Well thankfully Creekmore only got to do his little towel waving ONCE in his MSU career vs. the Panthers....so I'll let it slide. :Yea!: :Yea!: :Yea!:

I don't remember any towel waving. It was his constant flopping that drove me nuts.

Anything Creekmore does is more than overshadowed by the world class horse's ass that is his teammate.

Echenique and Creekmore have never been teammates as far as I can tell.

If someone is going to take a passive aggressive shot at Weems then I am going to stick up for him. That is all I am saying.

Interesting that you knew exactly who I was talking about, even though I didn't use his name. I guess that proves my point.... :dance:

I must say that was a very good zing, DJA. :+1:

Creekmore is too annoying than hated in my book. He's like an annoying gnat and makes a face like that when he doesn't get his way. Kinda Jamar Howard-ish except half as good and without the edge.

Players behave within the boundaries allowed by their head coach. I am all for enthusiasm, but Weems and Creekmore went over the top. That said, Martin never reeled them in. Martin also missed a handshake or two because of his own antics.

Stinnett had his own issues, much of it was because Altman couldn't or wouldn't control him. I think with Altman and Stinnett, Stinnettt was a stud, so Altman let a few things go and before Altman could reel him in, a precedent was set and he couldn't manage the situation. Stinnett was a fantastic talent but his own worst enemy. It still is more than a little bit Altman's fault.


The Miami Hurricanes under Jimmy Johnson acted only as poorly as Jimmy Johnson allowed.

It will be interesting to see if Weems behaves differently with a different coach.
There are three rules that I live by, never get less than 12 hours sleep, never gamble with a guy who has the same first name as a city and never get involved with a chick with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Stick to that and everything else is gravy!

I totally agree with you and you also seem to be unbiased. Thank you! :+1:

As far as Creekmore goes, I wouldn't want him on my team. He is what he is, and he's not that special. Guys like Funk and Jacobson I hated, but they could bring it with the best of them and I'd probably like them if they'd been on my team. Tatum is the same. There were a couple of players this past year for MSU I wouldn't have minded having on my team. Ricks, Mallet and Leonard.

I think I saw someone list Hatch as being a kid they disliked but would love on their team. I'm curious to know what it is about Hatch that some don't/didn't like?
