I'll give you a rec...

... If you change that to “allegedly” had his grades changed, or something along those lines.

That aside: Wooo! Big XII Tournament champs, baby!

Kidding.

You think it's better with the quotes?

Is “allegedly” > allegedly?

It's a Horns' world. Even Aggies play hoops with a burnt orange ball.
Is it football season YET?

No

Just too lazy to hit the italics button.

Well whatever happens with the story...

My bracket is still boned… right?

HS

Was his high school the one that also had to forfeit their state championship?

Yes

Same high school.

I can believe that Kansas didn’t know anything about this. It’s not exactly an uncommon thing for a high school to fake an athlete’s grades in order to keep him eligible for competition, so I don’t necessarily think it’s something Kansas had a part in. However, if the faking of Arthur’s grades is what made him eligible for NCAA competition, then I think Kansas should forfeit every game he played in. Maybe it sounds extreme, but no one should get credit for a win when they were playing with a guy who was ineligible.

weren’t we competing with Kansas for him during recruiting time?

IIRC, Arthur's final two were

Kansas and Baylor

yep, just-had-a-player-killed-and-about-to-be-clobbered-by-probation Baylor
it made me wonder how high the bidding war had gotten

Does everyone see this?

Beergut’s comment looks like two lines of weird gray blockquotes. Does BON 2.0 come with Aggie antibodies?

yeah

I don’t know what it is, but a few of his posts have appeared that way on my comp as well. For your second comment, I think they’re throwing that on to the service pack 1. It’ll actually be a vaccine.

Yea I see it too and it hurts my eyes.

And when BG writes something really long I have to scroll horizontally. And that makes me sad because I think about our 2007 offensive propensity for horizontalism.

It's a Horns' world. Even Aggies play hoops with a burnt orange ball.

I'm surprised

Seems to me that Kansas gets enough good players that they should not have to take cheaters. I’m inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt on this.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
