someone who pays more attention, how real are my wolverines?

[thepostman]

I love how somehow there's a correlation between effort against a D3 team versus a D1 team.

But then again, it's fun to see you all worked up so carry on.

Ha, this is fun for me too! Liberty folk are easy to get worked riled up, and the best part of it is that they all play along, making it even easier or more fun to do! I figured you Liberty folk would have figured that out by now considering Liberty is such an esteemed institution of higher learning! I even managed to fool everyone on here and become a moderator of one of the boards at one point, that was hilarious!

It doesn't take much to get you all worked up either. All I have to do is say is D3 athletics are subpar and you get all worked up. Its always humurous to me.

It's hard to say because it's early and they haven't played anybody yet. You'll know more once they have played both an improved Pitt team on a neutral court and the #6 ranked NC State team at home over the next week and a half. I think they're probably legit, but both of those will be real tests for them. The Big Ten might be the best college basketball conference this year, so they've got their work cut out for them.

You used the word "alleged" twice. Both after you were called out for making up facts. But your memory is short as well. I still think you would have gotten into Kentucky. You might have even been an honor student. Once again, still hurting from Calshady not having cap space and butt-hurt over Duke. Oh and the best part is that a former Liberty player torched your team. Thank God you received that rejection letter.

What was that? You guys lost by 42 points to Richmond? L-O-L. You know when the last time Kentucky lost by at least 42 points? 1989. Some of the posters on here might not have even been born the last time Kentucky got slaughtered as bad as Liberty did against Richmond hahaha

And you want know why I do it? Because you guys go up in arms over my D3 vs. D1 comparisons. I can just say any ridiculous thing I want regardless if I really believe it or not, and you people are going to argue over it. It's hilarious, happens every single time without fail.

Good Lord...you guys fight more over meaningless crap than the women of Wisteria Lane...

This, any top-25 team can look great playing a nobody team. I'm not sold on Pitt being that big of a challenge or NC State as anything resembling a top-ten team, but it's certainly better than the "little sisters of the poor." After those two games, Michigan likely won't have a challenging game until they go to OSU on January 13.

Michigan along with several other top 10 teams (Indiana, Louisville, OSU, NC State, Syracuse) could be going in to January undefeated or with only one loss with the cupcake non-conference schedules they have padded with nearly all home games. That's one thing I like about Duke, Florida, and Kansas this year. Even though their schedules are nearly all home games, at least they have a few legitimate opponents on their schedule.

haha, whatever you say man. You get worked up over every little thing and if that isn't the case then it is sad that your life is so boring you come on a Liberty message board simply to p iss people off. It says a lot about you.

its cool though, it keeps me laughing.

Overheard conversation suggests NCAA prejudged Shabazz Muhammad case

A conversation overheard on an Aug. 7 commuter flight from Chicago to Memphis, Tenn., has prompted attorneys representing UCLA basketball player Shabazz Muhammad to call for the NCAA to drop its investigation and declare him eligible.

The conversation came to light in an email from an attorney who said she was seated behind a man who was speaking loudly about the work of his girlfriend, an "attorney with the NCAA."

The girlfriend, whom he identified as "Abigail," was investigating Muhammad. The man made it clear that the NCAA would find Muhammad ineligible and not allow him to play this season, the email said. Abigail Grantstein, an assistant director of enforcement, is the NCAA's lead investigator on the Muhammad case.

Muhammad legal party is getting desperate, it appears. At this point he should just quit trying, get a personal trainer, and have workouts for NBA teams until the draft rolls around. He's going to be a top 3-5 pick regardless, why even bother with this NCAA nonsense and having to go to classes?

i like the players we have in burke/robinson/hardaway but its easy to like those last 2 in name only. it was hard to gage school against that hs team they played the other night on espn.

[NotAJerry]

Very good Colorado vs Baylor game finishing up on ESPNU right now. Colorado had a good recruiting class this year and they're already looking like and improved team for the 3rd straight year. Wins over Dayton and Baylor already this season.

[lynchburgwildcats]

Scott Drew and Rick Barnes. I can't choose which coach gets less done with more talent.

On to bigger news. Shabazz Muhammad has been cleared according to the newspaper reporters I follow on twitter. That was one super quick appeal decision, took like two days at most. Can't believe it was ruled on so lightning quick. Normally these appeals take weeks to months. But two days? Wow. Wonder if the report from the LA Times about the NCAA predetermining Shabazz's eligibility got things moving along for the NCAA?

Interesting that he is immediately eligible too. NCAA said he took $1,600. Reinstatement guidelines say $1600 of benefits should result in 30% suspension, which is around 9-10 games. He will have only missed three.

[EDIT]Actually UCLA didn't even appeal the decision like I had read previously. John Infante says UCLA skipped the appeal process and went straight to reinstatement. Wonder how he only got a three-game suspension when the family has to repay the $1,600? That's not consistent with the reinstatement guidelines nor is it consistent with precedent set in cases like the Josh Selby one.

Yeah. Both of those posters would really be upset

Do you think it would really upset both lynchburgwildcats and shuk?

[BJWilliams]

Kinda easy when they are the same person

[jbock13]

All I can say is West Virginia would destroy Kentucky if they played. Kinda like in 10.

[flamehunter]

Go ahead jbock, start a WVU Mountaineers NCAA Basketball national champions thread. I dare you, haha.

All I can say about that: I am laughing out loud. I typed "LOL" but that is for teenage girls who text. So please know that I am laughing. Out loud.

Are you joking? Bob Huggins is such a better coach than that cheater Cattleperry will ever be.

Yep, I guess that's why Bob Huggins has never won a championship and only been past the Sweet 16 four times in his entire 31-year career. Calipari has advanced past the Sweet 16 five times in the past 7 seasons, 4 out of 6 if you don't count the vacated season. Last time I checked, coaches got paid to win. Huggins is a very good coach, but his NCAA Turnament resume leaves a lot to be desired. In 20 trips to the NCAA Tournament, he's only made it out of the first weekend six times, SIX. That's really poor for an "elite" coach. You know what coach continually does that? Rick Barnes, the man notorious for doing little with a lot, has made it past the second round six times in 20 NCAA trips.

WEll we now have a whistle blower in the UNC basketball/football academic cheating scandal...

But Kentucky almost lost to a D3 team two years ago! In an exhibition game!

[lynchburgwildcats]

But Kentucky almost lost to a D3 team two years ago! In an exhibition game!

Funny, because two years ago (2010-11), Kentucky didn't play a D3 team, much less came close to losing to anyone in an exhibition. Maybe you are recalling the two 40+-point wins over D3 Transylvania from last year and this year?
