Did this ever get posted?
Did Michigan State player try to pull an eye gouge move? Ohio State sends video to Big Ten for review

Yeah I posted the video right after the game ended but think it got glanced over. Sparty has always been pretty dirty, especially gholston.

One of the things I enjoy about these college football venues is the size of them. I cannot fathom how a uni can afford such things.
Here is my old uni's grandstand:
it's small but beautiful, over 100years old. the oval is awesome as well.
You have to bear in mind that we don't really do intercollegiate sport in australia, and no way would tv cover it.
There are about 20,000 students at the uni of Adelaide.

Most of the Huge stadiums are 80-90 years old. They usually started off "smaller" 50-60k, but then through expansions and rennovations over 80 years they have grown to the 90-100k size stadiums now.
edit: on another point, what sport do they play there? That ground is not level at all lol.

Looks like a mid-sized MAC stadium to me.

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
chicko: Pretty much one of the reasons Jesse Williams came to the US to play collegiate football. He was on the Australian National Team of American Football prior to the move. He played Junior College Football in Arizona, then transferred to Alabama.

Holy crap.
I feel this compelling need to lie down and hand him a football.
Also, I like what American Football is called there, "gridiron."

Ah, article I was looking at was only referring to one retailer's sales. That makes more sense.

You gotta have the bandwagon rolling steady for a while to make an impact on the other standings.
Looks like some aggressive hand to face play from the OSU player as well. But eye gouging crosses a line, unless there is somebody on top of you and nobody can see it.

To be fair, even without the bandwagon factor, FSU is still a pretty big cash cow in terms of brand. We have had the highest TV ratings of all the non-BCS bowls two years in a row (vs ND last year, and WVU the year before). FSU always does very well in TV ratings, probably because we rose to major prominence in the 90s, when it started to get really easy to watch a lot of CFB on TV. The downside is that our fans do NOT travel well outside the state, preferring to watch the games on TV instead. I think we even probably send more fans to away games in Miami (8 hours away) than we do to Atlanta (5 hours away).
Technically, gridiron is the correct term for our football. Association (SOCCER is a mashup of the word) Football is what most refer to as football around the world. But the term football doesn't have anything to do with kicking it with your foot. The term arose as it was used to indicate that the sport was played on foot, not on horseback.
I have a good idea, ChiTown. You should make a thread for the soccer fans telling them that we have more claim to the term of football than them. Soccer should be renamed to aggressive diving.

It's dirty, but this shit happens all the time in the pile.
I played against a team and every time you were in the pile they would drive knuckles into into your ribs and just drill you until you got separated. They drew a couple of flags when we'd stand up and retaliate. The day after the game, I had quarter sized bruises all over my torso.

To be clear, I wasn't bitching about it or anything.
I just think it's funny how the MSU/OSU matchup has really heated up in the past year. Complaining on both sides, most of it probably unjustified.

There used to be a high school that sharpened the edges of the metal buckles on their gear.

Our high school Oline coach always taught the linemen to jab their thumbs underneath the pads and into the defenders ribcage on blocks.
I hated practicing against our oline.

Sounds like a good way to break some thumbs.

Florida teams are tucking the bottom of the jersey into their pads. Used to be just spring game, now it is happening during regular season with a few.
That is state of, not just team of.
That's exactly what the other team did to us in the pile, but with their knuckles.
I guess BYU is the next school on the "all black uniforms though black isn't even one of our colors" bandwagon.

Georgia, Texas Tech, BYU. Where does it end?

I think it was Jeff that posted them already.
But are they actually black or grey? I thought they were grey. Not that it makes it a team color either way.

Black and white are everyones colors. Don't be racist.

Hmm, ACC shortening their in conference schedule from 9 to 8 to accomodate the Irish.
*sigh* I want to make a joke about the BYU uni's.

Random BYU question: What drinks do they sell at the concession stands?
Bottled water and nothing but bottled water?

Caffeine-free versions of stuff like Coke would be fine, I would think. Sprite and 7-Up don't have caffeine either.
Semi-related: I am so disappointed that our game against BYU is in DC instead of Morgantown. The culture clash would be so awesome to watch.

Caffeine free Coke and Sprite? Unless they're one of those dirty Pepsi campuses.

Strong was on Rome today and Rome straight us asked him if he would take a call from Arkansas. Strong shot it down about as hard as someone could, basically said "a lot of people think the grass is greener but I'm not cut that way, why would I want to go somewhere when I'm building a program with all the guys I'm recruiting?"
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
What's wrong with caffeine?
And again about 30 for 30 about SMU, weren't there people speculating about Penn State getting the death penalty? Because from that documentary it sounds like that's a name for a repeat violators rule, which probably wouldn't have been applicable for Penn State?
I really don't know shit about College football...

Wait till January until you say hell yeah. A lot of coaches said they wouldn't cut bait and leave until they did.
BYU is a Mormon school, and Mormons aren't supposed to drink caffeine.
A) The NCAA is very wary of giving anyone the death penalty. They used it as a negotiating tool to get Penn State to agree to their current punishment.
B) SMU was busted for major violations 3 times in the 80s. I think they had like, 2 maybe 3 total years of eligibility during the entire decade.

What do you expect him to say? yeah im going first chance I can get? Coaches arent dummies.
I think it started yesterday. I was just looking at random older episodes and landed at SMU.

Death penalty can be used even for first time offenders if the violation is egregious enough.
But the NCAA has a new rule structure in place and I don't know if it includes the death penalty moving forward at all.
