Spelling and punctuation is not taught at Duke eh? :skew:
We may suck at football but basketball is another story. I forgot who we beat to win the National Championship in 1999.
OH YEAH, IT WAS DUKE
LOL!!!
Sorry bout my spelling. I'm sorry maybe in future I'll try to double check my spelling before posting on these boards if I have time! :grinFU:
Since you mentioned about beating us which sadly I must admit you did and deserve kudos for. How bout we talk about how upstanding a program UConn is and how honorable a couple of your BBall players have turned our recently. I'll give you a short critque here:
Felony charges where brought against A.J. Price and Marcus Williams after they tried to pawn some stolen laptops.
Some quick notes:
Here's a pretty thorough recap of what's known about the case from the Bristol Press.
The third suspect, Thaddeus Ferguson, has been referred to as Williams' cousin, although that's not conclusively established yet.
After they realized the trouble they were in, they tried to return the laptops, leaving behind even more evidence.
A third player, Hilton Armstrong, tried to help return the laptops, but there is no evidence he was involved. He has not been charged with anything.
The police believe Ferguson was the actual thief and that Price and Williams conspired to sell the laptops.
The laptops were stolen not just from fellow students but from fellow-athletes: two from freshmen women's basketball players, and two from members of women's track and field.
They asked fellow student Christine Pettingell for a ride to pawn shops, but couldn't sell the pc's. They couldn't even give her gas money so she kicked them out of her car!
When she got back, she found out her friend's laptop had been stolen, and she reported the basketball players.
Text message from Hilton Armstrong to Price: "We need to know where the other one's are. I'm tryin' to get in the suites. where you at?"
Text message from Price to Armstrong: "On my way back frm boston ... How can u get the other labtops back to the owners without u sayin you goth them frm me ... Cause they tryna lock me."
For this Price was suspended from the Team and School for one year while Williams was suspended for 1 semester and will miss only 11 games. Also Price will not be allowed housing at UConn for 3 years or use of the dining facilities.
I also forgot to mention that the lap tops stolen are valued at approx. $11,000.00 thats a lot of lap tops if you ask me and 2 of them where even found in Price's dorm room. I mention the amount just so you don't think this was a minor thing and just 1 or 2 lap tops taken.
Sure makes one wonder what type of Student Athletes UConn is bringing in these days. Though I really should paint the entire school cause of 2 bad eggs but sure is pretty damning if you ask me.
