Agreed, yet somehow the victims have been punished while the perps have escaped justice.

Sorry, I was using U*NC's numbers for my previous post. Here is what the MArtin report found.

167 classes that were outright fraud or probably fraud.

total enrollment in those fraud classes 4194.

percentage of athletes in those classes on the order of 30%

30% of 4194 = 1258.2

per U*NC (because Martin didnt bother to check this statistic) basketball players made up 4% of fraud classes = 167.76 cases of basketball players in fraud classes.

I've had some crud the last 2 days. Its not the flu, I"ve had the flu and you don't feel like doing anything, but whatever it is, all you have to do is look at the person that has it and you catch it. Everyone in our house has had it. I think I caught it from my wife. Next time she is sick, I"m washing my dick in Purell

Looks like those days are over down thar in Bluegraiiisss cuuuntreh...

"Prince has always been Brandt's favorite player.

"It's not just for the way he plays; he's always calm and cool," Brandt said. "It's also because he's a great role model. He stayed at Kentucky for all four years."

that guy must have forgot that Prince tried to leave his Junior year and wasn't going to get drafted

Details.

Prince was actually drafted ahead of Michael Jordan in the 1984 draft, even though Jordan was taken first. They knew he was going to be that good...

Prince went to the Virgin Islands on vacation. Now they are just known as "The Islands"

wait, are we talking about the same Prince?

We're talking about the Pink Panther Prince...

LOL

that was pretty quick on your part

That's was stu said

tonight is a watershed moment in the season for UK.

They've done enough to get into the tournament but now have they improved enough to actually give the fans hope of doing something in the tournament?

With the rest of college basketball down, a UK win tonight on the road against Florida would put them squarely in the top 20 with a definite trend upward, and would probably bump them to a 6 seed with the opportunity to get as high as a 4 by season end.

A close loss will , especially if its due to Archie Goodwin returning to his fuckstick mode , infuriate the fans but still give them hope that it can be fixed. Polson, the walk-on that looks like he'd be better at playing on the Tennis team at an ivy league school is now logging more minutes than Goodwin - and Goodwin is still projected in the top 20 of the draft. Absurd.

A blowout loss will show we really haven't done much except beat an Ole Miss team that is on the slide. Tonight will make UK fans feel like we are an 8 seed going home after the first game or a potential 4 seed looking to see the Sweet 16.

This is it...make no mistake, where you are...

UNC would be perfect for Wiggins. He wants to be the man and I suspect he also wants to win. At UK, he could do the second but not the first. At FSU, he could do the first but not the second. At UNC, he could do both. Maybe it is a long shot, but I'm not going to be shocked if he chooses UNC. And then, of course, Roy will be a genius again, LOL...

Wiggins is a program changer.

I don't think UK has the inside track on him given his family is big on FSU, but he did tell Pete Thamel to shut the hell up about saying FSU is a lock

I'm pretty leery of calling anybody a program changer after Harrison Barnes. It's really not fair to Barnes, b/c he was a very good player for us and the team did well while he was here. But I can't honestly say he was more important to the team than Marshall, Zeller or Henson. I always felt like if something happened to him, we could've plugged Bullock right into his spot and not miss a beat. Obviously the same couldn't be said when Marshall went down. Anyway, I'm not saying Wiggins isn't better than Barnes or isn't going to make a huge, immediate impact wherever he goes, but I'm definitely going to wait and watch a few games before I making any grand claims of certainly about how good he is or how much he is going to dominate from day 1. Maybe he will. If he comes to Carolina, I hope he does...

oddly enough, UK fans are saying Harrison Barnes is the reason Wiggins won't go to UNC.

Barnes is having a good pro year, though. I don't know if that's an indictment on what UNC couldn't do for him...or what it did.
