Rat are you really going there, are fucking kidding me you are a work of art.

Don use a guy death that you hardly know to talk trash on the message board, that is lower than low,

if my post really bother you that much you need to quit the message board all together and gt some clinical help

I really feel sorry for you and this will be my last post ever mentioning you in a negative way because you are a sick and twisted individual that needs some serious help.

Wake me when you make a point already not known. Fuckin retard.

There's a montage of pictures at the funeral home site. Looks like even a picture with him and Papa Hizzy. It's really sad and regretful that alot of us never got to meet him personally.

how about a link?

[Jungle Rat]

They added a link on his obituary page to the photo thing late today. I posted it in The Skid Mark. Oh wait, Im guessing you won't post there. Hizzy did. He never judged me.

Let's hope this is true......

Kentucky freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist set UK fans buzzing Saturday night with a comment about his future.

"I'm graduating here. I'm not going nowhere," Kidd-Gilchrist was quoted as saying by Brett Dawson of Rivals.com and other reporters who were present at the time after Saturday's game against Vanderbilt. "I'm staying at Kentucky."

When reporters chuckled, Kidd-Gilchrist then added: "I'm dead serious. I don't know why y'all laughing."

After fans and media members began exchanging views about the quote through social media, a post on Kidd-Gilchrist's Twitter account appeared, saying, "I'm going to do what's ever best for me," without specifically referencing his earlier comments.

Potential early entrants to the NBA Draft do not have to announce their decisions until April.

shit, I don't come here in a while and see that Hizzy's gone. wtf? was he sick? I recall some mention of health problems but nothing serious. damn, I will miss that guy. he was our Spock.

[Saint]

never would have picked Hizzy as the first of us to go. assuming gator is still alive (and that's never a sure thing), my money would have been on BRM for obvious reasons or goldie because his head would explode while watching a Carolina game.

[Saint]

just scrolled back and read posts after word broke. somehow I posted in the middle of it and didn't know until just a little while ago (about 11 p.m. EST saturday)

the funny thing is that photo of Hizzy is pretty much how I've always pictured him. still laugh remembering that story about the crackhead trying to buy rock from Hizzy and his friends in line at the Super Bowl years ago.

[Saint]

also, if he died on the 16th, he was posting on the 15th as if nothing was going on. damn, Hizzy, you sure did pull a good one over on us all.

Don't get too excited, crotch. Marvin Williams left Carolina after only one year, but he still comes back to Chapel Hill every off season to work on his degree. There's nothing in the US Constitution that I know of that would prevent Gilchrist from paying his own tuition in Lexington after he becomes a millionaire in June.

[Bklyn]

Yeah, Juwan Howard graduated on time from Michigan, Jordan ultimately graduated from UNC, Shaq from LSU and Wince Carter (notoriously) from UNC, too.

Kiddd-Gilchrist must've got a call from his mama after that statement...

[eCat]

actually I"m not surprised he said it.

Of course he isn't going to stay but DeMarcus Cousins did the same thing.

These kids get the rock star treatment at UK and if they excel on the court, they can do no wrong. Fan adoration, unlimited college girl poontang and first class facilities. Outside of the actual money they probably have it better than the pro's.

Cousins wanted to stay and Cal had to pull him aside and say "listen idiot, you aren't going to stay here just because 23K people chant your name twice a week, go make your millions".

Gilchrist is probably in the same situation.

Boy Mizzou and Ohio State are in nose dive. Okay so now where are we at?

#1) Kentucky
#2) Syracuse
#3) UNC
#4) Duke
#5) Michigan State
#6) Murray State
#7) Witchita State

...now it gets a little murky....

#8) Florida???
#9) Mizzou???
#10) Kansas???
#11) Temple???
#13) Baylor???

...now we are in WTF mode....

#13) Creighton???????
#14) St Louis????????
#15) Nevada????????
#16) VCU????????

#17) Marquette
#18) Harvard
#19) Belmont

#26) Oral Roberts
#27) Montana
#28) Middle Tennesee
#29) St Mary's

I think there is a 90% shot that the national champion comes from someone in the first two groups, (80% chance from the first group) but with VCU and Butler the last couple year, who the fuck knows???

[eCat]

right now the #1 are UK/Syracuse/Michigan St /Kansas

UNC and Duke combined have 6 wins against top 25 RPI. Michigan St has 7

[Jungle Rat]

Fuck Ohio State in the ear hole.

[BigRedMan]

Seconded.

And you wont' mention IU in the same group as Oral Fucking Roberts???

[eCat]

well I got crap seats - big shock eh? to the final four. While I'd love the atmosphere, I don't love New Orleans enough to go there and enjoy it while the event I'm actually going for is secondary so I'm going sell my tickets at face value

4 tickets - $698.

I also have a hotel reservation in Gretna at a La Quinta Inn for $99 a night if you want me to work some arrangement on that.

I don't expect any takers on here but I'd put them out there anyways.

[innocentbystander]

Seconded.

Fine. You make a list.

Look, I am going to be in Nevada 3 Saturdays from now, sitting in a sportsbook, trying to make some money. Give me some mid-majors that will take down the heavies, and I will bet them. Give me this year's VCU (might very will be VCU.) Give me this year's Butler. Give me this year's Cornell. Give me this year's Richmond Spiders. Maybe that team IS Oral Fucking Roberts? Who could say? It is a total craps shoot Red Man.

If you can sell just two I think I can take them. Let me clear it with Mrs Fife tonight and I can probable let you know tomorrow. The chance is of course if Ky makes it. I've already paid for hotel.
