Pur – DOH!

Tuesday, December 16th, 2003

Purdue has signed a basketball letter of intent with 5’6″ 128 lb freshman, Jason Smith. Yeah, there was a bit of a mixup.

Assistant coach Cuonzo Martin was reached, and said, â??Technically, we canâ??t get rid of the kid, but to stay on the team he is going to have to do everything all the other players do; practice, lift weights, run, watch tape. He also has to keep his nose clean and stay out of trouble.â?

â??That shouldnâ??t be a problem,â? says Jason Parkerâ??s mother, Debbie, â??J.P. has always been a good boy. He never has a bad thing to say about anyone and always works hard at everything he does. His scout leader said he is one of the finest young men he has ever known.â?

Hilarious.

Update: I got Radleyed on this one. I suppose I could delete this post or pretend that I realized it was satire when I posted it, but no… I’ll leave it as a shining monument to my own ignorance and willingness to believe just about anything negative about Indiana.

    You do realize this is a satirical web site, don’t you?

    Now that’s a DOH!

    I have to confess it took me a while to figure it out. Actually you scared the hell out of me.

    And still I wait in anguished anticipation of your commentary on Jack White.

    I heard he was the nephew of Sid Finch and learned how to play basketball in Tibet while visiting his uncle there…

    Ya, nice Doh. Congrats on having the balls to keep it posted though. The site is funnier that way.

    LOL,

    What do you mean, “Radleyed?”

    I cracked up at the use of “Radleyed.” Well done, BKieffer.

    Radleyed – v. To have read a satirical piece and accidentally taken it seriously.

    Add the San Diego Union-Tribune and Jim Rome to the list “Radleyed” by the story.

    Maybe this has some element of truth – - get students in the scholarship cohort who will raise the grade point average. Instead of a third-string benchwarmer, have a brain-string curve raiser.
