You do that crap just enough to hedge your bets.  They are becoming less believable with the passage of time.

Sorry Sultan, but you are wrong.  Hyperbole still strong with you.  Take any sample of 100 posts of mine, and it will show how wrong you are.  I can't help it if you and Lenny read what you want to read, ignore everything else, or the best one, read certain parts of one post and dismiss the other parts as if they are written in invisible text.

What are you sighing about?  Or are you still upset I picked Syracuse to beat us?  A real fan wouldn't do that.

Oh stop.  Use the ignore button then.  I support MU through and through, as big a fan as anyone here.  I'm sorry if objectivity is used once in awhile, God forbid.

Buzz had a lot more depth, IU no depth. 

Tons of depth for I4. Ask Matt Roth, Buss Patterson, etc.

HAIL!!




Would have preferred to see Marquette last night but this is second best!

Go Blue!

Patterson didn't make the grades in Summer school.  IU's new policies in the wake of the Sampson fiasco requires faculty sponsorship, which he didn't get.  In the old days, Patterson would still get a pass, not anymore.

Bunch of bullsh*t.  They needed room and they found room.   That's as lame as the "Newbill never applied" excuse.

You are aware of the faculty sponsorship requirements now as a result of the Sampson deeds, correct?  It's been around since the 1960's, but revamped after the BS that Sampson pulled in 2009-10.  Why would IU not want to keep a kid that was a stud player and instead see him go elsewhere?  Even his AAU coach admits the kid screwed up by bungling his summer school.  Why, if IU wanted him gone, did they CONTINUE to recruit him in the hopes he would go to a prep school, which he did at Brewster.

As his AAU coach also said, IU coaching staff not thrilled with decision.  There were plenty of other kids to "Crean" or "Buzzcut".   

"They're shocked. (The IU coaching staff) expected him to be there and do what he was supposed to do," Hawkins said. "All I can do is just say they really wanted him there."

I know the conspiracy theorists are out there in droves, and Patterson himself can't wait to say how wronged he was....no wonder he's now going to the purity that is Syracuse basketball.

Patterson needed a 2.0...and he got a C and a C-.  He appealed and lost.  I guaranty that if its Cody Zeller that he wins that appeal.

Believe me.  I live here and I know damn well how it works and how it can be shortcut.  And the AAU coach's comments were motivated by a lot of politics.  Really, most of my die hard IU friends know exactly what went on...squirmy.  Give me a break.

Yet again...preaches with Marquette...plays naive with Indiana.  Real "objective."  

[ChicosBailBonds]

Well, fortunately for IU, Zeller is an All Big Ten academic and likely all American Academic.  

I guess you think the AAU coach was lying.  To each their own.  I'm not playing naive at all, by the way, everything I heard from the guys I still know at IU athletics really wanted this kid.  They live there, too, and are involved 100% not on the sidelines like you are.

They were hoping he would get it together at Brewster and be admitted a year later, didn't happen.  There were plenty of other kids they could have "Creaned" that didn't have the skill level of Patterson...if you're going to play the conspiracy theory, why not play it all the way through?

I'm just glad IU even has an oversight committee like this for athletes.  Does MU?  I think we do, we definitely should, but after kids like Alton Mason and a few others over the years, I don't know. 

I'm proud that IU has 6 members of the team on All Big Ten academic team and won a Big Ten title.  I would be just as proud if MU can get there and do the same academically as well as athletically.  We should strive for that, you are free to disagree, but I do think that doing well academically and athletically is something that should be praised.

Chicos...they wanted to park him at a prep for a year and bring him back.  The AAU coach wasn't lying, but he definitely hedged his comments because they know where his bread is buttered.  C'mon.  They needed a space...they found a space.  You were all over MU with the Newbill situation, and now you are pleading innocent with this?? 

And again, this is an example of your "objectivity."  Why bring up Marquette at all?  I mean...Alton Mason???  Really, is that the best you can do?

You are hopeless.

Nope. Buss was the most expendable.

Thanks for the lyrics.

Fall '79, living in McCormick, learned the nasty version of this song.  I think it was the weekend of the Michigan / ND game.  Haven't been able to shake it.

That's comical if you look at the roster.

Unfortunately, I also know the nasty version. Heard it once and it stuck. Funny how we forget important things but remember stupid sh1t like the lyrics to the Love Boat theme song.

There seems to be another conversation going on here. Is this about someone getting Creaned at IU?

It's not just Sultan or me. It's scores of people here. Your "I can't help it" if people are liars, stupid or don't understand me mantra is tiresome. If after 14,000+ posts you are so widely misunderstood, that's on you. I don't buy it.

The guy is insufferable. This board is much, much worse since he was unbanned. Of course, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before he's banned from here again, just like pretty much every other board he's ever posted on it seems from what people say here.

Former i4 recruit says i4 "screwed him"

One of the players coming in next year is Brewster shooting guard Ron Patterson, who  said he's rooting hard for Syracuse Thursday night because he initially committed to Indiana and felt they did not treat him fairly during the recruiting process.

"I want Syracuse to beat them real bad," Patterson told SNY.tv. "[Indiana] was my old team and I really don't like them so much. Not the players, just Indiana, period."

A former Broad Ripple Creek (IN) High School star, Patterson reportedly failed to meet academic requirements in summer school and was then denied admission to Indiana. He then opted to spend the year at Brewster instead of transferring. He ultimately committed to Syracuse in November.

Asked why he felt the way he does about Indiana, Patterson said, "Just the way they did me. Like I was screwed over. They said it was academics, but I don't think it was. I think there was more to it."

Patterson said and McCullough will watch the game in the dorm room, and root hard for the Syracuse zone to foil Indiana's shooters, Christian Watford and Jordan Hulls, as well as Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo.

"I think Syracuse wins just by the zone," Patterson said. "If Indiana isn't hitting shots it's not be going to be game. If they hit shots it's gonna be a long day."
