I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

A big man, shooting less than 45% from the field for his (extremely) short career and has a history/stigma of being a problem child is demanding a trade? Sac should explore a trade and then show DeMarcus just how coveted he is around the L.
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

Knucklehead, but the talent is undeniable

I would do Ed Davis for DMC straight up & worry about the consequences later
If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it, then how bad of a decision can it really be?

Cousins is demanding a trade after they brought in Chuck Hayes?

wow

He might have been embarrassed by Josh Harrelson last night

There was a Man Show episode where Jimmy and Adam were playing strip basketball with twin girls who I think played scholastically. I wished they made an unedited version of that somewhere.

"UK fans were concerned about the refs coming into today's game and they didn't disappoint us. Frustration for both UK and UL fans with the calls in this game"

Somehow I don't think UK fans were quite as frustrated as UL fans, seeing as how UK shot 16 more free throws than UL, and made 14 more. Pretty nice stat, esp. when you only won by 7...

"E -- one good thing overlooked in today's mess was that we survived serious foul trouble for the first time."

Again, I'd say UL having one guy foul out and four other guys with 4 fouls each trumps UK having only one guy foul out (and that being the much maligned Teague) and only one other guy with 4 fouls (the LVP Miller), at least in terms of "serious" foul trouble. But hey, nice win...

And truthfully, even if I had watched the game, I wouldn't give a shit about the foul/freethrow discrepancy, but I felt compelled to return the courtesy to a program whose fans I've spent better than a decade listening to their whining about Carolina getting such an "unfair" foul/freethrow advantage, blahblahblah...

Justified. Because we ALL know North Carolina fans NEVER whine about the stripes.

if you'd watched that shitfest, you would know that w/ as many fouls that were called, it was only about 1/3 of the ones that were actually committed. ul fouls on every play of every possession....not every POSSESSION, but every PLAY of every possession. it's not a mystery how we ended up shooting @ half of our average on the year from the floor: it's hard to shoot the ball while being slapped, grabbed, pushed, pulled, bumped and shoved. if we never played those fools again, it would suit me to a T.....

Ho hum. The other team always gets all the calls. The refs are biased against my team. Blah, blah, blah.

So old, so nauseating. Any fan of any major program that uses this excuse is weak. Kentucky, UNC, Duke, Kansas all get the benefit of the doubt on calls relative to other teams at times (that's not an exclusive list, either)

Because there never is cause to do so.
