CFB Week 3: The playoffs really did make the regular season pointless.
- Thread starter mre
- Start date
The thing is, Peter King mentioned that this tape existed and that at least Roger Goodell and the Ravens had seen it.
So occam's razor would suggest that the police had access to it.
1. Not only is the victim not cooperating, but she has actually apologized publicly for her role in everything. This is technically corroborated be the pre-elevator footage that shows her technically commit battery on Rice as well. Rice's response was extremely disproportionate to her actions, but it could factor into the prosecutor's decision not to seek jail time.
2. He's a celebrity.
The article itself states that Goodell saw it. If the police and prosecutors did not view it then they are worse than corrupt; they're incompetent.
You won. It was a comeback for the ages. 72 points in one quarter. Insanity.
Our games will never be in the notable lists as long as mre makes the threads you are just a causality this week.
Plus we are gonna get demolished.

I can't believe they haven't fired June Jones yet. He clearly hasn't given a shit for the past 2-3 years now.This is pretty much how SMU's day went.
It's ridiculous that Haden, and any other current AD's, are part of the selection committee.
Well, last year was the first year they didn't go to a bowl, so it'd look pretty bad to fire him for one down year. The possibility of them starting off this year 0-7 is very real. Tulsa on Nov. 8th (possibly) being their first win would be enough to run him out.
As a UNT fan, I just think they need to be cautious. We fired Darrell Dickey after a couple bad years in '05 and '06, and there was backlash about how we'd fired someone who took a nothing program and took it to four straight bowls/championships. We all knew that he had peaked and the program was stagnant/backsliding, but the average outsider viewed it as idiotic (even before the idiocy of hiring Todd Dodge).
SMU, judging by the commentators on the broadcast from the game, would face the same kind of backlash. Makes it much harder to bring in a good coach.
Big week for the Big 12.
OSU will continue its inevitable campaign toward a Big 12 title (and Daxxxxxx Garman begins his Heisman campaign in earnest) by stomping the UTSA Roadrunners (an up and coming program!) in Stillwater.
OU will beat the ever-loving shit out of an SECSECSEC team in Norman. Take that Saban.
Texas Tech will hopefully not embarrass themselves against Bert Bielema, Bert's cocktail waitress wife, and a lower-level SECSECSEC opponent, a game I kind of want them to win in spite of my derision for all things Tech and Lubbock. A loss to Arky would take some of the fun out of beating their asses in Stillwater a week later. Tech is much more fun to beat when they have irrational confidence.
Iowa and Iowa State fight for a corn-themed trophy, probably.
Minny-TCU, WVU-Maryland: Don't fuck this up, new members. You're on probation already.
UCLA-Texas: It would be hilarious if Texas won this game. They won't.
Kansas and Duke continue their storied rivalry. But this time... it's with an egg-shaped ball.
Baylor is favored by 31 against Buffalo and I expect them to potentially double the spread.

See, here is the thing.
We may suck (and boy do we!), but UCLA also appears to not be a very good team.. but is somehow ranked like they are.
I don't give us much of a chance, but I think we have a slight chance.
Sadly I can see this happening

ASU nearly hired Jones, I think he was in Tempe and the paper work was being drafted, until the alumni heard about it and started to threaten to stop donating.
That little fiasco was the straw that broke the camel's back and got Lisa Love fired as our AD.

Justified to oust Love?
Botching the coaching search on top of what turned out to be a bad hire in Erickson and a bad hire in Esmay for baseball and an athletic department running in the red.
NCAA ‏@NCAA 6s
Due to Penn State’s progress in ensuring athletics dept functions with integrity, NCAA immediately restores football postseason eligibility.

Well you know, there were no children molested in the last year, so they obviously fixed all their issues.
Salt in the wound, my friend. Salt in the wound.

The NCAA continues its slide into a Louis CK routine.
The NCAA is absolutely impotent now.
Of course, the continued existence of the Nike U football program already told us that, but hey.

The god damned fuck?
Until Joe Pa is no longer revered, they shouldn't have a fucking football team, let alone get all their shit back.

Joe Pa did a lot for the school besides this incident, So that'll literally never happen.
Your game against Rutgers still ain't going into the OP.

Yeah, that's how I heard it. SMU should have fired him right there.
Wow. Guess they were playing for something more afterall. Was hearing some rumblings an announcement like this was coming.

You just know the NCAA was waiting for some big news so they could sneak this by, too. The timing with the Ray Rice thing is ridiculous.
Good thing your opinion doesnt matter.

I find it comical that people believe nothing bad ever happened under Joe Pa;
He had little to no control over his players;

Penn State currently has the best shot at making this years playoffs from the B1G. Didn't think there was a chance of that pre-season

Like I said in the OT thread. If I was a USC fan I'd be absolutely livid right now.
Surely there's no connection between that state of affairs and the NCAA's decision.
Unfortunately for us, no matter what their overall level of team quality is their offense is basically custom built to exploit every weakness we have. The offense better get their shit together this week because Arkansas is going to have 1,000 yards rushing.
