07:56 AM ET 04.17 | On Thursday, Luke Harangody declared himself eligible for the NBA draft. Almost by definition, this meant that any particles of doubt about his legitimacy as a college basketball player had vaporized long ago. Absolutely no one expected the bounty of the last three years at Notre Dame: the clinically consistent double-doubles; the player-of-the-year hardware; a kinetic, square-jawed bull becoming the face of a program. Now he must stun suspicious NBA executives who question his size, athleticism and assorted measurables. Surprise, surprise, indeed. It's also a no-lose proposition, as Harangody will not hire an agent. So either he blows away executives and becomes a millionaire, or he pulls out of the draft by June 15 and returns to lead an Irish team that might be better than it was this season.

Stay in school, spread the wealth among your teammates, I'd rather have balance and wins than double doubles and blowout defeats that are not in question ten minutes out of the opening tip. Prove you're a winner, you'll get your shot next year.

After speaking to several Sports Agents and NBA Souting Executives, Luke Harangody decided to pull out of this year's draft after receiving a draft grade of "Big, slow, no hops, white guy". Disappointed, Harangody purchased his first Tupac Shakur CD and went to a tanning bed to work on his game for next years draft.

Or, Uncle Charlie would like to pass him through his teeth. Ummmm, tender albino sloth, smoked with a dry, cajun rub.

"Pull out early!!"

Which is exactly what she said.

"And when it came out it went drip, drip, drip, I didn't know she had the GI-Joe with the Kung-Fu grip."

This, of course, AFTER he works on his tan.

We don't tan Bubba.

We have a quantum transition.

Milk white to lobster red.

Milk white in the car, lobster red by the time we walk to the beach.

Being a superior athlete, I am certain he has access to a synthetic melanin steroidal derivative of some sort. Kinda of an Anit-Michael Jackson cream called "The Dark". If Mike can be chalked up, Uber-Goober can be tanned up!

Gator, the Domer Whiner Club made us promise not to make fun of Uncle Charlie's weight. We agreed unless the jokes were new or hilarious - outrageous like this works too.

I'll stop making fun of Chucky's uterus pooch when he stops eating children and botching stomach staplings, until that time, I providing a public service.

The Pope said "NO" to late stage abortions and that was intended to include children up to 13 yrs old.
