Settle down, Francis. 
I apologize for the off the cuff statement. I kinda imagined you would interpret it in two ways, and you obviously can only see one. In the eyes of the rest of the non-orange world, we've been on probation twice. Do you think anyone outside of our little bubble actually read the charges against us? Try for a minute to look at things objectively.

As I said, I don't for a minute assert cal is all angel wings and kittens' breath. And I asked sincerely what he had actually done. The camby thing and derrick rose sat things I don't attribute to him fully/at all. And as I illustrated, I think Kentucky and Duke have two legs up on everyone else recruiting-wise. Plus, they actually go after the top talent, unlike a lot of programs which find excuses or rationales to not bother anymore. They've embraced the one and done and kids know that. No one has yet answered the question of why AN INDIVDUAL would or shouldn't go to Kentucky or Duke...

'Not needing to show your work' typically means you can't. I hope someone eventually can, as I do believe the playing field isn't level, and I pray the FBI honestly roots out all the dirt everywhere. But I'm also not one of those guys who is praying that they find it in any particular place. And still, I'm not throwing around accusations without actual knowledge. If you visited other schools' forums when we used to sign major players, the conversation was very much the same. They all insisted WE were buying them. 'No reason to the arctic to play for a stuffy coach.' Right?

As for my 'fandom,' it's as strong as yours. You sound like one of those 'stand dfor the anthem or get out of the country' bozos.
