You have to admit, its pretty ironic, that Noah who has had probably as sheltered a life as anyone in Div 1 basketball, would be considered "wise beyond his years" because of difficulties he's encountered.

Precisely.

Lawgator pimps Noah as this humble kid who quietly takes his criticism and uses it as motivation to let his game do the talking...quite the contrary...Noah is as obnoxious, boisterous, and arrogant as any college athlete in the country.

Now see, these opinions I can at least respect. I mean, I may not agree. But to me there is a legitmate point to be made as to whether Noah's privileged upbringing offests what I am talking about.

I happen to believe the issues involved are different. But those are valid criticisms of my point of view.

I can't recall the taunting of any of those guys reaching the nationwide crescendo that the Noah rant has. I certainly don't recall it being such a spectacle that ESPN and CNN/SI and other major outlets run lengthy stories about the haranguing that those guys took.

It's a story because loudmouth Noah made it a story...he's the one complaining to the press about all the "hate" he's received...the media has run with the story they gave him.

You don't hear Dane Bradshaw complaining about the hate he receives on road trips...he shrugs it off, like an adult.

Thank you, my point. I don't see how I would be "exhibit 1".

Exhibit 1 was this post:

He wouldn't be brought up if he didn't have a bad attitude. There is no reason to do that guffy little dance. Like another ex. Gator Emmitt Smith said, act like you've been there before. If they are the best then act like it. I have a problem with his whinning over no calls and acting like a 5 year old as if every game was there 1st win. They aren't the Marist women's team.

LOL, yeah, Noah the media mogul. He actually asked the Kentucky cheerleaders before the game to shout out at him how ugly he was just so he could wink back and make it a national story.

A few games where things got awful for them? Sure. But not every single minute of every single game, defending an NT, for a solid year.

Laettner's taunting wasn't national news because Christian was mentally tough warrior who didn't cry about how tough it was on him. He simply went out and kicked people's a$$es on the way to Duke's second consecutive national title. If you missed the SI story and ESPN features on the flack Reddick caught, you simply weren't paying attention. The garbage the Fab Five took fills Mitch Albom's fine book about the group. Noah is a child of privilege attempting to pass himself off as the modern equivalent of Jackie Robinson or Jesse Owens. He's a petulant crybaby. That's why people detest him.

that's a sound assessment...I'm sure Noah, the innocent victim that he is, took a swipe at the female cheerleader out of self defense too...those must have been anthrax pompoms...damn Kentucky cheerleaders.

I'd say Meachem's accomplishments on the field this year were as impressive or more impressive than what Noah has accomplished on the court this year.

And, outside of the State of Tennesee, you would be institutionalized for saying it.

Goodness gracious sakes alive, how did I miss this gem the first time around?

Do you want to be the one to remind us who made the First Team All-American team in their Junior season, or should I?
