HuskieatHeart: np, u know the ncaa would do anything to bring down C MisterThamel: It's a common goal, I assure you. And just to think, I was starting to get really frustrated since that last lead about impurities in the Caliberry Orange Leaf yogurt panned out. That crap is as pure as Roy Williams. HuskieatHeart: lol MisterThamel: Seriously though, Mark, I do appreciate the help. Between us, I know it's not much, but having two investigators look into NN's recruitment will mar C's reputation even more. HuskieatHeart: yes, but just 2 warn u, we do this a lot and it nvr really amounts 2 much, just smoke MisterThamel: Well, with C, wherever there's smoke, there's always fire. HuskieatHeart: omg was that a cliche? MisterThamel: Ugh, yes. Sorry, I've been on pins and needles all day waiting to release this story. Someone has to stop C, and since it looks like 4D and Dana have turned soft, it's really up to me now. HuskieatHeart: yeah, for real…whats up with Pat? didnt he move 2 yahoo 2 take him down? MisterThamel: That's what we all thought. I literally spent hours in bars with other writers spreading the word about his expose...after the Big East Tournament, I doubt I can drink a Cape Cod again. But it was all for naught, because UK just had to go ahead and win the NC, didn't they? By the way, how did you manage to shake his hand? I would have puked. HuskieatHeart: i just pictured him as bobby knight and faked it MisterThamel: Well done! I have to tell you, I can't believe Bobby actually took our bet not to say his or UK's name so far. I had him lasting two months, not most of the regular season! HuskieatHeart: lol, i know! the office luvd that. i sent him a case of johnny walker MisterThamel: Yeah…still waiting on mine… HuskieatHeart: oh ya, in the mail MisterThamel: I think I've earned it at this point. From going to Turkey to interview that slob from Fenerbahce to risking my life in Birmingham to ask about Bledsoe to tracking down NN's barber and literally collecting his clippings, I'm at my wit's end. Did you know I couldn't sit down for a week after I got back from Turkey?? Do you know what the humidity in Birmingham did to my hair? And don't get me started on running into that thug DeMarcus Cousins at the Derby last year… HuskieatHeart: u have been a trooper, pete. stay strong. MisterThamel: Well, someone has to do it. Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale… HuskieatHeart: wtf MisterThamel: It's literature, Mark, literature… 5/8/2012 11:22 PM: MisterThamel has left the conversation HuskieatHeart: oh, moby dick. wait didnt the whale win in the end? HuskieatHeart: pete? 5/8/2012 11:31 PM: HuskieatHeart has left the conversation
