Aftermath of the Coleman/Budinger Incident gets out of hand

There was a lot of discussion this week over the incident where University of Houston player Aubrey Coleman was ejected after he stepped on the face of University of Arizona player Chase Budinger in a game last week.
Coleman was wrong and was punished by Conference USA. He even went on to issue a public apology.
End of story, right?
Think again.
Coleman is black and Budinger is white, so you know where this is going.
There’s a story out today that says since the incident Coleman has been receiving “racially charged emails and calls.”
The FBI is also getting involved, but will not confirm …read more

Intentional face stomping or just an accident?

Judging by Aubrey Coleman’s reaction (high fives) after he got wind that he was ejected… INTENTIONAL all the way!!
Though there’s good news Wildcat fans, your team actually won the game.

Missing in action

The crystal ball led me to another wild predicament.
But the news concerned a different Wildcat squad than the one previously mentioned.
It didn’t have to end up like this.
Prediction #2
2) Arizona will struggle to remain one of the top teams in the Pac 10 and shockingly, will miss the Big Dance. I see this team suffering through another season in which productive bodies off the bench are nonexistent. Last year’s Zona squad made Kentucky look like a deep group.

Surprise Surprise

Almost a month ago—I’m not a professional analyst, yet—I wrote Should I stay or should I go? and proclaimed Jamont Gordon and Bill Walker, among others, would stay in school.
