It's amazing how many posters we have on this board that KNOW they're smarter than Chris Beard.
Perry to Ole Miss
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
Yeah. Legit players. We aren't talking about Darius Miller transferring here.
Nobody ever said it wasn't a big deal. He has said he should've walked away. This is also a helluva long way from "woman beating".
All of those things can be true.
One is based on fact. The other sounds like a petulant child. But sure...you do you boo.
Facts? LOL what facts would you have unless you were the police who investigated. But keep being a loser.
We trash Beard and I agree he was absolutely in the wrong. Shame on him. The boards bows at Pitino's feet and he is a scumbag plus. Screwing a waitress in a restaurant and all the other sleazy crap he has done. Why in heck do some or most people feel we should have hire Rick instead of Pope? If i had the number one high school kid in America as a son, I would not let him come play for our Wildcats if Pitino was coaching here. He is just an immoral human, good coach and that is about his only good quality.
I agree. The focus should be on retaining and obtaining top talent, no matter what state or county they are from.
On a separat note, could you imagine this board and it's faux outrage if Cal was still coach and Perry transferred?
This board would have crashed with all the you ran off one of our own, you recruited over perry, and I hate cal stuff. It would have put the d Allen comedy gold to shame lol.
There would've been pitchforks and a rally on Richmond Road.
This time one of our own "ran off" one of our own and we don't know what to do. lol
If he were from Des Moines, he wouldn't have been here in the first place.
I agree, 1 time is enough. Doesn’t matter if she was emotional or in a state of hatred and made it up or hell maybe there was a rough tango between em. No woman has ever instigated physical contact and then cried foul when a guy defended himself, ever. He should be banned forever from top tier schools. Because something might or might not have happened. RR experts deemed him guilty and that’s all that mattered. Not the prosecutors that dropped the case.
And yet he wasn’t found guilty. It’s almost like the prosecutors know something you don’t.
I could be wrong, I have been before but this seems like a money issue to me. Last year UK was thin on players that could contribute and he didn’t get much time. I was hoping by year 3 with his IQ and hard work he could compensate for lack of athleticism and get some minutes. Im not sure what Beard sees in him but he sees something enough to give him a spot. It’ll be interesting to see how this works out.
Were you there because if not how do you know your story is the true side of the story?
I was not there.
I also didn't see Barry Bonds or Mark McGwire stick a needle in their butt.
I know enough to know what I know is what happened.
How some of you can live such an absolute literal existence is wild to me. Would have loved to have been your child. I'd have gotten away with murder.
Adults don't claim to have facts about a situation when they weren't there.
I saw a video of Diddy beating the hell out of one of his girlfriends after he punched her in the face and she was laid out he kicked her and then started dragging her by her hair back to the room what a despicable being
Disagree.
We usually keep up with all our former players to some degree.
We’ve had a Hopkins thread and he’s been gone for a few years.
We’ve had threads on Collins and Ivisic.
We talk about Wagner all the time, but that’s mainly because of Cal.
Perry being a homegrown talent does seem to draw a little more attention than other former Cats who transferred, but that’s to be expected.
But it’s not just the homegrown boys that get talked about.
I wish the kid the best. However, I think it was a TERRIBLE decision to leave UK, especially with Pope as coach. He would’ve been given more chances to succeed. Under Cal, I could more understand the transfer.
I believe she dropped the charges which is not the same as saying she lied. Either way, who cares? He isn’t leading a student ministry. He’s a basketball coach. What happens in his personal life is between him and his wife, even if he is a likely piece of crap.
You really struggle with reading comprehension, huh? Please quote post where I said Beard did nothing wrong. If you can do that, I'll wear it. Spoiler...You can't.Says the guy who is saying Beard did nothing wrong.
I’m not saying he is innocent. I’m saying the prosecutors have way more details than we do and they decided not to push it. Me personally, when I worked law enforcement long time ago, if I showed up and both had marks both went to jail. Females don’t get a free pass, or they shouldn’t. It isn’t a male thing and can’t assume the male is always the aggressor because I saw differently.
I agree unless he is doing something that is against the law which potential abuse is. Unlike some people in this thread I don't claim to know the facts but dropping charges or trying to say you lied and it didn't happen is classic behavior of someone who is being abused.
Innocence until proven guilty is a law concept and doesn’t apply to the court of public opinion. However, I think we can all understand why that concept exists. None of us want to be treated as guilty for something we may not have done. We absolutely know something went down with Beard and I don’t condone whatever it is in part or whole, but we don’t know all the details. Therefore, I can’t see what I’d have to gain by standing on my pedestal when we have an absence of information or context. That won’t keep me from making the jokes because I like to kid about things. I don’t think it’s any of my business what happens in his marriage. Not to get political, but we have become inundated with this de-emphasis of the importance and power of the family. We, as a culture, do not see marriage as its own self-government in the way that I believe we used to. When we are not talking about a man with a guilty verdict for anything, and are inserting into his marriage and making proclamations about him, I think that’s a step too far for me personally. I also understand that I am far more conservative than most people and respect that others have a different view about these things. Ultimately, I don’t view coaches based on their conduct anyway, as long as they aren’t breaking the rules of the sport. I believe In meritocracy.
All the back and forth on Beard is meaningless. He is a douche but paid to win basketball games. He beat unc and made the sweet 16 last year so that's all that matters to ole miss.
It’s all that should matter. We don’t hesitate to point out that we have eight national championships even though the 1948, 1949 and 1951 title teams were all directly or indirectly associated with a point shaving scandal. I find it funny how quickly fans will turn a nose up elsewhere while also turning a blind eye to our own history. The only thing that should matter to fans is that we are the greatest program in college basketball history, not how moral we were during each title. Same concept here —- Beard’s job is to win, not to be an example of the goodwill of mankind.
Yea Beard is an elite coach who is paid to win games. I’ve noticed over the years it’s the programs who are struggling to be relevant or win big that always start pointing to ethical considerations when they can’t point to banners. We saw this often in Cals last 6 years, even by Calipari himself - but “ he’s helping the community”.
In his first 6 or 7 many of us would laugh at the ethical nonsense sprayed by other struggling programs. The “PayPalCal” days.
Indiana does this often as well. Points to how dirty “everyone else” is.
It’s just excuses. We said the same about Calipari when he was at Memphis. I did it constantly back then too, having reasons why Memphis was out performing Tubby, made it about morals because we couldn’t get over the hump. So I’ve been guilty of it.
If Ole Miss says it’s okay to hire Beard then their investigation into the matter should suffice the rest. These universities aren’t hiring a man they know is a woman beater lol. And if we hired Beard and he won big we’d all say it was a misunderstanding and hang the banners if he brought them.
