[andyw715]

JB need to brush up on his iMessage skills. Keep the line of communication between him and Hop open on a secure channel.

Wow, I unexpectedly get to attend the head coaching debut of Mike Hopkins! Sigh.

Sports commentators on our side. Seems so weird . . . .

All I can think of is, "Merry Christmas, Jim!" I am sure that the basketball program is involved in holiday festivities. I would bet Coach has a Christmas party for the players. Maybe not, but you know that goes down because the kids only get something like 2 days off for Christmas. Talk about putting a damper on the holidays!

NCAA: We screwed up, so we're going to screw up harder and faster, even though it took us nine months to decide we screwed up, after the ten years it took us to investigate the situation we screwed up about.

Makes sense to me.

Two words : PILLOW FIGHT!

This kind of pillow fight?

Eh, it's all totally capricious. Who cares at this point?

Hopefully Hopkins extends the bench (ha).

Agree.

I guess JB can sit with John Thompson and watch the game?

NO he can't

So the NCAA caused SU to circle the wagons to prepare to salvage the lifeline of the program because they came down with the harshest of penalties only to lessen some of punishment back to SU: With dat being said named players were subjected to derailing their college careers because of the eneptness of the NCAA. I don't know if Bj would have been starting but he would have definitely been in the 6-7man rotation to help this team. But again the players suffer with the stuff that went on even though they were not apart of it. To take away schollies definitely hurt SU because you would have had 2 more juniors to bolster the depth and with experience in the system. They (NCAA) sucks big time. Can you say PISSED!!!!:bat:
So much for the hammer!!!

Yes, it's the student athletes who were affected the most if not the most prominently. How is BJ doing?

He's suffering like the rest of us. Sitting and watching! But he's doing well thanks. Since the NCAA is modifying penalties, how about letting BJ play the remainder of the season plus 2 more years at their current schools since they are modifying things admitting that they went overboard with the sanctions. Give the players who left their dream schools something in return for their BS!
FIGHTING MAD!!!

It makes me sick when I see the commercials... The NCAA is there to support student athletes... My A$$... It is a corrupt organization that should be shut down.

It is absurd, they clearly have a personal vendetta against JB / SU. I can't begin to imagine how difficult this all is for him and his family, and no one should forget that it is also our student athletes that are being hurt.

That would require the NCAA people to have both hearts and brains. Or compassion and common sense. Sadly they lack them all. It's going to take a revolution to make adequate changes.

Perhaps you should contact Jay Bilas if you haven't to give him BJ's perspective. He's pretty good about backing the student athletes and giving them publicity.

he would have been our best 3 this year

Will Hop's wins count towards JB's total, or is that part of the punishment?

Brilliant!

Looks like JB gets to spend the holidays with the wife and kids.
