Whoa dude, where did this come from?

All I was saying is that fans actively shooting, stabbing, beating, and maiming each other is too far.
Edit: Take your rage that A&M is leaving you behind for a better conference out on Okie State or something.

Yes the beating and maiming of opposing fans is absolutely disgusting.
 
Saw an espn radio guy at a bar in Ann Arbor. Apparently Uofm and Minnesota are bolting to the Big East after the game this weekend.

Nah. You want to play a shitty Texas team this year and beat 'em, then not play them ever again, and just keep holding it over them.

Yeah, that plan worked out so well for Nebraska last year!
 
And now we know why Willie Mack Garza quit:

An assistant coach during Lane Kiffin’s tenure at the University of Tennessee wired $1,500 to a talent scout in July 2009, funding the airfare for an unofficial recruiting trip by then five-star prospect Lache Seastrunk and his mother, Yahoo! Sports has learned.

In an apparent NCAA violation, then-Volunteers secondary coach Willie Mack Garza sent the money to one-time scout Will Lyles, who had paid for plane tickets for Seastrunk and his mother Evelyn. Garza, who joined Kiffin’s staff at USC in 2010, stepped down from his position with the Trojans in September citing “some personal issues unrelated to USC that I need to address.” His resignation came shortly after Lyles informed NCAA investigators in August of the transaction. Lyles said NCAA investigators were conducting a wide-ranging look into Tennessee recruiting practices.

Had they not before?
 
I really don't see how this is just now coming out. They investigates the program almost for 6 months. Dooley has even come out saying some of the records for recruiting budget didn't make sense and turned it into the NCAA during said investigation. Makes you wonder what the NCAA did during the last investigation. Oh that's right we were on the right side of their selective enforcement policy.

Eventually the NCAA is going to have to punish Kiffin for this shit.

Question: are you guys currently on probation because of the whole Pearl/Kiffin shit already?

Yeah started this summer.

There's no way anything will come of that.

Might just depends on how the coin lands this time. But at least it isn't a violation of the probation.
 
All this for a third-string running back.

Edit: I see EA still has a hard on for USC. Fucking Woods and Tyler break 4-5 tackles every time they touch the goddamn ball despite the fact that they're 4-5 on the year. Such bullshit. I guess those two are better than anyone on Oregon/Stanford/Nebraska since I never had to deal with this bullshit against those teams.
 
Lyles said he worked with the Seastrunks and Garza to find an agreeable date. He bought the tickets through Expedia, charging $1,446.80 to his Visa debit card. He said the price was high because it was a last-minute fare, due to uncertainty over the travel availability of the Seastrunks. The tickets were purchased June 19 for a June 20 departure.

After the visit, Lyles said Garza called to discuss reimbursement.

“Coach Garza said, ‘How do you want me to give the money to you,’” Lyles said. “I said, ‘You can send it Western Union or MoneyGram.’ … I had already come out of my pocket for over $1,400 for plane tickets.”

On July 5, his money came in. The MoneyGram was sent from a location in Lancaster, Texas, a Dallas suburb. Lyles said he didn’t know why it came from Lancaster. Garza is a native Texan who played at the University of Texas from 1988-92 and as a coach has actively recruited the state for years.

Lyles acknowledged he kept the remaining $53.20.

Wow, I'm surprised at how I'm still doing alright in the pick'em. Down by like 10 in total points, but I had a bad first week and this week went horribly, so I figured I would have plummeted since one had already been dropped.

Was that a fluctuation between a TD or a FG margin of victory at the last second? Or you just wanted to make a statement rather than take a chance on getting a bonus point?

Talking to Jazz? Not an error, he believes Alabama will win by 73 points.

I'm inclined to agree with him.

I meant to type 73 as well, but typoed into 7-3, which of course is 4.

There are locks, there are locks of the week, and then there is the Bama over Florida lock. Its like a lock made of diamond.

Gimli tried to destroy this lock with his axe, and his axe shattered.
 
We shall see. As we discussed at some length in last week's thread, I'm not sold on Bama yet. I think it is possible we keep the game close. I have a feeling that our inclination to turn the ball over a turn might break the game open, however, along with our lack of forcing turnovers. Our secondary is mediocre, but at least its not running up against a particular strength of Bama.
I'm calling three interceptions on Brantley being the deciding factor in the game, but still within 10 points. Pick'em will reflect differently, of course.

That's actually kinda the image they want to project. And rather disturbingly so.
