I love all the people b****ing about Bo Ryan restricting a transfer. Yes, Im sure you would all be fine with a player learning the playbook, learning about your team and then suddenly and unexpectedly leaving, and wanting to have 0 restrictions. Yes that seems absolutely fair. Its a joke this is getting attention, any other player in Uthoff's situation would have just transferred to 1 of the other 200 schools that were available. The rules are clear, Uthoff agreed to those rules, if Wisconsin wants to allow him to transfer, they are allowed to restrict it.

Crean offered Eron Gordon today, hes Eric's little brother and in 8th grade. Seems like Purdue is in on him (has a visit scheduled) and Id expect the rest of the Big 10 as well (Wisconsin has been mentioned as interested).

I think he was being sarcastic.

How do you propose we stop someone from being afraid? It doesnt matter what Zimmerman thought he had the right to do, it matters what other people think Zimmerman had the right to do. The United States allows people to have opinions, it allows people to have stupid opinions that can not be supported by any rational fact, it allows people to flat out be wrong. If someone makes a threat against Zimmerman, they should be prosecuted. But what exactly can be done to stop it? You cant stop people from having wrong beliefs, you cant stop people from committing crimes (until we have precogs) so until then all you can do is hope that after the trial people will calm down and live with the verdict. And if someone crosses the line, they should be prosecuted. The same way any other criminal should be dealt with. People are threatened every day for no reason, as a society it is impossible (imo) to stop people from making threats. Its just so speculative to talk about what will happen when Zimmerman is found not guilty.

Peavy just loves to go out and get drunk with randoms. I just wish I could have been that random, even if the girls were not that attractive.

Part of life is dealing with other people who may not like you. People breaking the law to retaliate, should be treated as criminals and prosecuted. They are 2 different things entirely. I dont believe I have advocated vigilante justice or taking the law into their own hands. I merely stated that Zimmerman has to deal with the consequences of his actions, just like if someone was to attack Zimmerman, they would have to deal with the consequences.

I just wish I would have known Peavy was there, I can walk to that bar.

Many people would agree, I am what is wrong with America.

y2hh, Well that is your opinion, and Im entitled to my opinion. Doing something wrong, is a subjective statement. I can think there is nothing wrong with eating meat during lent or that there is nothing wrong with breaking kosher, it doesnt mean a hill of beans if you think that there is something wrong with that. Whether or not he did something "wrong" is in fact subjective opinion. So you are entitled to your opinion, just like I am entitled to my opinion. I never said that anyone should hurt Zimmerman, the court is the one who determines punishment. If Zimmerman was found not guilty and I met him, I would not want to hurt him or attack him or do anything, I may disagree with his actions, but that would be the end of it. I am absolutely entitled to have that opinion. Being found not guilty or acquitted, does not mean that everyone has to change their mind. Look at OJ, found not guilty at criminal trial, liable at civil trial. Shouldnt the Goldman's have stopped because OJ was found not guilty? Dont they have to change their opinion just because the trial court said so? Yeah didnt think so. Why? People deal with the ramifications of legal conduct every day. Lets say Im legally driving and a girl runs in the street and I hit and kill her. It is determined that it was entirely unavoidable, yet I cant sleep at night and I feel guilty. The parents of the girl still think that I wasnt paying attention and the community thinks negatively off me. Right or wrong, those people are entitled to have their opinions, and I am forced to deal with the consequences. What are you talking about? I havent said Zimmerman is guilty, I just said that it doesnt matter if he is innocent or guilty, that regardless he is going to have to live with the consequences. How is that what is wrong with the case? If anything that is exactly what the defense attorney is hoping for, jurors who believe that Zimmerman will suffer regardless of going to jail. That way he can argue sending him to jail does nothing, as Zimmerman will already live a crappy existence. His guilt or innocence has nothing to do with that. His guilt rests on the facts, not how people will treat him, not how he feels. I have yet to comment on the facts, Im waiting to hear them. So how is that exactly whats wrong? Is it because you want Zimmerman found not guilty, so you just want to attack anyone who may disagree? Because as of now, I dont know what happened. But you seem extremely confident that Im wrong. (edit) And that is absolutely fine. But that doesnt mean that your family wont be traumatized or that there wont be any other consequence. Every action has a consequence, regardless of how minor. Even stopping to tie your shoe has a consequence. Do you disagree that every action results in a consequence, whether good or bad?

lol I wasnt being serious, just wanted to poke at Steve. And isnt the last Metra train at like 1am? Think about how many bad decisions your missing out on.

You are right, I do truly feel terrible that the person who killed a 17 year old, is now dealing with the ramifications of that act. Its called personal responsibility. If you dont want to have to deal with the fall out of shooting someone, dont do it. No one forced Zimmerman to shoot, and whether or not hes justified, acquitted, found to be St. Peter, he still has to live with his own actions. If he is acquitted and other people want to break the law, there is nothing that society can do to stop them. So maybe he has to move to Canada, or maybe he just has to move to a different community. Either way, he has options. There are consequences for shooting someone else, even if it is entirely justified.

Ive never been in that bar, hmm.

Walker never has preached a long loopy swing. If I recall correctly, after his rookie year, Beckham worked on his swing alone in the offseason and never has been the same since. That is my recollection, nothing to do with Walker. I believe Walker's only comments were to try and get him back to where he was...

The Walker hate is hilarious. Beckham has nothing to do with Walker.

I saw them too (but only 3 so i assumed that it was testing for Obama), my guess is something with NATO and going over routes etc.

Ive seen that medley a few times, obviously its slightly different with a 3d holopac. Im sure if Id have been there I would have loved it.

Going to let the season play out more, but I was a fan of Ventura from day 1.

I have chase and they immediately disputed the charge and credited my account. It was for a double bill, but they still immediately reversed the charges.

I put in a dispute and CC resolved in my favor.

Yeah I dont have a lot of experience with Indiana fans outside of this board, I just dont understand that attitude.

I dont think in any world is Indiana comparable to the Yankees. Indiana isnt even UCLA (11 titles) and even UCLA isnt close to being the Yankees. All I know about Indiana is the last time they beat Wisconsin they stormed the court, it was January 2007, so its hard for me to consider Indiana the Yankees, when they havent even beat the scrub Badgers in 5 years.

Well Twista was able to get Thibs name in the song.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) She had what this case doesnt... evidence. What do you mean there is no evidence? OJ Case- Denied he was the murderer, thus had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that OJ actually committed the crime, had to find the murder weapon had to try and put all of the pieces together. Zimmerman case- Confessed to the murder, have murder weapon. So how exactly is there less evidence? Because in neither the OJ case nor this case is there an eye witness who testified to seeing the murder.

If dunn is going to see 30 pitches I have no problem batting him 9th, but batting 3rd hes gotta produce.
