Seven who threatened ref after Kentucky's Elite Eight loss ID'd

no one is saying they didn't do it....or admitting they did it but they shouldn't be punished

Well, they broke the rules, Carolina didn't. You call it a technicality, but that's just like saying if the cops bust down somebody's door without cause or a warrant and they find some drugs, it's just a technicality if their victims get off. But rules of procedure and the Constitution aren't technicalities. You don't just get to make it up as you go, arrest whoever you want for whatever reason, and then cry "technicality" when that shit gets thrown out...

Look at it like this, eCat: UNC is the folks at Ruby Ridge, the NCAA is the government...

UK is like the Branch Davidians. They crossed Janet Reno, they got incinerated for their insolence.

that's not even close to the right analogy

a better one is this

that is what Carolina has resorted to..the "wasn't me" defense

The FBI bravely sniper'd Randy Weaver's son, wife and dog, but at least they let Weaver live.

The NCAA will do the same for a UNC.

Crotch will appreciate this:

"It was fantastic to hear their pitch. Their pitch was basically that they don't want to grow guys. They want to get them in, get them out and continue their reputation of getting guys to the NBA."

Heh.......Cal's pimping KY. Plain and simple. Wish I could find the link to the letter a guy wrote to the Herald Leader about Cal using Kentucky.....a classic.

Maybe he can break the record of the coach who currently holds the record for most players sent to the NBA...everyone knows who that is, right?

when I went up to Chicago a few weeks ago I had a chance to tool around DePaul


I don't know much about the school, but based on its location , I think I would love it.

I'd just stay in student housing and then when I graduated , move about 2 blocks away.

Its in a great location.

Flying into Chicago tomorrow night

That's where I live.

Sardis, if you're going to Chicago, PLEASE stay away from the South and near West sides. And not so far East that you wind up in Gary IN. Just stay on the North side and you'll be fine.

I thought you went into the suburbs for your kids


My boss used to live in that area. I'm not a lake snow kinda person but if I was, I'd want to live there

No we're city people. I can't imagine living in the suburbs. I suppose anything is possible but us living in the Chicago area and not living in the city seems extremely unlikely.

Only in town for Thursday then flying out in the evening. No time to wander very far from Millenium Park area.

That's a nice area, near everything. Have a nice time. Eat a genuine Chicago deep dish pizza for me.

I always felt the same way about SF. As soon as most of the folks I knew there could afford it, they moved north. In fairness, though, the Bay area outside the city is probably much nicer than the areas outside Chicago. That's not a dig on greater Chicago, just an acknowledgement of Marin County and the areas south of SF...

South, towards Silicon Valley, it's pretty much the same as the north shore in Chicago except much better weather and a few more hills. But, you pay many multiples more for that. Marin is nice and definitely has much more interesting geography.

This is ridiculous and stupid advice.
