Rumor?

This same rumor was discussed on the UofL board. Rondo has a lot of friends in L-ville that post on the board. They were all lauging about it and one said that Rondo would call Doug Bibby not Chapman for any advice. He also said that his younger brother asked Rondo about this. Rondo laughed about it and asked him where he got his info. I hope this kills the RUMOR.

Why did Parker leave? Just wondering. Failed two drug tests. His scholarship was pulled by the AD after the second one. He could have stayed on his own dime. He chose not to do that.

It is one of those thing to where the people who choose to believe in Tubby will not believe it and those who do not believe in Tubby will not believe it. Its pretty much that simple. But as I try to look at it from an unbiased eye, I just dont see the strep throat as a lie as being a legit story. Lot of truth in that. I sure don't believe the strep throat thing. Why didn't we hear about before the game? Why was it thrown out as an excuse only after the loss? It takes 48 hrs to get a diagnosis confirmed of strep. 2+2 will always equal 4. No matter if some try to say it equals 3 because they have a cousin that's a math teacher. Things add up in this situation to make the rumor have legs.

Like i said each side of the fence is going to look at it differently. I just dont happen to think they would pick strep throat as an excuse for losing to UNC!

U fo L has plenty to talk about besides Rondo's status. Don't they realize their team is greatly overrated and a paper tiger. Do they think Taquan Dean can score 30 every night in the Big East? They will be out of the top 20 by the end of February, mark it down!

I heard a lot of stories about why Parker left and am not really certain of an exact answer on that one. I do know he did not like to go to class a lot. He had very bad luck with his knees also, while he was here and even afterwards. Perhaps someone else here has more inside scoop on why Parker left. That about sums it up UK9698. Never the most disciplined student, during his recuperation from his first knee surgery he started having real academic problems due to spotty attendance. After his second surgery he basically stopped going to classes. His weight ballooned and his use of marijuana also became problematic, but the big thing was that he basically wasn't going to be academically eligible and wasn't doing anything about it.
