By the way, it looks like we are on our way to another championship
and the scholarships now formerly held by Eddie Williams, Dennis Pettway, Tyler Hayes, and Brent Calloway will be put to alternative use.
of the "Fulmer" variety
Came here to post this. Looks like the scholarship problem there got a little easier to deal with.
Well, crap. Morons.

Domer being domer
That right there must be the gooder education you got at Notre Dame, right?
After Bama forced us to give our OL coach a raise....

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
Well, looks like Bama is gonna cruise by USC for early Fulmer dominance.
More national attention on OSU from both from media and future recruits.
It sounds bad, but its seriousness (and, more importantly, how the DA deals with them) will depend upon what they actually did. Here's the Alabama law:
As a matter of explanation, the force described in 13A-8-43 doesn't mean you physically attacked or battered them. An example of this would be that a person who grabs a purse from off a woman's shoulder or out of her hands has committed 3rd degree robbery in Alabama, while a person who picks a purse off the floor that the woman has dropped or has placed there, has committed the lesser offense of theft.
Robbery is serious, but at least there was no weapon involved. That's BIG BOY crime, just ask Auburn. Still, if guilty, they most likely will, and should, be gone. If I were to take a guess, I would assume that Eddie William's gun charge came when the police first questioned them about this and not in a separate event.

Im seeing Urbz next Thursday, Ill ask him and report back.
So in 2014, is it going to be 9 0r 10 conference games for the Big 10?
I have a feeling it's going to be 10. Every team pretty much loses an extra home game, but with contract renogations/ more neutral site games coming up and fans crying playing about not playing in the shoe or the big house enough, I think the money's there.
It was a rhetorical question, Andycapps pretty much stated the answer (and it's also why FSU is so mad about the ACC).

Too late! Im doing it now! Get your questions ready folks, It will be the neogaf Q and A session.
Can you ask him to stay out of NJ? I mean I know you guys are going to crush, but crushing us with you guys pretty have an all NJ secondary is going to be pretty demoralizing.
Not that it matters much in the grand scheme of thing, but, if true, it does, at least, take away some of the "how could anybody be so dumb as to get arrested the day after getting popped for having an unlicensed firearm" factor.
Apparently, Calloway wasn't involved in the robbery, but might have only used the stolen ACT cards (UA ID cards that have money attached to them for use in local restaurants and vending machines) in a vending machine in his dorm or, hopefully, just ate some of the ill-gotten gains. From what the other three have seemingly admitted to, they should all be gone. May be some hope for Calloway.
Well, none of them are the big name players, so they might not be entirely noticeable. Now, if they're wearing Alabama gear when doing it...
Got a mental image of them decked out at 2 AM wearing full pads and helmet, tackling people on the street :lol

Were you ever considering PSU or was that just desperation from some of the fansbase

What are Bucknuts?
Just forget that they're football players for a moment, these types of robberies are going to be investigated, and they'll probabably be caught. The dumb thing was taking those cards which would have been reported stolen and then they could track them when they were used. The level of idiocy here is still pretty high, even if they weren't big name players.
But let's face it, 3 big guys robbing you at night, you're going to assume they're athletes. Plus they were probably wearing the typical athlete sweatpants and hoodie Nike Bama swag. Those guys are pretty identifiable on campus.
Been a long, long time. Last big one since 2007/2008. Jimmy Johns and the Cocaine Wastelands.

Supposedly this is Oregon State's new logo:
Meh.
That beaver looks unusually wistful for a sports logo.
But who am I to talk? It's better than our new logo.

Everything must get the web2.0, vector graphics treatment, apparently.
I'm going to start asking people to straight up uninstall Fireworks and Illustrator.

I will never underestimate the stupidity of people again.
Unauthorized use of a credit card/debit card is second degree theft. Depending upon how the law treats the ACT card (i.e., is it viewed as a cc or dc?), it will either be second degree or third degree theft.
I'm not sure about the firearm charge but robbery of any degree is a felony.
I like the new Beaver logo. It's three colors (down from five), can be flipped to always face forward, loses the somewhat clumsy wordmark (just look at those Es), and looks like part of the same family as the recently-introduced interlocking OS logo.
The current one for comparison:
Those counterspaces. Gah!

Yes, it's a definite upgrade.
Hopefully they get rid of that hideous script as well.
It's inevitable that in 10-20 years lots of schools will return to their old school logos, then 10-20 years after that the cycle will repeat.
This one's just awesome.
I also miss OSU's old logo:
I'd love to see 1988 throwbacks at some point. 2013 is the 25 year anniversary of the greatest individual season in CFB history, get Nike on the phone!

I don't think Ohio State has ever truly had a fully cohesive athletics branding strategy. It's always been a mishmash.
Furthermore, I don't know why they crapped up the new athletics logo in-house. Let Nike take a horrible, hideous stab at it and then we can pare it down, a la Sparty.
