The R came up with a legal shot attempt line of reasoning, before pulling out the "I've done this longer than you, don't question me card" and waving off the bucket. As the U1 is a friend of mine, I am glad to see that his career has moved up as he has gotten a larger college schedule (which also means I can save on gas by carpooling!!!). I am also glad to see that the R has been picked up and dropped by 3 seperate college leagues.

That's not a controversy, the R kicked it and was an a$$ in the process. To me, for it to be controversy he'd have had to at least have some valid reasoning.
