Putka didn't work his way into this bill. He must be losing his touch.
@Wakefield: two questions--(1) is Putka still teaching? (2) is he still a closet case?
Fittingly, two of this bill's sponsors are Ms. Fudge and Mr. Boehner (and don't insult my intelligence by saying that it's not pronounced "boner").
Two questions: Does the Ms. mean she's single? And is she hot?
Does anyone have the website for Authentic UD BBall Gear? Thank You. Also, Putka is still teaching and is a great teacher.
Wonder who struck the phrase " where as your starting point guard got his wallet lifted by one of the local whores" from the record?
Anyone know where I can get some official NIT champ gear, I feel like celebrating.
Ha ha fuck Jordan Crawford from 'Ex-xavier University'. The Jewish Mafia Don Stern and Stu Scott both jacked up the name of that school down south. All that success and still no one knows who they are. To fit this thread, last time 'Dayton' was ij NYC our name was pronounced right with the word 'Champion' after it....
@ The Resolution
Yeah, but the "Champion" was preceded by "NIT". Kinda like when the word "professional" is preceded by the word "semi".
Another Xavier guy in the NBA. On the bright side, at least London Warren could soon be playing basketball in a country where it's not illegal to pay for sex.
Ah they blew a golden chance to recognize the sleave-less sweater as the official sweater of the State of Ohio. (Or was that resolved after you won the A10 autobid a couple of years back)?
@bdance: you make a good point, this would have been the perfect time to officially adopt the red sweater vest as the official sweater of Ohio. Ohioians, write your local congressmen--let's make this happen.
