Meek's Told Not to Shoot

GatorSports.com-

Look, I’m not going to sit here and say Kentucky didn’t help. The Wildcats took 30 shots in the first half and 26 of them were by Patrick Patterson and Meeks. Patterson attempted 16 shots in the first half, one in the second. Baffling.

And after Meeks hit a 3-pointer early in the second half, he felt the brunt of Billy Gillispie’s wrath on the sidelines.

“Meeks and I were standing there after the timeout and he said his coach told him not to shoot anymore,” Shipman said.

Doubly baffling.

Okay, so the season is basically on the line, NCAA tournament bid possibly in the balance and you tell your leading scorer not to shoot anymore. You CANNOT possibly defend that as a wise coaching decision. It's like Gillispie is jealous of Meeks' stardom or something.

What kind of coach are you if your leading scorer is telling the other team the game plan?

Does this look like the faces of two teachers who would bang the same 13 year old boy?

Salt Lake Tribune-Two Bountiful Junior High School teachers are accused of sexually assaulting the same 13-year-old student, after their separate relationships with him spiraled from personal conversations to the exchange of sexual text messages and phone sex, authorities said.

On Friday, the Davis County Attorney's Office filed first-degree felony charges of rape and sodomy on a child against Linda R. Nef, 46, and Valynne Bowers, 39.

There's so many things that can be said about this story, but the best comes from these two paragraphs here:

The charges were filed after Nef arranged a meeting with police on Thursday and admitted having sex with the boy for more than a year, Pickett said. Their sexual relationship allegedly began in October 2007 and lasted until December 2008, he said.

During the meeting, Nef revealed Bowers' relationship with the boy, Pickett said. Bowers allegedly began having sex with him in December, and she also has acknowledged the relationship, he said.

Do you realize that this means that two adult female teachers were fighting over a 13 year old boy? This is one 13 year old boy who will definitely not have self esteem issues when he gets older. One social studies teacher and one math teacher.....this 13 year old is getting a well rounded education. Although I would advise banging an english teacher and science teacher when he reaches high school age.......those can be some tough classes.

It's a Dark Day in the Bluegrass......

after last night's loss to Georgia. I found the following written on the comments section of another blog I frequently read. It pretty much sums up how I feel about University of Kentucky basketball right now. I didn't write this, but I wish I had:

"Let’s say you were dating a really nice, classy girl named Tabitha. She was a pretty good catch, but you always wished she was more of freak. In fact, you always complained that she hadn’t “gone all the way” since 1998.

So you dump Tabitha, even though all of your friends say you are making a terrible mistake. Your first solo move reeks of desperation. You basically throw yourself at the hottest, freakiest girl around, but she turns you down. Embarrassed by this rejection, you hurriedly go out and find another girl. Let’s call that girl Brooke. You really don’t know that much about Brooke. However you are in need of a confidence boost and Brooke seems pretty freaky. Initially you are pleased with Brooke, you even propose to her, but she refuses to sign on to a long term relationship. As time goes on,however, you start to realize that Brooke was not only a freak, she was crazy. Her psychotic behavior has practically destroyed your life. You use to have a big house that everyone else envied, but now Brooke trashed the place leaving Dr. Pepper cans laying all over the place. Meanwhile your little brother, even with all of his tats, is doing quite well for himself. Next thing you know you don’t even have a date to the big dance. Instead you have to go to some lame party with a bunch of mediocre chumps. You end curled up in the fetal position, drunk dialing Tabitha and begging her return. But you know that she can’t come back…"

I thought I had seen this guy somewhere before.....

I wonder if Bobby Jindal was the inspiration for the head lice character on South Park.

Why does this guy have a job again?

Seriously, I've tried hard to like this guy, but it's just not happening. Here's all the reasons I don't like Billy Gillispie:

1. Losses to teams like Garden Ridge and VMI. This is unacceptable at the University of Kentucky.
2. Billy Gillispie is unable to adapt to the talent that he has available at his disposal. Everyone knows that Tubby Smith didn't leave him with the greatest talent in the world. However, Billy G is unable and unwilling to adapt to the players that he currently has on his team.
3. His standard explanation for a loss: "We got whipped." Really!?! You don't say. Explain to the fans why you got 'whipped.' That's actually what most coaches do. Everything with Gillispie seems to be about toughness and competitiveness, not about executing plays and being a sound fundamental basketball team. Oh, and actually winning the games....that's kinda important.
4. Snarky halftime interviews. Who could be mean to a face like this:

Alright so you got me there Billy G. You wouldn't do it if she were Erin Andrews.


5. All of the UK fans that think he's great when he hasn't really accomplished anything.

6. He has a bald spot. Seriously. Just look at it. It's there. I've seen it.

That's it, that's the list. All the reasons you should hate Billy Gillispie.

Morning Juice: What's a Slumdog?

So last night some movie named Slumdog Millionaire won the Oscar award for best movie. I hear it's kind of a big deal. Anyway, here's the cast of that movie, accepting their award:











Now, I do believe that these are some Indian (dot, not feather) actors. I'm sure the whole nation of India is rejoicing in their Oscar victory and there is probably a lot of cow worship going on this morning. Even though I've never seen the movie (and probably never will) this is probably the biggest day in Indian movie history since this guy graced the silver screen:










Now, I don't know this guy's name, but he is definitely the Marlon Brando of Indian actors and should not be forgotten in the annals of Indian movie history. He will be forever immortalized as receiving the first Juice from the MoJuice blog. Indian guy from Short Circuit, today's Juice is yours. Enjoy.
