The mobile version is a notable step backward. I'm okay with it on a PC, but having to click scores and ONLY seeing scores is a major, major mistake. It was so nice being able to quickly change the sport and see scores + news on the previous iteration. Some of these sites just lose sight of the fact that mobile sites should be "glancible" if you will. There is no need to go overboard -- make it easy to look down at for a moment as you walk.

Tuscaloosa PD are saying that they believe something happened between Taylor and his girlfriend. They had enough evidence to warrant an arrest, bruising on her neck and damage at the apartment. Sounds like she may be having second thoughts, victim guilt, etc.
the homicide squad is investigating this? Presumably they're looking into the death of Taylor's football career?
It's not the best, but it's a whole lot better than the old one which was complete shit.
Don't agree at all. The ads seem much more prevalent, and the combination of the infinite scrolling and the "recommended by Outbrain" sets of ads make it feel like a cheap blog to me.
::edit::
I've also opened up multiple stories over the last few days that autoplay videos (in what appears to be Flash) that do not have pause, mute, or close buttons on them, which is 100% certified bullshit.

Word.
I've noticed in most website redesigns, the ads and site content are becoming a lot more blended. If they get their ad revenue via "pay per click", I guess its a smart move because I almost accidentally clicked an ad link on their new layout today.
And this is why you avoid players with this sort of background:
The more this woman talks, the more I get vibes like Ray Rice's GF/wife.
Though if she keeps insisting upon hoisting and rehoisting herself up on this petard, then Taylor may end up back on the team while she does a spin in jail for her trouble.
Spent the afternoon back in Athens. Had lunch at what USED to be Harry Bisset's downtown, walked around north campus with some friends. Even though downtown is much more filled in that it was 14 years ago, it and north campus largely look the same. Walking around, it still feels like I live there. Very weird.

One of my coworkers friends does a drawing a day and posts them on his instagram, thought you bama fans might like his from today:
They've OK'd renovations, so that will go underway at some point after this season, I think. That said, I don't think it's that bad, but I'm biased.

I wouldn't be surprised if The Cadets play a schedule of 12 SEC teams in 2016
"Games against FBS independents BYU, Army and Notre Dame will now count toward the SEC's requirement of playing one nonconference Power 5 team per season, sources told ESPN.com.
Beginning in 2016, the SEC will require its league members to play at least one nonconference Power 5 team."

Yep.
No, this off season really sucks. Just lost our 5th player off the two deep. Three to injury and two to felonious stupidity.
No they won't, Army left CUSA because it was too competitive for them (mind you it wasn't the current CUSA, but even still).
Army has an issue where they can't recruit players, like Navy because they can't get out of size restrictions.

Losing to OSU isn't currently impacting the shittiness of the off-season. Sorry to burst that bubble.

Yep, losing him hurts the most out of all the players we've lost so far.
Lot of misinformation going around about this.
-Kids were told very plainly what program they were admitted into.
-The program is called PACE, and it allows you to transfer on campus.
-This isn't new, a lot of colleges and universities have been doing this for years.
Certainly, though I think the major point was that applicants didn't know this was an option until they got the letter. I just think the two years of online study is a bit much. Working in education, the only benefit to students is the flexible timing. Everything else is just a way for the school to save/make more money.
*Full Disclosure: I still mock A&M for their ridiculous "University Studies" major. Now that is a farcical program.

I tried my best not to waste any energy being envious of Wisconsin basketball, especially since we kicked the shit out of them in the B1G football title game on the road to our national championship.
That said, I'm extremely glad they lost, and that Bo Ryan responded by being his usual bitter asshole self. I wish Bo could also coach their football team so I could go back to hating them as much as I did in the Bielema days.

He was so salty when he lost to Rutgers it was amazing.

He's a fucking jackhole sore loser hypocrite manchild.
The media crowning Wisconsin "America's team" over the past week was just fucking disgusting. Bo Ryan can go fuck himself.
As of 2016, they will not need to.

Bad news for Cinci.
Interesting thing is that the ACC might go for 3 divisions.

I've been playing OOTP Baseball, which is a baseball spreadsheet simulator and thinking about it, it would be fun to have a college football version. Especially because OOTP has a fun feature where the league rules can change over time (like the NL adopting the DH). It'd be cool to have a college version with rule changes, conference realignments etc.
Basically all the meta game shit EA always tried to do with NCAA but never got quite right.

The biggest issue for the ACC continues to be how to get teams to play one another more often, given other scheduling constraints. Florida State, for example, has a yearly game against Miami from the other division, which means they have only one slot for any other member of that division in any year, which means they'll only play other members of that division once every six years, which also means those members won't go to Florida State but once every 12 years. Those members, while possibly happy to not have to lose to Florida State, aren't happy about not playing often enough in Florida (reason: recruiting), and would also not be happy about Florida State not coming to their place (reason: ticket sales).
You could say "go to 9 games like most other conferences!," but that's just not going to happen with the Notre Dame scheduling arrangement and with several teams having yearly rivalry games against SEC schools. Smaller divisions or divisions otherwise not fixed would solve many of the scheduling frequency issues.
Another thing for the ACC is balance, with Florida State and Clemson being the best teams and being in the same division.
tl;dr: 14 teams are too many. Big XII has everything right except for the name.
Putting aside my satisfaction at OSU being in a scholarship crunch from oversigning, it seems like this is an injured kid who is still on the team and who Dr. Anderson has cleared to possibly return to football activities in the fall. So... not sure I see the issue here.

Just wanted to post it because it's out there. I don't personally see an issue, either.
Just when I thought I couldn't dislike them more.
It's a shitty thing to do to the kid. He's an early enrollee and wants to play football. While it sounds like he's had injury after injury, they're just saying to a freshman that he's never going to be able to play there due to medical reasons, but that they'll still honor his scholarship. I don't think he wants to throw in the towel as a freshman. Or they could also be saying that since he's unable to play right now they're going to grayshirt him for this year until they're under their limit and then might put him back on the team.
According to the Dr, it's a 4-6 week injury. The issue here is that tOSU is at 88 scholarship players and has to do some "roster management" to hit the 85 number. Is Oversigning.com still around? Wasn't that run by an tOSU fan?
No and Yes.
