Won 2 Championships without her.

Apparently, the one we might have to vacate, is the one that kickstarted her fame.

Result: Ya'll fricked, America, BAMA Gonna Roll to More Championships, and this time, they're for real.

Probably discussed, but it most likely was buried under last night's game talk.

So one of the BYU linebackers is suspended for an Honor Code violation. Apparently he went down to Vegas last weekend. While down there, a University of Utah fan took pictures of him, and reported it to the U of U when he got back. The U of U then asked him for more proof so that they could notify the NCAA in case of possible violations. They then sent the emails along to BYU.

So essentially the U of U snitched. After the NCAA said that there was nothing to investigate, they told BYU. BYU suspended the player.

Snitches.

Clemson's defensive line looks better than expected so far this season.

It really didn't come across that way on the broadcast. Good to know that call got the reaction it deserved, at least.

Hey, I didn't believe it was really a thing when I first moved up to the Triangle, but then you see something like that call/fumble/touchdown sequence and start to wonder...

Reminds me of the old "chicken curse" thing that is totally dead and buried and not coming back nope nope nope.

Wait, I just can't imagine Utah going to the NCAA FIRST over the casino incident. There's no policy against players gambling ( Unless they are sports betting ). The only violation would be within the BYU's honor code to begin with.

Didn't JFF hit up a few casino's this summer? No one even hinted at reporting that to the NCAA.

Hah, just found out more. I guess the pics are from August, but being the pieces of crap that they are, they held onto the pics until rivalry week.

Plotting snitches.

The reason they tried sending them to the NCAA is that there's supposedly a booster in the picture.

William Leitch, recently relocated to Athens, has an article up on his first experiences with tailgating there. Continued at the link.

My new friend Scott, a veteran of Georgia football tailgates, had one piece of advice for me heading into my first tailgate in Athens two weeks ago: "Avoid the brown liquids." It was a hot football Saturday, with a 4:30 pm ET start, and it would be important to pace one's self. The key was color. The key was clarity.

Clear, thus acceptable, liquids: Water. Light beer. Vodka. Gin.

Brown, thus unacceptable, liquids: Coffee. Soda. Whiskey. Bourbon. Scotch. Chocolate milk, presumably.

It took me roughly 34 seconds to break with Scott's advice.

I survived my first SEC tailgate a fortnight ago, a rousing all-day affair that culminated in a 41-30 Bulldogs victory over South Carolina, and from what I remember, it was really fun. Tomorrow, I'll be back out there again for the game against North Texas, this time with an earlier start, an easier game and a better understanding of what I'm in for.

Hence, my long-delayed, hard-earned observations and lessons learned from my first day at an all-day SEC football tailgate.

1. If you're awake, the tailgate has already started. I usually run on Saturday mornings, so at 6:30 on gameday, I took a long lap around campus. When I passed Stegeman Coliseum, where the Georgia basketball team plays, at roughly 6:45, almost every tailgate was already set up. One group of guys were already swigging from their flask. Watching someone drink scotch at 6:45 in the morning when you're on a morning run does a number on your stomach.

I'm rooting for BYU this weekend.

I'm also the leader of the "Get BYU In the Big 12" Bandwagon.

Should be interesting to see if an investigation starts up. He says he took it for food. We've talked about paying athletes and whatever, but isn't their food normally paid for? If it's not, that's messed up.

One of my brother's friends actually made the U of U roster as a RB back in the late '90s but he ended up having to quit because he didn't have enough money for rent and food without working, and football takes too much time up for the players to hold a job.

:lol Saban's suspending TJ Yeldon for a quarter against Colorado State, for the throat slash.

Compare that to autograph-gate, if you will.

So Foster is admitting to getting paid in college now. How long till we find out it was from bookies and he was throwing games? Dudes ability to fumble and cost us games was pretty remarkable.

Now that you mention it...

It's always puzzled me how "good" he apparently is in the NFL, when he'll always be that Overhyped Dud RB from Tennessee to me.

It's better to be a college bust than a bust in the pro's. Garrett Gilbert is going to use Arian Foster's story and this approach when talking to NFL scouts next year.

You aren't alone. His senior year he didn't do shit with a really good OLine. I think Anige got sacked like 3 times all year. I was 100% conviced when he had a clear TD in the SEC championship game and let someone catch up to him from 20 yards back.

Might have been because I was in the student section, but yeah, we were going nuts. Can't speak for everyone obviously.

There were boos almost the entire rest of the quarter after that.

From a Gil Brandt article on NFL.com, a section about college players who've impressed him -

Gil Brandt said:
TE Jace Amaro, Texas Tech: The Red Raiders have a new pass-first, run-second offense under coach Kliff Kingsbury, and Amaro has thrived, with 20 catches and a touchdown in three games. At 6-5, 260 pounds, he is a nightmare matchup because of his size and athleticism and looks to have a big year in this new system.

Having a pass first, run second system is a new thing in Lubbock?

Fully story is out about Utah snitches.

When I first heard the story about how he was photographed in Vegas I figured somebody surreptitiously snuck a picture of him at a slot machine or something.

I understand the whole "be angry at Utah snitches" angle, I do (particularly the whole timing part of it all), but if you're a BYU player that is posing for a pictures at night clubs/strip clubs with a bottle of alcohol in front of massive letters spelling out your name, aren't you kind of asking for it?
