Odd stories for that'll get you through the weekend....

This Kansas fan says he bumped into Dick Vitale at a Yankees baseball game. Then as he walked past Vitale up the aisle, he said hi and also said "Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk" the Kansas Jayhawk chant...
His post then goes on to say that Dick Vitale's response was...
"FUC* OFF"!!!!
Nice, Dickie V...stay classy, what are you going to come up with for Bradley fans if the Braves beat your precious Dukies???
I love it -- I knew there had to be at least one thing Bradley fans have in common with the Jayhawks fans - we all think Dick Vitale is a dork, and we love getting under his skin.

Here's a discussion on the Utah message board. BU will be playing Utah this coming season as part of the MVC/MWC Challenge.
This Utah fan says he ran into Saint Louis head coach and ex-Utah coach Rick Majerus at....gasp....at a restaurant!!
Can you imagine -- Majerus at a restaurant!!!

As previously noted, Chicago State University has a new head coach, Tracy Dildy...
and here's news that he has already landed his very first recruit, a pretty good kid from Calumet City TF North High School. TF North is coached by ex-Bradley Brave Tim Bankston!

Remember the kid who pretended to be a 16 year old basketball player in Texas even though he was already a college grad?

In case you need a reminder, here's the story...
http://www.mywesttexas.com/news/top_stories/article_a2411a43-fcd1-5a63-a2bf-34c9d1dd34b5.html

Well, the national press made a huge deal out of this, and even focused on how he lied about his age while having an "affair" with a 16 year old classmate of his, thus constituting statutory rape!!

But here's a very similar story that for some reason the press completely laid off...
It involves a 31 year old woman who is a lesbian but who posed as a high school BOY so she could have sex with a high school girl!!
I wonder how often this is happening....maybe some of your good friends back in high school weren't really boys!!!

Here's another oddball story involving legal issues.........
It seems a bunch of white kids, football players, are ticked off because they thought they were pretty good, but got dropped off the recruiting list of a local college and instead the college signed Black athletes!
Again, this is getting virtually NO COVERAGE but it does involve RACIAL DISCRIMINATION which is currently a pretty hot topic all over the networks!
The kids think the predominately BLACK college discriminates because they preferentially offer college football scholarships to Black kids over white kids, and that this contitutes racial discrimination!
(And for some of you bozos, even though these kids are from Georgia, they are football players, not basketball players. So you can't use them as proof that there are gobs of kids coming out of Georgia in the past five years that are better than Taylor Brown.)

I occasionally check out the blog of Dave Reynolds of the PJ Star...he posts under the blog name
"The Reynolds Rap"
Can anyone explain what has happened?? He seems to have forgotten all about his blog...and nothing has been posted in almost a YEAR!!

Here's an oddity...
Eurobasket/NCAA says Bradley has a player named Mike Granger currently on the roster..
http://www.usbasket.com/team.asp?Cntry=USA&Team=856&Page=1

What the heck is this all about?? It might just be a complete error, but I found something else funny...
One of the very few internet sites that talks about a basketball player named Mike Granger from Bradley is this one...
There appears that there is someone named Mike Granger who claims to be from Bradley....playing in this summer pro-am league...
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:LyayaCP0Wq8J:www.kyproam.com/rosters/+%22mike+granger%22+and+%22bradley%22&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

BTW-- SIU's Jermaine Dearman is also playing in this Kentuckiana pro-am league, and so are a few players from Missouri Western where Mike Suggs used to play after he left Bradley...and we all know Mike Suggs was a relative of Danny Granger...

So --- I know it is a really long shot theory...but.......
Could Mike Suggs have just changed his name to Mike Granger (for whatever reason) and now he starts to show up on a couple internet sites??
Hmmm.....time will tell..........


Lastly -- seems a certain popular basketball player declined to show up in Bloomington, IL (McLean Co.) for his court date and a summons was issued for him, and now he has a new date for his ordinance violation.....
