Also, don't know if anyone noticed at the game but KU attempted to completely rip-off our pregame entrance video. They even went as far to put the Jayhawk logo in a circle like we did to the Powercat. God, they want to be us SO bad.

* Did not hear "wait until basketball" one time, except from K-State fans.

I heard this a ton from beakers, which really surprised me. I almost, almost, felt bad for them, but then I remembered they are KU fans.

Most boring team in the country:  K-State

Watching a team win is always more exciting to me than watching a team lose to a FCS opponent.

Nah.  Crick is supposed to be pretty solid, but it's someone else they keep hyping up.  Can't remember his name as I tend to tune them out the second they start talking footballs.

Everyone thought Tamba Hali was a phenom too. Then the Chiefs traded Jared Allen. Crick is average.

“No (campus) visit has been set (for Masoli),” Nutt wrote in a text late Wednesday night. “He may not even consider (being a) walk-on. I don’t know.”

Still hope yet?

Source: QB Masoli headed to Ole Miss


ESPN.com news services

Former Oregon QB Jeremiah Masoli is expected to be admitted to one of three graduate programs at the University of Mississippi, which should make him eligible to play as early as this season, a source told ESPN's Joe Schad.

Masoli would have to walk on at Ole Miss as he would not be granted a scholarship, the source said. But Masoli, a good student, would be eligible to possibly receive a reduced tuition cost.

Masoli is expected to make a formal visit to Ole Miss as soon as this weekend, the source said.

Masoli had expressed late interest in programs like Kansas State and West Virginia, two other sources told Schad.

According to The Clarion-Ledger, school officials, including coach Houston Nutt and athletic director Pete Boone, met Tuesday to discuss Masoli's troubled background, which led to his dismissal from the Oregon team in June.

Ole Miss assistant athletic director for compliance David Wells told The Clarion-Ledger that the university would have to ask the NCAA to waive a one-year residency requirement, which can be granted if the athlete enrolls in a graduate program that is not offered at Oregon.

A week ago Nutt said the Rebels had no interest in pursuing Masoli, who was kicked off Oregon's team after two run-ins with the law, including a second-degree burglary charge.

That stance may have changed after backup Raymond Cotton left the team this past Saturday. The Rebels are down to just two scholarship quarterbacks after Cotton was granted his release and plans to transfer after apparently convincing himself that he wasn't going to get much of a chance to play behind Nathan Stanley.

Nutt has been down this road before. He took a chance on former Florida safety Jamar Hornsby last year, and it blew up in the Rebels' faces.

Hornsby was booted from the Gators' team after being charged with the fraudulent use of a dead Florida student's credit card. She was killed in a motorcycle accident and just happened to be the girlfriend of Hornsby's then-teammate, Joe Haden.

The Rebels took a chance and signed the troubled Hornsby after a stopover at junior college, and he was in trouble again not even a month later. He was indicted on a felony assault charge, and Nutt had no choice but to dismiss him from the team.

In Nutt's defense, he's not the first coach, nor will he be the last coach, to take a chance on a talented player with a troubled past.

But to do it two years in a row is tempting fate.

Nutt has to have another quarterback. The Rebels' backup right now is junior college transfer Randall Mackey, who wasn't in Oxford for spring practice and was probably going to factor in as a specialty player this season.

An injury to Stanley could be disastrous, which is why Nutt is exploring every avenue.

So is this an Ivy League approach? My bet is in about 3 years the NCAA investigates Ole Miss for paying players-specifically Masoli- and they chalk it up to an error in the decimal place of his academic scholarship. That should give him enough extra cash to pay for court (or the judge to let him off the hook for his probation violation)

Would b easier ti win a conference title at ksu then ole miss

No chance to win a conference title at Ole Miss. They are only an average team in a very good division, not to mention their entire conference is great this year. (Along with every other year)

schadjoe Ole Miss' administration rubber stamped the Masoli admission, per he walks on

This. Ole Miss must be payin' him pretty good if he can afford all his court costs and grad school on his own.

I would pay a stupid amount of money for that jersey.

This

Speaking of that, does Nike offer any option to buy a jersey with sewn on letters/numbers?

Nike sells 3 different jerseys. Replicas, Sewn jerseys, and Authentic jerseys. Replica's are all screen-printed. Sewn have tackle and twill numbers and logos. Authentic jerseys are the actual on-field jersey that a team would wear, with a minor change - the number on the back is moved slightly higher than on an actual jersey to prevent you from getting the players real name on the back.

The true Authentic jerseys I have only seen made for a few schools - Oregon, Florida, Ohio State, etc....
I would expect Nike to offer our new jerseys in the Replica form and Sewn form, as most new jerseys are sold this way.

Some more rather pointless information for those who like to hear stories..

Jeremy Sutton apparently got laid after the spring game because the girl thought he was a star due to the #43 jerseys she saw at the game. Daniel Thomas is literally really really stupid. Once in the weight room he had an extra 110 lbs on the free squat bar because he counted wrong and didn't notice until someone saw his sheet. During film sessions coaches often say "Goddamnit DT" due to him missing the hole all the time (lot's of times he admits to not knowing which gap he was suppose to be hitting). He's "huge" compared to last season as well.

Heard a good story about Coffman.. during a spring practice he ran a simple qb read and juked Troy Butler out of his shoes and outran everyone for a TD. They said it was so funny cuz no one really got excited, everyone was just kinda in shock. Stories like that hurt our chances imo.

David Garrett is unbelievably quick and is the best cover corner in 7 on 7's. Heard a lot more positive talk about Klein too. Harold is looking really good as well.

Snyder has been swearing a lot lately, but after each time he apologizes. Stephen Harrison is hurt, dunno if that's been reported, not a good sign either way. Tannahill has the "best hands" on the team. Josh Cherry is one of the most popular guys.. weird.

Sorry that it's all random. Trying to remember everything that was said throughout the night. No update on Wally other than a sighting confirming the neck brace, but he was decked in purple.

If anyone has any specific questions you want asked let me know and I'll do what I can.

This dude is lame. I know him and his brother, big douchers. But I applaud him for using jersey chasers.

Vegas SL Day Eight: Studs and Duds
http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=16841

Studs:
[...]
Bill Walker – 19 points, four rebounds and five assists
With his new teammate Amar'e Stoudemire in attendance Bill Walker put on a show. He's always been known for his incredible athleticism but today he did it all, making plays for others, defending well, rebounding the basketball and making a handful of shots from beyond the arc. In Mike D'Antoni's offense the more things you can do the better, so the added versatility Walker is displaying will go a long way in earning him playing time next year.

Recap: SummerKnicks 92, SummerPistons 80
http://www.postingandtoasting.com/2010/7/16/1573771/recap-summerknicks-92

Bill Walker had perhaps his best game thus far in Summer League, attacking from the get-go with a soaring baseline dunk to open the game. Walker had his lapses, including a few forced threes (3-7 for the game) and some missed defensive assignments, but was generally much more active and effective than in previous outings. Perhaps the best number on Bully's line is the 5 assists he put up. Once Walker dribbled into the paint, he didn't force shots or fish for contact as much as he did in earlier games. Instead, Bill waited until the defense collapsed, then found a cutter (often Landry Fields or Jerome Jordan) sneaking toward the rim on the baseline.

[...]

- The courtside seats here look like chairs, but they're all connected, so it's really one big bench. This fact came to light when Bill Walker dove into the crowd for a loose ball and took out every single chair and every fan sitting in a chair in one fell swoop.

- Walker also made a bit of a commotion when he dunked on DaJuan Summers, then proceeded to hang on the rim and teabag Summers for a little longer than was necessary. DaJuan was understandably displeased, and I was a little surprised they didn't get to shovin'. Had a fight broken out, I would've jumped the press table and started throwing haymakers.

 

Apparently Bully Walker was abusing dudes on the court. I hope he was taking their lunch money and calling them names.

Probably hurt it during the season sometime and just decided to wait until after to fix it.

Just saw Dom at Wal-Mart with his lady. His right hand was wrapped and looked like he had a splint on his pinky and ring fingers. Curious if anyone knows anything.
