The PR of everyone being on the same page is never as important as the PR of leaking information that shows who made who cave.

University presidents seem to be pretty much interchangeable, and precious few seems to be worth a damn*. The amount of time I'd spend arguing with one that doesn't have the authority to get his way would require highly specialized equipment to measure.
*general observation, not specifically related to this case. |
Sounds like suspended 3 games according to espn
|
Surprised they suspended him for the TCU game. Figured it would be a 2 game suspension with that schedule.
|
THE three game suspension
|
It's like they're not even fucking trying. |
A TEN HOUR meeting to give him the slap on the wrist that everyone knew was coming?

The guy who murdered Molly Tibbetts claims to not remember what happened between the time he approached her and he dumped her. His attorney should try to get his case heard by the OSU BoT.

And he's your College Football Head Coach? I think you may need that concentration and focus stuff at times during the season. |
Don't worry, in addition to being used as a defense in this particular matter, that will also be used to lay the groundwork for his next "retirement."
|
A lot of people are mocking Meyer for this but he had a brain cyst removed a couple years ago and these are side effects from the cyst and meds he was required to be take.

You don't just forget that someone on your staff is beating his wife. Surely his wife gave him regular updates, whether he "remembers" that or not.

Is he a wife beater? He's definitely a moron but I'm trying to think of an alternative situation that doesn't involve assuming police conspiracy or that the wife is not as credible as you assume. I don't want to present a false dichotomy but is there another option? I don't disagree that Meyer was negligent keeping the moron on staff and deserved whatever punishment that he received as a result. |

How dare you even suggest that whatever claim someone (who isn't a white male) happens to make might even POSSIBLY be less than 200% true & accurate. He's male, therefore he MUST be guilty. You'll be next for the stakes & torches with that sort of thinking. |

I mean, sure. I'm all for the benefit of the doubt. But this is the same dude that, allegedly, covered up Hernandez murder investigations...but yeah. That's probably just coincidental . |
So as more info comes out about Maryland - the latest is that the old AD used AD money to hire lawyers for players to fight sexual misconduct charges - I believe that this will turn into a bigger, multi-sport investigation. I've been aware of numerous allegations against the softball program for a couple of years. Mostly anonymous, sure, but repeated and verified by a number of people with kids in the program, or having just left, or former players, etc.
The current coach is an absolute trainwreck who engages in bullying and mind games, resulting in multiple coaches and players leaving year after year. She has had a Florida retreat before the season where she brings her mom to body-shame kids and act like some sort of fitness guru, in the name of team bonding. Also, back in the summer of 2017, it came out that two players had TROs filed against them for bullying/stalking an athlete in another sport, and not only did those players remain on the team, but the coach made one of them a captain! Oh, and the team sucks, so it's not like she's sticking around because the team has performed well. The former and current ADs simply don't care and have dismissed multiple players'/parents' complaints and kept the course. As a result of the ESPN report about the current FB situation, many people reached out to the reporters about softball, and people are confirming that they have been contacted to give their stories to ESPN. So, it may be a small part of the story, but it looks like ESPN is developing a report about department-wide issues that have long been ignored. Fun times! |
The Big Ten is really embarrassing itself these days.

Wyoming plays New Mexico St. tonight!!!!!!
It's finally here!!!!!!!!!!! |
Very excited for the start of the JT era at USC.

What happened to good games on opening Thursday night?
|
Quote:
I think the attempt to create Labor Day weekend extravaganzas kinda killed that off. I mean, we now have a Sunday game AND a Monday game both with t25 pairings) 2016 had #10 ND vs unranked Texas on Sunday with a #4 vs #11 Monday. Back in 2015 the Sunday game was Purdue vs Marshall and Monday was #1 Ohio State vs an unranked Va Tech. You have to go back to 2014 to find a ranked pair on Thursday (#9 South Carolina vs #21 Texas A&M) ... the Monday night game that year was unranked Miami vs unranked Louisville |
That's how little I've been paying attention I guess. I'm not a fan of the Monday night games, especially since FSU seems to like them. I gotta be up at 5am on Tuesday morning. I have no interest in staying up past midnight for a college game.

I don’t think they were ever that good. But now instead of just having games on ESPN/2, now you’ve expanded to SEC Network, BTN, FS1 Using mattsarzsports.com as a reference here are the opening Thursday games by year. 2005 - Oregon vs Houston (E2), Vanderbilt at Wake Forest (EU), UCF at South Carolina (ESPN) and Minnesota at Tulsa (E2) 2006 - BC at Central Michigan, Northwestern at Miami (OH) and South Carolina at Mississippi State 2007 - Tulsa at UL-Monroe, LSU at Mississippi State and Utah at Oregon State 2008 - Vanderbilt at Miami (OH), NC State at South Carolina, Wake Forest at Baylor and Oregon State at Stanford 2009 - South Carolina at NC State, Oregon at Boise State 2010 - Southern Miss at South Carolina, Minnesota at MTSU, Pitt at Utah, USC at Hawaii 2011 - UNLV at Wisconsin, Mississippi State at Memphis, Kentucky vs Western Kentucky 2012 - South Carolina at Vanderbilt, UCLA at Rice, Washington State at BYU, Minnesota at UNLV 2013 - North Carolina at South Carolina, Utah State at Utah, Ole Miss at Vanderbilt, Rutgers at Fresno State 2014 - Texas A&M at South Carolina, Ole Miss vs Boise State, Temple at Vandy, Rutgers vs Washington State 2015 - North Carolina vs South Carolina, Oklahoma State at Central Michigan, Western Kentucy at Vanderbilt, Michigan at Utah, TCU at Minnesota, Duke at Tulane 2016 - Charlotte at Louisville, Tulane at Wake Forest, Indiana at FIU, App State at Tennessee, South Carolina at Vanderbilt, Oregon State at Minnesota 2017 - FIU at UCF, Buffalo at Minnesota, Tulsa at Oklahoma State, Ohio State at Indiana, New Mexico State at Arizona State 2018 - UCF at UConn, New Mexico State at Minnesota, Northwestern at Purdue, Wake Forest at Tulane. Quite the list of games |
Even 2016 had a couple of decent games (USC/Vandy and OSU/Minn). I don't care about them being top 25 games, just reasonable conference or P5 matchups. I guess like the last few years, only the BIg 10 game is semi-decent.

Coastal Carolina starts its season at "Big Daddy" South Carolina in Columbia today. Rare meeting between father and son, and Coastal just hopes to do better than the 60 point loss they picked up in 2013. Should be better this time around (I hope!). They are not yet a full scholarship team, but the talent levels should be much more comparable (I hope!). Good luck to "your" school this season!

Hoping to see that Chip Kelly still has it when im at the Rose Bowl today
|
It annoys me that I can’t watch the GT game over the air here in Atlanta.
|
Fox Sports South?

Oh noes. How else can you see missed PAT's and a change in kickers before halftime of the season opener? |
What is Teas doing? Maryland is not good.

Getting a coach a big buyout at this rate. |
Quote:
I meant true over the air (no cable here). Yeah, this is a pointless game, but I was still hoping to see it |
Quote:
There's not much over the air football left at this point. The old conference syndication packages (like the Raycom ACC one) were dying well before anyone thought of "conference networks" and the like. ACC package in Atlanta (on ch 36? ch 69?) was down to getting lower ratings than coach show replays on FSS as often as not. Vandy vs anybody could equal/beat even low-profile ACC games featuring GT. The numbers weren't usually much better in the Tobacco Road markets either. |
Tough to tell much, but the defense has looked strong and the offense like it is going through the motions.
|
Go Hawks!
Looking forward to see who is running the offense. |
Quote:
Well a little better for Coastal. They lose 49-15. |
Washington & Lee survives Dickinson 16-10 in OT.
Kids we know (from their high school days): -- ILB was everywhere all day (6 tkls, 2 TFL, 1 FF, 1 Sack, 1 pass breakup) -- Freshman WR had a key block on a long KR in his debut -- QB, umm, well, uh ... split time on what might have been his toughest outing as a QB: 1/5 passing for 8 yards & 1 INT, 7 carries for 2 yards & 1 Fumble. Next week it's a road trip (for the team & for my family) to Sewanee, TN to take on old rival University of the South |
This is so clearly a home game for Auburn but I feel like we are weathering the storm
|
Quote:
JT Daniels will have a better career at USC than Josh Rosen did at UCLA, but hes not nearly the same level as talent, at least coming in as a a FR. And Daniels has much better supporting cast this year. I'm grateful OSU didn't fire Meyer, I was afraid SC was going to hire him next season. |
App St driving for the win at PsU
|
Not too inspired by UCLA's scheme so far. I can see why Harbaugh cut Speight
|
Quote:
I got a whole lot worse. Ucla is a big work in progress and we will likely score very little vs Oklahoma next week |
Question for the more experience/knowledgable gamblers here:
UGA vs Austin Peay ended 45-0 BUT ... the 4th quarter only lasted 10 minutes. (by mutual agreement apparently) Looking up the lines, a tracking site I found had Ceasars/Harrahs going at -44 but everyone else was anywhere from -46 to -48. Does the shortening of the game make all those bets no play? Or did the teams possibly screw some unknown number of betters by not playing it out in full? |
Most books count it as official if at least 55 minutes are played.
|
Quote:
Thanks. This level of detail is just beyond my experience, so I knew just enough to catch it as a "might be" problematic. I wonder if that played a role in picking five minutes as the amount of time they shortened the game by? Either way, where I kinda went mentally with this was "how much more cognizent of such things will teams have to become with the expansion of sports betting?" |
Quote:
Looked like SF Kelly not Oregon Kelly. |
Iowa looks the same.
Interesting that our coach hasnt evolved one bit in 20 years. |
