2008-2009 NCAA Basketball Thread

Go steal some more posts from SOSH

 

I didn't but whatever you say, I posted it on another 'Cuse board, so f*** you.

 

Let's face it, you hate Syracuse because of Devendorf. We can understand why he's so disliked. If he played for another team, we'd probably hate him too. But like I've said in the past, he's an a-hole, but he's our a-hole. And f***, as long as he's hitting three-pointers with no time left on the clock, he can preen and yell as much as he damn well pleases. Fine, he's a punk. You win. But if we're going to go down this road, I think it's only fair that folks, and especially bloggers, tell the truth about "the incident."

 

Eric Devendorf did not punch a woman in the face. That was conjecture by one of the police officers on the scene and was later refuted by the woman-in-question. Officially, she ended up saying that he "put his hand in her face" when questioned by the SU Judicial Board. Still not a good thing but nowhere near the same. Even now, this is all alleged and if you want to be taken seriously by folks who love to bash blogs for going all willy-nilly, you should keep that phrase is mind. Call him a punk, say you hate his tattoos (which I'd love to extrapolate sometime given the sheer number of basketball players who have tattoos but get no grief for them) and he's cocky and an ******* and he makes poor choices in facial hairstyles and he preens and poses way too much. But as someone who has seen what Eric Devendorf can do when the game is on the line, there's no time left and you need someone with the onions to want the ball cause he knows he can make the shot...I'll still take him. How many teams have a guy like that?

You've done it in the past, check the Tex thread.

Then I expect no bashing of AJ Price from you, no UConnvicts ********, nothing if you feel this way.

 

And f***, as long as he's hitting three-pointers with no time left on the clock, he can preen and yell as much as he damn well pleases.

 

Sure, because the threes with no time left won't count.

You can buy into whatever explanation you want. Nate Miles isn't playing for UConn because he did something similar to Devendorf. If Miles is on this team they are the unquestioned favorite in the NCAAs.

In all honesty, Eric Devendorf does way too much chest bumping for someone who has never accomplished anything of significance on the basketball court during his time at Syracuse.

 

Looking forward to another 2nd round SU exit.

I met John Brady today (former LSU coach, now at Arkansas State) and his daughter's sheer beauty cannot be put into words. I wish I could supply yall with visual evidence, but you'll just have to take my word for it. Holy. Crap.

I heard Varnado dropped out of the draft and is oging back to MSU

Why yes he is. I about did a backflip when I heard the news the other day.

 

By the way, Rick Stansbury is raking in the recruits.

 

- Renardo Sidney, 6'9'' 5 star PF, #2 PF in the nation

- John Riek, 7'2'' 4 star C, chose State over UConn, Duke, Georgetown, Florida, Cincinnati

 

I can't wait for college basketball season.

[YanksHater213]

Riek is a bum

 

There was a HS Prep BBall showcase at my school last semester and Winchendon was there, and Riek is pretty much a pussy on the board with no offensive skills.

[msubulldogs21]

Crap. Not what I wanted to hear. I haven't seen any video on him yet. Does he have a chance to improve offensively? How did he look on D?

[YanksHater213]

He reminded me of a poor man's Hasheem Thabeet.

 

Except less offensive talent, and not on Thabeets level shotblocking wise.

[msubulldogs21]

Well, hopefully given the time he can develop a little bit and mature into a solid player.

 

He's probably going to redshirt next year anyway.
