This is embarrasing and absolutely unacceptable.

I don't mind fights, as long as they are in your own practice at your own place. Sometimes it's good to have a little competition and get some guys pissed off because it may change some attitudes and get some guys fired up. Happens a ton in football, and if I remember correctly we had a few during the summer in football. No big deal to me.

That being said, that is NOT what this was. Stansbury has lost complete control of this team, and this fight was not a result of some good friendly competition. This was a fight of frustration, and a fight of someone who doesn't care about anything but himself. I completely blame Stansbury for this because he knew Sidney's personality, and he knew this guy track record of being lazy and selfish, yet thought maybe he could change him. He brought this cancer to our team, and now it's spread throughout the entire squad.

I'm officially done with Stansbury, and I think this may be the event some of us Stansbury haters have been waiting for to get him out of here this year. I doubt this is the national image Stricklin wants our basketball team and our university. This may be it for him, because this is completely unacceptable for our team, and I don't think we are going to deal with this drama anymore.

Agree with most of this but I don't think Stansbury can really be blamed for an immature piece of **** (Sidney) throwing blows inside an arena. Yes, the head coach is ultimately responsible for the actions of all his players, but he can't really be there all the time. In other words, if Sidney is going to throw blows, he is going to do it whether there are coaches, players, media, cameras, children around or not.

It's clear that we are dealing with a head case here. Maybe it was Stansbury's fault for not seeing this when he recruited him but I don't think we should jump on his *** for this.

With that said, if he lets Sidney put on a Mississippi State uniform again, then we have bigger problems. This guy threw punches in a %$$#$@% arena full of kids and fans from around the country. Not to mention camera's everywhere that can broadcast this to the world. Rick and MSU have worked their *** off for an entire year to get this guy eligible and put our University's image on the line. Not to mention all that Rick has gone through. Sidney needs to realize his NBA chances are completely up to how he performed this year in college, and maybe next year also. I'm sick of this joke squad embarrassing our school and fans. He should be on a plane home by noon today.

Eat **** Renardo. You are a piece of ****!
