lol What the Heck?? This is USA Today news?

 

[Hump]

Wow, investigative journalism at it's finest!

 

[full house frog]

That read like a hatchet job to me.

Weird article. Looked up Gleeson out of curiosity. Almost expectng a Wisconsin or Boise State grad or something. Just a youngish Illinois State guy. First the Baylor basketball murder conspiracy and now this.

USA Today, really?

Newsflash. After a night of celebration, college students miss class!!!

Hell, I bet most schools think it's more newsworthy that our players were actually attending before the win.

All of them skipped class? Why not the ESPN guys said the entire school should close in celebration.

The newspaper version of a retweet.


Y'all need to try decaf.

Coach Johnson probably wanted this story written. He's trying to keep them focused.

Student - athlete. I am sure Johnson made sure they remembered that st practice the next day.

USAT picked up on the FWST article on Johnson upset over players' "missteps" after the game. Looks like during the search this morning quite a few other publications picked up on the USAT story or the FWST story. There about 10 or so with the same or similar headline.

Must be a slow news day.

 

[joejordan]

So, the guy who talked to a player in class the next day...Manti T'oe?

 

[tcumaniac]

Not everyone skipped class. Look at the I talked to a basketball player in class thread.

I am wondering if man has landed on the moon also.
