MSU Red Cedar Message Board

The night before the 2007 Indy 500 I was having dinner at a resturant in the Broadripple area. Seated about 5 feet away from me at the next table was Oden and various executives from the Trailblazers and Nike. I could over hear the conversation where they were telling him they were going to select him with the 1st overall pick in the draft. I could have save the millions of dollars by advising them against it or poisining Oden's food.

I know..cool story bro

Sad to read this. Ironically enough, a friend of mine and his GF were in Vail over Christmas break on a ski trip. They stayed at some ritzy resort/lodge, and to their surprise upon entering the hot tub/jacuzzi area, there was none other than Greg Oden and a trainer of his. They ended up hitting it off and throwing down a slew of drinks over the next few hours. They said Greg was in good spirits, and was looking forward to going in and getting "cleaned up" in anticipation of joining the team late this season. Guess the dude threw back a "ton" of whiskey and cokes, and was a super nice kid.

I definitely feel for the big man. Just don't see anyway he ends up with a career that lasts another year or two -- let alone a productive one.

It hasn't been the doctors in Phoenix. It's been Nash's regimen that Hill adopted when he joined the team.

Seriously, he could pass for Morgan Freeman in this pic.

"Andy Dufrense crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side."

I wonder if he is thinking about going back to school.
