October 4, 201312 yr Why would it change your perspective? I would imagine because they didn't just randomly drop in to cause a scene. It doesn't excuse it but I agree it would be a tad worse if they were walking around bored and decided to just disrupt a play for the heck of it.
October 4, 201312 yr Author I would imagine because they didn't just randomly drop in to cause a scene. It doesn't excuse it but I agree it would be a tad worse if they were walking around bored and decided to just disrupt a play for the heck of it. OK. That's a razor-think distinction. They were told to go to a play as part of their class requirements. They acted like jackballs. I don't care if they were required to attend or not. It's all about how you represent yourself, your family,and your team. Trust me. If my son was one and said "but,, Dad, I HAD to go" I'd still be putting a foot up his rear end.

October 4, 201312 yr I guess beating your woman in front of your toddler and kicking homeless people while drunk is true class. How does the actions of a member of the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder apply here?
October 4, 201312 yr How does the actions of a member of the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder apply here? Because they are UK poster kids and you don't throw stones in a glass house.
October 4, 201312 yr Because they are UK poster kids and you don't throw stones in a glass house. Except for the fact that UK had enough discipline in the program to keep them in line while they represented the university. Can't control what these guys do once they leave the program. Ole Miss lets the inmates run the asylum it would seem.

Can't control what these guys do once they leave the program. Ole Miss lets the inmates run the asylum it would seem. Ya because Cousins didn't fight with anyone while he was at UK. Hartline didn't get arrested and miss a bowl game. Not to mention the 9 other UK football players arrested in the last 3 years. Kentucky Football: Did you know that Kentucky has had nine players arrested in the last three years? - A Sea Of Blue
October 4, 201312 yr ^And the coach is gone. The fact that you have to bring up Kentucky because Ole Miss is a beacon of bigotry and drug use tells me all I need to know. Keep on defending though.
October 4, 201312 yr I'm not picking sides as I happen to be from The Delta and I cheer for both UK and Ole Miss, but you're going to find people like this on most college football and basketball teams, especially in the South. Doesn't make it right, just the way it is.

I'm not defending it, I don't condone this in any way shape or form, but your comments seem very hypocritical considering UK has had problems as well. No school is immune to this sort o fhting.

Kentucky Football: Did you know that Kentucky has had nine players arrested in the last three years? - A Sea Of Blue Missed the game is key with Hartline, how many games is Henderson suspended for? Desmond Allison? Kicked off the team. Jules Camara? Suspended for the year. The two players you cited didn't happen when the players were at UK and have nothing to do with UK. Weak comparison.
October 4, 201312 yr God's toilet, Greenville I've been there for bankruptcy court a few times when we lived down there. I don't know that I would call it the toilet. You can see the decline in farming there and Clarksdale for sure though. I'm sure both of those towns were beautiful in the 40's and 50's before a lot of the buildings were boarded up.
