is allowing wittels to play any different than when ulala allowed michael southall to play for them despite numerous past transgressions???

i couldn't pick wittels out of a police lineup...lol. but i saw southall numerous times and liked the kid. he was a dominant force and i never once saw him respond to some of the worst heckling i've seen at the college level.

no matter how much crap i gave my ulala brethren he was probably worth the bad publicity they got at the time.

and i'm not comparing southall's past indiscretions to rape. but wittels hasn't been convicted of rape.

yes...it is a black eye no matter what the fiu fans say.

but i'm really just trying to stir some more up on a subject that already has around 3 threads of its own.

I was just as critical of Evans for not punishing Southall as I am concerning FIU not punishing Wittels. No double standard with me.

Hey BoP, just curious, does your handle originate from the animal Macgregor's Bird of Paradise, or Charlie Parker's jazz standard "Bird of Paradise"?

The answer is obvious beed, the thug should have never been allowed to play period. But let's be clear, when it came to baseball, coach Robicheaux has always suspended athletes including pitcher Justin Gabariel that pitched in the regionals and beat LSU. Suspended another athlete for a DUI for one year as well. He has been consistent.

Our football program has been consistent as well, kicked one off the football program last summer for drug possession, the other two were suspended until the police investigation cleared both and both returned in the fall.

Our athletic program has been pretty consistent over the past ten years, the exception of course is Southall. But I'd put our record of discipline against any program in the SBC.

I do not know anything about Wittel, but I do know what happened to Southall.

Southall got caught for under age drinking while in high school. This put him on probation.

Then he got caught with a joint. (not selling it, smoking it)

Then he got caught in a bar while he was on probation. (after he was 21)

The probation violation got him a year in jail.

He did his time then came out a better person. He was a model student as a senior, even though all of the missed playing time did irrepairable damage to his basketball career. Even when his problems were going on, he was decent in the classroom; he was not an academic problem.

He was guilty of immaturity, and doing what most kids in college do, partying.

I hated that he did all of this stuff and blew a chance for a brilliant career and possibly a shot at the NBA. He was not a bad kid or a criminal, he just did not act very smart as kids are known to do.

So if anyone wants to hold him up as a thug or whatever, that is their thing, but he certainly was not a criminal and I hope he is having a successful ADULT life where ever he is these days.

crawfish.....i didn't call him a thug (i know you didn't say i did).

i actually liked the way he carried himself when we played him. he was a beast.

but i don't think he'll be cleaning the poor lepers in some river in india either.

if i recall correctly and i'm going strictly off of memory and this was a long time ago. the reason uk booted him before he ever got there was not underage drinking or 'one joint'.

i think him and some of his idiot h.s. friends videotaped themselves preparing a bunch of weed 'for distribution'. they then got the damn munchies and in their haste to buy twinkies and slurpees at a convenience store left the video camera in the store.

sahib that owned the 'kwikee-grab' watched the video and gave it to the po-po. the rest is history.

now i don't know if i'm misrembering this or it came to me in a vodka induced dream or it was in a movie i watched on netflix streaming. but i think that is how it went down.

Do things that very few can do or WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS or better yet, do both!!!!!!! When you guys have someone that can hit in 50 straight games, come back and talk with the DEFENDING CHAMPIONS.

One guy says "I hit in every game for the entire season" and a cajun responds "that's nothing, we won 9 straight basketball games!" End result, see signature below.

Friend, dont pull my chain. FIU vs SE La carries no stick... UL vs WKY carries NO stick.

So basically, the whole country didnt really see either of our games.

In esscence...the only real difference was "the country" could watch a basketball team given up for dead a few short weeks ago play their asses off in a win in front of 7K..Coached by someone who has never been accused of sexual harrassment, never bankrupted a major corporation and never thrown his children under the bus...

OR watch a baseball team from THE University """that hired a guy that has been accused of sexual harrassment, bankrupted a major corporation and threw his kids under a bus."""... fall apart as their leader of a year ago falls apart all the while bringing shame upon himself and his university and his county and his city and his state and his granny and his paw paw and his aunts and his uncles and his sisters and his brothers and his goldfish.

MUAHHH!

There you go again with your false equivalence. UL basketball made one bad move five years ago, so we're two faced. Wrong.

I think all of us have been on the record about the Southall situation either here on our message boards.

Here's the newsflash for you. We all thought it was wrong that he was brought back. (By the way, he did serve a suspension). None of us thought that it was defensible. That's kind of the opposite of being two faced, isn't it?

Good for dahbeed in bringing in what the ULL administration did with the Southall case, as I'm sure he was getting ready his pop corn to watch this thread unfold. Question. Was Southall convicted of those accusations or just accused? Found out he spent one year in jail and the Cajun athletic department took him back. Hmmm....

After nearly a year in jail, center Michael Southall is putting up all-conference numbers for Louisiana-Lafayette. Louisiana-Lafayette must be proud. This week's Ten for Tuesday went looking for some long-forgotten players and found them ... still playing college basketball. Who knew?


1. Michael Southall: Southall has a rap sheet you wouldn't believe, but there he is, playing for the Ragin' Cajuns. It's probably a coincidence that he has an NBA body (6-foot-10, 236 pounds) and is averaging 14 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.6 blocks. Here's his rap sheet: Arrested in May 2000 for delivery and possession of marijuana. Arrested in April 2001 for violating his bond by running away from police. (Those two mistakes cost Southall scholarships at Kentucky and Georgia Tech and landed him on three years of probation.) At ULL in 2003 Southall played well but then was suspended for academic reasons and went afoul of his probation by testing positive for alcohol and marijuana, and skipping meetings with his probation counselor. That earned him a sentence of one year in jail. ULL took him back, but the Ragin-Cajuns are just 4-11. To which I say: good.


Come on, everybody deserves a 25th chance.
