I believe use of the word "retarded" is hate speech. Any student of a liberal arts college full of self-righteous activists knows this. Hasn't the Orwellian movement to DoubleSpeak reached Moorhead/The Pacific Northwest yet? You can't say "retarded," "gay," "black," or "Indian" anymore. Please refrain from degrading the board with such hateful speech in future posts. And please, let's not use heights to quantify players. It's not fair to less vertically inclined individuals. Do you mean to imply that a 6-10 player is more apt to be a post than a 5-5 one? Who's to say? That's heightism, and I don't have to take it. As a 6-7 post, I was forced to suffer through years of coaches blindly assuming I couldn't play guard just because I was tall. Let's put an end to ignorance and intolerance once and for all.

Shocker,

Please advise as to the politically correct term for Mr. Sweeney of UST.  Is he a skin head, folically challenged or just plain Bald?

Pat-
I prolly didn't and it isnt a big deal. I'd take away 195 posts anyday to have the updated website. I thoroughly enjoy all the new features. I'm sorry you wasted your time finding out that I called bluff.

Haven't heard anything male-related since Wednesday's national day of intent, But we usually dont hear too much. I'll keep my eyes and ears open.

Nites-
Actually, none of the above apply to Sweeney, or to his brother Mike. Their dad is courageously  battling cancer. Undergoing chemo & radiation, he lost all his hair (a very common side effect). The sons shaved their heads to show their love & support of their father.

Hopefully, you feel as stupid as your post was  :)

MM,

Worse.  My apologies.   Total ignorance on my part based soley on comments on this thread that he had shaved his head, which I took to mean that he did it just to go with the shaved head look.  No doubt Shocker would approve of the use of the word "retarded" when I apply it to myself.

Is it a done deal or are you still interviewing? I bet Sandy is pissed.
I don't hate Duke. I just hate all their players, coaches and fans.

Sandy? She got fired in August. Not a done deal yet. Still working through details. If it's offered, I'll take it.

Still not finding out much in the lines of MIAC committments, other than stuf already said.

I know of a kid that played at Cooper last year that is going to SJU. He is tall and didn't play much if at all last year for them but he will be at SJU next year. This isn't a huge commitment but it is one. I may not even make the JV team.
