It is pretty sad.. You know this OJ character is going to living in LA, playing in the PAC 10... We wont see many of his games unless you have a sports tier package on satellite and even then who it going to stay up until 1 am and watch a game that has nothing to do with the Big 12?

Agian? Who cares what OJ Mayo does?

The bandwagon U$C fan. I sort of care about him - i'd laugh if he turned out to be a bust.

Exactly what I thought. I don't like the pro game so unless we see him in the Dance, he doesn't exist.

Oh come on now, you know Huggy is wanting him to leave USC........... even Kitten Nation would relish the thought.

I think people care or this thread wouldn't be 4 pages long.

Wilbon also gives Mayo shit because he called Tim Floyd to tell him that he's coming to USC, but wouldn't give Floyd his cell phone number so Floyd has no way of contacting him directly. He thinks that O.J. will do whatever he wants and Floyd will be his puppet.

This thread is 4 pages long because we like to make fun of you guys, who just crowned OJ as the second coming of Christ himself.


Besides, basketball owns this board anyway. Not like the Chiefs give us much hope or anything to talk about...

Is this sort of like San Diego fans?

Hmmm, well I would say that's a pretty big breach of etiquette, disrespectful as well. Usually the College kids still respect thier coaches, at least until they get in the NBA - what I mean is they portray that respect on the outside anyway, so what he did there is pretty shitty. He'll probably grow up though

I don't think that anyone here "crowned" OJ. There is/was an absolute ton of hype surrounding this kid already and I really don't see where anyone on CP has given him additional glory.

This thread is 4 pages long because of the reaction to the 12 page (or whatever) reaction to the previous Mayo thread where an overwhelming majority thought he was a jerk for slamming a ball and throwing it the stands. Apparently those people don't care for "showboating", regardless of the athlete.

I hyped Mayo up pretty damn good for the last..year. That is why the name is recognized so well around here. Then he decided to be a dumbass and go to U$C, and the rest is history.

No, Sandy Eggo fans are less educated.

It is a Brian siting OMG

He's a punk.

Boy, next thing you know, he'll pull a Wal-Mart heist. But that won't keep him from getting a schollie. Nope. He's a misunderstood kid. As long as he's hitting those threes.

Or he'll knock up his girlfriend. Then get cited for being a dead beat Daddy. But kicked off the team? Nope. He's just a kid. Gotta give him another chance. Then he knocks down his girlfriend. And get cited for battery. Then gets kicked off the team. Unless he's the team's leading scorer. Then it's okay. He'll play to cheers. And be looked upon as a saint.

And a big LOL to Roy who actually compared him to OJ Simpson. I mean, there's ridiculous (Reerun) and there's reeruned (Roy). And with those two posters the descriptive words are usually interchangeable.

But to not give the coach his cell phone number? That f'ing criminal.
