The Poojer Posted February 8, 2013 Author Posted February 8, 2013 Allegations brought down Bernie fine Well I do hate Duke, so I will blindly believe any negative press that surfaces "remember Bernie Fine" ??? What does that even mean, and how does that situation relate to this one? WTF?
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Allegations brought down Bernie fine Again... In November 2011, Bernie Fine was accused on ESPN by two former Syracuse ball boys of sexually abusing them in the 1980s. Local police previously looked into the case and declined to press charges. A similar Syracuse University investigation also found it had no merit. On Friday, federal authorities dropped the investigation completely after claiming to interviewing 130 witnesses and sorting through 100,000 pages of documents and finding no evidence to support the claims. Neither Bernie Fine nor anyone else will be charged, the local U.S. Attorney's Office said.
The Poojer Posted February 8, 2013 Author Posted February 8, 2013 Maybe you are missing my very vague reference... you are 'condemning' duke because some people at the game heard 'how's your grandma' when I think the audio proof clearly indicates they were saying 'past your bedtime'...I am equating the 2 scenarios because they both lacked evidence.. I'm saying don't condemn duke for this...there's plenty of good reasons to hate them...I just don't think this is one of them Again...

I wasn't condemning Duke because of this isolated incident....I have a life time worth of reasons why I dislike the Duke basketball program. I guess that's my own personal opinion....isn't it? Anyway, you not believing that the crowd is chanting "how's your grandma" (despite overwhelming evidence) is like people who don't believe that Obama was born in the US. Are you a birther Pooj?

The Poojer Posted February 8, 2013 Author Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Honestly I wanted to hear the grandma chant..but I heard the bedtime chant very clearly...I think its the same feed but I'll try and find the link I first heard.

I honestly don't have my undies in a bunch about this. Stupid college kids making a stupid mistake. I am guilty of doing some pretty stupid, classless things during my younger years. Whatever... The only thing that bugs me about this is that if NC State fans did the same thing....the story would be national news...all over ESPN and other national media outlets. An example of how programs like Duke are handled with "little kid gloves" by the media. Simply not fair... BTW....it does sound like the "past your bedtime" chant very clearly evolved into the "how's your grandma" chant.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 According to reports on twitter, the southerland hearing concluded at around 3:30 ET....now awaiting a decision as the panel deliberates.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I'm waiting to hear reports of white smoking rising up from the Carrier Dome like they do at the Vatican when they decide on a new pope.
The Poojer Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 OK...this is f**king ridiculous...probably a bunch of jackass intellectuals trying to make a point... make a goddam decision already...
The Poojer Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 Brent Axe just tweeted Sutherland won his appeal...link in his tweet is broken however!!!
nemhoff Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Brent Axe just tweeted Sutherland won his appeal...link in his tweet is broken however!!! Well that would be awesome! And hopefully will get this thread back on track to SU hoops
The Poojer Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 He followed up saying he should play today Well that would be awesome! And hopefully will get this thread back on track to SU hoops
The Poojer Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 Still waiting for an official confirmation with working link but p-s writers are still tweeting it http://www.nunesmagician.com/2013/2/10/3973348/james-southerland-appeal-syracuse-basketball

Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Yeah, just heard Southy is a full go!! That's huge. Hope the NCAA doesn't come in in a couple weeks and find him ineligible like Melo last year.
The Poojer Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 U feel confident? Syracuse.com has removed the link and Cny online is not confirming Yeah, just heard Southy is a full go!! That's huge. Hope the NCAA doesn't come in in a couple weeks and find him ineligible like Melo last year.
The Poojer Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 OK...southerland just tweeted he won the appeal!!!
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Really solid win today...obviously. Some monster dunks out there. That charge call on the CJ Fair flush was complete garbage IMO. This is very clearly a different basketball team with Southy on the floor. Not only for his perimiter shooting, but for his leadership presence. Something that has been lacking. I will hold to my early season opinion that this is a final 4 quality team. Oh yeah, and CJ Fair might be the most under-rated player in the country.

And I don't know if it's related to Southerland being back, but MCW looked much better this game than he has in the last 3. He let his game flow and take what was there instead of trying to make things happen. What the heck happened to Christmas though? He seemed to really be coming along but today he was a non-factor, borderline terrible.
