Huh? You carry on and on (and on) about the moral standards you prefer in your sports teams. It's not projecting anything, it's just remembering your post history.
KU vs KSU Brawl
- Thread starter yler4cy
- Start date
I do not think it was an acceptable response. In fact, I don’t think Dotson or the rest of the players that left the bench should have been allowed to play today. Both teams, not just KU.
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure those were my first posts on this thread. And you're calling me pious...but I thought you were oh so respectful of other posters. Matter of fact, the post you called pious wasn't even in response to you.
And yes, I want to be proud of my teams and the way they represent ISU both on and off the field/ court, and have been vocal about that fact. I don't find that to be a character flaw on my part, but maybe in KU fandom it is...
LOL what?
It was obvious watching as a neutral fan that he was trying to block the shot. It was so blatant that he tried to help Garrett up afterwards?
Even Bilas was questioning the intent.
I think if they view it as an excessive foul to the head or neck area it will be a foul regardless of whether their intent was to hit their head or not.
They’ve been pretty consistent in assigning flagrant 1s when contact is made with the face, regardless of intent. I think the block/hit on Garrett Saturday fell into that category and the call was correct
You know, tuco, you've been on this thread for days now, explaining to the rest of us how Kansas takes the role of the big, bad villain in stride.....how they don't stoop to the Philistinian actions of their opponents, blah blah blah.
And yet you don't see anything wrong with deSousa's standover? Somehow that's not a bush league action?
I get these are kids, and athletics involve the release of adrenaline and testosterone. It's only natural that emotion will cloud a young man's actions. But don't give us the holier-than-thou speech when you're basically claiming Kansas is somehow above it all.

I watched that live and if it is the play I remember the guy went for the ball but went through Garrett's head to get there. It is totally inaccurate to say "no effort to block the shot". The F1 was appropriate. As I recall the guy didn't go after Garrett while he was on the ground, either.
I think Bilas was questioning the intent when the refs were going to the monitor and there was question as to whether it would be a F1 or F2. He was saying that it appeared there was intent to block the shot when he contacted the head so Bilas felt that the F1 was appropriate rather than an F2. I agreed with him when watching live and agreed even more when seeing the replay. I agreed even though I think Bilas is a pompous ass.
EDIT: I stand corrected. I just rewatched and Bilas actually was saying he didn't think it was a flagrant at all. I disagree - if your actions are dangerous whether your intent or not, it warrants an F1. But in this case the guy tried to see if the player was okay and help him up rather than rush to him to stand over and woof at him.

Still waiting for all the outrage and calls for people to be thrown out of the sport after the huge brawl between the Texas southern and Alabama State women's teams. Dozens of punches thrown and landed. The longest suspension was a whopping 2 games.
You are such a dork.
This is up there with dumbest all time post on this website.
Sorry, it sure seemed like a ton of people here truly cared about the integrity of the game and the behavior of those in it. Lots of folks sure cared when it was a KU player who had "tarnished the sport and should never be allowed to play again".
Now that it isn't a KU player, people suddenly seem less interested in adherence to such a lofty moral standard.
Funny how that works...just found it interesting.
You seriously don't understand why there would be more interest in an incident in their own conference in men's basketball than an incident in mid/low major women's basketball?
