Ostensibly Hoops

yep, he'll make some cash.

[Jungle Rat]

The Lakers aren't serious about winning.

[Saint]

Where did these draft picks come from? I didn't recognize a single name selected.

[eCat]

you would have recognized UK's except they were our bench players

[Tree]

WTH are the Lakers doing? Is Lebron blackmailing them? This is a disgrace. Kobe is rolling over in his grave.

[sardis]

Why don't you go calm him down.

[eCat]

how many days until College Football starts?

Kerr Krissa - apparently the guy is a giant ass, but he is now UK's giant ass and the fans will love him.

Here is the players predicting the score of playing Coach Pope one on one.

Watch Krissa's comments at the end

So, it seems as though that dirty Polack, Kyle Filipowski. has a 26/27 year old gold digger girlfriend who has been dating him since he was a senior in high school. She is now a Bama grad working in RTP as an "executive assistant," and they claim to have met through "mutual friends" despite the fact that he is from a small town 75 miles from NYC and attended boarding school in Massachusetts. When they "met" she was still in Louisiana after having attended LSU for a Masters or some such, and then she moved to NC for her job in RTP. The word is that his family despises her and that the basketball staff / program / team hate her because she is causing all sorts of shit by filling his head with bullshit. Here's to hoping this gets extremely messy and extremely public!

He got picked up by the Utah Jazz. Seems a good fit. The LDS thing never bothers them.

Okay, yeah, she was born in 1997 and he was born in 2003. At 16, he took her to prom or something or other when she was 22. Yeah, perhaps she pursued him because she was digging for future gold. But she is 26 now and he's 20 (going on 21 real fast) so there is not much his mother or his brother can say or do. He appears to be brainwashed. She is BEAUTIFUL. Of course he going to want to fuck that. And when you are 16 (likely a virgin) and your hormones are in hyperdrive and this super hot 22 year old Mormon girl is throwing her panties at you, you can't resist.

Not getting drafted 13 and sliding all the way to pick 32 (second pick, second round) that cost him (possibly) $15 million. That is assuming that all the other NBA teams didn't want to risk all the drama associated with this. I can't say I blame them.

[Tree]

He’s weak, decent quickness and post moves at the college level but will be behind in the pros. If he can shoot the three like Hedge said maybe that will help him get minutes, but my overall take on him is not too good.

[Dave23]

Beautiful? She’s an Ole Miss 4, tops.

[innocentbystander]

I'm sorry Dave, but if I'm not mistaken, Mississippi has the HIGHEST rate of morbid obesity of all 50 states. So, a 4 at Ole Miss, is probably not saying all that much other than she can't stay away from the Waffle House or the deep fryer.

[Dave23]

I can find at least 200 hotter in The Grove on Gameday…before noon…without a lot of effort.

But you go on thinking you’re right…

[Dave23]

And, to be fair…I could do the same in Nashville, or Tuscaloosa, or Gainesville, or Fayetteville…or just about any other SEC city.

I can find at least 200 hotter in The Grove on Gameday…before noon…without a lot of effort.

But you go on thinking you’re right…

Well I do know numbers on demographics. Mississippi is pretty much dead last in all positive demographic ratings when comparing the states and right at the top for all the bad statistics. I suppose part of the admission process of getting into Ole Miss includes posting your picture to make sure you are a hot enough girl to attend. But I somehow think that might not be the case.

I would agree that a 4 at the University of Florida and UCLA, that might be saying something. Ole' Miss? Not so much. But this girl (at 22) was probably "hot" for a Mormon girl the way Katherine Hiegl and Amy Adams (both Mormons) were very hot at 22.

[Dave23]

Once again, you are wrong.

[innocentbystander]

Sure Dave. Whatever. I know state demographics. I know math. You believe whatever you want.

[Tree]

But is your math at the PhD level like your history and poli-sci?

[Dave23]

I’ll stick with facts.

[innocentbystander]

You'll stick with facts? Sure. Here are some facts.

Mississippi has:

The highest poverty rate in the US (without adjusting for cost of living), with nearly 1/5 of the population living in poverty,
The lowest median household income in the country,
High rates of both food insecurity and obesity,
The highest homicide rate among states,
The highest infant mortality rate in the nation, and
The highest percentage of adults foregoing health insurance on account of cost.
You put that all together and there are a lot of factors negatively pulling on life expectancy.

Someone has to be last. That is Mississippi. Sure hope those Ole Miss gals are as hot as you claim they are. As for the rest, stick whatever facts you might think are important wherever you want to put them. Just do not challenge me on math or data.
