As an MSU fan/alum otherwise unconnected to this particular woman, I give a crap about much more than the long-term reputation of the program. Beyond “rape is bad”. (Although rape is bad enough that it’s frighteningly callous, or at the very least, extremely tasteless, to skip over that and offer comments on the PR…

It’s no Fab Five scandal? Jesus dude. He raped someone. It’s far worse than a bunch of recruits getting paid and partying with boosters.

Fucking Georgetown...I swear I catch them on TV once a year in the regular season, always trouncing a highly-ranked Big East team. And then I keep this in mind, pick them for the Final Four, and hate myself Thursday night.

This guy gets it.

Except for the part where it’s a private institutional decision made well in advance of any media attention, after completing a quasi-judicial process, and there aren’t any glory boy prosecutors looking to score a big conviction. But yeah, white guy, prestigious school, sex crime, douchebags like you rushing to defend…

To clarify, it’s obviously shitty and embarrassing that they fucked up the hoop position in the first place. But it sounds like it would have been too much work to change it, or they didn’t realize it until a few games had been played. So I like that they just rolled with it, had everyone play, and made no…

I kinda really like this, is that bad? Wasn’t intentional, it wasn’t just disregard for the women’s tourney or anything, wasn’t a safety hazard, didn’t favor anyone particularly. Just let em play. It’s a game.

Glad to see Draymond’s still tormenting Wolverines.

Do the Wisconsin players not realize that their home success is somewhat due to the fact that they’re the only users of Sterling basketballs outside of middle school basketball clinics?

You could easily imagine somebody like Draymond Green being just a sixth man if he’d been drafted by a team unable or unwilling to take advantage of his unique gifts.

That’s pretty ambitious, but maybe that’s the way to go? Aim high across the board, and that why you’re sort of always in that self-improvement mindset? I dunno. But good luck!

You’re a fucking liar.

I resolved to completely give up drinking during an awful hangover on New Year’s Day...turned it into a serious resolution after giving it more thought...and have since then had only a couple beers in a sitting one only three occasions. I thought I could manage going out and not drinking at all, but I don’t want to…

Burneko, this is excellent and I have greatly enjoyed reading your work this year. Thanks man.

I actually think the example of the Twins going to the county level is not necessarily a bad thing. You at least drew financing from a much broader population base, including the very wealthy suburbs whose citizens ultimately make up a disproportionate percentage of those who get to enjoy the stadium.
