should go down in history with deflated balls, tear away jerseys... love it

bear bryant used to mispronounce the star player for the other teams name on purpose.

good stuff

For what event do you lower the rim to 9' 9"?

In not saying it was intentional cheating, but it is odd.

Why would anyone try to cheat? Cheaters never win. Except Bill Belichick. And Pete Carroll. And the Pony Express now that i think about. Everyone John Calipari ever coached. Well, hmmm... Never mind. Cheaters appear to do OK.

(Seriously just giving SMU crap, a mess up like this deserves it!)

I know, right, what other event uses a basket at 9'9? Base ket ball?

When I was in school at SMU, I attended a banquet at Moody. They lowered the baskets to about 4 feet so no one would get the wrong idea and attempt shots during the banquet.

Also, Moody was crap then. Not a good place for a banquet.

Maybe Larry Brown should have "Nine Foot Nine" hung over the locker room door.

Here's a photo from Cinci's shoot-around yesterday at SMU...as this is when they realized the hoops might not be at the standard 10' height:

^^^LOL

I knew we had some young players on the team but I don't recall seeing these two yet this year. Must be some new walk-ons.

Jesus, that's just terrible awareness as a defender. What are you doing on the wrong side of the basket skying like you are going to make the block??? Get in better position and you have a chance. You can't do ANYTHING from all the way over there!!
