Ballin' is a Habit:
10 Things I won't miss about the 2010-2011 Season
The 2010-2011 is long gone, and there is no getting it back. We now have to wait roughly 175 days until sanctioned college basketball begins again. Some of us will fill the void it by projecting next season's field of 68 or the top recruits in the class of 2013. But for us, at least at the current moment, it's high time we start reflecting on what made the past season both special and frustrating.
First up, the top-ten things that we won't miss about the 2010-20112 season. We laud college basketball as the greatest sport on the planet, which it most certainly is. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't come with baggage. In order to get the good, you have to deal with some of the bad that goes along with it.
Now, some of these things may return next season, but the next few months will provide some sanctity for our tortured ears and eyes.
The Top 10 Things I Won't Miss About the 2010-2011 Season:
10. The Kansas State Catastrophe
With every day that passed, a new issue arose in "The Little Apple".
Let's see, where to begin.
Well, before the season even began, Dominique Sutton decided to transfer.
But things really went south once the season actually started. (Try to follow along, there's about to be a lot of news thrown at you)
Curtis Kelly was benched early in the season for not living up to the program's standards, then was suspended for receiving illegal benefits, a.k.a he got free swag from a clothing store. Even after those two incidents, he reportedly violated the school's student-athlete honor code. You really have to make an effort to get in trouble that much.
Wally Judge sat out due to personal problems for a few games then sparked controversy for his in-game salute to the Pinstripe Bowl controversy. FIU-transfer Freddy Asprilla left the program, reportedly because he couldn't "handle it". First it was reported that he was going to play pro ball in Europe in order to raise money for his ill mother. Then it was reported that he would be transferring to Canisius.
Jacob Pullen lashed out at fans on twitter, said he wouldn't play in the N.I.T. and was also suspended for receiving illegal benefits. When you add in Frank Martin's ever-colorful demeanor both on and off the court, the Wildcats were almost always in the news. It was good to see K-State turn things around at the end of the season, because we respect Jacob Pullen far too much to wish any of that upon him.
But seriously, that's just way too much news on one team for us to cover.

I think about everyone on the team and caught on camera saluted at some point when we played N Florida. It was a salute fest.
