2011/12 Observation Deck

[KG215]

Mississippi St lost at home to Akron by 10

They do that every year. Lose to a mid-major or two and still manage to put together a solid regular season. Still, that's not a good loss at all.

Some nice timing for Central Florida, haven't even seen it on the ESPN ticker.

A runner/booster (always a good combo) was giving money and jobs to recruits and families. The AD and an assistant football coach were fired. Head hoops coach Donnie Jones got a 3 game suspension. NCAA dropped the "lack of institutional control" hammer.

Right now would be the perfect time for any school to come out with any past recruiting violations they know they are on the verge of having revealed.

Terrence Jones shoved it down dude's throat with 2 hands. My boy Morton is shittin!

Robbie Hummel looks GREAT. We'll see how winded he gets with big minutes, but looks as athletic as ever (which obviously isn't saying a lot I know), had a few plays where he'll go up through contact and come down with his knee at an awkward angle and it's like nothing ever happened. Gotten a lot bigger in the upper body too.
