I saw him, Taz, and Terry Martin walking up to the ticket windows outside the PMAC. He asked me if this is where you get tickets for the women's game. I said, "Yeah, but don't you think y'all can get in free?" He laughed and said, "I wish."

Well. That's about it.

But WOOOOOOOOOO! That was sweet.

He much more muscular in person than he looks on TV.

True of all basketball players. Jerry Stackhouse use to live right across the street from my Aunt and Uncle when he played for the Wizards, and I got to meet him in person and good God, was he huge, and i remember when I shook his hand, his hand was mammoth. And this is coming from a person whose dad is 6'6 so I'm use to seeing tall people, but man are these guys huge, as in muscular haha

Yep, he's definitely a solid dude and by all acounts even more of a solid individual. He's always been one of my favorites. We are going to miss him. I wish him well.

NCAA Rules, if you are a college player, you can't get free tickets or any thing like that. I think it is a lot of CRAP how the NCAA treats College Players.

No they can't get a benefits just because they are student athletes, if something is available to the general student body it is also available to them.

I thought as student athletes they got in free, they do for football. i just think it is a privilege as an athlete.

Students had to sign up online before the game for a free ticket. Maybe they forgot to.

Or maybe they just wanted seats not in the student section.

Or maybe they were picking up tickets CT Jr. reserved earlier. There's many possibilities.

Which brings to mind a trip I took to Athens last week. It appears that they give/loan(?) each football player a moped to use on campus. I'm not exaggerating to say there must have been 75-100 of those things parked outside the football complex. Regular students at UGA don't get mopeds. Infraction?

I had a class w/ justin vincent and he said the players had to pay a couple g's for the scooters, which is why he didn't have one

maybe that has changed and they are now part of the scholarship? but not all football players have them heree

Well then how would this guy know that UGA "loans" them mopeds? I doubt they do. Those scooters are all over LSU as well. Especially the football complex.

But LSU students got in for free for the game last night, if you "got a ticket" online.

I'm guessing they just forgot and had to get one.
