- More bad behavior from a Frenchie -- Murray, 08:31:41 11/05/02 Tue
E V A N S V I L L E, Ind., Oct. 30 — A Frenchwoman accused of undressing during an airport security screening could face up to three years in prison if convicted under a law passed after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Eliane Yvonne Marcele Aguillaume, 56, of Paris, burst into tears Tuesday when a judge explained the possible penalties through an interpreter.
Judge Robert J. Tornatta found probable cause for charges of disorderly conduct at an airport, a felony, and resisting law enforcement and public indecency, both misdemeanors. Aguillaume was scheduled to be formally charged Friday.
Deputy Prosecutor Dawnya Taylor said the felony charge stemmed from a state law passed in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The law took effect July 1. It has never been applied in southwest Indiana, she said.
The statute prescribes a sentence of six months to three years, with one year the standard.
"We're going to have to decide if the incident rose to the level of a felony," Taylor said.
Aguillaume was arrested Monday at Evansville Regional Airport after she allegedly stripped to the waist in an angry response to a security screener's attempt to search her with a metal-detecting wand.
During a routine security screening, authorities say Aguillaume kept reaching inside her sweater, forcing guards to search her again.
Aguillaume then became upset and allegedly removed her sweater, shirt and bra. Police said Aguillaume tried to pull away as an officer attempted to handcuff her. She later dropped to the ground and refused to get up.
Aguillaume, who was returning to France after attending the wedding of a nephew in the Evansville area, was booked in the Vanderburgh County Jail and released after posting a $5,300 bond.

- HUGE PROPS!!!!! -- Xavier Supporter, 00:04:30 11/05/02 Tue
I want to give a BIG shout out to the new improved Xavier Basketball board.
It is WAY more informative than the old Musketeer Madness and is a lot more enjoyable to read. Most of the news and updates that are posted on Musketeer Madness doesn't get up nearly as quick as you guys get it up on the new board, and the open discussions are much more insightful than those on Musketeer Madness. Most of their updates just come from one guy who probably gets it off of the new board, and the replies that it generates isn't nearly as interesting or as fun to read. I hope the new moderators on the old board realize how fucking stupid they are for driving everyone off.
BIG PROPS TO ALL OF YOU FOR MAKING THE BOARD AS COOL AS IT IS AND MAKING IT SO MUCH FUN AND INFORMATIVE. IT IS WAY BETTER THAN MUSKETEER MADNESS!!!

I have since discovered the new board but there is no mention of whether the old board still exists. I know many have been banned but I cannot even log onto the site at all. Have I been banned or has the site totally folded? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

- Cigar Boy interviews Bob Huggins -- CB, 18:47:15 10/03/02 Thu
Cigar Boy here, with my latest installment in my inane series of interviews with people who probably have more improtant things to do than talk to me. This week, I was wondering around Christ Hospital, trying to get a free lunch from the tray of a sleeping patient, when I stumbled into none other than "Huggy Bear" Bob Hugginsses room.
Well I nearly peed my pants. I had not been this excited since I was twelve and I ran down the street real fast because I found a dime under some dog poop. I was only a dime away from buying my favorite Cabbage Patch doll. I was real excited that time.
I put my cornmeal mush in my pocket for later and pulled out my tape recorder. When I write, I copy every word that is on my tape recorder because that makes for the best reading. Turns out, the tape recorder was in the same pocket I put the mush in, so it was a little oogy when I took it out. Here is the interview. I didn't know some of the words Huggins used, so I just use words that sound like it.
Plus, about halfway through, I started eating some of the mush off the tape recorder. It's my sisters tape recorder. It used to have "My Little Pony" stickers on it, but I must have licked those off too. You can hear me lick and cough a couple of times when Huggs is talking.
Cigar Boy: Holy Shit! Bob Huggins! Bob Freakin Huggins!
Huggs: Nurse!
CB: No, I'm not a nurse. I'm a really important journalist here to interview you.
H: No interviews. NURSE!
CB: I don't like interviews either. I just like to talk and write down things I say.
Nurse: Excuse me sir, you'll have to leave.
CB: He shouldn't leave, he just had a heart attack.
N: Then you should leave, sir.
CB: But, I, um I er, I'm his brother.
N: I'm sorry sir. I should have realized with your giant head and blatent disregard for personal health and. Hi Gene.
CB: Who is Gene?
N: I'll go make sure we have another bed in cardiac care. You'll need one in a couple of minutes.
H: I swear if I could get up I would tear you a new one.
CB: Ha ha. Great one Huggs.
H: Fine. I'll answer 5 questions if you promise to leave.
CB: Fair enough. How's the ticker?
H: Well, it's really kind of a medical mystery. I was having chest pains, so I went to the hospital in Pittsburgh. The ambulance took a long time to get to the hospital, so I had them drive through Burger King on the way.
CB: I like Wendy's
H: Shut up. I got to the hospital, and the first test they ran said that all blood flow was restricted in my heart, so they cracked me open. Turns out, I had no heart. It's what allowed me to promise kids an education only to ship them out when something better came along.
CB: Buskens has heart shaped cookies at Valentines day. What did you do?
H: It was no problem. That Hicks kid I got coming in had all kinds of heart. After he got himself shot in the leg, he coudn't run as fast. I thought he was going to be a total bust. Little did I know I could harvest his blood-pumper.
CB: Wow. What are your 3 favorite movies?
H: You are an idiot. I can't believe you can breathe on your own. Please tell me you don't get paid for this.
CB: Hmm. I missed all of those in the theatre. I'll have to rent them. I really have to take a leak. Can I use your bathroom?
H: Yes, and that counts as a question.
CB: What?
H: I said 'That counts as a question'. That's 5 now. Fuck off.

The driver stopped to render aid to the victim. Police say the man who was hit was running across the freeway chasing after a partially empty can of beer.
The victim was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital where he is listed in critical condition. No word if the driver will face any charges.

- Links -- Homeskillet, 18:00:59 10/21/02 Mon
Why the hell do we still have links to Musketeer Madness up on this board? Not one, but two links are on here. By comparison, Musketeer Madness refuses to link to any other message board, and, even if they revised that policy, would certainly never consider this board proper enough to warrant a link.
Even more insulting, the colostomy bag wearing bastards in control over there now routinely delete the posts of longtime board posters who happen to frequent both MM and this board, and, indeed, have eliminated any mention of one such poster at all.
The final straw was removal of a post comparing D'Artagnan to Ron Jeremy. It was the first time I ever respected that French mascot and those geriatrics had to deprive me of that as well. Screw them.
Therefore, I move the Cartel Executive Committee to immediately remove all links to MM from this board. Hell, we all know where it's at if we really need to find it, and they aren't doing us any favors.

- The Army of Porn Act -- X-band '01, 00:05:25 10/19/02 Sat
It was a hard decision, but the General Assembly of the Republic of X-band '01 passed the AOP Act by a 69-50 vote this week. I, President X-band '01, will now sign the bill into law, effective 19 October 2002.
A lot of factors went into the decision, but here were 4 ultimate sticking points:
1)Every Xavier fan is entitled to visit the best possible Xavier BB sites on the web, period. The Cartel offers comic relief, and also has knowledgeable posters on its staff.
2)Although the Republic of X-band '01 has no official stance on the appointments of Muskieman and Shadow as board moderators, the Republic DOES not approve of the censoring of names of certain posters who will go unnamed. MM is now a censored board.
3)The Republic STRONGLY condemns the banishment of the House of Snipe from Musketeer Madness - HRMSIII is a longtime poster and fan. I refuse to support a site of which he is not a part of, and effective 19 October 2002, I will suspend posting to Musketeer Madness until THOS has his posting privileges restored.
4)The content that this board provides is world-class and occasionally controversial, but what is any board without controversy? I for one enjoy the prose of The Truth for example, and is our most underrated poster.
That said, the Cartel and the Republic have shared common interest for some time. A few examples:
-A disdain for the surrenderin' French
-Beer
-Kevin Smith movies
-Beer
-Midgets (sorry, little people)
-Beer
-The Man Show
-Did I mention beer?
I now offer a peace treaty to the Cartel - with the final seal of approval from one Pablo Escobar and Col. Homeskillet, I will deploy troops for AOP training at Ft. Smut in Burnt Scrotum, New Mexico.
I also nominate Najeh Davenport to be part of the AOP - click here for the poop, er, scoop on Davenport.
Our first game is less than a month away, and it is time to start focusing on the season. All that stands between us and the PNIT semifinals are a bunch of peacocks and Christmas trees that call themselves the Cardinal. Let us not fail.
Signed 19 October 2002

- What are guys need to work on -- NO JUSTICE! NO PEACE!, 14:15:59 10/17/02 Thu
I trust our boys worked hard over the summer and hopefully upgraded their skills. Here's my arm chair analysis of what each team member needs to take himself "to the next level:
West: outside shot, facing the basket, driving skills
Sato: DRIVING TO THE HOOP. He can shoot the 3 like Curly Neal - he just needs this to be the total package (sorry Smydra)
Chalmers: playing under control, lower turnovers. FREE THROWS!
Young: more offense.
Coleman: I hope he did not miss one buffet over the summer. He needs some beef and better foot work.
Jackson: Made some Freshman mistakes and played out of control sometimes. Heard he beefed up a little and has worked on his outside shot. He will need that b/c he will not be needed to bang down low this year.
Thad: It will be interesting how he works with the talent he has. Almost an entire new offense is needed b/c of the new additions. He will have to have a better motion offense and maybe even press more to fully utilize all of the bodies. We can wear down the other teams without any real loss of talent. I hope he makes ample use of his subs.
I don't know enough about the other guys to offer any opinion on how they might improve.

- Dave Young - don't really care about his offense so much this year. He has shown that he has ability, albeit streaky, to score. I hope, most of all, DY has learned to defend. He may well match up against teams best player (until Sato and he switch) and I'd like him to spell Sato some on the defensive end. Plus, I'd like him banging in the paint - he's got wide shoulders and a big body for a 3. (NT) -- Matsushira, 15:46:05 10/17/02 Thu
- Young was really coming on at the end of last year, and if that continues he will be a huge asset to the team. He is the type of player that coaches like. He does a little bit of everything. With all the attention that the other kids draw, I see Jackson and Young doing very well with their opportunities. And I think you need to switch the "FREE THROWS" from Chalmers to Sato. (NT) -- The House of Humboldt, 21:26:15 10/18/02 Fri
- I have been most concerned about Chalmers pretty much all summer. With J. Williams's departure, he becomes even more critical. If Chalmers can reduce his turnovers by just one a game, and up his assists by just one a game, he begins to look like one of the top points in the country. If he can do that, and continue to act a a scoring threat, this team will be lethal. (NT) -- Homeskillet, 10:47:08 10/21/02 Mon
- Thoughts and observations from Madness event today -- Pablo, 00:22:55 10/21/02 Mon
I went to the event today at the Cintas center and was impressed. Here are some random observations;
West was on fire - didn't keep track of how many points he had (and the fact that they were serving beer didn't help) but there were great drives to the basket, a couple 3's and overall great play from our leader. Standing Ovation for him when introduced. He looked great, no surprise to hear people very appreciative of him staying.
Sato is HUGE. His guns are almost as big as mine. He once again showed great skill and looks like he has worked hard on his game. Fell down and possibly hurt his wrist from what it looked like but still played the entire three - ten minute periods. He can shoot and was dunking with authority in the warmups.
Chalmers Vs Finn. Interesting. Chalmers to his credit had two break away dunks to Finn's one and it was obvious to all that Chalmers has more court experience - but Finn can play. Juked Chalmers out of his shoes with a great crossover to a layup. He missed a couple open shots - but this kid will be very good for Xavier. I was impressed with both of their skill level.
Caudle/Smith. I like them both - Smith had the biggest ovation of the day when he powered up out of nowhere and slammed it home over D. West. OOOHS and AAAHHS filled the Cintas center. It was so good to see how big our team has gotten from last year.
Coleman/Jackson/Young. I have liked all three. Coleman looks more comfortable than ever. Could contribute nicely. Jackson is my underdog for the year. I hope all the rumors of him wanting out are just rumors. Explosive play - great alley-oop and fantastic athletic ability once again shined through from Cincy's own Keith Jackson. Lost the cornrows. Young looks bigger than ever - solid play.
White kids - Did well. The new guy (Christensen? was looking at the cheerleaders more than the ball a couple times and Caldwell threw up a great three for a very nice ovation.
Some minor jawing between Chalmers and Caudle.
Cheerleaders - a couple were pretty cute. The male cheerleader leader was a complete and utter tool. He sucked almost more than the weeman cheerleader. All dorks in my book.
They had a combo Spirit squad and a dance team and the cheerleaders. There were tons of jiggles and even more giggles when they all came out and danced to Twisted Sister (I am not making that up) Some uglys (to be expected) and some girls with massive junk in the trunk and way too many trips to the yogurt machine and taco bar - but there were a couple cuties.
No Sprinkler dork was sighted.
No Khans Krazies and instead of balls they threw T-Shirts.
Band was there - couple face painters.
All in all the play was rusty but it was great to see some basketball action after so many months off.

- New Board Rules -- THE JUST AND MERCIFUL NO JUSTICE! NO PEACE!, 17:05:56 10/19/02 Sat
Chatboard Rules & Guidelines
By the Cartel Staff. 10/17/2002
By posting to one of the Pablo J. Escobar Chatboards (Cartel Style or the XU/UC smack board), you agree to the following Rules:
1. Forum participants must not wear pants.
2. Posters must select a unique handle and use it for all posts.
3. There are recruiting prospects that read these boards. DO NOT BADMOUTH PLAYERS OR PROSPECTS until AFTER they sign. Only badmouth them if they do not pick Xavier.
4. We encourage posts violating NCAA recruiting rules! Please see the Penthouse Fourum for more reading. Discussion of high school bitches is permitted of course, but by actually contacting said bitches you could be mistaken as a representative for Xavier University or Hustler.
5. No airing of complaints against the Board Operators, or their decisions in moderating the forum. Airing of complaints against Board Operators of the increasingly FRENCH MM board - especially the Shadow - are encouraged. Email us and we will handle these issues in private and have the appropriate offenders wedgied.
6. No posting of advertisements or links for products, services, or other web sites not pertinent to XU Athletics. Especially anything to do with that stupid f'ing Longaberger basket cult. (except Porn).
7. No posting of advertisements or links for non-site items without authorization of the proprietors. (again, except Porn)
8. Illegal activity is encouraged. Copyright infringement (i.e., through posting of articles not intended for non-paying public; through posting copyrighted articles, excerpts, or stories as one’s own, et al.) is completely acceptable and will be tolerated. We are entitled to free shit and they can prosecute us if they find us (We could always have Gary defend us or we out him to his boss).
9. Obscene material or references are encouraged. Pofane/vulgar statements are expected and to be used as nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
10. No mindless flaming. Only good, clean wholesome flaming where someone loses an eye is acceptable. While dissenting opinions are certainly welcome and add to the character of the forums, posts whose purpose is solely to get a rise out of the forum participants are our God damn right as Americans.
11. Personal attacks, either in the forums or via email, are expected to be witty and bloody. Disagreements are inevitable on any discussion forum, but we expect you to keep things mean and pointless.
12. Blatant insults are subject to extended analysis and will be judged on a 10 point scale. You are held responsible for YOUR own actions and don't be a pussy. If you are attacked you must respond or you lose all cred. You are expected to get into name calling, insult other posters, or a public figures. You cannot disagree without attacking.
13. No long subject lines. If what you have to say takes more than a couple of words, put it in the MESSAGE box.
14. Please reproduce copy written material. Please use links to articles on other sites so we can get free stuff. This is especially true for sites that have subscription content for which users pay a fee to view. Also, before you link to an article in a forum, check the Headlines page to make sure it hasn't already been linked. Again, we are entitled to free stuff.
15. No private, unsolicited use of IP or email addresses found on this site. Narcing is strictly shadowesque. Additionally, soliciting personal information from board participants is the height of rudeness (except if they are hot). People will share what they want to share; the rest is their own business.
16. Requests for tickets, questions about hotels, etc., should be handled by scalpers only. The Ticket Exchange is available for via Chief Couch. We take no responsibility for exchanges that you choose to make there - and encourage you to wear three belts (just be careful with the Chief!)
17. Starting rumors in our forums intended to hurt others is strictly encouraged.
18. Spreading rumors in our forums (without tasteful boundaries) is heartily encouraged.
19. DO NOT POST IN ALL CAPS.
20. Anything "in-between" that could be considered disruptive to the board. The final decision on account termination is up to the Cartel.
Violation of any of these rules will result in posts being deleted. Repeated violations will result in revocation of posting privileges.
Also, please be aware that this site is dedicated to coverage of and discussion about the athletic programs associated with the Xavier University. As such, the vast majority of participants are Xavier fans who will probably not take kindly to negative opinions about the school or teams, no matter how well intentioned. Fans from other teams, both opponents and not, are certainly not welcome here, but we want to make sure you understand the atmosphere of the group and have set your expectations accordingly.
Treat the board operators with utmost respect. By posting on this board you agree to the above. If you violate the board rules, then you allow us to take action. WE DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BEHAVIOR OF POSTERS ON THIS BOARD. We do the best we can to keep others in line with the above. Unused accounts may be deleted over time. 90% of our visitors do not post at all. Wide ranges of people visit this site, young and old. Conduct yourself in appropriately.
SO LET IT BE WRITTEN. SO LET IT BE DONE!

- The season either starts or ends November 20th. -- BP, 13:21:20 10/16/02 Wed
Our season was dealt what could become the biggest blow or the biggest boost of the year in the last week. With the NIT's decision that Stanford will host the XU-Stanford game assuming both teams advance past their first round opponents, X's road to the final four becomes significantly more challenging.
That game will be the single biggest game in the history of Xavier basketball. Win this game, and go into MSG with a decent road win already under our belts, and 2 more games gauranteed, most likely against solid opponents. Even 2 losses in NY would not be as devastating as losing the Stanford game. Moreover, we will arrive in NY on a high note, with added confidence. I don't think this team could do any worse than 3rd if they get to NY, and I honestly believe that if they get there, it's 50/50 that they win the whole thing.
Let's take a look at where we might be if we win the NIT, assuming we go through Florida and Kansas to get there. 5-0, 3-0 away from home, 2 wins against preseason top 10 teams (TSN), including toppling #1 Kansas. If the wins are convincing, you'll see some #1 votes for X.
Even if we lose to Kansas, we could stay top 10, learn from our mistakes, and move on to Purdue, UC, Miami, and back to MSG for the game with Miss St. Run those 4 even with a 2nd place finish in the PNIT, and I think we're still top 5, with some serious quality wins. 8-1 with the only loss to the preseason #1.
On the other hand. The Stanford home crowd is riled up for the #5 Muskies. Early season jitters, a good Stanford game, a little jet lag, and Stanford's one OOC loss at home in the last five year are too much to overcome. X heads home. No NY, no MSG, no 1st or 2nd or 3rd or 4th place. Just home with one bad win and a mediocre road loss. 2-1 and a long break to think about the Stanford game, going into Purdue at home, at UC, Miami at home, then Miss St., with our only real test so far being a failure. Squeak one out against Purdue, UC's dominant home court is too much for us to take them down a 3rd time (only one non CUSA team has won twice at the shoe). Rebound against Miami, but road weary, drop the Miss St. game.
Losses at Stanford, UC, and neutral Miss St. None of those would be bad losses. Stanford and UC never lose at home, and we have to go into both places now. We're 4-3, and regarded as a disappointment already.
It's Puerto Rico all over again, gents. This is a better team, but a single early season stumble will significantly change the complexion of the season.
I would have rather had the Stanford game at home. The 2 game reward is worth the risk of losing whatever mysterious adjustment the committee makes for 'road wins'.
However, when we win the PNIT, it will just be that much sweeter. Frankly, it wouldn't bother me a bit if we got to go through BU in the Gardens to get to MSG. I just want to get there. From there, we're in control.

- Clearly, the PNIT is huge and the Stanford game is the most crucial game of the bunch. I for one willbegin to doubt our whole season if we can't beat Stanford. On paper, we are significantly better than the Cardinal. If we can't beat teams like this on the road, how can we seriously entertain thoughts of a long post season run? They have one guy back who averaged more than 10 points. Hell, they very well may lose to BU and moot the whole issue. The bottom line is, we need to get to NYC and preferably win the whole damn thing. (NT) -- Homeskillet, 14:57:17 10/16/02 Wed
- At Stanford is no easy win, but we might not even play them. Stanford is ripe for the taking. They have key losses, and we are a veteran team. We have all the ingredients to be successfull right off the bat. If we can make noise in the PNIT, it would go a long way towards making a statement. Then again, Syracuse won the PNIT last year, and ended up in the post season NIT. If we lose to Stanford, the PNIT will probably hurt our SOS. If we win that game, our SOS numbers will go up. That is probably the biggest impact. We are a better team than Stanford on paper. -- The House Of Humbodt, 22:47:05 10/18/02 Fri
- Early Projections -- The House of Humboldt, 21:27:03 10/14/02 Mon
While we are waiting for X-band '01 to convert to the Army of Porn, I thought that I would run down the schedule.
NON CONFERENCE
Home Games (7-0) I believe that we will win all of our home games in the non-conference. St Peters, Florida A&M, Purdue, Miami, Ball State, Eastern Kentucky, and Creighton. Over the past 6 seasons, we are averaging less than 1 home loss per year, I expect us to win at home.
Away/Neutral Court Games (2-3) If we have trouble, I believe it will be away from home. Playing Stanford, Cincinnati, and Alabama on the road all in one season is as tough as it gets. It is almost impossible to come out of those places with a win. I think that at Siena is a very winnable game comparatively, and that Mississpi State on a neutral court is winnable as well. If we could just have a winning record in these away games while holding the home court true our season will be off to a flying start.
Final Nonconference record 9-3
A-10 Regular Season
We play in the toughest division of the A-10. I think that UD and Richmond will be very tough places to play. LaSalle could also grab one if we don't watch it. I don't think that the Dukes or GW will cause much of a problem this year, but we have had trouble with those teams in the past, especially playing at GW. I don't see that this year, at least I hope.
The three Eastern teams that we play on the road this year are Fordham, UMass, and St. Joes. SJU lost 4 starters, and we have never, ever lost to Fordham since joining this conference. UMass could cause us problems in Amherst, they have had our number in the past. I believe that UMass is the only team that we have a regular season losing record against in conference play. We need to beat them on the road this year.
The three Eastern teams we play at home are Temple, URI, and SBU. We have never lost at home to any of these teams, and I don't expect that to happen this year. URI is a breeze, and playing the Bonnies at the Cintas is playing a very different team than you play in Olean. It won't be 8 on 5 this year. Temple is the biggest problem, but I don't think we will fail in the season finale.
We went 14-2 in the regular season last year, and that is the best we have ever done in conference. Little margin for error exists to repeat that feat. If you offered me 13-3 right now, I just might take it. I think that 13-3 is a sensible pick given the number and location of the games involved, so I will go with that.
A-10 Regular Season 13-3
Home (8-0)
Away (5-3)
A-10 Tournament
We are the best team in this conference, so I am going to pick us to win it. The tournament is played at UD, and if we meet them in it, I don't know if we will be favored. They have only been dancing once under Oliver Purnell, and they know that their best chance is to win the tournament. Their backs will probably be against the wall at that point, given the weakness of our conference in power ratings. We could very easily drop a game up there, and expecting us to win it under those conditions is dicey, but I will do it.
A-10 Tournament Champions 3-0
Final Results
25-6 Overall
Home 15-0
Away/Neutral 10-6
Would that be a successful season? It would be one of the most successful seasons in our history, against one of the tougher schedules that we have played. But, this record would actually be a worse record than last year. It would be worse overall, worse in conference, and probably not amount to the mighty 14 RPI that we achieved last year. I can't tell you where our RPI might be, but 14 is a tough job in the Atlantic 10. So we would probably get screwed again by the selection committee, and have our work cut out for us in the Dance.
The only solution is to win every fucking game. Then they can't screw us or overlook us the way they always do. The most important game on our non-con schedule is not the Shootout, it is at Stanford. If we win that game, we get an additional 2 games on a neutral court against power teams at Madison Square Garden. It will also give us more National TV. Winning that game gives us a chance to change the whole equation, and an outside shot at being in the top ten early in the year. Rankings could help us pull the selection committee's dick out of our ass.
The scary thing is, it would be so easy for us to have a great year pre-NCAA's and still fall short of last year's marks. Going 26-6 is nothing to laugh at. Teams lose games. If we go into this year expecting to better all of last year's marks we might just set ourselves up for a huge dissapointment. I read the same Final 4 prognotications that everyone else does, and I eat them up. The last time we were predicted to the Final Four we lost our best player to injury, and the whole season was seen as a disaster.
So the rabid side of me tells me that we have the talent, experience, and depth to win every one of these bad boys, but the ration side of me tells me that 26-6 would still be a hell of a year.
Time will tell, fire away prognosticators!
And X-Band '01, I know you are out there reading this. Quit sitting on the fence and choose a side. You can dedicate yourself to a life of porn and all will be forgotten. If you choose to spurn porn, you do so at your own peril.

- Excellent work, Humboldt. It was my opinion at the end of last season that it would be difficult to win as many as we did then, despite having what we would all agree is a better team. You are correct that the Stanford game is the big one. I think Xavier will win the PNIT, whether it involves beating Stanford at home or away. But either way, you are correct that the Stanford game gives the opportunity for more exposure than Xavier is used to. I also agree that it will be difficult to top last year's regular season record.

Conference - 13-3 with 2 losses between UMass, GW, Richmond & Dayton on the road, and one home letdown loss. 25-5. Hope and pray we don't have to face Dayton in the A-10 tourney. Win tourney 28-5. RPI in the mid teens again, better resume, all year top 25, 4 seed. Sweet 16 game against 1 seed Kansas. Beat them again. From there, I don't care much, but it seems like they might as well win 3 more and just take the whole damn thing. 34-5. National Champions. It could actually happen.

X-band '01,
I beg you to give me the opportunity to show you the beauty and magic of pornography. When you were being ceaselessly and, in my opinion, cruelly attacked on this board, I stepped forward to declare that I would not support the "band free zone" desired by my more heartless brethren on this board. Unlike our pal the mysterious Wasp Pee, I defended you under my normal moniker. I put my bad name on the line for you. Would you now abandon me to the wolves?
I for one miss the band man. I miss his board, with its lyrical prose regarding the women's lecrosse team and intramural euchre finals. I miss his updates regarding the coach of Boise State and the nickname for Slippery Rock's teams. I think X-band, with his unyielding loyalty and love for Xavier, could have added unimaginable strength to this board. He seemed to hate the French and could easily convert to the way of an alcoholic (alcohol does its own work, he would not need my help there). I have seen the band man lash out at other posters in malicious ways that make me smile. His biggest failing was his porn failure. I never liked BP's attacks on your alleged virginity, band man. Your sex life is your business. But whether you have sex daily or not at all, porn is in your best interest.
I know porn. I know the good, the bad and the ugly, and frankly prefer the last two. I can teach you the way of the porn. If you prefer internet porn, I'm your man. If you like smut mags, I can hook you up. If you prefer the films, be they old school stag, modern teenie, or darker snuff action, I can show you the way. Whatever you need, X-band, I will guide you.
Just as Virgil guided Dante through the Inferno, I can do the same for you (I thought a literary reference might help--see, I read a non-porn book once). Life itself is an inferno, and we all need a guide. Let me be yours, my brother.

A young lady with a disabled car asked me for help on a lonely side street because I looked harmless.
A friend once told me the girl I was with in a bar was young enough to be my daughter.
Redeeming factor She was.
An indication that you are developing a pot is when your lint-catching "innie" turns into a easy-clean "outtie".
I was told by a younger female that it's nice for "someone your age" to be interested in computers. Yeah sweetheart! - for the past 22 years or tears. My first one was a Radio Shack TRS 80 - Model one. Go wipe your nose!!!
Adding a few years must be looked at in it's true prospective - beats the hell out of the alternative.
Adding a few pounds also helps add ballast on those windy days.
Went to pay my taxes and had my bicycle helmet on. Clerk though it was wonderful that I was riding a bike. This is getting old. ;-)))
If you get old enough, females don't thing you're trying to hit on them. Ha! It's just that the appropriate "hittees" are getting older.

O.J. No Longer ’100 Percent Sure’ He is Innocent
Calls Johnnie Cochran’s recent statements ‘thought provoking’
Oct. 16 — Days after former O. J. Simpson defense attorney Johnnie Cochran said on MSNBC that he is “about 90 percent” certain that his client was innocent, Mr. Simpson today said that his attorney had planted “fresh seeds of doubt” in his own mind.
“FOR YEARS, I’VE BEEN pretty sure that I did not murder my wife,” Simpson said today at a golf course in Boca Raton, Fla., where he was taking a rare break from searching for the real killers of his wife. “But if Johnnie’s not 100 percent sure, I’m like, hey, maybe I better take another look at this.” Simpson added that it would be “crazy” not to be swayed by Cochran’s new statements, which he called “thought provoking.” “Look, you’re talking about a guy, Johnnie Cochran, who is a pretty smart guy,” Simpson said. “If he said maybe I did it, then maybe I did it.”
Cochran’s doubts about Simpson’s innocence may help resolve one lingering mystery for the former Heisman Trophy winner: why it has been so difficult for him to find his wife’s real killers, whom he pledged to hunt down after his acquittal in 1995. The former NFL star said that, in light of the new revelations, he may slow down his search, which he said has occupied almost every waking moment of his life for the past seven years. “If it turns out that I’m actually the one who did it, then looking for the real killers would be a big old waste of time,” Simpson said.

on my board, i will not tolerate any of the following:
flaming (ESPECIALLY with uc fans)
insults
humor
disagreements with anything i post
opossing fans
pictures of posters that have nothing to do with basketball
people referring to themselves in the first person
nudity (unless of course it is basketball related)
people posting under the influence
pictures of girrafes playing golf
farting (unless it is basketball related)
chief couch in speedos
fat people in orange shirts
links to other boards that would encourage posters to go elsewhere
impotent midgets
impotent midgets that have been convicted of felonies
anyone who has masturbated within the past 24 hrs.
anything else i may deem to be offensive
just basketball. purely x's and o's. nothing else. there will be 47 moderators. no less than five will be on at a time to delete posts that are even slightly questionable. this board (even moreso than most others) will greatly impact the outcome of major college basketball games, and the general well being of the american public. THERE CAN BE NO NONSENSE!!!
unfortunately for this reason, i can tell NO ONE what the address of the board is or how they may open an account. i can't risk having people post there, seeing as how they might post something offensive.

Colonel: Porn led him to kill wife
Monday, September 30, 2002 Posted: 6:03 PM EDT (2203 GMT)
Lt. Col. David Bartlett Jr. pleaded guilty Monday to killing his wife.
ANNAPOLIS JUNCTION, Maryland (AP) -- A lieutenant colonel at the Army War College pleaded guilty Monday to killing his wife, saying he beat and strangled her as they fought about his use of the Internet to find pornography.
Lt. Col. David Bartlett Jr., 46, reached a plea deal with prosecutors in the slaying of his 39-year-old wife, Suzanne.
Bartlett pleaded guilty to unpremeditated murder, the military equivalent of second-degree murder. Prosecutors -- who had charged him with premeditated murder -- dropped assault and obstruction of justice counts.
Bartlett, the former branch chief of the operations research group at the Center for Strategic Leadership, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole at sentencing next month.
According to Bartlett, the couple argued for several days after his wife discovered he had been viewing pornography on the Internet. On March 19, he said, he beat her with an iron pestle and strangled her with a computer cord after she harassed him, called him names and shoved him.
Bartlett told police she never returned from a walk, but her body was found floating in a creek.
WHEN YOUR WIFE COMPLAINS ABOUT YOUR PORN, BEAT HER WITH AN IRON PESTLE AND STRANGLE HER WITH THE COMPUTER CORD, THEN TOSS HER IN A CREEK. DEFEND DA PORN!!

- Donald Little Cops A Plea -- THE BOB HUGGINS POLITICAL MACHINE, 13:35:42 10/15/02 Tue
Our good friend Donald Little was back in court today, along with yours truely. Let me tell you what a waste of time going to court to watch the Donald saga is. You get their at 9:00, and wait until 11:30 for the judge to come out. You can see the prosecutor and Little's lawyer dealing all the while. They had over 10 separate conference in the hall. At one point, the prosecutor remarked that the case would either be settled or continued today, but their would be no trial. You would think after all these months someone would have the balls to say either take the deal or have the trial. I don't know how many continuances they are allowed to have, but putting this thing off was still an option going into today.
I think that has to wear on the prosecutor after awhile, human nature just dictates that you give a bit and be done with it. Donald copped a pretty good plea. He will be sentenced in December. He pled to a 4th degree felony of aggrivated assault. He will get anywhere from 1 to 18 months according to the judge. He can also be fined from $1 to $5000, have his licence suspended from 6 months to 5 years, and be on probation for awhile.
Had he not copped the plea, he was looking at substantially more time, and all the evidence was against him. One of his partners in this crime did not show up at the trial, for he is being held in jail in Charlotte, NC, for a separate offense. Birds of a feather. I laughed when that came out, and that drew dirty looks from the other people attending the trial. Screw them, and their little felon. Donald Little is a violent criminal. I also made the mistake of wearing my Xavier cap to the trial. Everyone else is in a suit, and one guy is in sweats and a Xavier cap, laughing. WOO HOO! Fuck you Donald, I hope you get fucked up the ass in the big house.
Donald told us that once the truth came out, he would be vindicated, or something to that effect. Well, Donald, you are a loser that is going to jail. He said he would be back in black playing for the Cats, and Mike OfCoursey wrote to that effect in the Sporting News. Donald was at the Bearcat Basketball banquet over the summer. He worked Bob Huggin's basketball league, and was basically hanging around campus all summer. He was even showing recruits around the town. What a nice image to let a violent criminal show your son around the town. I can't believe they never distanced themselves from this clown. If Donald Little and his UC frontman lawyer could have worked a deal down to a misdemeanor, Donald would be playing for the Bearcats this year.
Also amusing was when the trial judge asked Donald if he could read the documents he was signing. Though a UC Graduate, any smart judge can never be too sure. It was classic.
Pablo, I think those UC guys might not be wearing their "I Support Donald" T-shirts anymore. I was wondering if I could get one myself. It would be a great shirt to go to the games in.
So just one week into practice, we have our first UC Bearcat felony. Maybe this just is the dream season that we have all been waiting for.

- For those attending games at the Shoemaker Center -- Matt Andre, 22:49:50 10/01/02 Tue
Please keep an eye out for the following, if you observe anything listed act accordingly.
Heart Attack, Stroke & Cardiac Arrest Warning Signs
Act in Time
The American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute have launched a new "Act in Time" campaign to increase people's awareness of heart attack and the importance of calling 9-1-1 immediately at the onset of heart attack symptoms. Find the links here.
Dial 9-1-1 Fast
Heart attack and stroke are life-and-death emergencies -- every second counts. If you see or have any of the listed symptoms, immediately call 9-1-1. Not all these signs occur in every heart attack or stroke. Sometimes they go away and return. If some occur, get help fast! Today heart attack and stroke victims can benefit from new medications and treatments unavailable to patients in years past. For example, clot-busting drugs can stop some heart attacks and strokes in progress, reducing disability and saving lives. But to be effective, these drugs must be given relatively quickly after heart attack or stroke symptoms first appear. So again, don't delay -- get help right away!
Statistics
Coronary heart disease is America's No. 1 killer. Stroke is No. 3 and a leading cause of serious disability. That's why it's so important to reduce your risk factors, know the warning signs, and know how to respond quickly and properly if warning signs occur.
Heart Attack Warning Signs
Some heart attacks are sudden and intense -- the "movie heart attack," where no one doubts what's happening. But most heart attacks start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Often people affected aren't sure what's wrong and wait too long before getting help. Here are signs that can mean a heart attack is happening:
Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.
Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath. This feeling often comes along with chest discomfort. But it can occur before the chest discomfort.
Other signs: These may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness
If you or someone you're with has chest discomfort, especially with one or more of the other signs, don't wait longer than a few minutes (no more than 5) before calling for help. Call 9-1-1... Get to a hospital right away.
Calling 9-1-1 is almost always the fastest way to get lifesaving treatment. Emergency medical services staff can begin treatment when they arrive -- up to an hour sooner than if someone gets to the hospital by car. The staff are also trained to revive someone whose heart has stopped. You'll also get treated faster in the hospital if you come by ambulance.
If you can't access the emergency medical services (EMS), have someone drive you to the hospital right away. If you're the one having symptoms, don't drive yourself, unless you have absolutely no other option.
Stroke Warning Signs
The American Stroke Association says these are the warning signs of stroke:
Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
If you or some with you has one or more of these signs, don't delay! Immediately call 9-1-1 or the emergency medical services (EMS) number so an ambulance (ideally with advanced life support) can be sent for you. Also, check the time so you'll know when the first symptoms appeared. It's very important to take immediate action. If given within three hours of the start of symptoms, a clot-busting drug can reduce long-term disability for the most common type of stroke.
Cardiac arrest strikes immediately and without warning. Here are the signs:
Sudden loss of responsiveness. No response to gentle shaking.
No normal breathing. The victim does not take a normal breath when you check for several seconds.
No signs of circulation. No movement or coughing.
If cardiac arrest occurs, call 9-1-1 and begin CPR immediately. If an automated external defibrillator (AED) is available and someone trained to use it is nearby, involve them.

- Those old farts at Musketeer Madness -- Randy Watson, 23:14:38 10/15/02 Tue
I believe this is my first post here on this board. I have forced to find refuge after all the old farts are taking over the show at the OTHER board. Here is what I posted;
I hope since I stood up for you guys I could get asylum over here. I am probably banned by now.
So this means that we can't talk smack about UC or any other school that we play, we cannot bash this X-Band person or anyone else for that matter - no matter how big an ingnoramus. Does this also mean that those guys over with "The Cartel" cannot be bashed? I somehow doubt that. Also is it true that we cannot even post the word ****? (If it is astericks - G-A-R-Y-) That is so stupid. Then you should also block out the following;
band/french/UC/Bob/Huggins/Cincinnati
Welcome to the old fogey board - only diagrams and stats are allowed to be discussed - and when the next NAMBLA meeting is.
I for one thought this board would be tolerant and let people talk about things and utilize the first amendment - but this board is becoming Carlton from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Worrying about how you look more than what is said.
This board will be pathetic if run like a seventh grade algebra class.

- Coach Knight -- Real, 22:31:50 10/11/02 Fri
I was listening tonight to coach Knight on 1100 am in Cleveland and we need him at Xavier. You might hate him but what he says is the truth! There are no time outs and there are no exuses for failure. It seems to me that our coaches have been too easy to our 'free loaders' and we need a coach that will make these 'students' go to class and graduate on time. And if not on time at least come back and get a degree on their dime. That is before they impregnate half the country. Why do they have to screw anything that moves?
Brothers earn your scholarship!

- Mississippi State -- Homeskillet, 16:42:32 10/11/02 Fri
Joe Lunardi has me fired up already. I want to hack him to little pieces and eat him. Then when I shit him out, I'll make my neighbors fat ass, nasty, dick licking dog eat him and shit him out all over again. He has us slated as a six seed in his first bracketology.
Seeing Joe Jocksniffer's "s" curve made me think about what games we might lose. The games that sprung to mind were Bama, Miss. St., and one in the PNIT. Obviously, we can also lose the shoot out and a couple of conference games. Joe must be counting on us losing all of these.
I don't think we will lose to Mississippi State. As soon as the game was announced, I thought we would win it. The first reaction was based on relative talent, though. I just think we ahve a better team than Miss. St. (who got hot late last year but was otherwise average).
Now I have other reasons for thinking we will beat there asses. First, Mississippi State plays a notoriously easy non-conference schedule. Last year they played one tough team, UC, and lost by thirty. As bad as Xavier's non-conference schedule has seemed on occassion, we ain't got nothing on Mississippi State and this year is no exception. So our guys will be more prepared for a big game earlier in the season.
Another big reason I think we will stomp Miss. St. is that the game is being held in the Garden. By the time we get there for the Miss. St. game, we will hopefully have played two other games at MSG in the PNIT. The Garden is the Mecca of college basketball. There is no place else quite like it. Our guys will have already experienced the sensation of playing there, so our guys should get their heads into the game quicker. Add to that the fact that we play in New York City at a minimum of once every two years, and I think we almost have a home court edge.
Xavier will destroy Mississippi State. I will destroy Joe Lunardi.

- Band Free Zone -- The Humboldt, 23:06:21 10/08/02 Tue
What is up with the band members coming out of the woodwork on the MM board? It has become a wasteland of roving band members picking fights and agrivating the general public. I am afraid to click the link anymore. It is like my worst nightmare come true.
I tried to warn you guys. We should have taken X-bland out to send a message that band geeks can't hang, but you didn't listen. That big pussy Homeskillet coddled the bland band man, saying that he objected to the Band Free Zone. I guess you reap what you sow, Skillet. Now we have a real problem. Emboldened by the bland band man's defiance, we now have other band members reproducing like rabbits and claiming turf.
At first I thought that Homeskillets words were pure genius. Instead of taking out X-bland '01, why not convert him to the Army of Porn. Surely, if we could convert X-bland, we could convert anyone. Upon seeing his conversion to the dark side, others would surely fall in line, knowing that resistence is futile. But what has Skillet done to prod the bland band man? Nothing.
It is time for a call to arms. X-bland must submit to intensive pornography. Skillet, you are his new drill seargant. I want you to get him on a slow but steady regiment of internet porn. You can start with some bikini sites at first. Every week, you need to report back to us what sites he is visiting, and how much progress you are making.
It is a multiple step process. First he must admit that he has a problem, and that he needs to seek help from a higher power to solve it. That higher power is Porn. Then, he needs to engage in porn consumption to clear his mind. I think we can all remember the first true moment of clarity that we achieved when first viewing porn. Suddenly, all of lifes questions seem trivial, because you already know the answer. In porn, as with beer, we find sustinence, hope, and the life giving nectar of the Gods. Especially lesbian strap on porn. But you have to ease him into it, he isn't ready to go straight to the lipstick lesbians wearing rubber phalluses right off the bat, it could set him back years.
The end game scenario still involves us pitching in some coin to get him a hooker. The porn will prepare him well for that. And I am not talking a high class hooker, I think he needs to drop his virginity on a fat ass white slut. He will be the trailer trash bangin band man when we get through with him. And dipping his wick ain't enough, he needs to do it with some attitude. I envision him emerging from the dirty trailer with a smoke out of the side of his mouth and a smile on his face. To graduate he will have to have slapped her ass Taliban style, rode her hard, and treated her like the pig that she is.
I think we can do this. If we can turn X-bland '01 to the dark side of porn, our goal of world domination will surely be within reach.
Mr. Skillet, your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to start X-Band off on the road to enlightment. Unless we do something about the band problem now, it will only get worse. Ignoring it has already cost us precious time. It is the same way with Sadaam. Do you want to sit back and let him develop weapons of mass distruction? George Bush could have just as easily been speaking about the bland band man. If we wait until the whole cyber world is crawling with band geeks, what bandwidth will be left for those who wish to consume internet pornography? Some cyber convention of band geeks will bog down the lines and next thing you know, your midget gangbang downloads will be unavailable because the servers are too busy. Let's face it, our whole way of life is at stake, and the Army of Porn lies in the balance.
Our next move is crucial. Call me a porn hawk if you will, but I believe that drastic action is needed.

- Cintas Center - What can be done? -- BP, 10:10:58 10/01/02 Tue
Ever since X moved the home games into the Cintas center, the crowd noise has dropped about 20 decibels. I've heard many reasons given for this. New snobby rich fans in the best seats that are there to be seen, not heard. The lower bowl is much brighter than the lower bowl at the Gardens. Chief Couch busts anyone who so much as throws an empty cup in excitement.
So assuming none of these things change, is there any way to get some of the gardens excitement back? Should the Kahn's crazies launch processed meat out of a cannon after every basket? How 'bout we get UC's cannon they use for football, and fire that thing off after every basket.
Does anyone have any better ideas?

- It is the lighting and the more expensive seats. You get rich alums that are in the "Who's Who", who know the other rich alums. The place is so well lit that if you had too many beers and started going off on the refs your doctor, lawyer, or accountant might see you. It is peer pressure in a bad way. On the bright side, those people paid for the Cintas Center, and it helps the school. I say turn down the lights, let them out of their shells. (NT) -- Sniper, 11:00:30 10/01/02 Tue
- I think that instead of having everyone stand and clap until Xavier scores its first point(s), they should have everyone stand and clap until they score 70 points. Also, we probably need more mascots. I think that having a mere two mascots (blob and frenchy) leaves us woefully short of the optimum of 9. (NT) -- XU Fan, 13:05:41 10/01/02 Tue
- I have never favored that idea either for two reasons. First because, as you say, it can put pressure on the offense if they miss a couple early shots.

Hey, hey it's Swedish Saturday porn
A politician running for a seat in Sweden's parliament has called for pornography to be broadcast on television all-day every Saturday to help boost the population, and thereby the economy.
Teres Kirpikli, a Christian Democratic Party candidate, says pornography is the best way to get couples to have more sex and procreate.
She wants erotica and porn on television every Saturday, all day, so people would feel like having more sex.
But her proposal does not have the full backing of her party, with the head of the women's association saying she wants to abolish pornography altogether.

- Lew Hirt Society discusses their sex organs -- Homeskillet, 14:27:11 10/01/02 Tue
Sept. 13
— LEICESTER, England (Reuters) - Sex was first recognized in the fossil records more than 500 million years ago and the oldest known penis is about 100 million years old, a conference heard on Friday.
It belongs to an ostracod, an early crustacean related to crabs, shrimps and water fleas, and was found in a fossil sample unearthed in Brazil.
"To my knowledge it is the oldest penis. I don't know of any older," Professor David Siveter, of the University of Leicester, told the British Association science conference.
Dinosaurs were around 100 million years ago but the only known dinosaur fossils are of bones, not soft tissue.
In fact the ostracod fossil had not one penis but two.
Siveter, an expert in paleontology, believes ostracods are very sexy animals because they have the second longest sperm in the animal kingdom. A one millimeter ostracod can produce a single sperm 10 millimeters long.
"An ostracod has the longest sperm to body ratio of any animal known to man, so clearly it has to have special equipment to deal with the sperm. It doesn't have one penis, it has two. We found the two penises in a 100 million year old fossil," he said.
By studying gender and sexuality and how far it goes back in the fossil record, Siveter said scientists can learn more about how animal reproduction evolved and behavioral traits.
In a separate presentation, Professor Scott Sampson of the University of Utah Museum of Natural History in the United States said that dinosaurs probably used their enormous horns, pikes, plates and crests to attract the opposite sex, in a similar way that peacocks use their colorful array of feathers.
Some of the appendages were used as weapons but Sampson said others were simply not strong enough to be useful against an enemy and like deer or antelope they used the horns to impress potential mates.
"I think the evidence is quite strong that dinosaurs did too," he said.
I AM JEALOUS OF AN OSTRACOD, FOR I HAVE BUT ONE PENIS AND MY SPERM IS NOT TEN TIMES LONGER THAN MY BODY.

- My response -- Pablo, 18:37:02 09/29/02 Sun
I just got back from a weekend trip and I open my computer to this crap. I am sorry I am not like all the rest of you computer geeks and dorks and spend every waking moment on the computer. I deleted the Huggins comments as soon as I saw them.
I would like to share my thoughts on this matter and how people responded; First off to Jaxbearcat /xubrew /Dayton Flyer/Xband and anyone else that posted negative things about me - go fuck yourself. I did not write any of the crap that was posted nor do I have control over the people that come to this site, I am merely the keeper of the shop. I do not agree with what was posted but all of you people have no problem calling me to the carpet for something that I have no control over. I deleted the posts as soon as I saw them, I don’t have other moderators simply because this board usually does not get enough traffic to warrant that – nor do I share my password lest my board gets hacked like Gary’s.
To Jax – I have had no problem with you, I do have a problem having you come to this board and complain about my lack of attention and threaten to ban me from your message board. If you were a regular viewer of my board, you maybe would have noticed the Homosexual picture that a UC poster put on my board this past week. Did I go to the UC board and complain and threaten to ban people? No – I shook my head with disgust and deleted. But Jax comes here and complains and is outraged – did he say anything about another common topic from UC fans that post on my board – the sexual assault and activities of a seventy-year-old female nun. Very classy to discuss the rape of an elderly religious woman. Or another topic is the sexual assault of a former XU ball player that is currently in prison, classy once again. I also like the seventeen different viruses that UC posters have tried to send to my email account set up for this board. Yet I don’t complain on your board.
To X-Band – don’t threaten me period. Don’t email unasked for advice about how I should run my board and don’t threaten to not link to this board from you’re A-10 board. Unlike you I actually leave the house nor do I spend every waking hour on the boards responding to each and every post.
To XuBrew – I don’t need your crap or sarcasm; I got rid of it when I saw the posts.
To anyone that has a problem with me – I don’t care, I did nothing wrong other than have a life outside of this Xavier message board, obviously most of you people don’t.

Wasp Pee hasn't been hanging around ever since he was exposed as Muskieman. Muskieman reads this board, and if it wasn't Muskieman, I am sure he would have commented. He did make a comment about it to X-bland '01 on the women's board. Check that out, it is a pathetic attempt to cover his own tracks. He is such a sly fox. All evidence now points to the fact that Wasp Pee is Muskieman, and that he is the one who tried to defend the Bland Band Man.
You are either with us or against us, and Muskieman has picked the wrong side of battle. Muskieman and X-bland are both mindless idiots who will be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

U.N. backs 'dwarf-tossing' ban
Friday, September 27, 2002 Posted: 8:28 AM EDT (1228 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Tools
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENEVA, Switzerland -- A French ban on the controversial practice of "dwarf-tossing" has been upheld by the U.N. Human Rights Committee.
Manuel Wackenheim began his fight in 1995 after the French ban meant he could no longer earn a living being thrown around discotheques and nightclubs by burly men.
But on Friday, Wackenheim -- who measures 1.14 metres (3 feet 10 inches) -- lost his case when the U.N. human rights body ruled the need to protect human dignity was paramount.
In a statement, the U.N. Human Rights Committee said it was satisfied "the ban on dwarf-tossing was not abusive but necessary in order to protect public order, including considerations of human dignity."
The committee also said the ban "did not amount to prohibited discrimination."
The pastime, imported from the United States and Australia in the 1980s, consists of people throwing tiny stuntmen as far as possible, usually in a bar or discotheque.
