Just one year ago today, the greatest REAL April Fools Day Prank happened.
Arkansas's making this a habit (nevermind that this didn't happen today, but no one mentioned it so boom, April Fool's Day)

I like this guy. Someone needs to introduce him to Spurrier. He's definitely got the shit talking down.
Seems that UGA is changing things up quite a bit on defense this year. For starters, our nose tackle spot is locked up (for the time being) by 6'1: 289 lb Mike Thornton. His backup is 6'4" 315lb Chris Mayes. Quite a departure from the over 350 lb guys we had last year. He is apparently really quick and with a really low center of gravity he's doing quite well for himself. They moved 330 lb John Taylor out to end, but it may only be temporary so he can learn the position. I'm guessing they're looking for more speed overall, which is what all the players keep saying.. Much faster defense.
Tray Matthews has apparently locked up one of the safety spots. He's a true freshman but the kid has so much talent and is already built for the SEC. Apparently he knocked out Justin Scott-Wesley the other day at practice. Supposedly already drawing rave reviews, much like Gurley was last year at this time.

At the same time, though the Big XII probably knows if they were to ever extend an invite to UL in the future, UL would likely accept.

Not now, hell no. That ship has sailed. ACC is the perfect geographical conference.
Teddy's legit (still bummed about that ville/rutgers game ... Teddy was a cripple that game and they let him pick him apart instead of being blitz happy like they are every other game), and they actually have a defense unlike WVU.
Everybody's defense looks worse in the Big 12. No way they would have finished above third in last year's Big 12.
There aren't enough lol emoticons in the world to properly respond.

We're a basketball school first and foremost, Big XII is horrible in that area.

This year the Big 12 was 5th in RPI. One of our worst rankings in years. The past 3 years we were 4th, 4th, and 1st respectively.

UGA tweaked some things today in their football, basketball and track uniforms to make the logos, colors and fonts more consistent. Guess it was all done in partnership with Nike. I don't see that anybody has done comparisons yet, and I can't figure out how to rehost the images of the jerseys or even link to them yet aside from a crappy photo below. The G logo is unchanged, to my eye. Maybe it's a slightly different color red? Doesn't seem like it. The bulldog logo is changed, and I guess it probably works better for graphics being that both sides are identical, but I preferred the older one. It's been the same forever, and I'm old fashioned, didn't see a need to change it. I guess this does look more modern, meh. The fonts on the lettering are less blocky, which I'm not sure if I like yet. I didn't see a reason to mess with it.
Though it does look like they're keeping the old Bulldog as an "additional athletic mark." I guess they won't be using it, but it's still copyrighted or something.
Finding it hard not to get hyped for Tray Matthews. Richt is usually pretty reserved in praising any true freshmen, because it's still only just practices and scrimmages, but he was pretty glowing in his praise today. Said "It's been impressive. I'm not going to sit here and say it's anything but impressive." That is very un-dude.

Draxal - don't go Penn State on us.
There is no defense for Rice gate.

What's college basketball? Only reason people defended Paterno was that he's a legend, Mike Rice is Mike Rice.
Maybe he's talking about the part where they join a real conference and miss making a bowl game for the first time in forever after struggling to make one their first year.
"Three national championships in four years? Pffft. I'm going to do it in two."
Lets just say, that the last 3 seasons are the best 3 season period that Wisconsin has ever had. 3 Conference titles in a row, 3 Rose Bowl appearances (2 losses by Beielieliima and 1 by Alvarez). 11-2, 11-3, and...8-6. Best Wisconsin Period Ever, or at least since the 1890's.
Wonder how the same 3 year period Saban had at Alabama went...
Face it, back in the 90's, Mich State had to go up against Michigan when they were really good, tOSU, ND when they were good, and I think that was before Penn State started their decline (though who knows, their record books have been set on fire, with no showers to put them out...), while Wisconsin 2010-2012 had tOSU and. And. And I'm drawing a blank.

Wisconsin didn't have tOSU in 2012.
No one in their right mind would think a coach would go from winning 10 games a year in Division III to winning 10 games a year in the SEC.
Shots fired by the Vandy fan!
They played in 2012. Wisconsin lost in overtime.
Yeah, when I meant no tOSU, was that tOSU was post season ineligibile and couldn't represent in the post season (and I forgot PSU as well).

I'm just trying to do better Rutgers PR here than Tim Pernetti.
He should have fired Rice. Now Rice, President Barchi, and Tim Pernetti are on the chopping block.
Major slip up by him. Big time slip up.
Barchi's not on the chopping block, Pernetti is but I think he scrapes by, but Rice is gone. Murdoch's going to get paid.
Rutgers was fucked either way, sucks to be poor.

Murdock isn't getting paid. He only went public because he wasn't getting paid, and this doesn't help his case.
A. He wasn't fired.
B. He wasn't removed because he threatened to whistle blow. He only blew the whistle after he left to get some cash.
If the university pays him, that's just stacking bad policy on top of bad policy.
As for the above three, you are forgetting about Clementi. Don't forget about Clementi. This creates a bad narrative for the university. Interest groups are going to be gunning hard for the school. They would not be wrong to do so, even though I feel that Rutgers is very hospitable towards LGBT students and was very hospitable towards them when I was on the banks a decade+ ago. That's because the narrative now exists. The school must now reverse it AGAIN. An overreaction is better than an underreaction. Barchi must certainly be on the chopping block along with the other two. If Pernetti fired Rice this incident would have passed over. He didn't fire Rice, and now even Lebron James is clowning RU.

There's two competing things here respect and money. I think $$$ wins out. If Rice gets fired, Murdoch's law suit gets more merit and he's going to get paid. It's going to happen.
If this was any other school besides Maryland this would not be an issue, and we would have fired Rice in December.

$$$ don't matter at this point. The state will pay at this juncture just to make sure the nuclear fallout doesn't affect more important things like the med school merger.
The fact that this is now news is everywhere is not good. It can color people's perceptions on Rutgers on everything. It's not a Sandusky level incident at all. However, through inaction, Rutgers makes this a bigger story.
There is no lawsuit filed by Murdock. That's not a concern even if there was a lawsuit. It doesn't matter. The $$$ amounts given to Murdock will be miniscule compared to the $$$ amounts lost by letting this fester.

About 10 years ago I tried teaching tennis to my sister, but got really frustrated and impatient with her incompetence so I started smashing tennis balls at her. I didn't realize this coaching technique would be encouraged at Rutgers. Is there an opening for a tennis coach at Rutgers?

More articles like that will be coming out Draxal.
I would think Rice is most certainly gone. Pernetti might be next...
I would put the odds on Pernetti being gone at about 70%.
Edit: As to why I'm not posting this on the NCAA b-ball thread. This is Rutgers. No one cares about basketball at Rutgers. The only thing important about this story is any potential impact it will have on football.
