Man oh man doesn't it hurt to see 3 of your top players in street clothes when you walk in to the gym. Well it definitely did suck, but it doesn't suck when you know that and the bookies don't. Thank you Southall, Fields, and Turner, your play Saturday night (or lack there of) was surely appreciated. I'm goin to sizzler with my money!!! Don't get me wrong I hate a cajuns loss, but in that situation you can't go against those odds. Can't wait to have those guys back!!! Thanks for the money guys!

Doug,

Tell me exactly what entitles you to know what goes on behind the scenes of a basketball program.

The three violated a team rule.

Those who want to know exactly what happened are those who want to know so they can make the decision as to whether or not the punishment was harsh enough.

That puts those about a half step above those who judge without knowing anything.

You want gossip? You want the scoop that no one knows?

The Young and the Restless is on CBS at 11.

Jay,

You of all people would understand why people want to know...The direction of the team and the school is an important topic and basketball is a h_ll of an exciting sport. There's nothing wrong with curiosity. Whoever asked may be asking the wrong question. I think most people are just anxious to see a continuing growing program proceed without any more speed bumps. Opinions and questions are not the problem, it's the judgement. I'm guessing that you are privy to the unknown answer, so the curiosity isn't killing you. Or is it?

By the way won't you be happy when football season is over and the calls of LSU complaints end.

I'll be listening tomorrow.

Scotty, you actually bet against the Cajuns? I'm disappointed in you, buddy. Just joking...so will you take me to sizzler with you?

[CajunChicken]

I'm tired of reading this. If a 2 game suspension wasnt harsh enough for someone missing a meeting, then yall arent getting it. All 3 were punished HARSHLY for something minor. In school, we typically get 3 abcences before we start getting a deduction in grade...could you imagine if our 4th abcense was dismissal from school, or even our first. With this past instance, he didnt eat a baby, he didnt smoke crack, and he didnt shoot anybody, so why are we overcomplicating this. 2 games is enough.

Your right TuffGuy84, word from inside is managers caught them smoking a little pot!!! Not Crack so lets not compicate this,you are absolutely right 2 games is enough, let give him a 10th chance!

[Tripple Threat]

Are you full of it or is this legit? Did you hear this from the manager's mouth? I try to be as optimistic as possible, but you've got to tell me your full of it!

Did "pound me in the as _ prison" not fix the problem?

I wish I was kidding but that's what I hear. I hope to God it's not true but I have a bad feeling it is. What a sad story if it turns out to be true!

[TuffGuy84]

If it was missing a meeting (like has been reported) than 2 games is more than enough of a punishment. Until there is something confirmed though, all we have to go on is what has been reported, and what has been reported only deserves a 2 game sentence. End of story

Did you hear the manager say it?

I know more than you think I know.

im thinking he gets kicked off by the end of the year.

Please a yes or no will do.




My answer is he WILL NOT last the season.

[El Sidonio]

"Please a yes or no will do"

Sorry buddy, but with a post like that, and as much as Southall could do for this team, you're gonna get much more than just a yes or no. I wish you wouldn't be so darn pessimistic. Show some faith in your team. Many things are out of our control, but fan confidence, faith in, and support of a team can help them get through the season and sometimes, IMO, affect the outcome. A positive outlook and environment among fans can only improve the chances of the team doing good. While you're at it, would you feel comfortable telling Southall what you think, or would you honestly feel better about yourself and the team if you told him (or wrote him a letter) encouraging him to do well and work hard. I have a feeling the only thing you'd have the courage to say and would even want to say would be the latter. While I cannot predict the future, I think he will finish out the season. Of course with any player on the team, there is always a chance of something happening, and given Southall's past, we might tend to give him a higher chance of screwing. But, with the way Coach Lee is, and with people over-reacting and getting their panties twisted over a simple little suspension for being late to a meeting, I say he does good and finishes out. In fact, I say had Coach Lee not suspended him for this simple infraction, THEN, the likelihood of your pessimistic prediction would be much higher.

God Bless
