Maybe I am too young to remember or know about it?

Gave a recruit from California a coat while he was in town. It was winter in Wichita. That's unforgivable, isn't it?

That was the only incident found for the current basketball staff.
There were other incidents amongst the football program and under previous leadership in the basketball program. The findings were extremely minor however when compared to the stories in the national media that lead to the investigation.

Google "Wichita State Abortion" for some great stories. I pulled up the paper archives and the movie ads at the time were, "9-5" with Lilly Tomlin and Jane Fonda,"Any Which Way but Loose"' with Clint Eastwood, and "Stir Crazy" with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder.

Well.. thanks?

In other news, the sky is blue.

Holy $hit! NOW I'm worried!

What we were found guilty of was petty compared to what teams are found guilty of today. That being said, tell me the last program, especially a P5 program, that was given a TWO YEAR ban from the post season AND television?

However, what the program was found guilty of and what was actually going on were 2 different things. We were cheating huge at the time. Along with everyone else.

Cash money was REGULARLY (as in monthly) handed out to ku players at one lawrence watering hole. Often times with LB working the bar. Do you think for one second that Greg Dreiling was paid to come to WSU and somehow went to ku for free? His hand was out from the time he was a junior in high school and it stayed out into the NBA. And it was never empty.

The playing field isn't even today, and it wasn't even then either. If it would have been, ku would have gotten the axe in late 87 and there would have been no Cheater and the Miracles with their de facto home court tourney.

Whatever you do please pay no attention to the village idiot. He's like a bad penny. You can't get rid of him.

Trust me I would like nothing more than to have your coach become our coach, but I doubt it's gonna happen.

I'm also sure you're sick of having every school in the country taking a crack at him as well. This is the same thing we had to put up with Coach Sleezball every year. My only suggestion to you is IF he decides to go, don't go into panic mode. You'll end up with a Josh Pastner.

such anger to follow me around...If Marshall is ready to go, he'll go...of not, so be it...we did the same thing year after year with Cal...I remember NC State and tracking planes, lol.

Cool, we had nc state one year too. Sounds like Memphis went through the same stuff we put up with every year so they know. I guess as soon as our coach cheats, has wins vacated and we could be facing some sort of sanctions that's when we should start to worry about him jumping ship? Do I have this right?

Yeah I planned my day around following numbnutz.

[pinstripers]

I wonder who we would hire if he goes?

[pie n eye]

Ok, now is the time to get rid of these guys, please. Even the semi nice one.

Now that Cal is the coach of Kentucky, he's Honest John. Think about it.

This always feels like a tornado warning. A coaching position opens and everyone starts muttering and heading for the basement and the sirens are going off. You get down there and everyone is closely watching the wall clouds. You get bored and anxious from the wait. Then either the tornado hits which is mostly infrequent but does a lot of damage or they finally give the all clear. Let's have the all clear please.

Your mom would be a great hire.
