 minutes late to work today.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:43 pm
I’m in Lexington, which shuts down over 2 inches of snow.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:47 pm
when i lived in the midwest we walked both ways to work up hill. No one was ever late due to weather even when there were blizzard conditions.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
35 degrees or less, schools(in my day) close in New Orleans.
Fuck snow.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
Ndub isn’t from Michigan?
February 9th, 2010 at 1:53 pm
Didn’t 600 or so people die in Chicago when they had a few consecutive days of 95+ degree weather? Not every locale can deal with every type of weather. It just doesn’t work that way.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Yeah, they shut down schools at 5 p.m. the day before we were supposed to get two inches of snow in early January here in central GA. I giggled. Then I woke up the next morning, saw no snow or even precipitation, went for a run in shorts and a hoodie and was at work by 9 a.m.
Apparently, they don’t have snowplows here, so I guess that’s sort of understandable.

February 9th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
why would southern states spend thousands of dollars on snow clearing equipment and labor when it’s only a problem a handful of days per year?
February 9th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
NDub was morning in Michigan and moved to NE Indiana when he was 8. NDub was and has always been a UM and Detroit pro teams fan, though. Now, NDub lives in middle GA because he found a big boy job.

February 9th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
There’s no reason to. That’s why when that snow actually hit the A, it was bad because apparently the city has like two plow trucks. I’ve been told by the locals that it snows here once every 5-6 years. It barely sticks but if it does, it’s melted by noon.
February 9th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Shit.
*born
I have no idea how I messed up those words.
February 9th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Apparently, they don’t have snowplows here, so I guess that’s sort of understandable.
NDub: They still have chain gangs down there, don’t they? Put them to work with a shovel
