Respect: Alford

March 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · T-Willikers

University of New Mexico’s men’s basketball team is having a banner year.  Much of this success is due to former IU star Steve Alford.  Like most of us, I thought this guy was just another wangbangerson.  But if you can put a solid program together at a school like UMN, you’re doing pretty decent.   We’ll need another year or so until we can call him good.

Alford gave my increasing confidence in him a mega-boost yesterday after his Loco Lobos beat the 14th-ranked BYU Cougars.   After the hard-fought game, Alford shared a heated exchange with douchie-looking BYU forward Jonathan Tavernari.  Alford and Tavernari were jawing after the post-game handshake, and Indiana Steve called him an “asshole.” While I would have preferred a more vulgar option, I have to say that I enjoyed the fact that Alford was talking shit to the opposing team’s players–especially when that opposing team is BYU.  Alford has since been reprimanded by the Mountain West Conference and had apologized.  But you know playa doesn’t mean it.
