Day 4 and no arrest

Higgins is playing the victim card. The Clintons used to do that all the time to deflect really terrible scandals. Higgins is cut from the same cloth.

You mean they never stopped doing it.

Body count

911 - 3,000
Clintons - 52

Once Chelsey dog runs I expect the list to grow to well over 100.
 
The death threats. Where is the proof?

Perhaps you are unaware, but I am not a state prosecutor.
Why or how would I have proof of this?
But sans proof, am I not able to have the opinion that it is perfectly plausible.... if not probable... that some lunatic, imbecilic fan made threats?
 
Wait, you guys think people are going to get prosecuted?

That's not going to happen. If anything, they'll be an official announcement after the FF where Higgins says he's decided not to press charges, and everyone will applaud him for being so forgiving.

I agree.
Though I doubt there is any formal announcement. I think the NCAA would like this to quietly go away.
 
they have phone records . Recordings. Yet no arrest. Did it really not happen ?Was Higgins just trying to add insult to injury by smearing UK and playing the victim role?

So the wacko who called a ref over a basketball game determines his worth by the number of likes he gets on social media...
and you call me a 2nd grader... :) :)
You know when someone says you are going on ignore, they are admitting defeat.

The guy is playing the victim card, he is known as the " most loathed" referee in college basketball.(Inside Edition ran a story saying this)
But asking why no arrest is premature. They have phone records, recordings, but does that prove a actual UK fans was behind it? No. They have to track these people down who called, and prove it was them, a long tedious process.

yeah.... im not sure many people do.

the counter point, of course, is --- why would anyone trust some of the fringe uk fan base with rational and reasonable behavior?

I read a rather one sided piece in an Omaha newspaper that made Higgins the victim. It was lazy journalism. Apparently, UK fans are upset about one game. Not many. Most know about 2015 and some about 2011 as well.

Again what people did to his business website was wrong. Funny but wrong.
What some idiots did to him does not excuse the fact that he is a biased official which is what the focus should be on.

Except the general population... which is mnt fnantacial about college basketball... doesn't give two shits about poorly officiated games.
But a ref getting supposed death threats? That is a story.
And so the media covers it.
 
Barryn's anger grows with every passing minute

Angry about what...that nobody is/gets arrested?

Some of you people have zero reading comprehension or are incapable of grasping anything but the most simple concepts. I tried to talk the crazy's off the ledge, discourage calling and bombing Higgins FB page. I tried pointing out the unintended consequences.

Better yet....I posted that the worst case scenario for us fans and UK would be if someone were arrested...that the best thing for us is if this just stopped and died as being newsworthy.

You and most of the lunatic fringe have repeatedly tried to create this strawman that anyone that disagrees with your silliness is somehow backing and supporting Higgins. There's no grey area...it's either agree with you 100% or suffer your juvenile insults. I've never given a shit what insults RR nutjobs throw at me...if you were here in 05-08 you'd know that.

This has always been about the 10,000 mile view for me, I could not care less if Joe Blow makes himself look like a jackass and/or gets in trouble. For me, It's about the BBN as a whole, the perception of this site, the media feeding frenzy that was 100% sure to follow and the possibility that this would piss off other ref's and ultimately affect a future game.

You're in for a tough ride in life if you categorize everyone that doesn't agree with you 100% as your enemy.

You didn't try to talk anyone off a ledge. You came in after the damage was done and got your pantries in a wad about it

We have four possibilities no bad calls and sore losers, bad calls and sore losers, a bought and paid for official and sore losers, a corrupt NCAA and sore losers. I think a true journalist might want to dig.

I think you are way overestimating the interest in the basketball angle of this story beyond that within BBN.

Were the threats anonymous, anonymous?

"after the damage was done"

Interesting choice of words for someone that has encouraged and applauded this thing.

Actually, I've been addressing these threads since it began on Mon...unfortunately, hard to prove since the Mod's were deleting the original ones that were encouraging people to call and post on Higgins FB...that is, unless I have a screenshot [eyeroll]
