Take mine with you please."fitting", not "firing".
Autocorrect and I are going to the woodshed to discuss a few things . . .
I was going to say the same thing. Autocorrect got me on his name in the last thread. Autocorrect always gets me - took it out to the woodshed myself.Kedric autocorrects to Kendrick apparently. Referring to the twitter links posted earlier.
The information we've been missing has been right in front of our eyes this whole time!!!! I knew Eric Gordon had something to do with this. He's the accuser!
I'm guessing Pru's ID will only be known when a story hits the national news about an older gentleman being found down wearing an Illini robe, surrounded by grieving NLs, fun prescription drugs, a cornucopia of home cooked dishes, and an absurd amount of gummies.
Until then, some mysteries are best left unsolved.
Kendrick implied some other males DNA was found on the underwear. One scenario that hasn’t got much traction is this is a tragic case of misidentification. Neither side is lying. I do find it hard to believe the DA would not be acting quickly though if the DNA wasn’t TJs.
I'm thinking that Kedric's information isn't "fresh." He mentioned that it was back in October that TSJ voluntarily submitted DNA, and that it wasn't a match. but didn't exactly say there was DNA found. He also said that TSJ didn't know who the accuser was. It seems that TSJ has now been given that information, I think it may have just been in the filings that U of I did at midnight Thursday. The story circulating (bascially, a rumor) that the accuser also did something similar with some KU players would imply that they some people know her identity now. Since Bill Self is basically God in Lawrence, KS and he's been trying to help out, perhaps he was able to get that information on the downlow. Totally speculative on my part, I'm just trying to make sense of it all. I'm not a fan of this kind of talk about an accuser, but everything about this case seems "off." Kind of like our play in the second half of the Maryland game.Delete
Cliff Notes version: An organization will always protect itself at the expense of an individual.I think a lot of us are NOT ok with Shannon being suspended without due process. Many posts have attested as to how unfair this is to him and not in the spirit of innocense before guilt.
But a lot of us also know that organizations today are very public relations conscious as well as very litigation averse. So they tend to err on the side of what course of action they believe will further both of those aims the best and protect themselves the most... and everything else gets tossed aside.
One of the greatest offenses to an accused without due process is the damage done to one’s reputation that often stays with the person for the entire rest of their lives. How do you ‘repair’ a damaged reputation with so much of the public if it turns out that you were in fact innocent? You can’t. It’s an unfairness that one has have the strength of character to live with and get on with their lives the best way that they can.
Many of us have been uneasy from the beginning as to how this Shannon process has developed. And I for one have pleaded for the U to seriously review their current policy for possible amending to include for greater fairness for an accused.
The best that can be said is that true justice is of course determined and proper consequences assessed. And without a doubt... this experience is indeed a major learning event for Shannon, his accuser, the U, and many of us as we witness this process.
In any case, Illini Nation is still being robbed of an opportunity to watch one of the best young men to play for The Beloveds in their history. And we won’t be getting any restitution for THAT. And while this may not rise to the level of true justice being achieved in a serious situation... this is still no trivial loss for Illini fanatics.
Once again... things in Life intrude upon our lives. Turns we did not expect to take. And losses we hoped not to feel. That don't ever show up in the Loss Column of the Standings.
This is where I'm at, too. I don't think details are coming as quickly as they were right after the charges were made public and people are going over what they do know to make sense of things.I'm thinking that Kedric's information isn't "fresh." He mentioned that it was back in October that TSJ voluntarily submitted DNA, and that it wasn't a match. but didn't exactly say there was DNA found.

I wonder though if the Defense asked for a statement from him because if he made one it's not in the currently available files.I'm thinking that Kedric's information isn't "fresh."

Shhhh - let the legend live!!!!No, we didn't interview "Weird Arby's Guy"
In 2011, former 7 Action News Reporter Julie Banovic did a story about a car smashing through an Arby'sin Royal Oak. That story is back in the limelight again after a YouTube comedian edited himself in the story as an Arby's employee.www.wxyz.com
Shhhh - let the legend live!!!!
God knows we need 'em!Sorry I ruined everyone’s distraction….
God knows we need 'em!
I still live in North Alabama and this interview is legionary! TY for the comic relief on a freezing Tuesday. Go Illini!I used to live in North Alabama. One day I was watching the local 6 o’clock news cause I like to party. This insanely bizarre interview came on during a story about someone breaking into an apartment and trying to grope this guy’s sister.
It was so goofy that I actually recorded the local news….to show people how goofy this guy interviewed was.
Next day the whole thing went viral. Memes, an auto tune remix….all the things. Ended up being this….

Heard from a couple people they expected today but has not happened yet. Should still be soon (if not today, next couple of days)I think a decision was expected today but didn't happen. Anyone know what the deadline is?
