Yes. I do. I have for years.
In fact, I type that nearly as often as you change your screen name, Pickle.

Whoa! Win the prestigious Pig Sty Championship! Now that would be quite an accomplishment! Unfortunately, there is only one championship that counts, and that one is seven wins past where the Griz will ever achieve. Just the facts, and another reality check for guys like you who are satisfied getting only close.

Is being a old cranky dickbag something that comes natural to you? Or do you practice daily to achieve this level of asshattery? Just curious.

Then it sounds as if you should go be a "fan" of a program that can win it all. Then you can go fuck up Kansas' board for the better part of a week until you get banned there, too. The good news is you've got a complete arsenal of screen names to bombard them with. However, if you run out, I might suggest "Asshattery".

Why does he need to sit out an entire year? I'm confused because some transfers are able to play after the first semester at their new school. What's the rule on that?

If a kid drops out of his prior school before the start of the second semester, then he is eligible the second semester of the next year.......Rorie played the entire season last year so he will be eligible after sitting out for 1 year (the same sit out time in both cases).....
That's only for guys who finish their undergraduate degree with eligibility remaining. If, for example, a player redshirts, finishes his degree in 4 years, he can transfer to another school and play his final year right away as he begins grad school, as long as the new school offer a grad degree the original school does not.BigSkyBears said:

Funny, the thing that most draws me to basketball is the challenge of going up against the very best.
One of my proudest sports moments was a few years ago at Pauly Pavilion. There I sat with one of my lifelong friends, a dyed-in-Carolina Blue Tarheel fan, to watch our underdog Griz take on UCLA. We get off to a slow start, but slowly make a comeback, then take the lead. Slowly it dawns on me: Qvale is the best center on the court, Cherry the best point guard. We go into halftime with a small lead, certain that UCLA will come storming back. But--it's just the opposite. We just keep pouring it on. With about five minutes to go, we're up by twenty. With the cat in the bag and the bag in the river, it's UCLA that makes a final push to make the final score "respectable." We win by plus ten.
A couple of years before that, I sat alone in a sports bar to watch a game nobody else wanted to see: Montana v. Nevada. The heralded Nick Fazekas would tear us apart, everybody knew that, so I figured to leave at the half. Well, Fazekas was good, but Strait was better. Matthews and Criswell were superb. We were one game away from the Sweet 16--a game against Boston College that was tied at the half; a game where a B.C. guard who couldn't put the ball in the ocean suddenly got hot, raining threes from all over the court, while our kids went cold. Still: One game from the Sweet 16.
Against the very best. The big boys.
AzOne knows: The easiest way to succeed is to lower the bar for success. My approach--and DeCuire's too evidently--is to raise the bar. To take on challenges. To get better by playing the best. The moments of satisfaction can be few and far between--UCLA in the 70's; the Nevada game; the game at Pauley. But the thrill of victory for me is even more intense than winning a national championship against second-rate competition. Because we did it against the best. We did it against the men.
