So what's he do? Gets together with Pete Scantlebury and they generate a controversy in the post-game presser.
Look - the kid may be injured. Shit happens; there's nothing that Cuonzo or Gabe or Sterk or even Jesus himself - the righteous one, Bill Self - can do about it.
The fanbase's refusal to enjoy ANYTHING has gone from macabre to hilarious at this point. Chris alive - the team is relevant again even without MPJ. If the dude never plays a minute this team will still go out there and give all but maybe the top 2 teams in the SEC a real fight. They'll go out and play their asses off, win quite a few games and generally be good kids to root for (seriously, how can anyone not love Kevin Puryear right now?).
Settle down, Mizzoufan; things will be what they are.

I don't give a shit who is playing as long as they are playing good and winning games. I'm excited as hell, even if MPJ doesn't play a game this year.
