I mean your player of the year candidate in less than a week called out his teammates for pointing fingers and then went on to help those teammates out today by getting ejected over trying to punch an opposing player. Given the media reaction, it seems UK fans aren't the only one calling it like we see it.

UK is about to play aren't they? Or is your day already ruined because UofL won?



Why would my day be ruined because UofL won? You're helping our RPI.

Matt is so up in the Cards heads…it is so funny they act like they don't listen to him.

I'll never understand a guy trying to punch another guy in the face when he has a helmet on.

Jones is obsessed with everything UofL. I remember when he talked about Cal when he was at Memphis saying he would never want him coaching UK.

Guys like Siva, Russ, Dieng, etc have presented themselves just as well, its just not publicized as much like Cal does

So Cal is promoting/publicizing them when they're in the NBA too?

Man, he really can do everything.

I think you post more about UofL than anybody else on this board.

I wish that we would crack down on this kind of stuff in every sport and in all walks of life. Not fighting is one of the easiest things a person can possibly do, and the idea that a person is provoked so much by basketball that he needs to throw a punch is ridiculous. This is a human being, not an animal.



Here's an interesting take on the value of being Punched in the Face.

I don't agree with everything in the article, but I think there are some good points made.

Thanks for the link. I think it's a bit unrelated to the topic at hand, but I loved the piece and agree with the theme of it. I think fighting is not a big deal, and I think fighting in sports causes a lot of unnecessary panic, but at the same time, I think we're in so much more control of our impulses during sports than we give people like Harrell for having.
