I am glad we are holding basketball coaches to a higher standard than we require of (former) Presidents.

YOU HAVE NOT SEEM ANYTHING YET.

TUNE IN TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA FIRES ITS HEAD FOOTBALL COCH OF FOUR MONTHS, FORMER WASHINGTON STATE COACH MIKE PRICE, FOR:

CHARGING HUGE AMOUNTS OF BOOZING JAUNTS ON UNIVERSITY CARDS.

JUMPING ON COEDS IN CAMPUS AREA BARS.

HIRING MULTIPLE PROSTITUTES AND CHARGING THEIR SERVICES ON UNIVERSITY CREDIT CARDS.

HAVING THOSE CARDS STOLEN BY SAID PROSTITUTES AND CHARGED UP A MASSIVE CREDIT CARD BILL.

The University of Alabama is nothing more than a sad shell cover of a win-at-any-cost sports factory whose entire history and tradition is nothing more than blatant cheating, corruption, and the lowest of human values... That's right, for at least 80 years bama has purchased everything they have 'earned' - EVERYTHING - and in the process has sold its collective soul to satan himself... Burn on, bama.

I am a huge Big 12 basketball fan, especially when it comes to my Jayhawks. I heard Eustachy made a comment that the girls at Kansas were hotter than the girls at K-State. He made my day. (Although, typically K-State is a more conservative school than Liberal Lawrence) I honestly believe that the Cyclones program is in serious jeopardy after a few sub-par seasons and that the Administration there will use this an excuse to fire Eustachy.

It gave me great satisfaction to hear the Ames,Iowa crowd boo Collison and Hinrich when they came to Hilton Colisseum to play, And even earlier than that with Lafrentz. These former players went to Kansas instead of their home state, Iowa.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Note to coach, seek out much better looking "college-age women" to suck face with whilst drunk.

Hey, if supporters of the War On Some Drugs can blame substances for the actions of those who use them, why can't boozers use the same argument?

[Argh]

Too bad. If he'd been a left-wing professor having sex with students, everybody would have looked the other way.

Isn't this guy married - at least there is a ring on that can be seen in some of the photos. I'll bet he's in deeper kim-chee come this weekend.

Damage control has only begun.

Eustachy is married. He has been married since 1987. He has 2 sons, Age 10 and 8, I believe. He's in deep doodoo in the home arena for sure.
