More bad news
-
@KUSTEVE Self: “An altercation occurred and he didn’t handle it well.”
We also had an altercation occur last year that wasn’t handled all too well, but not in practice.
-
Someone literally used the word CONFIRM about Lightfoot’s nose soooo it could be that they waited awhile to announce the suspension.
-
@BShark I think that might be right. Hearing that too.
-
@BShark Lightfoot is a tough S.O.B., and I get the feeling the reigning AAC player of the year is as well. Maybe part of Lightfoot’s training should be knowing when to hold em, and when to fold em.
-
@mayjay That was bad last year. This happened on the court, which makes me rate this incident much lower. Maybe what happened was someone took ownership of the paint, but did it in an unacceptable way. I’ll bet you Lightfoot jacked with him so badly, Lightfoot’s nose thought he could take on Lawson’s fist. I don’t think this will stop Lightfoot one bit , or stop the star of our team next year.

Watch this Laimbeer video. now, THOSE are some hard fouls:
-
I’ve always felt Laimbeer, bad as he was, was a light weight compared to Latrell Sprewell and Ron Artest and Dennis Rodman, especially once Rodman figured out he could spike his earnings with theatrical bad boy play. Rodman in Chicago mode was really appalling!!! Laimbeer necktieing players is one thing, but Rodman doing his version of a rodeo clown from coke town, as choreographed by Madonna at every foul shot, plus the assaults of players, coaches and fans of the other guys is just such pure disgracing of the game that it makes Laimbeer seem like a punk-lite.
I wonder if there are feeds of Artest, Sprewell and Rodman floating around? Those were some really rotten old days!
I also wonder if feeds of Charles Barkley reputedly spitting on the little girl in the baseline seats are still around, or if they have been moved down the memory hole?
Those were NOT the good old days!

The timeline might not support that claim that has been made but what if the play did happen (Mitch’s nose) and Dedric at subsequent practices was showing chippy behavior towards teammates etc. I don’t necessarily think everything happened at once to make Self hand out this punishment. This could have been multiple little behavioral issues popping up during the practices that led Self to send a message.
Whatever the case I’m on high alert to the brothers. We already had one slandering their former coach and now we have the other being suspended for who knows what and missing critical time with his teammates. However small the issue is overall I’m now pessimistic we get what we signed up for with them

@BeddieKU23 I think coach announced the punishment later on purpose.

At least one KU fan is openly protesting Lawson’s suspension:

@jaybate-1.0 The Barkley incident is very hard to find anymore. However, i did find it- it begins at 2:12:

Kc star

@KUSTEVE lol

@Crimsonorblue22 A nut in Lawrence was arrested twice in one day for walking around neeked…
-
Before we get too negative on Dedric let’s not forget other past players that needed to be disciplined… like TT and the Morris twins.

Under the circumstances I would have thought two nuts…but I am not touching that with a 10 foot pole.

Lawson is missing some really good roast horse in Italy.
-
@jaybate-1.0 I thought that was roast dog… maybe I think of a different country yes?
-
@Lulufulu Dog and cat meat is Asia. China, Korea, SE Asia, that part of the world.
-
@jaybate-1.0 Back when I was a younger man, I lived about 60 miles away from Morton, Tx, and they had a horse packing plant. All the meat was sent to Europe, mainly France though. Giddy up in French must mean “ring the dinner bell”.
-
Horse has been a guilty pleasure of Italy for many centuries, or so I was told. Never tried to confirm it though. You have to get off the beaten path some to find restaurants with a sign in the window indicating it is served. I recall one in Bologna. But most Americans don’t go to Bologna. Its a little TOO Italian for most Americans. But I loved the place. The cathedral several miles outside town there is my favorite of all the cathedrals I have been in all of Europe.
-
I don’t recall anyone eating dog in Italy, unless there was a food shortage during a World War. But horse? Well, I don’t know the roots of it, but I recall it being served in some restaurants there.
