Crowd cheered Metrodome sexcapade

Last update: November 26, 2008 – 7:02 AM

While the Iowa Hawkeyes were scoring at will on the field Saturday night, two fans from the Hawkeye State were scoring elsewhere in the Metrodome.

Police say a man and woman were “having relations” in a bathroom stall as a crowd cheered them on.

Ross M. Walsh, 26, of Linden, Iowa, and Lois K. Feldman, 38, of Carroll, Iowa, were cited for misdemeanor indecent conduct. Walsh was released to his girlfriend and Feldman to her husband, police said.

A security guard came upon the scene in the handicapped stall, police said. Police were summoned, and they separated the two.

Both were intoxicated, said University Deputy Police Chief Chuck Miner.

From the Sunday News

I’ll insert my comments here so you don’t confuse them with actual professional journalism.  There is definitely more to the KG Punchout story.  This event was probably so minor in KG’s life that he no longer remembers it.  But I have a hard time believing this.  I’m sure Rickert was getting cocky and started doing some trash talking.

As far as Rick making it to the NBA, ha.  Limited playing time in New Zealand does not equal NBA material.  You should have went to Arizona and stayed there for 4 years.  Biggest Mistake of Your Life.  Now onto the story…

BREAKERS star Rick Rickert has revealed his NBA dreams were shattered by a punch-up with multi-millionaire Dream Teamer Kevin Garnett.

Back in 2004, the one-time NBA prodigy Rickert was attempting to impress his coaches at the Minnesota Timberwolves, while Garnett was guarding him.

The youthful Rickert had scored several times on Garnett, which reportedly led some other players to tease the 11-time NBA All-Star. When Rickert scored again, Garnett lost it.

“That’s probably one of the main reasons I didn’t make the Timberwolves,” said Rickert, who was reluctant to talk about the ugly incident.

“We were playing a pick-up game, I scored a couple of times on Garnett who was guarding me … and I don’t know why but the next time on the floor he sucker punched me.

“I got a chipped tooth and needed seven stitches. I guess it was because I was putting up some points on him but that might have been my downfall with the Timberwolves.

“Kevin is obviously a great player it was great to play with and against him for a while even though I lost some respect for him.”

The altercation between the pair has since seen the two take contrasting paths.

While Rickert is plying his trade in the under-paid NBL, Garnett is on a salary of US$24.75 million at the Boston Celtics.

Rickert believes it was this coming together that cost him a career with Minnesota, and a chance of a shot at the big-time.

Rickert has since found it hard to find a club to suit him, after the Timberwolves sent him to Europe. He played in Spain and Greece in the Euro League and in the D-League for Ashville, Colorado and Fayettville, before arriving in New Zealand last year.

Yet despite the stunning performances he has been putting in for the Breakers, this could be the last season we see the exuberant Yank at the North Shore-based side.

Rickert wants to prove a point to the NBA and perhaps most of all Garnett.

“I still hold aspirations of playing in the NBA,” Rickert said. “That’s something I’m still going to work for this summer and see what happens.

“It’s kind of frustrating as I really haven’t had a chance to show what I can do in the NBA and I can do a lot.

“But that’s life and you have to roll with the punches.”

For the time being, Rickert is enjoying pulling on the Breakers shirt.

“The season is going great, we’re playing well together, we’re having a good time,” he said.

“I think everyone on the team brings their own greatness.

“Kirk (Penney) is obviously a great scorer, CJ (Bruton) is a general he runs the team it’s all pieces to the puzzle.

“We all have our own role mine is obviously scorer and rebounder. We all fit in together and it’s working.”

The 2.10m American cuts a distinctive figure on the side-lines, but not just because of his height. Flapping arms, high-fiving and exuberant reactions are all synonymous with Rickert.

“I like to get up and get everybody excited. I try to be a motivator,” he said.

“I like to be the energy guy that gets everyone going. I get amped if the team is doing well.

“Even if we’re not, I’m trying to get everybody back up where we need to be. I just bring the energy.”

Rickert is part of a core starting five with Penney, Bruton, Tony Ronaldson and Oscar Forman that coach Andrej Lemanis expects to build early leads. Yet it is noticeable Rickert has had considerably less playing time than the other four, a fact that fails to bother him.

“Obviously, I would like more playing time,” he admitted.

“But it is the coach’s decision I go out there and do what I can do with the minutes given to me and be as positive as I can.”

For the rest of this year at least, we can expect to see Rickert hustling around the basket for the Breakers.

“I definitely love playing here, it’s very professional,” he said.

“I think we can win every game.

“Every game from here on out people are going to come after us. So we have to concentrate on playing our game.

“As for me we’ll see how this summer pans out.

“As of right now, I’m concentrating on winning an NBL championship.”

How do you think Rickert would do in the NBA?

Seriously?? Is he sleeping? Is he flinching? He’s an odd dog, but he makes some great pictures.

T-Pain is a tool

So the Univeristy of Minnesota Men’s BBall team is the Champions…of some tournament full of nobody’s.  I can’t get the picture to upload from work.  I’ll get it up after I get home…

My new camera came in the mail yesterday.  I’m pretty stoked.  I don’t think it will make it out on the party bus this weekend, but it should be back in GB for Thanksgiving and in Lutsen for the snowboard trip.

It’s been awhile since I’ve done anything to this site.  Luckily Natalie wrote a brilliant comment on the About page.  Thanks sweetie.  I didn’t realize the New Zealand Basketball League was the life goal for someone with a head as big as Rick’s was.

Anyway, to the real news.  Snowmaking has begun at Lutsen Mounttain.

The ski hill will actually be open this weekend.  Better yet, 25 days still stand between now and when our crew of 40+ takes over the shores of Lake Superior.  The weather appears to be perfect for snowmaking.  This is really building up to be the best Lutsen trip ever.  And with that, I feel like something really really really bad could happen…

Looks like everyday at North Point is a co-ed swimsuit water fight in 80 degree sunny weather with inflattable games.  Party!
