Talk:Eric Gordon

message: The idea that a section of this article dealing with Eric Gordon's college career can't contain a description of how he played in one of the most important games of the season is pretty Orwellian.  Really now, what should the section on his college career contain?    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.32.38.87 (talk) 18:02, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not missing 2 FTs thats for sure. The second one was intentionally missed anyway. College career should be record breaking games, overall stats, awards won, and championships. HoosierStateTalk 21:15, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem appears to be that hoosier fans don't know the difference between an encyclopedia article and a press release.  This isn't the soviet union, you can't expunge any negative news about IDKWTI.  If he makes a bad play, it still happened.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.32.38.87 (talk) 23:52, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's impossible to list every bad play that a player makes, nor is any of it notable enough. HoosierStateTalk 00:30, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  College Career 

message: Why does the opening paragraph mention his scoring average on Febrary 14th?  Stats from the middle of the season are generally unimportant, especially when they are a month old.  Putting his scoring average from Feb 14 in the lead makes this article look like amateur hour.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.32.38.87 (talk) 23:22, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Problem solved. HoosierStateTalk 23:36, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  February 14th ? 

message: Why is "player" in quotations?
* There was some vandalism in the lead. I've reverted the offending changes. GJ (talk) 17:33, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Basketball "player"? 

message: I've attempted to expand this section greatly to include a rough timeline and details about what happened when in Gordon's recruitment. There are still some citations missing -- notably, regarding his reasons for his initial verbal commitment, how heavily Mike Davis recruited him, and commentary on Kelvin Sampson's behavior in the aftermath of the decommitment. Please fill these citations in if you can. GJ (talk) 06:45, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Did he play Michael Jordan's son Marcus in Space Jam?
NO STUPID!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.214.83.162 (talk) 17:15, August 29, 2007 (UTC) 
So now the page says that he WAS in Space Jam, but with no corroborating evidence. I think it needs to be described as an open question.
According to IMDB.com  he did play him.

message: IDKWTI is a stupid name made up by U of I fans with no creativity, they just hate IU because their program will always be mid-level overall.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.239.172.46 (talk) 20:28, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
