Cross post from the NCAA thread, but one of SBNation's writers is from Evansville and he spent the week before the UE / UK game with Walter McCarty: https://www.sbnation.com/2019/11/18..._source=twitter He also wrote an article a few years ago on the 40th anniversary of the plane crash that killed the team and coaching staff right as UE had moved up from Division II to I: https://www.sbnation.com/2019/11/18..._source=twitter

Speaking of, I read A Season On The Brink and despite it aging very poorly in A few areas, enjoyed it. Any other books like that worth reading?

I can't recommend Ken Dryden's The Game enough. E: John U. Bacon's "3 and Out" is a pretty good look at Rich Rodriguez's tenure at Michigan, sabotaged by both his own decisions and people undermining him at the school DJExile fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Nov 19, 2019 |

I mainly remember it for "Why did Ron Artest leave the game early? Because he wanted to beat the crowd!" which absolutely slew me at the time.

Whenever I think of the Pistons I think of this line from the Hilarious Michael Jordan Steroid Discussion Threadquote:Contrasting to Michael's "Me first" style the Pistons played the game the right way.

The funniest part of Malice in the Palace is Artest getting back to the locker room and asking Stephen Jackson "do you think we'll get in trouble?" with complete sincerity

I remember watching Malice at the Palace in my dining hall freshman year of college. I couldnt get people's attention to show then and eventually I had to tell my friends to shut the gently caress up and look at the TV

DJExile posted:fuckin christ i die reading this thread every time quote:Ron Artest wasn't mentally prepared for the heavy cycles Jordan introduced him to. This backfired in a way MJ never expected when in a fit of roid rage Ron Artest broke two of Jordan's ribs. Artest later went on to attack a fan during a basketball game in an event known as "Malice in the Palace". That's the risk with introducing steroid to a young person, you never know how they are going to react. Everything comes back to Michael Jordan's Steroid usage.

He got super ripped right after leaving to play baseball at the height of the PED era, it's not that hard to put two and two together

Magary was writing for them even before Deadspin imploded. I think the idea was that it'd replace what he was previously doing for GQ, but now I assume it'll get some of the deadspin stuff too
