Oh Winthrop...

Winthrop basketball players Franchesca Davenport and Jennifer Walker were kicked off the team after they were caught shoplifting from Wal-Mart. It’s unfortunate for them, but I can understand. I mean, Wal-Mart has lots of great stuff to steal, like guns, electronics, ammunition for guns, and, uh… hot dogs?
A man at the store told police Walker had two DVDs in her jacket pocket, Davenport had two bags of chicken in a Wal-Mart bag, and the third woman had a pack of hot dogs in her purse as all three women left the store, according to a police incident report.
A source close to the story — and I’m not making this up — says that the DVDs Walker had were Madagascar and The Secret of Life. I’ve never heard of the latter. If I had to take a guess, I’d assume they meant The Secret Life of Bees — that sounds like a women’s basketball player kind of movie. Or maybe it was just The Secret. The secret is that you can have anything you want if you just take it from Wal-Mart.

I'd be careful about hammering them too much, the same thing happened to one of our star players back in 1997, one of the best players in the history of the women's program. She didn't get kicked off the team, just suspended for the NCAA tournament.

Nope. I'm not sure how "hush hush" the particulars are, but it's public knowledge that the player who was suspended from our first ever NCAA tournament game was Sarah Wilkerson. That's all I think I should say, although actually I believe the reasons were published in the local fishwrap.

Sarah was stealing phone cards from Wal-Mart, wasn't she?
