It appears they are trying to market Lucas O'Rear as a misunderstood bad boy-

Not gonna lie... He looks more like a socially awkward guy who just thinks leather jackets are still cool.

Thanks for not lying. That picture is really bad. It needs to go up in the mall with the other senior pictures.

I'd like to see the Red Sea student group wave a blow-up of that picture at O'Rear when UNI plays at Carver Arena.

And sing Summer Lovin' while he's shooting free throws.

Being I've been gone for all the MVC games the last few years I don't know anything about this kid. Looks like an innocent picture to me of a young man holding a basketball.

You've gone to all the MVC games and don't know Lucas O'Rear? The solid big man from UNI??? Drafted in Baseball??? Huh???

I think he meant he's unfortunately missed MVC games.

O'Rear certainly has the rep of a relative badboy (inside bruiser, and suspected or convicted of theft) who also looks the part on the court. That's why I think it's funny how not rough and tumble this one came out.

[it's boogie time]

He's won the sixth man award the past two years. He accepted and thrived coming off the bench. He rebounds, sets picks and gets garbage baskets.

He stole a cell phone and iPod a couple of years ago.

I re-read my post. Then re-read yours. All I can say is Huh???

Ooops... Read that wrong. I still question how a die-hard doesn't know Lucas O'Rear, but the statement makes tons more sense.

Does anyone else hate his tattoos?

[AZ BU Fan]

I am ok with the tatoos, but the cigar has to go!

I have never met LOR but my wife & I sat right behind his brother and his brother's girlfriend along w/ some of his friends and relatives at the UNI-BU game in StL last year and will say they were very friendly, not rude or inconsiderate, didn't hear cussing like so many young people. When the game was over they shook out hands and thanked us for visiting w/ them. We wished them the best of luck and went our seperate ways but my wife was very impressed-sometimes we need to get to know people-they may be very nice.
