Because it's ridiculous to think they're cheating because they're getting guys that would be reserves at most of the elite level schools. These guys are going to UK because they'll still get to play against the best competition in the country, and they'll get more playing time.

 

Timmons and Hatcher reserve players? I don't think so. They will shine at UK , but never be in a NCAA title game. I may be wrong, but I don't see that program being a major SEC contender anytime soon.

They could go on probation for cheating and still be better than this past season. Honestly, if you survived this season then probation would be a piece of cake.

They haven't had much success even when they have cheated... :lol:

 

Last time it worked was when Fran Curci was there.

But, they don't have a snowball chance in hell to win a championship. That's the difference. Not to mention, those are football schools.

 

And we know that's what NFL scouts are worried about.....

Ark or Ole Miss will be on probation before we are.

You have a point, Ole Miss recruiting class was unbelievable.

Yes, they would not start their freshman years at places like LSU, Alabam, Florida, etc. At UK, they'll start right away.

With regards to Ole Miss, is it that inconceivable to some of you that the #1 recruit in the country would like to play with his brother?

UK is close behind though, they are 28th in recruiting...

28th is close to 5th? We certainly have a different definition of close.

In regards to basketball, Cal has had "reporters" watching his every move. Thamel has gone after him almost every year (Bledsoe, Kanter and Noel). If he was cheating, someone who have found it by now.

Close, means on probation not rankings..

I love the Cats as the next man, but you are not going to sit here and say Cal is squeaky clean...He is good at what he does, too much smoke. He may not be directly involved but he knows what's going on. He's not the only one, he's just really good at it. That's why he has a target on his back.

LOL...No one said that you are immune from judgment, but being called an idiot is something entirely different IMO...

 

 

So people who have idiotic opinions aren't idiots? People who have racist opinions aren't racists? People who have conservative opinions aren't conservatives? In my opinion, your friend's opinion was idiotic. I should not have called him an idiot based on that one opinion, but if he more opinions that I think are idiotic, I'll think he's an idiot in my opinion.

 

The point of my response was that you questioned your friend being called an idiot because he had an opinion. I believe that it is not only fair, but appropriate, that people be judged based on their opinions. Other than actions, what else besides one's thoughts and opinions, do we use to develop our thoughts and opinions of other people?

 

Again, the freedom to have and express an opinion does not make anyone, including me, free from judgment based on my opinions. I'm quite confident that people have judged me based on the numerous opinions I've posted on here over the years. And they should!

 

It just a pet peeve of mine when someone says or posts "I'm allowed to have my opinion". Well no kidding. Of course. But that doesn't mean that opinion can't be questioned, criticized or even condemned by others and judgments made about the person stating or posting those opinions.

I may think it's idiotic for someone to refer to another as an idiot because something they may have said.

 

Does that mean that person is an idiot? I wouldn't think so, it just means I don't agree with their opinion.

 

As I stated before, you can question a comment another makes, but calling them an idiot is uncalled for.
