If Cal treats Pee like Orton, I'll be pretty upset about that. Would be total ********, IMO.

Lots of Pee blasts being tossed around, and pretty nonchalantly at that. One of you bitches is showin up with a black eye tomorrow.
Joey- did you happen to know a guy named Gordon in NYC? Tall, bald, hung around with a woman named Maria and and bunch of monsters? Loved the alphabet?
Lee forever gets a pass with me for the 2014 Michigan game. Without his performance, kiss the National Runner-Up banner goodbye.
Its ok for Pti to hate on the Harrisons though. Lee is off limits. But the twins? Lets make fun of them.
Ok. He was a fellow UK fan and kind of in your(former maybe) line of work. He worked on high $$$ apartments as well. So suck it @MaxPowerrr
Yep. He gets the Aaron Harrison protection as far as I'm concerned. Miss those completely out of nowhere put back dunks.
Speaking of Hardees' "fat, disgusting slob" marketing campaign, did you guys know that Marsellus Wallace is Arby's' "WE HAVE THE MEATS" voice-over dude? Yeah, UCL and Max should have fun with that.
Let's just say after a couple of calls, my initial take on Calipari's reaction was correct. For a kid like Lee, who Calipari can help probably more with his contacts in the league...it was just dumb. And Goodman...of all people. Calipari despises him.
I have zero scuttlebutt that isn't UL scandal related. And I can't really get into all that until next week. Big couple of days for them going on right now...
Just a FYI, when #scuttlebutt is mentioned here it ONLY refers to Louisville related
I cannot even conjure a reaction to Humpty talking to Palsy Goodman or declaring pro or whatever.
You want to go pro, buddy? Great. You coming back? Cool. Hope you can beat out an Aussie and a Kiwi for 5 minutes a game, or whatever.

Scuttlebutt from the unc scandal for fellow haters:
UNC men's basketball is not the only sport getting hit hard, but MBB is certainly getting hit hard. UNC won't get the death penalty, but I think 90% of us will be quite satisfied.
I think there will be some who will only be satisfied if UNC MBB receives the "death penalty." No UNC sport is going to receive the death penalty, but if the DP is not your only acceptable outcome...you'll be pleased.
I fully expect UNC to publicly release the copy of the amended copy of the NOA on May 27. There's more to this that I promised I would not share...if I value getting info. May 27 is based on two factors. The first is that UNC won't release the NOA without first having a meeting with the Board of Governors. Based on when UNC will receive the NOA from the NCAA and the calendar of scheduled BoG meetings...May 27 fits. Secondly, May 27 is a Friday heading into a long Memorial Day weekend. UNC's high-dollar PR team will continue to follow the playbook of releasing bad news late on a Friday...especially heading into a long holiday weekend.
The delay.... UNC just publicly released its response to SACS yesterday...despite the fact that UNC submitted it to SACS over a MONTH ago. UNC has delayed on releasing everything thus far. UNC delays in order to buy time to improperly redact names & information. Some of the redactions are legit according to FERPA...many more redactions are an improper application of FERPA. UNC also delays long enough to implement what it perceives to be the best PR strategy and spin. UNC has delayed every step of the way...
The NCAA has not yet sent the amended NOA to UNC, but it will happen very soon. Based on open-records laws...UNC must release the NOA upon request, but UNC has been unjustly slow at releasing EVERYTHING to the public regarding the scandal...
i'm fighting the urge to dump all that I have. However, it's not important. I do know the topic of the new/additional Level 2 violation. The new Level 2 violation won't do much to increase the NCAA penalty, but it will help open the gates for the FBI. The six Level 1 violations will be enough to get the job done. UNC "insiders" have claimed that the new NOA would be a reduction or easier on UNC. As I've repeated...that was a big lie being produced by UNC PR. The new NOA is bigger and much worse for UNC.
It is true that UNC reported two minor violations to the NCAA just before the deadline to respond to the original NOA. However, just before UNC reported those minor violations...the NCAA was given proof of a UNC policy that "creates problems" for UNC going back to the 1980s....when UNC told the NCAA & SACS that the policy was established in 2006 (#Liars). The NCAA does not like being the one to determine academic fraud. The NCAA has historically relied upon the school to determine academic fraud..and UNC refused to admit it before the original NOA was written. However, AFTER the original NOA was released...SACS determined "academic fraud" and UNC agreed...in writing. With the coming release of the new NOA...UNC has admitted academic fraud to SACS. There has been about an 8 month delay. Hmmmm...what could possibly take a compliance department 8 months to do? Figuring UNC's two minor violations does not take anywhere close to 8 months. What could "possibly" take 8 months of work by UNC compliance?
The amended Notice of Allegations has been finalized for at least a week, but has not been sent to UNC yet. Due to distrust that has grown for UNC, the NCAA chose to hold onto the NOA until after UNC made public its response to SACS. On Friday, UNC made public its SACS response. The amended NOA is much more harsh than the original NOA. It includes an additional Level 1 violation and an additional Level 2 violation (which includes a fun topic that could invite FBI). Tomorrow, a judge is hearing arguments for potential dismissal of "McCants vs NCAA"... I think it's a fair bet that UNC will receive the amended NOA by the end of April...and then we'll see how long UNC waits to make it public.
The new Level 2 violation is not the Adderall/ADHD issue. Why not....the new Level 2 violation involves financial aid to athletes. This won't impact UNC with the NCAA too much as its not a Level 1 violation, but it's the first official body to set a precedent of there being an "issue" with financial aid. Perhaps this official precedent opens the door for the FBI to consider Pell Grant fraud. In order to receive an athletic scholarship / Pell Grant, the student/athlete must be enrolled as a full-time student that is making Progress Toward Degree (PTG). The independent study policy that UNC athletics violated means tons of "classes" taken by athletes did not count for PTG... Thus meaning they were not eligible to receive an athletic scholarship/Pell Grant...yet they did.
New FTR... I do NOT know the wording or specific details of the financial aid issue outlined in the new Level 2. I simply know that it involves financial aid violations....and I'm using deductive reasoning.

also Auburn University was set to lose its accreditation because of Cam Newton, per TigerBait or whatever that LSU board is
I appreciate when cawood and others take the time to copy entire articles and post them in GYERO but there is a 0% chance I'm going to read them. I get the synopsis from whatever the convo turns into after
It would be so ridiculously petty and thin-skinned if Lee gets shunned for doing an interview with someone the administration doesn't like.
Yep. Cal is a little ***** if he turns on Pee for that. It really wasn't worth getting pissy about.
Synopsis (could be wrong);
*NCAA not happy with UNC lies and delays
*UNC trying to spin one story to NCAA to protect basketball program, spinning another to SACS to not lose accreditation
*NCAA to crush them now that they've admitted systematic fraud going back to Dean era
*New twist - academic fraud may have created a situation in which people improperly received athletic scholarships AND Pell Grants, thus meaning UNC was committing fraud against the US Government, and now the FBI may investigate

I'll believe something happens to them when I see it. However, if nothing happens to them, and nothing happens to UofL, then the NCAA has effectively neutered itself, IMO.
The chairman of the Knox County Board of Education cheated on the GED.

I'm just very appreciative UNC gave up that game winning shot in the title game. We all know how it would have ended had he missed.

Don't like how high the Cards are flying at present tbh.
Last night's baseball game, on the heels of Lamar locking up the Heisman and an imminent playoff bid has me pining for something tasty with regards to a certain Smoketown *****.

Gotta say, I don't give two fat f*cks about college baseball. Never have and never will, regardless of how good/bad UK is at any point.
If they're in the World Series I'll catch a couple innings, maybe. Other than that, take the slowest, most boring, "meh" of all time, and triple it.

Considering sending in an application to write for Mags' site. If I decide to do so and get it, hope you guys don't mind me openly ripping topics off here.
I.e. "If Jamal Mashburn isn't your favorite player, then guess what, you're wrong, buddy" and "10 ways to arrange your living room without hanging your TV above the fireplace"

It would be a tough sell to write for KSR and it not be focused on UK sports or taking jabs at rivals. I think Matt mentioned talking to the barstool guys about their platform, but the KSR audience is totally different. Barstool hits the meat-head demographic hard, and obviously as it is now KSR is mainly blue goggled UK homers. I think with his podcast and frequency on Finebaum, Matt is probably becoming more of a national brand- but his site may not follow. Which is fine, it's extremely successful as it is.
36 hour bout with food poisoning over the last two days thanks to the General Tso's chicken at Lai Lai- which had been my go-to for decent Chinese. Never again. Was like a worst-case scenario hangover that would not end. Think i'm finally in the clear. Still hammering pedialyte.
Not having a desk job during the day cuts into GYERO participation. It's not the same scrolling through on an iphone.
Have been in a music nostalgia kick lately, circa high school/early college. Soundtracks including live albums from that era by Pearl Jam, BNL, Smashing Pumpkins and a few others that were staples in the cd player. Man.
Have we ever discussed the Squatty Potty? This revolutionary step stool that is improving that way humanity is shitting? I had never heard of this mechanism, but multiple people over the last couple of weeks have mentioned it to me and it was supposedly on Shark Tank. Apparently we've been pooping wrong the whole time. Our alignment has been way off.

Adam using squatty potty is the least surprising thing in the history of GYERO.
