[link=(What a great day! 3 solid committs and then the story broke in the L.A. Times that USC RB Joe McKnight has been seen driving around campus and town in a Range Rover that is registered to the owner of a company that Joe's girlfriend works for.)]LINK[/link]

Why would the part about Joe Mcknight be part of a great day. Do you cheer when another player for the opposing team gets hurt?

Why all the gloating over something such as this. Any kid 19-21 could make this mistake. This is not the concept to cheer over. Now....Stanford beating USC in football is something to cheer about.

It's called schadenfreude.

I agree to be "delighted" about it is over-the-top but a little smirk and an acknowledgement about what goes around comes around is alright.

The kid thought he was too big for the state of Louisiana and needed to go be a prime time guy at USC. He showed flashes of brilliance but was also a fumbling machine and by most accounts not the most likeable person. So let the Ranters have a little fun poking at him now that his USC career is over and has failed and he's destined to be picked lower in the draft that his talent would dictate. A few years ago, he poked a lot of people in the eye.

What goes around comes around.
