Seven Earth-sized planets have been discovered orbiting a distant star.
Next spring, Michigan is going to try to practice on one of them.
Apparently we have hired Baylor co-OC Matt Lubick as WR coach. Don't know anything about him, but apparently he was a coach at Oregon at some point in the past as well?
It's true.
*self imposedOne year bowl ban for Ole Miss #Pray4chicko
Yeah, we'll see if that satisfies the NCAA.*self imposed
Who wants us to do a 5 minute podcast of us laughing at Ole Miss?
So they got another LOIC notice?
Correct. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/at-long-last-ole-miss-changes-defiant-tune-and-at-least-partially-admits-wrong-023147276.htmlThis Bruce Feldman article on it is really good.I think a failure to monitor charge got updated to full on LOIC. They didn't have that on the earlier announcement of charges last year.
Thats 21 alleged violations. By a school that spent years insisting it was simply outworking and out-charming everyone on the recruiting trail.
In the process of acknowledging the new allegations, Ole Miss announced a postseason ban for the 2017 season and the forfeiture of nearly $8 million in postseason revenue.
And with that, it was time to own a few things:
The rival SEC schools werent making it all up. The national media wasnt making it all up. The world wasnt simply out to get Mississippi, out to keep a striver program down, out to protect the established powers of the sport.
No, Ole Miss was cheating.
Multiple boosters and at least one football staff member broke NCAA rules.
And they got caught.
Ole Miss admitted it Wednesday. The school agreed fully with three of the new NCAA allegations, agreed with at least part of a fourth allegation, and stated that it will contest four more. This was all part of a somber, 20-minute video Mississippi produced to break the news, featuring chancellor Jeff Vitter, athletic director Ross Bjork and football coach Hugh Freeze.
The minute that 2013 class was signed with star recruits Robert Nkemdiche, Laquon Treadwell and Laremy Tunsil, Ole Miss knew the whispers of impropriety were never going to stop. Skepticism from rival coaching staffs and close scrutiny from the NCAA was a given. Meanwhile, Ole Miss and Freeze very carefully cultivated media allies to help build the narrative there was nothing to hide.
Ole Miss fans are really mad. They're tweeting Missississssippi State players and wishing them well.Last year before signing day, Ole Miss leaked to several media members that the allegations werent serious, mostly not football. https://t.co/EVWyRGcHuj

One year bowl ban for Ole Miss #Pray4chicko
Wish I was around in the 80s to see this happen to Miami.This ole miss stuff couldn't have happened to a more deserving fan base/coaching staff.
I may have edited that last bit.Video of the ”motivational" speech was published on the Tampa Bay Times website. ”All my young boys, stand up. The ladies, sit down," he began, off to a rip-roaring start. ”But all my boys, stand up. We strong, right? We strong! We strong, right? All my boys, tell me one time: I can do anything I put my mind to. Now, a lot of boys aren't supposed to be soft-spoken. You know what I'm saying? One day y'all are going to have a very deep voice like this. One day, you'll have a very, very deep voice."
He then went on to add that the ”ladies, they're supposed to be silent, polite, gentle and not go to the fuckin' cops just because you try to stick your dick in them while they're saying 'no'."
Are you bama guys jealous of all these SICK graphixxxxx

So that's where Trump got this from.So Willie Taggart isn't talking to The Oregonian's Nike U beat writer because he reported on the whole practices-sending-kids-to-the-hospital thing.
After five months of matches and up to 2o hours of training a week, the UC Berkeley Overwatch team recently won first place at the Tespa Collegiate Series.
For those unversed in gamer speak, Overwatch is a first-person, objective-based shooting game. It belongs to an emerging genre of competitive gaming called eSports (short for electronic sports).
The team of six UC Berkeley students had been competing in the ongoing Tespa tournament nearly every weekend since October. At UC San Diego on Feb. 19, they beat out Rutgers University and the University of Toronto in the final round to claim victory – and $42,000 in scholarships.
"At first we were just playing for fun," said Geoffrey Cao, a member of the Cal Overwatch team. "But then we kept winning and winning. That was when decided to take this seriously."
The world of electronic sports (eSports) is growing at a rapid rate. Here are some things to expect in 2017: More eSports on National TV Overwatch League More connection between eSports and real sports A big push for fighting games eSports revenue will hit $1 billion
Cao says he and his teammates practice collectively for four to eight hours a week, depending on midterms and assignments.
"They don't practice in-person though," explained team co-coordinator Tiffany Tsay. "They use microphones to converse in the game."
Tsay added that she tries to make them "go out once a month" with one another.

Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield was arrested early Saturday morning in Arkansas.
He was charged with public intoxication, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and fleeing, according to the Washington County (Arkansas) sheriff's office.
According to the preliminary police report obtained by ESPN.com, a police officer was flagged down to take an assault and battery report at about 2:29 a.m. Saturday. The person who flagged the officer was yelling at Mayfield, who told the officer he had been trying to break up an altercation. The officer asked Mayfield to stay so that he could take his statement, at which point Mayfield began "yelling profanities and causing a scene," according to the report.
The report stated Mayfield had slurred speech, had difficulty walking down stairs and was covered in food on the front of his clothing. According to the report, when the officer asked Mayfield to come over, he began to walk away. When the officer told him to stop, Mayfield sprinted away, which forced the officer to chase him and tackle him to the ground.
The report stated that Mayfield would not place his arms behind his back, despite repeated orders from the officer to do so. Eventually, the office placed him in handcuffs and took him to the Washington County Detention Facility.

To get to his office during his three-year tenure at Alabama, Lane Kiffin had to walk by a framed picture of Terrence Codys game-saving field goal block to beat Kiffins 2009 Tennessee team. It became a daily reminder of not just a heartbreaking moment but also a time when the SEC was clearly the nations most dominant conference.

A group of Democratic state representatives on Monday called for financial sanctions and a criminal investigation into how Baylor University handled widespread allegations of rape against football players and other students in recent years.
"What has happened at Baylor is so far different than any university in the state," said Rep. Roland Gutierrez, D-San Antonio. "We can't stop bad things from happening, but we sure as hell can demand accountability and we sure as hell can demand that people protect our children."
Gutierrez wrote a letter to Abbott asking for a "sizable reduction" in the $10 million in grants that the state sends Baylor "until a thorough investigation is completed, full accountability is realized and concrete measures are in place to make certain that nothing like this ever happens again at Baylor."
...
Gutierrez also filed a resolution on Friday that would ask Gov. Greg Abbott to request a Texas Rangers investigation into whether the school obstructed justice when responding to reports of rapes by students.
