Re: Kidd

["Dan Forant" <dforant1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to watch more college next season. The pros other than the Celts
bore me. Bob Ryan is an idiot for not backing down when he had the chance.
Now he deserves what he get's. Mrs. Kidd  and her kid have a right to be
anywhere she wants to be. Anytime of day or nite and safely and shown the
proper respect.

A must win tonite. To win 4-5 will be humanly impossible for the Celts.
