Memphis and Recruiting Violations? I am Shocked.

If you cant tell that is complete and utter sarcasm from me because I am not shocked to see a team coached by John Calipari has recruiting violations. This could take down the Final Four banner and thirty-eight wins from the 2007-2008 season. The other big thing is all signs point to Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose.

Here is what happened according to Yahoo! "The NCAA says an unknown person took the SAT for the player, who then used that test to get into Memphis. The NCAA Clearinghouse vets players’ test scores and academic standing." Supposedly this was Rose because he was the only player to only play in the 07-08 season. Not good for Memphis but does it really bother Calipari?

This makes perfect sense why Rose got the hell out of Memphis after his first season despite being the first pick in the draft and why Calipari decided the time was right to leave the Tigers because wouldnt you know it, the coach wasnt listed in anything in the recruiting violation. Since Calipari was a scumbag, the university has to take the hit for his wrongdoings which is absolutely absurd and saddening. I think the worst part about this is Marcus Camby-Calipari had the same sort of issues at UMass which led to the Minutemen getting all sorts of violations themselves but nothing against Calipari. Also why would Kentucky take the risk with all the money when they were aware of these pending allegations and the ones before at UMass? If I were a big blue fan, I would be scared of what could happen when Calipari leaves although he may never leave if he is successful.

I hope to never hear the words "John Calipari and good guy" in the same sentence. Yet you will hear guys like Dick Vitale and others in the college basketball world talk about how great of a coach he is with his players. No one has the balls to say how crooked Calipari really is. He is a loser and sleazy coach who does everything he needs to do to get his players. The damning thing of it all is he is the richest coach in college basketball and will keep on cheating until Calipari himself is caught by the NCAA.

Bobby Petrino is a Snake

Today Bobby Petrino decided to resign from the Atlanta Falcons who are looking right now worse than Amy Winehouse. He is now close to taking the head coaching job at Arkansas. This leads me to my title, he is an absolute SNAKE, and a coach I will never had any respect for.

Lets break it down from the beginning, he had basically just started a 10 year deal at Louisiville then hit jackpot with a big season with Brohm and co. Atlanta needs a head coach so they decided to go with Petrino and being the snake that Petrino is he took the job forgoing that 10 year deal worth a ton of money despite how horrible college coaches have faired in the NFL. He gets a 5 year deal from the Falcons with a somewhat promising team with quality quarterback. Then the dog scandal and cue the downward spiral. Now we are arrive at today where he takes the Arkansas job.

The argument about being a worthless team in Atlanta is a foolish because he could draft Brian Brohm whose been in his system plus the head coach and QB usually are closer than the other parts of the team so the fit would be perfect. The other argument about Lou Holtz is another stupid one because they didn't have the outrageous deals that they do now plus he only resigned with one game left which is completely normal.

Would Petrino taking the Arkansas job make Darren McFadden stay? I think it could have an impact yet he could just play the tape of Willis McGahee tearing up his knee. He still has a good NFL career but why should Run DMC stay? Just to win the Heisman, yet why would want that curse? Please leave Darren.

Let me put you in this situation, what if Kragthrope has another poor year at Louisville and they decided that he is not the right man for the job. What are the odds that Petrino comes back to Louisville, I bet pretty good.
