MBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[Mugsy]

AndOne,

I take issue that your interpretation of Q's remarks lead you to say Coach "used language which surely sent shock waves flooding over the WC campus."  While I agree he can get quite animated, I've never heard him say anything that would shock the campus.

Come on 74 you don't know AO's intentions so be careful on accusing him or let alone disagreeing with his interpretation.    

Coach Harris went nuts and, according to sound bites transmitted over the Wheaton radio station, used language which surely sent shock waves flooding over the WC campus.

So what are you accusing Coach Harris of saying?  I've spoken to several people who listened to the game on WETN and they heard no such language. 

Here AO sounds like he actually was listening to the broadcast when that was not the case.  It's pure speculation and imagination on his part.   I would like to hear those sound bites myself since the broadcast I was listening to did not have any such language by anyone.   With WETN's fine broadcast sound in the Hangar I could hear nothing clearly other than the two broadcasters.   So even IF he did use some of Grey's vocabulary it was not that clear or distinguishable.

I don't know maybe Q can fill us in on what the FCC would say about it if one of the 7 deadly words were inadvertently broadcast

Is there seriously still a discussion going on about whether or not a college basketball coach said a bad word?

From what I heard it went something like this...
Replace Spaulding with Coach Harris & Judge with Ref Olson:

Spalding Smails: Turds.
Judge Smails: Spaulding, how many times have I spoken to you about your language?
Spalding Smails: Sorry grandpa I forgot.
Judge Smails: Oh Dr. Beeper, Bishop Pickering this is my niece Lacey Underall. Lacey's mother sent her to us for the summer.
Dr. Beeper: Must be a nice change from dreary old Manhattan.
Lacey Underall: Yes I was really getting tired of having fun all the time.
Judge Smails: Ah. Ho ho. Ha ha ha.
Spalding Smails: Double turds.
Judge Smails: *Spaulding*!

I'm much less interested in what Bill said than I am in whether or not he performed what USee describes as Grey's "Pennyloafer Stomp". I'd like to see it catch on as the biggest dance craze since the Soulja Boy.

I don't know maybe Q can fill us in on what the FCC would say about it if one of the 7 deadly words were inadvertently broadcast

Dunno if Bill's ever owned a George Carlin album, but I can confirm that he's a big fan of Sly & the Family Stone. And, yes, I am serious.

It's not exactly hardcore basketball talk, but you have to admit that it's keeping things lively on CCIW Chat today.

USee--
My understanding is that it might not take much to shock the campus! 

Exactly!

Peace be with you.

And also with you!

Greg,

Love the Soulja Boy reference. +K if I could but your "Let's Make a Deal" reference is still lingering.

Trost used to say, "Darn, I know how to win freaking games" and "Get the freak out of my way because its, whatever it takes" and "I realized change is needed and only matters to if we win freaking games that gets us to the Final 4" and "its today that matters not next year"....

Should I keep going?

last night as I was driving home from North Park after the first half, i turned on my car radio at Foster & Cicero and was able to pick up real-staticy bits and pieces of the second half of WETN_FM's broadcast at 88.1 FM.

Once I got on the NW Tollway though WETN got drowned out by some "Indian" broadcast of real weird singing - It might have been Coach Harris, but I don't think so.

Greg,

Love the Soulja Boy reference. +K if I could but your "Let's Make a Deal" reference is still lingering. 

The regulars in the MIAC room smacked me around pretty good a couple of weeks ago for not being able to identify a picture of Kanye West (ironically, the picture appeared in the midst of a discussion of the same Nietzsche quote that I just posted in that Bill Harris story about an hour ago). That cut me to the quick and made me feel like an old fogey, so getting a +k for a Soulja Boy reference is definitely better than getting a +k for a Monty Hall reference.

If anyone was wondering last night why I was posting scores so quickly after the games ended, it's because I wasn't in the crackerbox watching AC @ NPU. I was home taking the Jeopardy! online test at 8 pm, in the probably fruitless hope that I could finally use all of the utterly useless trivia in my head for constructive purposes (i.e., filthy lucre and TV egomania). And by far the most exciting part of the test for me was that one of the questions was about Lindsay Lohan, and I knew the answer!

Drake Palmer, I hope you're satisfied.

The last page of this board is greatness....as if a college basketball coach hasn't used foul language before..language that might shock people if used in a different setting. I mean, I know it's Wheaton and all but people still swear sometimes.

Shirley you jest - oh folically-challenged one - certainly you have never signed the pledge page that "ALL" Wheaton faculty and staff must sign.   

Just the admission of harboring the thought of throwing a chair.... V.Raymond Edman is spinning in his grave.   

Somehow I just can not picture Ed Coray ever getting upset either.

I am guessing there are very few people on these boards that comprehend BOTH the Carol Marril reference AND the Soulja Boy reference. That doesn't make you an old fogey, it makes you relevant (and maybe a democrat).

That's me: Relevant, a Democrat, and a resident of the Ravenswood neighborhood. If I had hair like a helmet, I'd be giving a speech in front of the Illinois Senate today.

If ESPN is bringing back the beat the Swami or whatever that guy's name is, you should audition for being his replacement. 
Or may try for the Jeff Foxworthy show but being from the city you may not be "red-necked" enough.

I waived at you yesterday and you just starred at me.

Which Jeff Foxworthy show? This one?
