Im a minnesota guy, born and raised.

and the way Aldrich became a total PUSSY in the last 6 minutes of the game disgusts me as a minnesota prep. fan!!!

you're 7 1 300+ pounds and YOU ARE GONNA LET A SPRAINED ANKLE PREVENT YOU FROM PLAYING THE LAST 6 MINUTES OF YOUR CAREER WHEN YOUR TEAM NEEDS YOU?????


give me a break, if thats me, or anyone with balls, you play!!

Re: Aldrich trying to pronounce names

I would think that being a big guy makes a sprained ankle MORE troublesome, as there is more weight to support on the bum wheel.

But I've never tried to play competitive basketball with a sprained ankle, so I can't really say for sure.

Re: Aldrich trying to pronounce names

I'm not gonna make too much fun of Cole for having trouble pronouncing those names.
He's not an announcer, it's not his job to concentrate on pronounciations.

And most teams have some tough to pronounce names (such as Morequeef Morris or whatever), and UNI has quite a bit more than most.

Re: Aldrich trying to pronounce names

a sprained ankle is a sprained ankle..its gonna hurt no matter who you are...now a turned ankle...thats more playable...give it an extra tape job and you're right back in 5 minutes later.

Re: Aldrich trying to pronounce names

Personnally I think it's funny. BUT, when announcers can't pronounce it... that BS.

Re: Aldrich trying to pronounce names

I was right there when this guy asked Cole those questions...I thought it was disrespectful. I think he knows how to say it know.

Re: Aldrich trying to pronounce names

sportstalkmatt...Are you falling in love with the Panthers? You seem to be posting on here an awful lot for not being a UNI guy.

I guess that proves that ANYONE can get a press pass.....knowing you were there should scare the bejeebers out of every sports program in the free world. I suppose you were standing right next to Chuck Fleming and Murray Sports.......


You just can't help yourself, can you Matilda? I am the last person to stick up for a KU guy but Cole doesn't have to wear this....he is an Academic All America for crying out loud. He's forgotten more about basketball than you'll ever know.....He handled himself nicely considering it was a STUPID question to ask. He probably should have told the reporter to go away unless you have something substantive to ask. Should a player from UCONN know whether it's STIN-ett or stin-ETT? How about a BoSox crossdresser knowing the difference between a bad lisp and Big Poppy?

Seriously, there can't be 5 people in the world any worse at what they do than you are at what you do.

It was a stupid question from a bad journalist and for you to claim disrespect shows EXACTLY how big a classless fool you are. You are such an annoying $10/month troll it's no longer even funny.

Re: Aldrich trying to pronounce names

PS What's worse:


A) A player for team that cannot pronounce the name of a player for another team that he hasn't ever played against (and isn't responsible for calling the game).


or

B) A so called "journalist" who isn't even prepared enough to get the record right for the team of the coach he is interviewing?


Hmmmm.....which shows more disrespect?

Re: Aldrich trying to pronounce names

Personally, I thought it was pretty funny. I didn't see any slight/disrespect coming from Aldrich. Seems like he's a nice kid.

I heard Izzo today on Mike and Mike saying he was just referring to them by numbers.

I don't think this was disrespectful. I know I thought it was pronounced Kwad-zo and not Ka-Jo the first time I saw it.

Exactly....the only way I am any happier about Aldrich losing Saturday is if it had been to WSU instead of UNI. It was a brilliant day to say the least.

But Cole is a good kid and in no way shape or form was what he did or how he said it even borderline disrespectful. Only a mentally handicapped individual or a total buffoon would think he was disrespectful. Which is it Matilda?
