I don't think anybody could deny that.

Some superfans that maybe went a little overboard with gifts and whatnot, expecting something other than what it could be with a kid. That's a little weird.

We had a dog in those days named Blue Grass and the players used to give us their Wheaties for him. Blue Grass loved Wheaties and so did I.
Ernie HarwellOne-and-done is the most damaging thing in college basketball. It brings money into the college game, because it kickstarts the bidding war.
