Yeah, if for some reason I decided to turn in one of the best players on my own university's most high-profile teams just a day before one of the bigger games of the year, I think my comments to the media would be something like "no comment." I certainly wouldn't be seemingly going around to share my opinion on whether individuals should still be on university athletics teams or not.

I orginally had some feeling for Matt White when his name first came out. I've had ****** neighbors before, even at my house, whenever I would be working on a project, the village would show up asking if I had permits and say a neighbor called and was worried about what I was doing to the nature center behind my house, even though I had already called the village and asked if I needed a permit for the project and wasn't even near the nature center.

It's not fun having bad neighbors, but if you are now going to grasp your 15 minutes and start blathering your beef with a neighbor, all over news outlets, it's obvious to me, this Matt guy was probably the ****** neighbor. Doesn't mean BDJ isn't at fault as well, but this seems to be more of a feud than anyone really causing that many problems.

I read the incident reports that one of the news outlets posted. Obviously there were a couple times that the cops had to step in, but it seems just as many, if not more times, they showed up and nothing was going on at all. It's too bad, I was initially on Matt's side, but he's gone from a quiet student, to the bitchy neighbor to me.

Definitely agree regarding the neighbor feud. Anyone that has been in one knows. It gets to a point where it just gets tit for tat and although one side might have been the "right" side to begin with, by the time it gets to this point no has clean hands.

I'm old enough to be Matt's Dad assuming he's a traditional student. It's clearly Matt's fault though.

I'm not is support of this kid going to the media at all. I'm sure he's a piece of work. I'm just saying it's not his fault.
You lost me.

Ya... he should probably be evicted if that's actually what the hallway outside his room looks like.

I'll bet Matt and Bryce have some very awkward encounters in the hallway after this

Hopefully Matt can move on to reporting the next neighbor who is emitting above-average noise from their apartment on the "quiet side of town" and they won't have to relive this awkward situation again.
