Duke's coach Krzyzewski doesn't give a shit about your opinions on how many times they have not made it to the Final Four in the last half decade. He just wants to be Cyndi Lauper.
"...if (some student) doesn't go to the Final Four after their four years at Duke, then that's just too damn bad," (Coach K) added. "But our team is going to have fun..."
Hmmm, we need a metaphor on what "fun" could look like for the Blue Devils this upcoming season.
That will do nicely
We know that some student-athletes may not be the smartest people in school. We know that they need help sometimes. That is why a sports program will have armies of tutors who will travel with the team and give them one-on-one help.
But still, some will cheat. It is inherently in the system. But just how dumb can you be by advertising on the internet for someone to do your term paper?!
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Leading scorer Andy Robinson was suspended for three games by the University at Buffalo on Friday for posting an advertisement on the Internet last spring to pay someone to write a course paper.
Robinson has since completed the paper on his own and apologized, saying, "I take full responsibility and realize I must regain the trust of my teammates, fellow student athletes and coaching staff."
There are few things we love almost as much as college basketball...
Air.
So, Anthony DiLoreto was headed to Cal Poly SLO on a basketball scholarship. But he allegedly decided to participate in a bank robbery instead.
"Seven-footer Anthony DiLoreto was arrested Saturday at his parents’ Minnesota home for suspicion of participating in a bank robbery earlier that day in Wisconsin..."
So he threw away a full ride to college to get some benjamins? That's crazy. But no citizen, that is only the start. What makes this story so insane in the membrane is the series of events that happened:
* DiLoreto was allegedly seen leaving a nearby station without paying for gas
* A deadly ATV crash occurred by coincidence across the street from the gasoline theft
* There was also an unrelated heart-attack victim in the area
While the police were going bat shit with all that, they managed to pick up DiLoreto along the way.
The charges were a shock to... Mustangs coach Kevin Bromley... Apparently headed to trial on state robbery and gun charges, the would-be Mustang likely won’t make the first day of classes Sept. 15."
Gee, ya think?
Geez, incoming Kansas freshman Markieff Morris could not even wait for NCAA eligibility to start some basketball player tomfoolery.
"(incoming potential Kansas University basketball player Morris was) accused of shooting an Airsoft rifle BB gun out of his university dorm room...
Markieff Morris, 18, was issued a notice to appear in court after the incident, which the KU Public Safety office said occurred about 11:15 p.m. Saturday at Jayhawk Towers. The suspect was intoxicated, according to a police report.
A 47-year-old woman from Mequon, Wis., was shot in the arm with a plastic BB in the courtyard of the building, police said. She received minor injuries."
How would you feel if you were strolling down the quad on a beautiful day and then all of a sudden...
BOOM MOTHERFUCKER! YOU AIN'T HURT!
Then come to find out it wasn't someone like Sherron Collins who you could just brush off the incident because he's so good on the court. It has to be some no name INCOMING freshman not even officially on the team yet!
That would make us mad.
