Unfortunately even more rumors are swirling around our beloved Athena 5. Now please realize as you are reading this that all the information included in the links in this blog post are from someone who I don't know, haven't met and have NO IDEA how credible a source he is.
Two days ago blogger George Savaricas made a post to his blog "One Bad Century" claiming that the entire Athena fracas was caused by Stefhon Hannah's demand for chicken wings after the restaurant had already closed.
I came across a link to this blog yesterday on Rock M Nation and elected not to mention anything about it because I had no way of verifying its validity (and I still don't).
But yesterday there was yet another post on "One Bad Century" in which blogger Anthony Atencio claims to have interviewed the workers of Athena about the conduct of MU basketball players at the nightclub.
In the story Athena workers claim that players engaged in "constant marijuana smoking" and said there were always issues with paying.
Atencio says that he has been interviewed by the Columbia Tribune and if these rumors prove to be true then the roof is about to be blown off of the MU basketball program. I don't want anyone to accept these rumors as truth because there is absolutely no way to verify them, but I'll definitely be checking the Tribune for the next few weeks.
Now to some more credible news from the past two days courtesy of the Missourian:
- ESPN's Joe Lunardi believes that if Mizzou can finish above .500 they will be in the NIT.
- It is still unknown whether or not Stefhon Hannah will return to MU to finish his degree but Mike Anderson thinks he will probably withdraw from the university.
- And finally, a very good preview of the MU baseball team. This one is much better than the 5-part series that mutigers.com has been running all week.
- Martin Rucker, Will Franklin and Darnell Terrell received invites to this week's NFL Combine. No Tony Temple?
