Clearly Romar is not a good coach and encourages his team to take cheap shots like that to win. The best part: I hate UCLA. I'm a Cal alum. But all of you should be ashamed that your team looks like a bunch of dirty punk kids.

He is disliked by most Oregon fans for his several reasons. The first is just his appearance. He looks like the last person you would think was a D1 (pac 10) player. Ugly as all sin, thin, with that awful 3XL undershirt making him look like that last guy in the gym during a pick-up game asking everyone if “you want to run with me next.” Husky fans, think for a minute what you would think about him if he played for another team….. And I do not have a double standard, I remember opposing fans chanting “Fro-do Bagg-ins” when Luke Jackson was shooting FT’s (and I could see why people would say that).<BR/><BR/>Reason #2: Most people don’t know this, but, Brooks bowed him because he uttered a racial slur. You can fill in the blank here. At least fans just give him a hard time instead of having to get Jesse Jackson involved… Besides he tends to play well against the ducks, and is obviously an easy target. Look at the frail lil guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769884.post-35997513864067522922008-02-14T16:03:00.000-08:002008-02-14T16:03:00.000-08:00Wow....plenty of reaction on this one, and that is...Wow....plenty of reaction on this one, and that is what makes the rivarly great.<BR/><BR/>On Appleby, I think he is a nice kid, but he had to be the most over rated kid in state history coming out of high school.<BR/><BR/>He is slow, can't play defense well, and is pretty one dimensionsal. He needs to get set to be accurate which means he needs to shoot off screens. He is also streaky, so even when he is open you don't know what type of night he is going to have.John Berkowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506119469461963535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769884.post-67840534134424716552008-02-14T09:08:00.000-08:002008-02-14T09:08:00.000-08:00Anonymous poster #6...you Quack me up...Appleby is...Anonymous poster #6...you Quack me up...Appleby is by no means a "great" player but a very good role player.

And yes, he seems to be a major league Duck killer. Oregon fans dislike Appleeby for a number of reasons, the ones previously mentioned are just a few. He seems like a whiny little kid who would through a tantram everytime he didn't get his way.

He was contrite about the entire incident. He never complained about his suspension and always expressed sorrow at his very poor decision and representation of the ducks.<BR/><BR/>The fact that Appleby explicitly said he didn't accept the apology was what angered Duck fans. I can expect a young kid like Appleby to be angry, but I would expect Coach Romar and his parents to perhaps council him that the best way to deal with the situation was to put it in the past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769884.post-70790043806140229872008-02-13T13:33:00.000-08:002008-02-13T13:33:00.000-08:00unreal, he could have thrown that ball anywhere el...unreal, he could have thrown that ball anywhere else on his body.

I was at the game and one thing that the video doesn't show is Morris extending a hand to Aboya before the second in bounds play and Aboya refusing. You can see Morris mouth the words "thats all right" as Fox cuts from the replay back to live action. I Howland is a punk though, if you watch the video you see Howland standing about four feet away with both of his hands up as a second inbounds defender. <BR/><BR/>The difference between Brooks and Morris is that Brooks could have been arrested for what he did while Morris was acting within the rules. But I have never been a fan of throwing the ball off the opposing player rule.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769884.post-76547349151128435802008-02-13T11:57:00.000-08:002008-02-13T11:57:00.000-08:00Lame Duck?

Appleby might have fouled Brooks on the other end of the court but that on no way justified Aaron's response. Appleby seems to be a duck slayer--that is why most reasonable duck fans dislike him. <BR/><BR/>I understand being a fan but I wouldn't paint with such a broad brush . . . I seem to recall a recent expose and the response of some dawg fans. Given your view on ball-of-the-face gate I doubt you were defending the program against some of those horrific allegations. <BR/><BR/>People are blinded by allegience everywhere, not just Oregon. So it isn't "Oregon logic." Look no further than the recent expose and your own fan base's response. More likely it is human nature to overlook your own group's transgressions and magnify those of the other. <BR/><BR/>Good luck on Thursday.
