Now it’s time for Houston, in Houston…

NC State ("cinderella team" of the '83 Tournament) played Houston Cougars in the Championship game .. & WON!!

I was a PhD student (U of Illinois ELectrical Engineering/Signal Processing/Computer Vision), & gave a paper at the

'83 ACM (Assn of Computing Machinery) SIGGRAPH/SIGART Special conferenece on Motion, Graphics, & Control

http://caltechscience.dreamhosters.com/turk/toronto83.html

I ALMOST asked for an evening event to be "shifted in time", to allow viewing of the CHampionship game.. I NEVER saw it LIVE..

NC State Jim Valvano gave a GREAT interview after the game:

"We've been working on the principle ALL YEAR -- If you put yourself in a position to Win, YOU HAVE A SHOT AT WINNING"
"None of our shots were going in [ 1st half ]. We put them on the foul-line at the end of the game. You have to do GOOD THINGS [ make your free throws ], in order to beat us"
-- CBS interview with Brent Musberger



see end of video for interview -- NC State STOLE the (championshp) WIN, over a HEAVILY FAVORED Houston team:

Phi Slamma Jamma

featuring Clyde "The Glide" Drexler & Akeem "The Dream" Olajuwon

Haven't watched Illini this season (until today's game), but Brad Underwood needs to figure out a PLAN:

"Plan your WOrk [ watch videotape of Houston, figure out their WEAKNESSES & ATTACK IT ], WORK YOUR PLAN"

I'm hearing Brad Underwood STILL has this glaring weakness:

FAILURE to make adjustments at half-time

^^^ Is this REALLY TRUE??

2
This will be tough

"When the going gets tough, the tough get going"

I think NW has this..

3
I'm done with this crap. Fuck Guenther Jr. and Bielema

4
Bielema should be sent packing his bags

I blame that SH*THEAD Josh Whitman (he's Jewish right?), a resume scanner..



"I want to say something to the young people of America. John WOoden didn't become a WINNER (champion) his 1st SIXTEEN YEARS. a national title. Until he was in his 50's, 60's"
-- Curt Gowdy, ABC announcer, 1975 NCAA Championship game (UCLA VS Kentucky)

John Wooden was hired by UCLA for program development..NOT a re-tread. Like WHitman did with Brad Underwood & Brett Bielema

Whitman is a Jew -- JEWS & Money/$$. Throwing $$ at the problem..

"We WILL win" (you mean we SUCK??)-- hired that idiot  (Lovie Smith) to pack Memorial Stadium -- just DUMB.. based on Marketing /Promotion

"People don't buy Good Products, they buy GOOD MARKETING"

"We are our own WORST ENEMY"

Josh Whitman SUCKS..it's on him

He's a worthless "paper pusher" administrator

Stuck with Groce, who doesn't make adjustments. Had to fire him, brought in ANOTHER coach..who doesn't make adjustments. Underachiever one of the top 10 paid BB coaches?? Nepotism -- plays his son Tyler, then retains him as asst coach

Made an AWFUL hire in football, that clown Lovey Smith -- had to fire him

Brought in ANOTHER re-tread -- Brett Bielema. Seems to have worked out -- pure luck

"Even a blind squirrel gets lucky"

FAILED LEADERSHIP

From IlliniHQ.com (when it was still owned by News-Gazette):

Agreed, but on the outside looking in, I thought MT [ fired Athletic Director Mike Thomas ] had a stellar reputation and I didn't even know about the awards he won. I was actually shocked that anyone was able to convince him to come to Illinois. I really thought that he'd get some quality coaches here. As time goes on, I think the real elephant in the room is the top-level "leadership" we have; it's hot garbage.

For example, my Dad has been offered by the UofI to interview for several high-level positions over the past 4-5 years, including the highest [ President U of Illinois ]. He also was formerly employed at the UofI for 20+ years, before moving on. His reply to the interview offers have always been, while chuckling,

"there's no way I'd ever work there now; the place [ U of Illinois ] is a disaster.”

My Dad seriously considered working for UNC [ caught NCAA violations, 2005 NCAA Basketball final between UNC & U of Illinois — NULLED!!! ] at a high-level position, recently. THAT'S how #$%&@!ed up things are at the UofI. 

^^^ This was during the Aug/2015 upheaval:

Chancellor (Dr Phyllis Wise, DEI hire) & Provost (Dr Adesida, DEI hire) RESIGNING after the Dr Steven Salaita SCANDAL. Latter sued U of I, revealed Wise (& other UIUC administrators) using private emails to conduct University business -- violation of Public Disclosure laws

"this university is SO MESSED UP"/Wise
"i agree, this university is MESSED UP"/Adesida

2 weeks later, football coach (AWFUL hire by then AD Mike Thomas, hired by that idiot Wise) was FIRED, after allegations of player abuse. Several months later, Mike Thomas was gone.

^^^ TURMOIL in leadership

Brought in the poser Josh Whitman...

Actually I could envision that scenario easily happening. Not at a bar like a Muphys where there’s just people standing around, but if it’s a dancing club type bar and guy gets too handsy while dancing and grabs her.  Plus given how big Shannon hands are perhaps there was enough of a squeeze to cause physical damage.

I think the videotape is the key.  If she doesn’t react much at all to what she claims happened, then no case.  But if she turns around and abruptly confronts him and creates a scene, and that’s again on a bar camera, then it looks bad for Shannon and I think is really the only way you could bring a charge like this and get a conviction. 

And I think the two charges on him are trying to distinguish touching vs penetration.

Sucks for him but he really should just pay her off if they have that type of video evidence to get it to go away and not ruin his career.   Given it’s been 3 months, maybe those things were considered but never hammered out so she went forward with the case.

DA would only prosecute this case if the victim wanted it prosecuted and was willing to testify

19yo USC female student was aggressor at a bar (kissing him on the neck), drags him outside to take Uber back to campus. They were both drunk, head to his frat. Bros tell him it's too risky

"she's too drunk to give consent"

They head back to her dorm room, they have sex. He goes to bathroom, comes out & her roommate confronts him. Girl wakes up CONFUSED..doesn't remember anything. Claims rape!

Guy gets arrested, but gets cleared by bar video (inside & outside)

Girls getting drunk consenting to sex or even starting it then waking up the next day with REGRET or friends urging her to file charges against her target of the night before. This is just as bad as a young man actually forcing of taking advantage of a drunk girl. Both instances are very bad and the truth may be impossible to determine. The safest thing for men is to avoid a drunk female

As a former USC alumni, I wrote the University Provost and stated my outrage that he was still being considered for expulsion after he was cleared by the LAPD.  He replied that under Title IX, they're required to hold their own college "proceedings" to continue to receive Federal funding. I replied that's the last of any contribution I'll be making to the school and that his response clearly shows double jeopardy which in a criminal court is against the law.

TSJ is facing some GARBAGE 3-member committee (kangaroo court) "judgement", setup by Josh Whitman

Prosecutors will no longer pursue a case against a USC student accused of raping a fellow undergraduate after a judge’s decision that there was not enough evidence to send the case to trial, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said Monday.

Charges will not be refiled against 20-year-old Armaan Karim Premjee, who was accused of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old student in her campus dorm on April 1, said Shiara Davila-Morales, a spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office. Premjee’s preliminary hearing was held in Los Angeles Superior Court last week.

Premjee was charged in May with rape by use of drugs and sexual penetration by a foreign object.


On Monday, Premjee’s attorney, Harland Braun, said the judge tossed out the case after the defense presented video evidence that showed consent.

Braun said Premjee and the woman were at Banditos Tacos & Tequila, near the USC campus, that night in April and that security footage showed them waiting for an Uber ride.

“There was a camera outside that captured the girl signaling to her friend that she was going to have intercourse with my client,” Braun said. The woman, he said, made motions with her hands that indicated sexual activity.


“There could never be any better evidence of there being consent,” Braun said. He added: “She was the aggressor.”

Premjee told the Times that he met the woman for the first time that night and that they had consensual sex. He said the woman made sexually-suggestive hand gestures to her friend twice behind his back.


“I’m very relieved,” he said of the judge’s decision. “I’ve always maintained a lot of faith in the justice system.”


Premjee said the publicity of the case has been “very stressful” and that he plans to return to USC in the fall. He will be entering his junior year and is studying business administration, he said.

Prosecutors had said the woman’s roommate walked in during the alleged attack.

“Premjee went into a bathroom and when he returned, the roommate confronted him and he left,” the district attorney’s office said in a statement in May, when the charges were announced.

LAPD Capt. Billy Hayes said the alleged assault “was reported immediately” to USC’s Department of Public Safety early on the morning of April 1.

Two weeks later, Premjee was arrested by officers with the LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division. He was released after posting $100,000 bail, according to jail records.

University officials said they could not confirm whether USC was conducting its own investigation.

“Information pertaining to student disciplinary records and proceedings or any matter of student conduct are confidential and protected by federal privacy laws,” the university said in a statement.

ABC did a report on above case, & another (U of Tenn/Chattanooga):

Drunk girl has consensual sex with wrestler (Corey Mock), she wakes up drunk (she at base of bed, he at head of bed). Confused (doesn't remember anything), then FALSELY claims RAPE!

"I thought it was ABSURD that they would make a [ rape ] charge against me"
-- Pamerjee

^^^ This seems to be TSJ's case, just ABSURD!!



^^^ "a fun night out can easily get out of control"

"He said his son was COMPLETELY BLINDSIDED"

"It's on his record, his life is RUINED. He was just blown away, he didn't know how to react
Would I think that he would ever be involved with sexual assault. ABSOLUTELY NOT"
-- C.D. Mock, Corey's dad

Quote
The University  initially dismissed the charges, in a non-criminal hearing. But weeks later, reversed that ruling, finding him responsible. But after that, a local court ruled that they improperly "shifted the burden of proof"

NO CHARGES WERE BROUGHT

TSJ faced charges made outside of U of I (Lawrence/KS), he was arrested. U of I/DIA suspended him. Now, TSJ faces some 3-member committee (internal U of I kangaroo court)

I believe the above 2 cases mirror what happened to TSJ

USC, U of Tenn/Chattanooga..now U of I. The TSJ has an interesting twist, the incident happened OUTSIDE of the "home" Univ.

KEY THING:
NEED to get that video (inside & outside).

TSJ was driven to Lawrence in a car, there were other people in his party. They were likely at the bar. Potential witnesses


"Loren Tate said Bill Self (KU basketball coach, formerly Illini coach) is trying hard to help TSJ"

^^^ There was ANOTHER rape case in Lawrence/KS, involving KU basketball player Arterio Morris:

I believe Bill Self realizes that TSJ really got screwed, & being a former Illini, plus a nice guy..he wants to help


Plus, sketchi-ness of Lawrence/KS DA:

This whole thing reeks of STUPIDITY:

Poor TSJ got caught up in the mess..

via Illinoisloyalty, someone found a *insider* post (connected to Kansas Law Enforcement) from another source:

 Cornicator said:
Quote
I live about 30 minutes Southeast of Lawrence and my wife, a KU alum, has multiple family members who work in Douglas County Law Enforcement. Here's some details:

1. The chick alleging the rape and intercourse without consent was NOT a KU student. Kind of a fascinating side note to this story and similar stories out of Lawrence involving student-athletes. The "victims" are almost always young minority women from Kansas City, Kansas or Topeka. The hot blonde KU sorority chicks from Leawood aren't the women levying out assault accusations at student-athletes. Interestingly enough, when a KU student-athlete also gets some woman pregnant, it is almost 100% someone in this crowd.


2. I've heard the Douglas County DA was initially hesitant about filing charges over credibility concerns regarding the allegations and the victim. And if you know anything about Susan Valdez, she usually jumps all over any type of rape case. The discussion among the local law enforcement is this victim wanted a relationship or something more from Shannon, and when he ghosted her, she started hurling allegations. he also apologized via electronic communication which could be considered an admission of guilt and that's why the DA decided to follow through with the charges.

I feel like Shannon and maybe even the Illini's 2023-24 season is likely shot. But, I do believe he will be ok in the future. I don't think this case will ever go to trial, and I absolutely believe he will never be convicted.

Groupie chicks are attracted to athletes, looking for "play"

"Girls just want to have fun"

I remember an ABC special on groupie chicks (WAY back in 90's) that goto professional sports games (e.g. NHL). Intent on getting some "action". Players *know* this & play-the-game. I remember that Dodgers player (hispanic) who had a taste for teen groupie chicks, he got into some trouble for that..

That fool Tiger Woods had a rolodex with 26-odd high-pricedhookers, finally got caught. His blonde Swedish wife threw a fit, attacked him with golf clubs. He drove off, hit a tree. He had some relationship with a waitress at the local restaurant

That Rick Pitino got exposed for similar type of action at a restaurant:

https://www.cnn.com/2017/09/27/sport/rick-pitino-scandal-history/index.html

Quote
Federal extortion case

In 2010, Pitino testified that he was a victim in a federal extortion case involving a woman who attempted to blackmail him after an affair.

Pitino, who is married, testified in court that he had sex with Karen Wise once at a Louisville restaurant in 2003. Weeks later, she called Pitino to say she was pregnant, according to court records. Pitino testified that he gave her $3,000, which she used to get an abortion.

The woman later married Tim Sypher, who was the equipment manager for Louisville and a former personal assistant to Pitino.

In February 2009, a friend of Karen Sypher’s left three voicemails for Pitino threatening that press reports could surface claiming that Pitino raped Sypher. Pitino denied the rape charge.

According to an affidavit, Sypher met with Pitino and wrote out a list of demands, including college tuition for her children, two cars and paying off her mortgage in exchange for her silence.

A criminal complaint against Sypher accused her of trying to extort Pitino, and she was found guilty in 2010 of several counts of extortion and lying to investigators and sentenced to seven years in prison.

I do believe TSJ got sucked into some "honey pot" scheme by this 18yo

Trevor Bauer (LA Dodgers pitcher, 38 million $$ contract) got SUCKED into an extortion scheme by a gold-digger:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/trevor-bauer-accuser-b2425434.html

Quote
The woman who accused former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer of sexual assault has spoken out after he broke his silence to address the saga earlier this week.

Mr Bauer posted a video about the allegations after reaching a settlement agreement with Lindsey Hill. The pair had filed lawsuits against each other after prosecutors declined to bring charges against Mr Bauer. No money changed hands in the settlement.

In the social media video, the former Dodger read texts from Ms Hill, seemingly painting her claims as a method for her to get money from him.

“‘Next victim. Star pitcher for the Dodgers,’” Mr Bauer said, allegedly quoting his accuser. “A text Lindsey Hill sent to a friend before she ever even met me. ‘What should I steal?’ she asked another, in reference to visiting my house for the first time. The answer? ‘Take his money.’”

Ms Hill responded to his video in an interview on “Prime Time with Alex Stein,” where the host asked her to explain the messages, saying, “Those texts are bad though, Lindsey.”

Ms Hill conceded that “victim” was not the best choice of word to use. She said she used the term jokingly, as she has “been involved with other baseball players”.

She continued, “That was my world at the time and I had already dated baseball players and it was a funny, sarcastic way to say, ‘Here’s the next one I’m going to try to get attention from,’ and it was a lot of ego and attention-seeking behaviour, which is what I can own and what he can’t do is own any part. I can totally own the attention-seeking behaviour but these texts in the grand scheme don’t address what happened at all. This was before any of our interactions or anything like that.”

The GARBAGE by Josh Whitman:

Quote
"The University and DIA have shown time and again that we have zero tolerance for sexual misconduct," Illinois athletic director Josh Whitman said in a university press release. "At the same time, DIA policy affords student-athletes appropriate levels of due process based on the nature and severity of the allegations. We will rely on that policy and our prior experiences to manage this situation appropriately for the University and the involved parties."

Your player got SUCKED into some honey-pot extortion scheme. You & Underwood (as well as DIA) have to take blame as well..DUMB A**!!

Yeah, YOU GOT SUCKED TOO!

Your leader may be the reason you have a culture problem.

It’s only one game in the college football season, but the University of Colorado Boulder football team had a losing record of 1-11 last season and today they just upset the #17 ranked TCU team that was 12-0 last year in the regular season and they were the national championship contenders to kick off the year with a bang💥

How do you turn a losing culture into a winning one? START WITH THE LEADER!

Deion Sanders AKA "Coach Prime" was hired this winter and is only a few months into the job as head coach but his influence and presence has immediately turned the program around.

What did he do? — 5 observations

1 - Set the vision for the team. Where there is no vision people will fail.

2 - Built a core leadership team by surrounding himself with successful coaches and identifying players who model the right values & behaviors.

3- Instilled confidence in the team collectively and individually by creating visual monikers, slogans, and giving personal time attention to players.

4 - Identified opportunities to strengthen each player and position on the roster to improve the overall team. Practice makes permanent.

5 - Inspired, motivated, and hyped his team through his words in presentations and speeches. He made it all about them: He believed in them, he corrected them and he praised them.

Heard the game on radio, OMG..B-R-U-T-A-L

14
Just when I was about to allow myself to get sucked back in.

Your time is probably better spent doing anything else, lol

I GOT SUCKED IN..1st half. Worked on bike while listening to 1st half (live radiostream)

[ Don't have BTN (tied to Foxsports), or FS1 ]

Halftime went testing, came back thinking 2nd half was over.

But no, IL was hanging on to a 17-16 lead!!

Field goal made it 20-16 (after botched 4th down on 1 yd line) -- I figured IL would pull it out

But NO -- the CURSE is real

HOLY SH*T WTF, gave it away on IN last drive

Nice summary video:



15
I was on Sling Orange ($35/month), which has ESPN..but no Fox (which carries BTN).

So, recently I switched to Sling Blue (which has Fox TV, Fox Sports, $35/month) with extra ($10) .. to get BTN. $45 total. But, missing ESPN is a pain..I kinda need it. I never watch Fox, which sucks

The last BB game (Notre Dame) was on ESPN2, the next game (Rutgers) is also on ESPN2. That will make TWO straight games I can't watch

What is everyone using to get ESPN & Fox Sports (which is linked to BTN)?

Youtube TV? (which is $65/monh)

So, I just "bite the bullet" & go with Youtube TV during BB season?
