don't check out Franco Harris's Facebook page... you might puke.  Even though LA Bikermama seems to be a really interesting guy, lol.  But seriously, the people who are standing with that POS Joe Paterno can get FUCKED.  Seriously, it's vomit inducing thinking of all these ass clowns who can't put football aside and think about all the LIVES that were ruined because of the actions of Penn State.  

 

Harris said, “A grave injustice has occurred over these past two weeks that began with the issuance of the Freeh report,” 

 

Yeah, and you know what, a grave injustice went on for decades, as Penn State covered up and enabled a fucking monster to rape CHILDREN!

Wow, right after being named a 2nd team pre-season AA, FSU dumps Greg Reid.  Too many issues.  Jimbo warns 'em--you keep getting into trouble, you're gone, no matter if you're a 2-3 year starter or a first year guy.

Interesting question. That's something I have to ponder - though I'm not saying "no sports at universities EVER!" more along the lines of universities won't be directly involved in funding or administrating sports; club programs and such would still be just fine - after all, most universities did just swell before the advent of big-time sports about 100 yrs ago, and the Ivy League schools seem to be OK with a negligible sports profile.

Here's a shocker...are you sitting down?  Steve Spurrier has suspended another QB for an alcohol-related arrest.  No, this isn't Stephen Garcia, it's the 4th stringer McEvoy.  I can see Spurrier now breaking it to him, "...it's my fault, it's my fault.  I recruited you."

I would think nil.  With the sanctions and the players leaving it's going to be a long time before they get a top 25 ranking again.

Seriously, does that shock anyone?  No matter how much of a superstar you are, you are not bigger than the program.  If I was an FCS school, I would be on the phone scrambling to get him, Greg Reid and Ray Ray Armstrong from UM at my school right now.  There's your secondary for the year.

Honestly, it does shock me.  He was the most nationally prolific player on the team and in the football psychotic region of the SEC, rotten behavior of any kind is mostly overlooked if a player can win you a championship.  I'd like to believe that Miles was taking a moral stand but I doubt it; Les probably felt disrespected by Mathieu's unapologetic assholery and decided to give him the boot.

Guess who's profiled in the upcoming college preview issue of ESPN The Magazine!

 

http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8240140/lsu-db-tyrann-mathieu-well-known-phenom-limits-media-espn-magazine

Quote:

THIS IS PROOF that the LSU Tigers are afraid of Tyrann Mathieu: You won't read a single quote from Mathieu in this story. Over the course of several months -- through countless emails, calls and letters, one stealth visit to Baton Rouge and one offer to buy coach Les Miles a pizza to plead our case -- The Mag attempted to persuade the Tigers to let us talk to Mathieu. Each request was politely declined.

 

That was not all. LSU, we also learned, would not be conducting a Heisman campaign for Mathieu this fall. A kid sits in the front row of the Heisman ceremony as a sophomore, returns for the following season, and the school buries him? That may be a first. When Miles left Mathieu home for SEC Media Days in July, he brushed off questions about the decision with a joke. "If we brought Tyrann," he told the assembled media, "no one else would have any time to talk."

 

Later, one-on-one, when asked why it was that LSU was attempting to limit Mathieu's media exposure, Miles didn't mention the incident in the middle of the 2011 season when LSU suspended Mathieu for its game against Auburn after he reportedly tested positive for synthetic marijuana. Or how the same week Mathieu was named a Heisman finalist, MediaTakeOut.com posted naked pictures of a man they claimed was Mathieu -- which Mathieu all but confirmed. Instead, Miles answered the riddle with a riddle of his own.

 

"Ty is a wonderfully good-hearted man. He wants to please his team, please the coaches, please the press, please the people in the state. He wants to please everybody. And many times, you can't. You can't be everything to everyone. You have to realize what's important. Many times, what's important is realizing you can't please somebody who really wants you to be something you can't be."

NC State is a weird team under O'Brien--they look absolutely incredible in some games, and then like absolute shit in others.  They had a shaky first half of the season and then won 4 of their last 5 games, including knocking off Clemson and winning their bowl game.  They tend to finish strong, but struggle early.  So UT may have a shot.

Yeah, Rogers and Tyrann Mathieu both seem to have blown it. Andy Staples of SI made a great (if painfully cynical) point about the Rogers situation: If they finally kicked Rogers off the team, it's a sign that Tennessee is finally starting to get some talented depth on their roster.

I read that the line for NCSU now is +6 over UT.

 

That Clemson/Auburn game will be interesting--Clemson will be coming off their ass-whipping in their BCS bowl appearance, with a pretty mediocre to awful OL, and Auburn has a fantastic DLine and depth (as do most SEC teams).  Plus Sammy Watkins is suspended for the first two games.  Tahj Boyd may be running for his life this game.  If Auburn can keep it close, they may have a shot at winning, but they've GOT to muster some kind of offense.

Will Muschamp is taking a page out of the ol' ball coach's playbook and is going to rotate QBs based on quarters this year.

 

Yeah, because that has worked out every single time it's been done in the history of football.

A $4 million deficit, and $37 million in salaries. I wonder how much their losses are directly tied in with having a 100,000 seat stadium that's only been about 3/4 full the past few years.

If it's anything like that UF/AU game last year, just shoot me.  I for some reason watched that entire game and then wanted those hours of my life back.  What was that final?  Like 14-6?  But it was 7-6 going into the 4th quarter I believe.

 

FSU's games late in the year got to be that way when all the OL started getting hurt.  I was at the UVA game when FSU lost 14-13.  Jesus that game was awful.  And the Notre Dame game wasn't much better.

Northwestern/Syracuse, Ohio St/Miami(OH), WV v Marshall are much better games for the main branch of ESPN.  Just glad I found Northwestern is on ESPN2.  Thought I was gonna be forced to watch the Illini.

 

Where is the ND/Navy game?  nevermind.

Not rooting for Penn State, and don't buy them as a scrappy underdog.  However, they cleared out the trash, and got punished to send a message... I don't see any point to rooting against them any more than I normally would.

 

Disgusting piece on Game Day about Urban Meyer's "contract" with his family... scored to emotional music naturally.  Hey, here's a thought: you don't get brownie points for not being an absentee father.  If you wanna coach 24-7 and ruin your health, don't have a family that relies on you.  If you have a family that relies on you, do what you're supposed to do and put them first.  The idea that we're supposed to see some great conflict and potential tragedy in a guy making tens of millions of dollars to coach student athletes playing a game is absurd.  Either embrace your inner douche like Nick Saban, or don't.  Nobody is going to feel sorry for you if you only win 7 games a year.  Don't give me crap about "God's plan."

I root against Penn State fans.  They are the disgusting people.  They don't get that their worshiping of Paterno had a small part in the cover up. 

 

I feel a bit bad for the current players because they didn't sign up for this.  Sure some could transfer but many couldn't.
