[QUOTE="2-10-08"]loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool I would not even have spent that much over 5 years yet it can still run pretty much any new game on high on my 2.5 year old gpu. Yeah really. I paid $800 for my laptop that'll run just about everything.Get ready to pay $3000 every year if you want to play the latest games.

its not 2008-2009, you guys didnt get anyone better, Artest is garbage. Ariza was decent. Magic switched Hedo for Carter which is at least reasonable.mischa_bartonArtest has done a lot more in the playoffs than Carter has done, or did.. [spoiler] And I'm a Magic fan :cry: [/spoiler]
You implied that USC's punishment was unreasonably harsh. I'd call it a relative slap on the wrist.QuistisTrepe_Yeah our different insight over this case doesn't illustrate our historic background one way or the other, especially when we both agree the NCAA usually gives harsh punishments. I've taken the liberty of expanding upon my stance though, so you can see I don't believe it's unreasonably harsh, per say, more like I believe it could better target those supposedly responsible.
I think this is absolutely appropriate. About time the NCAA took serious actions against one of their moneymaker schools.nocoolnamejimUnfortunately this punishes the kids just as much, if not more, than those responsible actually responsible for the allegations. Not only are there innocent players that will be stripped of past accomplishments, but players NOW will also be punished. Sure attack the University, I'm cool with that, but this hurts as many innocent as it does guilty, which shouldn't be the goal of any effective form of punishment.
[QUOTE="FL_Lloyd"]Not surprising, the NCAA has a prominent history of giving unreasonably harsh punishments. USC will undoubtedly appeal though so we'll see what happens.QuistisTrepe_
Um, what? Oh my, someone needs a history lesson. The "death penalty" was so strong against SMU that it aided in the collapse of an entire conference as well as SMU football. It took the SMU football program 20 years to recover from the scandals. USC is getting off easy by comparison. Now we know why Pete Carroll jumped ship.
I need a history lesson because I said the NCAA has a harsh history, which you proved even more so?
Yeah I'll look into that lol
