Athlete (2001-2003) Michael Southall

[Rebel02]

I know we won't agree on everything. But I do recall you and me agreeing on Luke Aubrey. I only bring that up to point out that I am not attacking you, I agree with you on a lot of other issues. But on this one you are being harsh.

You supported UL basketball before during and after Southall's first stint. Thus, you and I have no right to bring up his prior UL stigma. You might have a point on the human interest angle, and since it wasn't much of a human interest story before, the rest of the world probably won't bat an eye now, I mean it's not like he is coming here from Kentucky anymore. If they didn't care then they won't care now.

At least not till he makes a good name for himself. If he can pull off the amazing comeback from nowhere, I still think this has all the makings of an incredible human interest success story. If he comes up short, then you are right, no one will care.

MS committed a felonious action before he came to UL; he did drugs before he came to UL. His actions at UL are not what robbed him of a year of his life, his actions at UL were the heavier than a feather trigger that revoked his free status. His year in jail was because of the seriousness of his actions before his time at UL. His relapse at UL did not send him to jail of its own accord, those actions simply revoked his passport.

When he paid his debt and was allowed to reenrolled in school that passport was renewed.

The only thing that MS should be judged on is the "right now” his current life style is the pivot point on which judgment should hinge. Currently he passes as a drug free, straight "A" student.

Actually I wasn't a big basketball supporter my first year at UL, which was MS's last year here. I went to maybe 2 games that entire year.

I haven't said he should just throw his life away. I feel as though he has exhausted all of his opportunities to play basketball at UL. He's been giving chance, after chance, after chance, only to let down his fellow teammates and fans TWICE before. Where do you draw the line?

So what you're saying is that someone should give him a chance, just not us?

"Hey, someone should do it! Just don't choose me!"

I'm not saying I would allow him on were I in Coach Lee's shoes. I'd probably be too big of a coward to do it. What I'm saying is that I trust him to make a judgement in his abilities to teach Mike and to evaluate Mike's sincerity.

Interesting note. In the two years that Southall was here, what postseason tourney did the Cajuns play in? In the two years Southall has been gone, what postseason tourney did the Cajuns play in? All you people who think this is going to help us win more are kidding yourselves.

My gosh, you're right, I mean, all four of those teams were EXACTLY the same except for Southall! < /SARCASM >

I don't know if Mike is going to help us win or not. That's not why I'd like for the decision to be Coach Lee's.

Coach Lee is falling down the same path Jessie went down.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

ridiculous statement....

[Zeebart21]

Why is the General even thinking about bringing back this clown? He cant be serious. What would the other players think about there coach if he brought back Southall? Hell i guess we can go drink and smoke dope is probably what they would say and do. Bad move by Robert and even a worse move if Pres A. allows this.




P.S. I do NOT back Jesse.


P.S.S I do Not back Robert if he allows Southall to come back..

LOL!!!! Ressurected!!!!

Havent seen you since you got booted from the board a while back.....

keep the noze clean, shaft.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a WKU fan and I must admit that I am impressed by the fact that the majority of your posters would be embarrassed by Southall's return.

With that said, you guys will be the joke of the conference if this guy is returned to the Ragin' Cajuns. He has had plenty of chances to get his act together and could not do it.

Your coach will lose a lot of respect if he allows Southall to play. It will look like an act of desperation on his part to win at all costs.

C.r.a.p!!! we ar losing the respect of wKY fans???

go chuck a water bottle, wienie...

Oh Mineshaft, Mineshaft. I see under your name "Louisiana is #1". You can disagree with Coach Lee all you want, but Good Lord man, you can show a little more support for UL and make the best of the situation. You can't do anything about it. And yes, it's an embarassment " plain and simple" in how you are acting like someone 50 miles east of here in your posts.

The jury is out on "mindshafted".... possibly not a Cajun fan..

he was a wiener on the basketball chat a year or so ago...

take what he says with a grain of salt..

I remember skipping class, dope and bad attitude as one single chance what are the other ones? I think he has chnged and we should be proud.
