I'm listening to Tony Smith on the radio right now.  He held a press conference during the 85-86 season to announce he was going to Marquette.

it is really not that uncommon. a couple of my friends had a press conference in high school to say where they were going to play soccer. and nobody really cares about soccer. so it doesn't seem that uncommon to me

Its a big deal because he is the #1 prospect from IL. People in IL want to know where he's going. It probably wasn't his idea to have it on CSN.

TC is supposed to be in NYC right now for a MU Circle Dinner.  I would imagine his cellphone is not being silenced during the dinner / speeches.

I DID have a presser to announce I was going to MU.  I don't play a major sport, nor am I famous...so it wasn't well attended.  Just me actually.  But it's always fun to have a press conference.

In other news, I'll be taking a dump later.  A press conference to discuss the details will immediately follow.

Yeah, when a girl from my high school (nearby in Milwaukee suburbs) announced she was playing soccer for MU, her "press release" at the high school was picked up by the local news later that night. If she was on tv, I can't imagine why Shumpert wouldn't be televised.

I don't see why it matters what school Shumpert chooses as much as it is just a big deal because he is such an important prospect, especially for those in IL.

Will you be taking questions or just giving a statement?

Of course I'll take questions.  I'm an open book.  I can't expect fans of mine, my dumps, or the program to be truly engaged unless I let them in.  Just try to be orderly.  I'll get to everyone, I promise.
