Sat, 24 Jul 2010 20:04:05 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2010/07/24/worst-iowa-football-games-in-ferentz-era-nos-4-6#IDComment88544479 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/docs-office/2010/07/19/uthoff-picks-wisconsin#IDComment87919824 so you're argument rests on the fact that brian butch might make the nuggets and stiemsma who probably won't make the t-wolves. also you keep referencing jon leuer, who if he stays healthy, could get drafted high. but who has him going high? oh, those mock drafts you knock me for but use to support his case.

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 18:31:58 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/docs-office/2010/07/19/uthoff-picks-wisconsin#IDComment87919228 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/docs-office/2010/07/19/uthoff-picks-wisconsin#IDComment87808704 so a 6'3'' power forward was an nba prospect? who cares if he was drafted in the first round. also, check your facts he was the 29th pick. all you need is one team to like you. in fact i read that chad ford had tucker going at number 42 in his mock draft that year, a pick that usually means you're bound for europe. also, i pointed out the harris trade because he was so valuable that the mavs traded him after 3 plus years. we can go in circles and still won't agree. plain and simple wisconsin produces good college players. nothing more really. bohannon will never play in the nba, kirk penney was a great shooter, but hasn't gone higher than the d-league. even brian butch who looked like he might buck the trend is just now getting his NBA shot with the nuggets.

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 03:36:55 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/docs-office/2010/07/19/uthoff-picks-wisconsin#IDComment87807371 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/docs-office/2010/07/19/uthoff-picks-wisconsin#IDComment87747705 i never said iowa produced NBA products but since you asked reggie evans seems to be doing fine making a cool $5 mil playing in Toronto. also, i thought maybe Butler would be an ideal fit since he has a similair frame to Gordon Hayward who was just drafted by the Jazz. Tue, 20 Jul 2010 21:40:33 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/docs-office/2010/07/19/uthoff-picks-wisconsin#IDComment87747705 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/docs-office/2010/07/19/uthoff-picks-wisconsin#IDComment87700503 devin harris was picked 5th and traded to the hapless nets for senior citizen jason kidd. i'll give you that one. but alando tucker? seriously you're offering up alando tucker as an NBA prospect? he may have been picked 27th but he's currently out of the league after several d-league stints. check YOUR facts. Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:06:16 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/docs-office/2010/07/19/uthoff-picks-wisconsin#IDComment87700503 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/docs-office/2010/07/19/uthoff-picks-wisconsin#IDComment87608552 they love to go there and play in a system that produces no NBA prospects :-P Tue, 20 Jul 2010 03:10:44 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/docs-office/2010/07/19/uthoff-picks-wisconsin#IDComment87608552 http://oldgo.gazlab.com.php5-15.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/local-news/government/2010/07/13/city-to-direct-fema-funds-to-fix-electrical-service-in-ellis-boat-harbor#IDComment86574955 nope not the city, the feds. FEMA money isn't free. it's taxpayer $$.
