Dude, an entire department was fabricating grades.

Wait, Hansbrough's mom? Can someone explain that one?

First tragedy, then farce.
Mrs Hansbrough worked for the University of North Carolina as a fundraiser for the athletic department. She dated the QB at UNC and they took trips together on the schools dime.

Mrs Hansbrough worked for the University of North Carolina as a fundraiser for the athletic department. She dated an ex QB at UNC and they took trips together on the schools dime to watch her younger son play bb for the dormers.

Also, she was magically hired during Tyler senior season.

You're not gonna harsh my vibe, CFB-GAF. By this time tomorrow, I will have loaded up on Lowcountry boil, thrown the ball around a bit, yelled at the top of my lungs for pregame, and settled in to watch my school's top-ten football team resume a long-neglected rivalry to open the 2013 football season. Aw yiss.

There will probably be serious changes coming in the next few years at least.

I'm not sure if I'm angrier that JFB got suspended for a half than I would be if he hadn't gotten suspended at all. The NCAA's incompetence is laughable and of course it just screams of them always being able to say "well, at least we did something guys." smh

Local ESPN Radio (a Trogan station) has been cathartic today.

Still waiting for someone to call in and tell the hosts running with the "rules don't apply to the SEC" meme about Alabama or Oregon.

Why would they bring in Alabama on that topic? We just got off of probation a couple years ago!

To falsify the claim, the rules did apply to Alabama. (Just as the rules not applying to Highlighter U also falsify the claim.)

Alright, motherfuckers. The best time of the year is back!

Date - Opponent

(Possible Ls in red)
Sep. 2 - at Pittsburgh
Sep. 14 - Nevada
Sep. 21 - Bethune-Cookman
Sep. 28 - at Boston College
Oct. 5 - Maryland
Oct. 19 - at Clemson
Oct. 26 - NC State
Nov. 2 - Miami-FL
Nov. 9 - at Wake Forest
Nov. 16 - Syracuse
Nov. 23 - Idaho
Nov. 30 - at Florida


Prediction: 9-3, with 8-4 being more likely than 10-2.

- RS Fr QB in Winston. There's going to be growing pains.
- 11 FSU players drafted in the NFL. Lots of talent & leadership gone.
- New & unproven DC in Pruitt, but comes with Lord Saban's blessing. That's all Jimbo needs. This Defense is going to be prone to giving up big plays as it learns the new system.
- Thin OL depth. FSU never has any luck with injuries.

Main reason I'm kinda low on FSU this season? This guy:

Jimbo_Irresistible_zps8c39f560.jpg


Egomaniac and micromanager. One of FSU's losses this season will be because of Jimbo's playcalling.

All I know is USC has the only legit claim to "Tusk"

Hmmm.... interdasting.

Thanks.

Is it a direct port (plus HD) or have they modified that horrific fetch-quest at the end that prevented me from ever beating it?

You can get a sail that moves the boat way faster (and removes the need to change wind direction), only have to get like 3 triforce charts translated now, "Hero Mode" (double damage, no hearts found in the environment) unlocked from the start, you can walk around in first person, you can save more pictures simultaneously with the Pictograph, and the most important feature of all:

Link can now take selfies.

??? That's so lazy. Do you not have any long term goals for Carolina? Carolina has been so much better than Southern Cal the past couple of years. The only reason Southern Cal is famous in the first place is because they got murderers in their backfield in the 90's. "Running" back U indeed.
Click to expand...

I know CFB-GAF is the best because although we all hate each others schools in that good ol' rivalry way, I didn't have to come and set a South Carolina fan in his place when he was getting too big for his britches. Y'all did it for me <3


Lonestar said:
most of my bitterness is over being hammered a decade ago, when one guy not employed by the university gave money to a players high school coach (not even the player), to "persuade" the player into signing at the school. Something that I'm still not sure was ever proven on paper.

I imagine USC fans have this same sort of feeling.

Where was this toothless entity back then?
Click to expand...

Yeah, no kidding. What sucks is we all knew the NCAA was bullshit the entire time, but if it was consistent bullshit you could sorta live with it.

When it's this crazy grab bag of corruption and random harsh/mild/no punishments it's just infuriating.


Lonestar said:
USC's was, well, it's still hard to decipher. Reggie Bush not paying back loans?
Click to expand...

USC's was about "malicious intent" by the people investigating USC and Todd McNair. McNair is gonna get a fat payday out of the NCAA. Meanwhile the NCAA is fighting tooth and nail to keep documents sealed about the investigation because it would make the NCAA look even worse than it already does. Let that sink in. WORSE than they do now.

Jesus Christ this SCe fan. Get a grip.

Also, fuck johnny football. Or FJF as I will now call him. Fuck ATM. I welcome the Alabama beatdown of them.

Hilariously, even Cal is better than SCe on all of those metrics but one.
Click to expand...

Oh Cyan, cursed with my avatar being Calvin normally and making you look bad by association lol.

And if you think Cal is really better than Carolina... well, ha, is all I have to say to that :p metrics are one thing but come on man. We're not a national power, but we're not Cal either. We hold our own in the SEC; Cal holds its own in the PAC 12 :3

Edit: I will shower in your hate once we lose lol, done it many times before. But until then, we're #6 baby

I'm not sure why you keep bringing Carolina into the discussion. The Tarheels don't have anything to do with it.

But, to address your point, historically Cal is a much better team than USCe and it's not even close.

Heading to Nashville at lunch tomorrow as away supporter. Stadium could be 60-40. Everybody I know is going and there are plenty of seats because nobody bought Vandy tix this year since they play Tennessee in Knoxville.

You're absolutely right. Historically.

Luckily, I'm only worried about the upcoming season :p

(dudes I KNOW that scar historically sucks. I know that southern cal is the "real" USC, and NORTH Carolina is generally accepted as "Carolina." This is fuel for our fire, but I'm aware of these things. Just trying to have fun)

Why are we even discussing Cal? Cornballer is the only Cal fan that posts here and I don't think he was involved in this discussion.

Now that the dust is settled, I can make my season predictions for A&M:

8/31 - Rice (W): Will Johnny play more than a quarter?

9/7 - SH St. (W): Will A&M put up more than 60?

9/14 - Bama (L): Gonna be honest here, I don't think Saban makes the same mistakes and abandons the running game. I also don't think we'll jump out to a 20-0 lead in Q1.

9/21 - SMU (W): You know what, we run the table from here on out.


11-1 season record, BCS berth if we're the #2 SEC team. Georgia/USCe may snipe that spot.

So, I just finished talking to someone who should know, and he's got me 99.99% convinced that Texas Tech will be starting true-freshman walk-on QB Baker Mayfield in the season opener vs. SMU this Friday.

I couldn't believe it was actually happening...but now I do.
