I don't know what Carl is thinking. I mean, X is gonna play unless he phones it in during practice or half-asses it on D. And by all accounts, he's a hard worker. Although whether he likes it or not, it's gonna be Sherron's team. X and daddy better get used to that. The CJ thing is a mystery. Carl was quoted as saying something like "Sherron and Tyshawn are nice players, but CJ is better." I'm sure CJ is better than Collins, an all-american candidate, and Taylor, who's getting a ton of first round draft buzz based on his play at the USA team tryouts. Especially since CJ hasn't played in a game in like 5 years. If CJ moves on, wouldn't he have to sit out a year?

Or not. Now it's being reported he'll stay with Kansas, and that's that. Whatever. I'll believe it when I see him suited up.

Both, I think. I think they'll go to UK, and it all smells a little shady to me. Since he couldn't sign an LOI, the Henrys are free to go wherever they want as long as they haven't set foot in a classroom. The prevailing opinion is that he agreed to go to KU assuming Meeks was going to return from UK. When Meeks stayed in, he and Cal started talking again, and now he's thinking UK again. I think the dad has been drumming up controversy to smokescreen his way out of his commitment and make his family look like the victim. And that's what pisses me off the most. Especially since he and his wife went to KU, and the dad played there. Crappy way to treat your own alma mater. It's a bummer, because it likely takes us out of the running for the national championship. And it's not hard to believe Cal has been angling for this, beginning with when he ran off Pilgrim to open a scholly. At this point, though, I just want it to be over. I'm sick of reading about this and hearing all the whining--from the Henrys, the KU fans, the UK fans. The KU board is awful right now-- like 10 times worse than an NSBB game thread where we're losing to StL. Ugh.

I feel bad for that dude.

Until he's re-figured it out, I don't want to see Marmol pitching again unless were up by 5 or down by 5.

This is all on Lou for continuing to use a guy who walks everyone he faces in late, close ballgames.

haha, why do I watch these games

I can't stand watching Marmol pitch anymore.

I think you're way off Ping. I highly doubt he was forced out. And it's even less likely there are other walkons better than him.

lol Demarre Carroll as a 1st rounder

taj gibson?

Right, having Michael Jordan involved with the U of I program was an awful thing. I with Jeff would have kept playing, but understand him not wanting to do so. He probably wanted to keep playing but there wasn't room for him. It's a polite way of saying, "we have someone better than you but we need that back to get him, you're probably better off leaving gracefully." Every team does it, it's just funny how some sugarcoat it as it's better than getting cut. Also, you're lying to yourself or for some reason I can't figure out a Jeffrey Jordan fan b/c he wasn't very good. If I was an Illini fan, I would be pleased that the scholly might go to someone more useful than someone who's there b/c of his father. What limited action he had that I seen, he wasn't very good. Do you have me foed? No, should I? What you said was completely different than that phony statement was that made to the press yesterday about wanting to concentrate solely on academics. I'm sure they told him what you said as far as needing that scholly for another player, but what was said to the public was different. I guess I'm confused. How would yanking his hoops scholly affect whether he stayed with the team? He could have remained as a preferred walkon. According to SSR, he has an academic scholly. And even if he didn't, I think MJ could scrape together instate tuition. Unless I'm misunderstanding the situation, it seems pretty obvious he didn't want to continue playing, not that he was forced out.

for a guy who's been around baseball for 1000 years, Hawk is complete shite at reading balls off the bat, too. There were at least a couple times he got all jacked when a Sox player hit the ball thinking it was a sure hit when it was an obvious can of corn. Dude is easily the worst in the business.

BEARS: 1 BULLS: 6 KANSAS: 2, though the first predated my fanhood

the game between those two could be epic this year.

I've been trying to tell you that Reesing sucks for a couple years now. That's not Reesing. That person is at least 5 inches taller than Todd.

Just when you thought you couldn't hate Mizzou football anymore, someone snaps a shot of a player trying to get a Blow-j from a little kid. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v604/snoodmonger1/Picture1-1.png

lol@ Kobe rushing in acting tough after the refs separated everyone.

"if i had five trevor arizas i'd be just fine"

i feel like i've hated derek fisher all my life

haha, i can't stand looking at him.

if the magic dont win this in reg, they'll lose the game. Give it to Hedo.

jeebus

Either Fisher or Ariza for the tie. That's what I'm calling.

The rule where the second foul in the last 2 minutes initiates the bonus is really lame. How does that reward a team that's played good defense for the entire quarter?
