Oh no, I love Eastbound and Down, totally understood the reference, laughed, and actually thought the same thing as soon as I saw O'Rear. The conversation just turned to something I didn't realize a player could do-- so I asked about it.

I think he is probably eligible because the NCAA is protecting big name programs like UNI.

I knew UNI was going to win last night.

I felt it, deep down in my plums.

Sorry, I wasn't referring to you...I misquoted your response when I replied.

Now we're getting somewhere.

So it is ok with the NCAA rules that UNI has a professional Mexican baseball player on their team.

I still don't get how he can play with the $200 endorsement deal from Ashley Schafer BMW. Maybe he hasn't been caught with the coke and steroids or stealing cars/credit cards yet, but that endorsement deal was public knowledge to everyone and promoted on the radio and had signs printed up.

Whoever said his dad probably took money from UNI boosters to sink it into a Mexican ATV business is spot on. I guess Kenny just didn't know about that so it's ok.

And yet, playing on a team where other players received benefits, yet yourself did not makes you ineligible? Hm... Makes sense....

As a Cyclone fan, why would you have a UNI basketball player as your avatar pic? Going to switch it up to a KU player when conference play comes along?

As soon as we face KU, I will switch it to a pic of the almighty, and professional, Josh Selby.
