I'm sure glad they are calling attention to this so when we go to Waco Drew can ask the refs to check Hogue for the "dangerous weapon" he is concealing in his mouth.

Don't worry the University of Iowa already contacted all of our opponents to warn them of this.

Just noticed that someone already did this, and they did it better.

Really, though, playing baseball with a toothpick in your mouth I can see. Playing basketball, in particular the way Hogue plays, makes me **** my head in wonderment. To each his own I suppose. Just hope he doesn't get injured some freakish way.

Try Benson Henderson, defended his UFC lightweight title while fighting with a toothpick in his mouth.

My friend, Bob Sacamano, used to play with an old glass thermometer in his mouth. Wanted to know if he would overheat or not.

I thought it was Jay Reimenschneider. You know, that one that eats horse meat all the time.

It isn't. If the refs see it they would surely make him throw it away.

I seriously doubt anyone considered this as a possibility and actually put something in the rule book making it illegal.

NCCA MBB rules section 2.12.4.6.32.146.75

A player shall not be allowed to have the following items in their mouth: toothpicks, dental floss, matches, flaming swords, Scott Drew's....

It goes on from there.

Grinding...you've got an old copy of the rulebook, it seems...in the latest revision, 2.12.4.6.32 subsection 142 was removed (regarding the allowable sizes and counts of particulate matter per square foot on the courts during warmups). Obviously, the subsequent sections were renumbered, now making that paragraph subsection 145 in the current revision. It only came out last week, many haven't caught up to it, but as you know, Fred's on top of these things, thus explaining the dirty court drama with Baylor...Drew of course ain't got his stuff together like Dreamy.
