John Wall to play college hoops up to 4 years!

In an interview with Brian Clifton (Mr. Wall's errand boy agent friend mooch guardian) he made the following statement about Wall's possible choice to play for the University of Miami...

"If you're going to be away from home for a year, or two years, or four, there are much worse places to be."

Really? REALLY?

For those who are late to the party, Wall is a ridiculously gifted high school senior that every college wants to get their paws on. And Mr. Clifton is saying that Wall might not be another one-and-done NBA thug? C'mon, we're not the fools you take us for. At least some of us.

Yawn

A fairly accurate respresntation of us during the off season...

The SEC is smrt

Wow, what's next for the languishing Southeastern Conference? They already knew how bad they sucked on the court, now they know how bad they suck in the classroom too.

Men's basketball programs at Alabama and Auburn each fell below the NCAA mandated cut-off line in annual Academic Progress Rate scores released Wednesday.

Auburn was docked a scholarship for not reaching the NCAA's standard of 925 points out of a possible 1,000. Coach Jeff Lebo's Tigers scored an 899.

Auburn's AD gives the usual "unacceptable" line here. Which to us is kind of like saying it was "unacceptable" for your friend to have driven your new car off a cliff. *zing*

We think the proper response is what are you going to freakin' do about it (and we think the answer will be probably nothing).

P-I-G

President Barack Obama handed defending national champion UConn Lady Huskies their first defeat of the season.

Obama, a basketball player and a huge fan of the game, now takes teams outside to shoot hoops on the make-shift court he’s had constructed at his residence on Pennyslvania Avenue.

And home-court advantage, the all-conquering University of Connecticut women’s team discovered, means that Obama is tough to beat.

Hip hip hooray!

Not exactly basketball related but since it is the off season we can post off topic stuff. We just get a little ornery around these parts with what this country considers "fat". C'mon citizens, the Twiggy look went away once people realized that cocaine and crystal methamphetamine could actually harm you.
