Funny yet on message.
January 25, 2013, 02:10 AM
Damn I LOVE that ad!
And I'm kinda tickled by that dandy little gun safe under the bed as well.
January 25, 2013, 02:19 AM
me too! I might have to get one of those!
January 25, 2013, 02:31 AM
Looks like a gunvault. I have the multi duluxe version. It's a nice safe for access control. Has its limitations, but so do all safes.
Really like this ad. Also know that it probably didn't take Glock long to find a gun guy with a creeper beard ;)
January 25, 2013, 02:32 AM
is that safe what they call ''biometric''?
January 25, 2013, 02:39 AM
I don't think that's the biometric version. I wouldn't trust a biometric safe (I'd be afraid of a false negative). It has four buttons, and you can press one or multiple buttons at a time for the combination. Essentially one button for each finger on one hand (sans thumb). So your combination could be 1-2-3-4 or it could be 12-34-14-23, or even 1234-1234-1234. The advantage is that unlike a numpad or a dial, you can easily access it in the dark or without looking.
A thief who knows what he's doing can break into the safe. If it's not bolted down it can easily be stolen. The top can be ripped off, exposing the controls. With a bit of determination and some power tools you can break into it. Anyone with a round lockpicker can pick the mechanical key back-up. However, your average thief will probably be deterred from stealing your guns (especially if it is bolted or at least cabled down), and if someone breaks in during the night they will most likely not access your guns quickly...but you could. (Granted, they can grab your kitchen knife and stab you in your sleep, but they can't get your guns).
January 25, 2013, 03:21 AM
It's amusing, but probably not the most believable example of a home invasion.... ;)
And I'm kinda tickled by that dandy little gun safe under the bed as well.
I'd recommend a safe that has an all-mechanical push-button lock for quick access instead, such as the following:
All of these are equipped with a Simplex lock, which is extremely reliable, requires no batteries (which can fail) or backup keys, and is just as quick to unlock. On top of that, these safes are far more sturdy than GunVaults, for what it's worth.
January 25, 2013, 03:29 AM
Mine is a simple key lock.
January 25, 2013, 03:52 AM
Mine is a simple key lock.
Those work fine, too, as long as you can keep the key both handy and secure at the same time. Some folks wear the key around the neck, for example.
The only type of quick-access lock that does NOT make sense to me is the highly popular electronic type (push-button or biometric), since they're not reliable enough to be the sole means of access, and require you to keep a backup key handy (and secure). If you have to do the latter anyway and do not mind, then why not skip the expensive electronics altogether and use a simple key lock? Those who really want a push-button safe and don't mind paying for the convenience (and won't forget the combination while under stress) should go for the Simplex-based ones.
The foregoing is just my opinion, although it is based on the pragmatic reasons I just described. Obviously electronic safes work fine for many people despite my misgivings, but I for one feel better using something that makes more sense and is more reliable.
January 25, 2013, 06:04 AM
Good ad. I liked the use of the safe in the scenario, too. Well done.
January 25, 2013, 07:26 AM
That was my wife six years ago. The only difference is she used a model 23 and the guy turned and ran.
January 25, 2013, 08:27 AM
A very PC ad, but it makes the point, to a point. The safe is unnecessary if she lives alone and is not at risk of having the gun be discovered by a child or prohibited person. Some will beg to differ, I know, but to me it unnecessarily adds a layer of complexity and a time delay to her ability to respond. The depiction of the robber/rapist fainting when he sees the muzzle of a gun pointed at him is unrealistic and idealistic; it implies that just having the gun--even unloaded, one could think--will deter the intruder. A better but less PC version would have the guy rush her and getting a triple tap to the chest and head.
There's another Glock ad that's similarly weakened in its attempt to be PC. A guy in a mask enters a diner with a shotgun and demands everyone comply with his attempt to rob them, then stumbles, at which point everyone in the place, badges now in evidence, draws on him. Obviously he surrenders at once--as in the girl at home ad, nobody fires. Then, in case viewers miss the badges, the camera pulls back and pans to reveal a banner posted in the diner--a banner welcoming patrons to a LEO convention in town. That's good to a point as well, but why the LEO convention? Why not simply present all the diner patron as CCW holders exercising their rights? OK, it's trying to make the point about Glocks being popular among LE agencies, but still, it's an opportunity missed.
Good ads, but Glock shies away from depicting actually firing a pistol in SD in one and implies that only LEOs should have guns in the other. In both cases, the message is weakened.
January 25, 2013, 09:09 AM
Would have been better if she had the gun on her when she walked up to the door the first time, but I'm sure Gunvault paid a few bucks for the exposure.
Would have been quite different if he just busted in without knocking. A lot of good that Glock would have done locked in the bedroom.
While I do have a home defense gun in my quick access safe in my bedroom, I also always at least pocket carry around the house. Oh yea, Glock doesn't have a pocket size gun! :)
January 25, 2013, 09:17 AM
Unlikely to happen like that but it does make the point and the girl is good to watch for 2 minutes ;)
January 25, 2013, 09:45 AM
My wife watched and said, "If it was here it would have been a bloody mess".
She thinks the minute he breaks down the door she has the right to protect her castle.
I can't say she is wrong.
January 25, 2013, 11:08 AM
FAS1, maybe, except the only way I knew it was a GV safe is because I have one. I think it was a PC bit.
Manco, you're right that a push-button safe might be a better option, but I don't consider it likely that the electronic lock on my safe will fail. I would not want to fumble around with keys or a dial in the middle of the night.
January 25, 2013, 11:18 AM
Two things missing on her strategy: a deadbolt lock on the door, and her yelling to him before he enters that, if he does, he will be shot.
Still, an easy video on the eyes.. can't put my finger on why I had to watch it twice. :D
And R. Lee Ermey as an EMT? Now that's funny!
January 25, 2013, 11:40 AM
Still, an easy video on the eyes.. can't put my finger on why I had to watch it twice.
I'd make a joke about the beautiful curves...of the gun...but it's a Glock so that joke won't work.
her yelling to him before he enters that, if he does, he will be shot.
Some people believe this is the best bet, others do not. If you call out that you are armed, the BG knows where you are and can prepare for you being armed. So it might scare him off, it might give him tactical knowledge. I wouldn't call the way they did this an error.
January 25, 2013, 11:51 AM
It is not as PC as you guys think - its just more subtle. You don't see her fire the gun, but the guy is strapped down on a stretcher and the Gunny is a paramedic. I don't think the guy survived this break in. You just have to pay attention to notice it. :neener:
January 25, 2013, 12:04 PM
I agree Mooner, They did not show the graphics but that dude would be a dead guy 9 times out of ten and completely justifiable.
January 25, 2013, 12:33 PM
I just assumed they were treating him because he passed out.
January 25, 2013, 12:37 PM
It would have been better if they showed the Coroner's car instead of the EMT's.
January 25, 2013, 02:32 PM
That was not a biometric safe, though GunVault does make that MiniVault in a biometric configuration. That was their standard model.
I use a Gunvault MicroVault and it is great.
I wonder if my Gen2 G19 will scare a burglar into unconsciousness also? :neener:
January 25, 2013, 02:34 PM
Two things missing on her strategy: a deadbolt lock on the door, and her yelling to him before he enters that, if he does, he will be shot.
Deadbolt? Yes, she needed one.
Yelling to tell him that he is going to get shot? Not, IMO.
The message to him not to come in should have been clear by her not opening the door to check who was there (a very good move). If the robber had been armed, her yelling at him telling him that he was going to get shot could lead to him firing through the door first.
Sit back, call 911, and if the BG comes in.... stop the threat. No more words are needed.
January 25, 2013, 02:42 PM
AAH, good point. Calling 911 first would have been a good idea.
January 25, 2013, 02:45 PM
I wonder if my Gen2 G19 will scare a burglar into unconsciousness also? :neener:
Sorry, no, that's a new Gen4 feature that's not available for earlier models. ;)
January 25, 2013, 02:49 PM
Sorry, no, that's a new Gen4 feature that's not available for earlier models. ;)
Dang.... I wonder how much Glock's perfection gunsmiths will charge me to add that feature?.... :uhoh:
January 25, 2013, 03:00 PM
I have to kick this in and ask, Exactly when did we all become so helpless that we need to rely upon the 911 emergency services to come and bail us out because we had a knock on our door?
I think far too many of us are willing to rely upon the police to do the jobs we are all responsible for ourselves. Calling 911 from where I live would the equivalent of a fart in the wind. Calling 911 and saying I had a knock on the door and no one was there would likely elicit a rather rude response from the 911 operator.
Those of you who feel there should be a cop at every corner to respond to every situation have no business having guns and no right to complain about outrageous taxes and out of control government spending. I suppose only those who live in the country will understand this but I call 911 after I finish doing my job.
January 25, 2013, 03:05 PM
"Someone is trying to break into my house" at the point where he starts adamantly banging on the door and jiggling the handle trying to get in.
Calling 911 has several benefits...
1) Helps establish yourself as the victim who is defending him/herself.
2) Brings the calvalry, because while you have the right to defend yourself, it's a lot easier if there are a lot more guns on your side.
January 25, 2013, 03:12 PM
She had about 2 seconds from the door handle jiggling to the door flying open. I guess if you live where there is a Calvary to come it might be a viable remedy. Out here where I am the cop is probably 30-45 minutes away if both of them are on duty that night.
January 25, 2013, 03:18 PM
I have to kick this in and ask, Exactly when did we all become so helpless that we need to rely upon the 911 emergency services to come and bail us out because we had a knock on our door?
The first one to call the cops is considered the victim 99% of the time by first responders.
Also, it wasn't the knock on the door that would get me to call 911, it was the fact that after the knock there was no answer and then it happened again. That usually means that a person is trying to get you to open the door without seeing them - they are there to cause trouble.
It doesn't hurt to call the police. Exactly why do you think that calling them is asking to get "bailed out"? That is not my intentions when calling the police. I would like them to show up before anything goes bad, but they are not there to bail me out. I am confident that I can take care of myself better than a police officer can.
However, I would love for them to arrive before I have to engage an assailant because it would save me a lot of money in legal fees...
I guess if you live where there is a Calvary to come it might be a viable remedy. Out here where I am the cop is probably 30-45 minutes away if both of them are on duty that night.
And what exactly is the harm of calling them to get them on their way? If it turns out to be nothing, you will still be on the line with them and you can apologize and explain the situation. If you have to shoot, then at least law enforcement is already on their way.
I understand that when seconds count the police are only minutes away...but some people actually use that as a reason not to call the police? That is missing the point of the statement.
January 25, 2013, 03:24 PM
I will agree that sometimes it just isn't possible to get to 911 before you can defend yourself (IMO, smart phones are actually a part of the problem here, it would be a lot easier on an older phone...or if we went to the british system of 999), but if you can, you should.
January 25, 2013, 03:31 PM
I guess we see things differently and like I said, those who live in rural areas will better understand my point. I don't want the cops coming unless it is absolutely necessary. With so few on duty in such a big area I don't want one flying to my aid unless I am positive I need him. I get late night knocks on my door all the time out here from folks who hit deer or had and accident and I answer the door with protection every time. Cell phones are useless so it comes with the territory.
January 25, 2013, 03:34 PM
But there's a difference between someone who knocks on your door and is in plain view, vs. someone who acts suspicious and gets angry about being denied access to your domain.
January 25, 2013, 03:39 PM
You need to see some of the characters I get who just walked a mile or more in lousy weather and after an accident that has them bloody.
Your point is well taken but I have to go with what works for me out here. There has been more than a few times when I did not want to even open the door after seeing what/who was knocking.
January 25, 2013, 06:27 PM
cool commercial, not a huge glock fan myself...but after seeing gunny at the end of that video a 1911 would have been even cooler.
January 25, 2013, 07:08 PM
January 25, 2013, 10:32 PM
Gamalot, this girl's apartment didn't look like it was in a rural area with two cops in a 500-square mile county. Most of us were actually commenting on the scenario given, not on any possible scenario.
January 25, 2013, 10:52 PM
after the first knock and nobody there, gun and a phone should have come out. after the second knock and nobody there, a call to 911. Jiggling of the lock......911 on the phone and gun raised = perfect response. Door open and intruder NOT turning tail or immediately dropping to the ground = ______________ (insert your local/state laws about defense in the home.
January 26, 2013, 02:31 PM
A better but less PC version would have the guy rush her and getting a triple tap to the chest and head.
This would be much better because it shows both the bad guys and the good guys what could happen. It should also be paired with a video showing what could happen (e.g. rape, murder, both) if the woman didn't have a gun. The actual video is just a silly cartoon that trivializes a potentially deadly scenario. I realize that it's an ad, but it does go a bit far in PCness.
Deadbolt? Yes, she needed one.
Deadbolted doors are easy to kick in unless the frame is reinforced.
January 26, 2013, 02:44 PM
Should put 2 in the chest as soon as he busted through. A little unPC, but now I'm gonna be stuck paying his hospital bill and hotel stay. That being said, anyone that carries for protection needs to be mentally prepared for deadly force, I don't think she was quite there mentally.....
January 26, 2013, 03:22 PM
Good times!
January 26, 2013, 03:40 PM
Thought for sure seeing him waking up it was going to be a copy of the Pulp Fiction scene with Zed in the basement. That would be a commercial.

I realize that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I did find Sharon Finocchio's homophobic comments (letter May 25) disturbing.
I have many gay and lesbian friends - to whom I simply refer to as "my friends" - and I honestly don't think her remarks belong in the hometown newspaper.
She has established herself as someone who has read the Bible, and I'm sure she follows it to a T. I'm hoping she doesn't mix fabrics, such as that sinfully soft 50 percent cotton/50 percent polyester blend Leviticus warned everyone against. Her husband's beard must be well past his waist since Leviticus doesn't allow men to shave. Also, she probably has never grabbed a man on the shoulder because Deuteronomy calls for her hand to be cut off.
Changing outdated laws isn't so bad, right? If it wasn't for First Amendment, she wouldn't be allowed to publicly express her narrow-minded opinion. The 19th Amendment allows her, a woman, the right to vote.
She's forgetting the big picture here that God is supposed to love everybody. I don't remember him saying "love thy neighbor, unless they're gay."
This is yet another civil rights movement our country is going through. It should not even be an issue, because civil rights means the rights for everyone no matter what.
There are numerous same-sex couples I know who are more devoted to each other than some heterosexual couples I've met. Same-sex couples have to choose to want children.
They go through lengthy adoption processes or time- consuming searches for a surrogate because they have made a choice to raise a child.
It takes planning and time for these parents. They aren't a couple after prom night fooling around in a parking lot or two people who have kids just to abuse the welfare system. Same-sex couples are devoted to a choice, not an accident.
If same-sex marriage is so threatening to her marriage or way of life, then maybe she's just insecure with herself. I believe that everyone has the right to be happy and marry whomever they want. It doesn't diminish my own relationship whatsoever. Same-sex couples should be allowed benefits just as anyone else would be, and I applaud the companies that have established those rights.
It's sad that we live in a society where people use a book about loving, caring, and helping out fellow humans to persecute against a group of people who identify differently from you.

Why You Should Care about Quitting Smoking
By Stephanie Corkett, NAMI Communications Intern
Dr. Ken Duckworth, medical director of NAMI, recently hosted a session at the NAMI National Convention addressing the risks of smoking while living with a mental illness. He debunked some common myths that might be keeping smokers from quitting their addiction, and gave tips for those beginning their own journeys of becoming smoke free.
In 2007, the National Health Interview Study found that smoking rates for persons living with mental illness was increasingly high. Fifty-nine percent of persons living with schizophrenia smoked and 46 percent of those with bipolar disorder smoked. Persons with dual diagnoses also had higher rates of smoking. If a person has three or more mental illnesses there is a 61 percent they are also a smoker.
Duckworth began by presenting these common smoking myths:
If you are planning on kicking your smoking addiction, Duckworth recommends also quitting any other addictions you have at the same time. For example, if you only smoke cigarettes when you drink alcohol, it's recommended to quit alcohol as well because there is an association between the two. "A person's rate of success in quitting goes up if they quit all their addictions at once," adds Duckworth.
Smokers who quit can eventually have a healthy cardiovascular system. The damage isn't permanent unless you don't quit. According to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services, two weeks after a smoker's quit date their circulation improves, walking becomes easier and lung function increase up to 30 percent. A year without smoking reduces a person's risk of cardio heart disease (CHD) to half that of a continuing smoker. And after 15 years without a cigarette the risk of CHD is similar to those who have never smoked.
In this discussion, Sandra, a woman from Mississippi shared her story about living with a mental illness and smoking. She explained how smoking makes her calm and reduces her symptoms.
With the increasing reduction of smoking throughout the country, Sandra has found that from already being not quite accepted for having a mental illness now she is being ostracized for being a smoker as well. Comments about her clothes stinking have made her extremely self-conscious, so she always carries breath mints, mouthwash and odor spray to mask the scent of her smoking.
Sandra admits that she understands the risks of not quitting, but can't quite get herself to the point of wanting to quit. She is afraid that if she quits her mental health symptoms will worsen, and that fear alone keeps her from quitting. She mentions, "I can come up with great reasons to quit smoking, more than to stay, but those reasons always lose."
Duckworth has a few tips for those who are quitting smoking, which include:
Anxiety can result from those contemplating quitting smoking. Duckworth mentions that smokers might feel shame in failure and encourages smokers not to be afraid of relapsing when quitting smoking. Duckworth says, "Every time a person quits smoking, even if they relapse, they have a better chance of actually succeeding and becoming smoke free."
A smoke free future can be achieved for those living with a mental illness. The added years of life and increased well-being are worth the effort of quitting smoking. For more information on quitting smoking, view NAMI's Hearts and Minds website.

UAlbany School of Social Welfare, Upstate Consortium Collaborate to Support Veterans' Health
The University at Albany's School of Social Welfare will lead a consortium of upstate New York schools of social work to support behavioral health initiatives for veterans. Under the umbrella of the Upstate New York Mental and Behavioral Health Education Consortium (UNY-MBHEC), the partners include the University at Buffalo, University at Binghamton, University at Brockport, Nazareth College of Rochester, Roberts Wesleyan College, and Syracuse University.
UAlbany's School of Social Welfare has secured a grant to advance veterans' health services.
The project, which is supported by a three-year, $480,253 competitive grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), is intended to increase social workers' capacity to address the mental and behavioral health needs of veterans, military personnel and their families, and residents of medically underserved rural communities. Professor Lynn Warner will lead UAlbany's efforts. The grant was one of only 13 funded by HRSA nationally.
"The UNY-MBHEC is a nationally significant workforce development, educational and high impact service collaborative. The broad reach and resources of the consortium, including our inter-professional partners and our specialized field placements with our community-based leaders ensure that more culturally competent behavioral health services will be offered to our high need veterans and others in upstate New York," said School of Social Welfare Dean Katharine Briar-Lawson.
"The goal is to unite top schools of social welfare in a collaborative effort to expand and evaluate behavioral health field placements and inter-professional initiatives serving veterans and other marginalized and high need groups, particularly in rural areas," said Warner, an associate professor of Social Welfare specializing in mental health and addictions policy.
"The project really pools the strengths of our Upstate social work programs; each School offers its unique piece to this collective effort," said Catherine Lawrence, an Assistant Research Professor of Social Welfare and co-author of the grant.
The initiative underscores the University's commitment to veterans and military personnel. Recently, UAlbany was designated by G.I. Jobs Magazine as "military friendly," one of several State University of New York campuses to be recognized. The recognition means that the schools get high marks in assisting military personnel when they return to civilian life. G.I. Jobs Magazine provides education, transition assistance and job opportunities for veterans.comments powered by Disqus

Investigators said an 18-year-old Volusia County man stole an air conditioning unit in order to pay a civil fine.
Kimani Parker and a 17-year-old friend were arrested in Deltona at about 6 a.m. Tuesday after a resident became suspicious watching them pushing a wheelbarrow with an air conditioning unit in it.
A deputy found Parker at home and asked if the teen knew why he was there.
"Possibly because of the air conditioner unit," Parker responded.
Deputies said the AC unit was stolen from a vacant home.
Parker told authorities said he needed money to pay a $200 restitution to Walmart for a shoplifting incident.
Both teens are charged with burglary, grand theft and criminal mischief.

i hope he finds a college where he can play ball and get a degree. only time will tell. so far, he is doing everything right!!! Lets hope he stays on that track and doesn't fall into that catagory of wasted talent.

dosnt matter...we wont see or hear of him again unless he goes the way of the other granthams and makes the police reports

And when I say he didn't actively recruit him, I mean there wasn't much communication between the 2 until after the state championship game. Huggins knew either a) there would be transfers that opened up a few scholarships or b) he was going to pull a few scholarships from those players. HE told Buddha to be patient and not make a decision right away...he wanted and did offer Buddha one of the scholarships he knew would be available
Huggins watched him play live several times and attended the state championship game. He attended the Martinsburg/Morgantown game here in Martinsburg where Buddha outplayed Adrian and the team hammered Morgantown.

Wayne....Huggins never actively recruited Buddha during the season because the Adrian kid signed during the early signing period and the team was so young that there were no scholarships available. After the college season, a few players transferred and that opened up a few scholarships...that's when he offered Buddha a scholarship. Buddha weighed his options and waited until the deadline (May 15) to make a decision....the one reported here. That is when Huggins pulled the offer and signed the 2 JUCO transfers.
Huggins offered him a scholarship and Buddha turned it down. All of the talk about Huggins not wanting him and Buddha not being good enough athletically or not ready academically is not true. It's pretty simple to understand

Hugh, you do realize that recruiting someone and offering them a scholarship are 2 different things, don't you. Huggins could have recruited him and just never offered him a scholarship. And Grantham could have just decided he didn't want to go there also. You make it sound like Huggy asked him to prom but he went with someone else. I hardly believe that is what happened.

The funny part of this situation is that you guys keep insinuating that Huggins didn't want him. BUDDHA turned down the WVU offer.....
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
and another thing.....Huggins has a better eye for talent than any of you. if he doesn't feel this kid is ready to play at his program, then he won't recruit him. that doesn't mean he can't make it at Clemson or Nova. and also, being the WV Player of the year is not an automatic qualification to Division I basketball. This kid probably wouldn't even start at some Maryland or DC high schools. Not a knock on him, but you have to keep it real. He would average 5 points and 5 boards at DeMatha.

you people have no idea what youre talking about. JUCO and Prep School......2 different things. lets get that straight. and who cares if he doesn't have good grades? he can work on them next year at "PREP" school, right? "PREP" is not to PREPare you for Division I basketball, it is to prepare you for your freshman year of COLLEGE??? The kid is going to a PREP school to PREPare for COLLEGE??? How great is that???? A kid is going to go to COLLEGE and you idiots are finding a negative out of that. I couldn't care less if he scores 1 point at Division III Bridgewater, the kid is going to go to COLLEGE!!! Good job kid!

Well, 1st and foremost....Prep School is NOT JUCO. Prep school is pretty much an extension of high school and does not consume eligibility, whereas JUCO does.
2ndly, Huggins pulled the offer and signed the JUCO transfer after Buddha decided to go to prep school. The deadline for declaring is May 15 so he waited until then to announce.

and, i believe from huggins interview he was asked if they were persuing him and his answer was "no" I dont ever remember hearing that he choose not to go there

Joe Public..you so knowledgeable..what happened to that scholarship offer he had to clemson?Ad Georgetown and villanova were supposedly interested.
Tell me why a player would turn down a scholar ship to clemson to go play in juco? GRADES....thats why or schools saw something they didnt like.
How many of those NBA players your talking about didnt have the grades or had a stigma about them and thats why they ended up at juco first

Let's get one thing straight here, while sticking to FACTS. Buddha CHOSE to not sign with WVU and also turned down the full ride from Clemson. He's not a 5 star calibur talent, but why waste a year playing less than 10 minutes/game? Pulling out of 2013 and joining the 2014 class may turn out to be a smart move if he can bulk up a bit and work on his game more.
Let's all remember that he CHOSE to not sign with a WVU program that is currently in the dumpster. Is there anyone on that team that is talented enough to be 3rd team or even honorable mention all Big 12 next season? The program is garbage.

I love the highly knowledgeable posters on the journals website! To say that prep schools aren't a great accomplishment and won't help you improve on your craft....REALLY!!! Just take a look at the NBA playoffs and research just how many of those ELITE basketball players attended a prep school before committing to a D1 school! Congrats to Buddha on a great high school career and and I wish him nothing but continued success for as far as his basketball journey takes him! And all the doubters on this site can keep hating on the fact that you never would or could achieve what this outstanding young man has on or off (as we who know him actually know) the court!

And prep schools dont do much to prepare you for a division 1...you either got division 1 skill or you dont. If you dont you wont learn it in a year at prep

Epic fail...but pretty much what everyone should have expected.
Its one of 2 things, everybody was smart and passed on him like Huggins one word answer of "NO" when asked about recruiting him
or...lack of grades
Im suspecting its the first
1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Grades or SAT/ACT issue? That's your opinion? You don't think Huggins could've had him eligible giving his past players' academic success.....or lack thereof?
I think more kids should go this route. Instead of playing less than 10 minutes per game as a freshman, go to a prep school and save the year of eligibility.

I think its more of a grades or SAT/ACT issue and not his playing ability.

Hope this decision works out for him. Wish him the best and that the big offer he is looking for comes through for him and he stays injury free!

And the bandwidth caps.. which will be even worse once they're done with "testing" their new plans.
To be fair, they've been testing since 2010 I think. I haven't gone over the 250 GB cap in a while, but I don't download everything I buy immediately, and I don't stream any HD media (but I should).

So I went down to the Minnesota Wild vs Washington Capitals game tonight and I think the highlight of the game happened before the game even started! During warm ups I walked down to try and get a picture of Ovi. About few minutes later 2 girls come walking down in there swimsuit! I was able to get a picture from the backside of them to show you (wasn't gonna get front side and be a total creep ). They lasted about 5 minutes then they were escorted out of the building. After this happened I started to think to myself, I don't think I've ever seen anything more weird then this! Have any of you? Oh and for those who are wondering..

The NHL lockout reached its 80th day Tuesday with the two sides arriving in meetings with rested sets of eyes and fresh voices, the same essential goal but still very different views on marriage. Until their positions take dramatic turns, you can expect mostly the same rhetoric and definitely the same result.
Gary Bettman and his cronies and Donald Fehr and his brother were so far apart in negotiations for a collective bargaining agreement that federal mediators summoned for Battle Royale Redux listened for two days and hit the road. The lift was too heavy, so they packed up their belongings for cases in which they could make a difference.
This lockout could end, with players and owners resuming the theft of your money, in short order if they settled on one issue rather be divided by a million. The federal mediators arrived with non-binding suggestions, stripping them of their power. For them, a few days in this mess amounted to a waste of breath.
If the two sides really wanted a settlement, if they really wanted something fair that would restore peace, they should call an independent arbiter to sort through the carnage and draw up a binding agreement. The NHL and the NHLPA already are playing high-stakes poker, so let's increase the ante for one final hand.
One man gets final word, no appeals, end of story. Who's in?
The two sides could call almost anyone. Hockey experience not required. Common sense is encouraged. Anyone who has been in a room with Bettman, Bill Daly or the Brothers Fehr need not apply. Call Desmond Tutu for heaven's sake.
Buffalo-based Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs had a seat in the meeting Tuesday, but it might as well have been Bettman. Jacobs is the last guy players want to see in desperation because he's the owner they trust the least. He's had Bettman's ear for years and was a reason they had their clocks cleaned in 2004-05.
Or did they?
Conviction to fundamental issues has not wavered on either side. It would take a monumental shift in principle from both to reach an agreement, which is why no deal is imminent. By the looks of things, the only way a CBA is reached in time to save the season is by players taking a beating.
I'll say it again: right and wrong, fair and unfair, none of it matters. Owners have more time and money than the players. Billionaires usually beat millionaires in disputes over money. It's not likely to change this time whether it's Donald Fehr or Donald Duck overseeing the players' association.
The players are right, by the way, and have been all along. The revenue-sharing problem isn't with owners and players. It's with owners and owners. Can you imagine a player scoring 15 goals one year, 20 the next, demanding a 33 percent raise? He would have been laughed out of the building.
Then again, if the players accepted the 24 percent rollback and agreed to the 50-50 revenue split months ago, they would have saved money. One-third of the regular season already is lost. How many fans? We'll see. Revenue soared after the last lockout, so perhaps Bettman & Co., view a work stoppage as good for business.
I'm sympathetic toward people who rely on the game for their income, from ticket takers to bartenders, but that's about all. You might think the lockout would affect my life given my responsibilities. In fact, it did. It changed for the better.
The lockout gave me new perspective about the NHL and allowed me to cover other sports that I always enjoyed, such as college football and basketball. Jerry Sullivan and I have been putting together a new weekly program — cheap plug alert! — called the "Bucky & Sully Show" that airs on Friday mornings at buffalonews.com.
The NHL lockout prompted this column, which doesn't limit me to hockey. It opens doors to numerous ideas in all sports, and it's been refreshing. Hockey is a great game that can be entertaining on all levels. Plenty remains in Buffalo.
I'm starting to view the NHL the way I do a pet fish. If it dies, I'll flush it down the toilet and move on with my life. You might say there are other fish in the sea. The NHL is loaded with sharks.
Bowe's unwelcome gesture
People manage personal grief in individual ways, but something is wrong when Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe takes the required steps to have a T-shirt made up to commemorate Jovan Belcher after the linebacker gunned down his girlfriend and orphaned their 3-month-old child.
The Kansas City Star reported Tuesday that Belcher kissed his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, after killing her, kissed their daughter and drove to Arrowhead Stadium before killing himself. The tragedy, which came after months of problems between Belcher and Perkins, was the latest example of domestic violence.
For Bowe, it was an opportunity to honor his friend, his teammate, a murderer.
Bowe posted a picture on Twitter of himself pointing toward heaven while wearing the T-shirt, which had a photo of a smiling Belcher in his No. 59 jersey. Perkins was the first cousin of running back Jamaal Charles' wife, but who cares? And to make matters worse, in his heartwarming tribute, Bowe misspelled Jovan with "Javon."
Ali collectibles a knockout
The gloves worn by Muhammad Ali during his famous championship fight with Sonny Liston in 1964 and the pair he wore against Joe Frazier in 1971 were sold for $385,848 apiece in an auction last week by the family of trainer Angelo Dundee.
Dundee collected more than 100 items from his career while helping Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard reach the top of their weight classes. Dundee died last February. His family planned to use the money to pay for medical expenses for Dundee's daughter, who suffers from multiple sclerosis.
"It's kind of bittersweet," Dundee's son, Jim, told the Associated Press. "These have been in our possession for nearly 50 years. Dad would bring them home and I would store them."
Collectors put their money were Ali's mouth was.
Included in the auction was a plaster cast of Ali's teeth, used to make his mouthpiece, that sold for $5,027; an X-ray signed by Ken Norton after he broke Ali's jaw that sold for $1,517 and Ali's last mouthpiece, which sold for $6,691. Do I hear $10,000 for dental floss?
The wrong message
The NFL made progress when addressing concussion problems with more stringent testing, but the league's efforts will take a step back if players stop reporting symptoms for fear of losing their jobs.
Niners quarterback Alex Smith was third in passer rating when he was replaced by Colin Kaepernick in the offense. San Francisco lost last week to St. Louis, but coach Jim Harbaugh decided to stay with the kid. A concussion sidelined Michael Vick, and the Eagles turned to rookie backup Nick Foles.
It's a matter of time before players hide concussion problems and risk injury. In fact, it's probably already gone unnoticed.
Kennedy's career reborn
South Buffalo native Tim Kennedy appears to have his career back in the right direction with the San Jose Sharks.
Kennedy had a difficult time since 2010, when the Sabres bought out his contract and waived him for taking them to arbitration.
Kennedy was tied for third in the AHL scoring race while leading Worcester with 11 goals and 23 points in 22 games. He was named AHL Player of the Week Monday after scoring five goals and setting up another in three games last weekend. He has 54 points in 56 games with Worcester.
And he's still praising Buffalo.
"It's a great place to live," Kennedy told the Worcester Telegram and Gazette. "You look at the news and see that we get these lake-effect snowstorms and you see six or eight feet of snow, or you drive into the city and see a bad neighborhood, and people think that's all there is.
"But we've got great neighborhoods, great restaurants, there's a lot to do. I think that most players who come to Buffalo for hockey wind up staying here with their families because it's a great place to raise a family."
Stats Inc.
37 - Points scored by Georgetown in its one-point win over Tennessee, the Hoyas' lowest winning output since 1984 (also 37-36, over SMU).
32 - Field goals made in 36 attempts during a six-game stretch by the Knicks' Tyson Chandler, who had no more than one miss in any contest.
51 - Consecutive victories in basketball for Syracuse, in November and December, since they lost to Cleveland State on Dec. 15, 2008.
Celtics guard Jason Terry on Nets forward Kris Humphries: "Some guys are tough. Some guys pretend to be. He's one of those that pretends to be. I played with him."
Quick hits
• Kentucky, the No. 8 team in the country last week, became the highest-ranked team to be dropped from the Top 25 in one week since polls expanded in 1988-89. Gone along with the 54-game home winning streak are Twitter accounts of four players who were bombarded with negative comments after losing to unranked Baylor.
• Kansas City fans couldn't help but wonder if the winning Powerball ticket sold in Missouri was connected to the Royals. The numbers chosen were numbers of popular players George Brett (5), Bo Jackson (16), Dennis Leonard (22), Mark Gubicza (23) and Dan Quisenberry (29). Willie Wilson (6) was the Powerball number. "Totally random," winner Cindy Hill told reporters, "although we love the Royals."
• My two cents on the baseball Hall of Fame: Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens should be inducted. Major League Baseball did not have a policy banning performance-enhancing drugs, and both players dominated without them.
Sammy Sosa, who averaged 58 homers between 1998-2002, the juice era, doesn't belong because he wasn't good enough.

WAILUKU - A 37-year-old Napili man charged with second-degree murder in the beating death of a co-worker was released from jail Thursday after posting $100,000 bail.
William Ranep was arrested Monday night about an hour after Lahaina patrol officers responded to Napili Plaza at 7 p.m. and found 58-year-old Lahaina resident Danny Jose unresponsive on the ground, police said.
Jose was transported to Maui Memorial Medical Center in critical condition. He was pronounced dead at 10 a.m. the next day, police said.
Article Photos
An initial court appearance for Ranep had been scheduled for Thursday afternoon in Wailuku District Court. After being released on bail, he was ordered to appear Dec. 10 in Lahaina District Court.
Police said both Ranep and Jose worked for a maintenance company.
According to documents filed in court to support the second-degree murder charge, Ranep was seen pushing Jose until he fell near the rear parking lot of Napili Plaza. Jose was on the ground when Ranep struck Jose in the head and face about 12 times and kicked Jose in the head five times, witnesses told police.
Earlier in the day, at about 1 p.m. Monday, Jose had been passed out on the floor of the maintenance office when he was awakened by Ranep to be taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center for a drug screening, according to court documents. Jose reportedly became combative and struck Ranep several times.
After the screening, Jose was in Wailuku when he called Ranep for a ride back to Napili. Ranep picked up Jose, who was apologetic while being driven back.
Ranep was helping Jose, who had been instructed to empty out his office, when Jose picked up a kitchen knife and threatened to kill Ranep, he later told police.
Ranep had locked the office and was walking to his truck when he saw Jose and decided to "immobilize him," according to documents.
Police said Jose was on the ground and unresponsive when Ranep fled in a white pickup truck belonging to the maintenance company. Ranep was in the truck at a residence on Hanawai Street in Napili when officers located him at 8:17 p.m. Monday.

NEW WASHINGTON - One down, one to go.
Buckeye Central secured the Silver Division crown with a 25-11, 25-14, 25-4 win Thursday over Bucyrus, moving one step closer to the outright North Central Conference crown.
Thursday's result marked the first time the Buckettes had earned five consecutive NCC titles. But with the conference switching to division play last year, coach Bill Bonham said the goal entering the year went beyond the reigning overall champs settling for their second divisional crown.
"Technically, they've got the five titles in a row, but they want the overall," Bonham said. "That was the goal coming into the season for the seniors."
The Buckettes (17-2, 11-0 NCC) have conference matches remaining Tuesday and Thursday, with Thursday's finale coming at home against Wynford, which leads the Black Division.
Thursday, Maddie Williams keyed Buckeye Central's charge by serving 11 of the team's 21 aces and adding 11 digs and seven kills.
Sami Marcum added 10 kills, seven digs and four aces, Kilee Kimmel had 15 assists and five aces and Emily Weithman turned in 14 assists and seven digs.
Kendra Schultz backed them up with nine kills on 11 swings, and four blocks. Jenna Delarber smacked seven kills and three blocks.
Blue Jackets waylay Bobcats
BETTSVILLE - Lauren Ladd smashed 15 kills, Cassandra Acree had 20 assists and New Riegel allowed just 10 points over three games in a 25-6, 25-3, 25-1 win over Bettsville.
New Riegel upped its record to 18-1, 7-1 in the Midland Athletic League.
The Blue Jackets' Taylor Arbogast delivered eight digs and 11 kills, Kara Scherger had seven digs, six aces and eight kills.
Brittany Gillig notched three aces, while Morgan Noftz had four assists.
Blue Devils find winning side of MAL
CAREY - Carey secured its first winning season in league play since 2001 by upending Old Fort 25-11, 23-25, 22-25, 25-13, 15-9 Thursday.
The victory bumped the Blue Devils to 12-5 overall and 6-3 in the Midland Athletic League.
Hannah Tong and Sydney Wentling put up some big numbers to make it happen.

HONOLULU (AP) - The Army has confirmed the identity of a Schofield Barracks soldier who was shot and killed by police in Waikiki earlier this week.
The Army's 25th Infantry Division says the soldier was 22-year-old Pfc. Gregory M. Gordon from Ashford, Ala.
Police say Gordon was shot early Tuesday after repeatedly ramming multiple police cars with his truck. Several police officers were injured in the incident.
The Army said in a release Thursday that Gordon joined the Army in April 2010 and attended basic training at Fort Knox, Ky. He was deployed with his unit to Afghanistan in April 2011 and returned about a year ago. He served as a fire support specialist. Gordon received numerous medals, including the Afghanistan Campaign Medal with Campaign Star.

Welcome to TPC Harding Park - A San Francisco Municipal Golf Course
On your next golf trip to San Francisco, make sure you book a tee time at TPC Harding Park, the only city-owned public course managed by the PGA TOUR.
Formerly known as Harding Park Golf Club and referred to as Harding Park by the regulars, this municipal golf course is owned by the city and county of San Francisco. Named after avid golfer and former President Warren G. Harding, the golf course was designed by Willie Watson (who also designed the Olympic Club) and opened in 1925.
TPC Harding Park features 27 holes of championship golf – the 18-hole Harding Park Course and the 9-hole Fleming Course.
TPC Harding Park has been honored as "#13 Municipal Golf Course in the United States," as well as the "#24 Best Course to Play in California," by Golfweek Magazine. Golf Digest Magazine has also named it as, "one of the Best Places to Play," ranking it a 4.5 star golf course.
TPC Harding Park enjoys a storied history as a frequent PGA TOUR stop in the 1960s as golf legends Ken Venturi, Billy Casper and Gary Player all won tournaments at Harding Park. The golf course underwent a major renovation in 2002-03 and once again these storied fairways showcased the skills of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson in the 2005 WGC-American Express Championship and later in the 2009 Presidents Cup.
TPC Harding Park has also hosted PGA TOUR Champions Charles Schwab Cup Championship in 2010, 2011 and 2013, and is poised to host more tournaments in the future.

SILVER CREEK – Silver Creek Police Chief Tim Roche is concerned about the future of the village Police Department.
In the last six months, four veteran members of the force opted to transfer to other police agencies.
And the question of whether or not the end is near for the Silver Creek Police Department appears to be on the table.
Roche said he has not been able to get a straight answer as to where the Silver Creek Village Board stands on this question.
Mayor Kurt Lindstrom agrees that the department has had a lot to be proud of during its history, but said that the loss of the three full-time officers and their sergeant dealt it a serious blow.
He said that the board is looking at options, including dissolving the department, and pointed to the recent announcement of a plant closing as indicative of the fiscal challenges ahead.
"The loss of the Petri Baking Products business has made us realize that the financial issues are very serious," said Lindstrom who last week presented a $385,000 spending plan that is about $36,000 less than the current budget.
Roche, a 32-year veteran of the department, runs a full-time, 24-hour-a-day department with two full-time officers and himself. He supplements that with part-time help.
But the Village Board will not allow him to call in candidates to talk about full-time jobs on the force despite having several applicants.
In January, his sergeant of 17 years decided to leave the department. Steve Romanik resigned to join the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office. Romanik's wife, Amy, serves as village deputy mayor.
Roche thinks those circumstances sent a message to the other officers that the board is considering dissolving the department.
Lindstrom said he will not run for re-election this spring, and he said Deputy Mayor Romanik also has decided not to seek re-election. So the decision to keep the Police Department as a full-time force will be left to a new mayor.
Roche thinks if the board wants to dissolve the department, residents should get their say.
The village's next budget meeting is Thursday.

Another woman gang-raped in Delhi

Within a week of a 23-year-old woman being gang-raped by six men in a moving bus in the capital, a 40-year-old woman has alleged that she was raped in her house by three men at knife-point Wednesday, police said. Two of the accused have been arrested.
"The incident was reported from east Delhi's Welcome area. The woman, who lives with her family, alleged that three of her neighbours raped her when she was alone at home Wednesday evening," said a police officer Friday.
A case was lodged after her medical examination at Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital confirmed rape.
Two of the accused, Gaffar and Alam, were arrested from their house while the third accused is on the run, police said.
The accused used to visit her house regularly.
