Tri-dola,
I think USC's D is pretty tired. Frankly, the offense has been so good, and the defense has been so poor tackling, that the defense has been out there a lot. So they're tired from that. And also, those 'SC kids feel like it's midnight now (which is the time here). I'll bet Lane's gotta curfew for his players at around this time--and they're still playing.

Exactly. Just mess about how they're going to dominate from day 1, how they're too good for the CAA and will soon be I-A, etc, etc. Can't wait for them to start league play. The CAA, as we like to say, is the "SEC of I-AA". They are going to take an ass-beating for a few years. I'm not saying they won't be good eventually, but the cockiness with them thinking they will be relevant from day 1 is obnoxious.

You're talking about them and their first game isn't 24 hours old, so...

USC's defense is not good at all. Matt Barkley looks like a future franchise QB for some NFL team.

In case you missed the reference, in '82 when Clemson was placed on 2 year NCAA probation the UNC AD made a motion at the ACC meetings to add 1 year as an ACC punishment. There was mixed reviews so the UNC AD made a motion that a vote be held and Clemson reps be required to leave the room so they would not know who voted how.....The vote was held, the year was added...and 3 straight beat downs of UNC resulted despite Clemson being an underdog in all 3. part of the speech included the phrase, "We have to geet thee message into the backwoods off SC and GA that those cheaters will never flourish"...thats is a phrase that is still fairly prominent in the CU AD |

I think it's funny that Kiffin over-reacted to the possibility of camp injuries by not allowing guys to hit each other/tackle, and they continued that theme right into their first game.

See, now they're just trying to run up the score. They've already clinched the Fulmer Cup.
Warrant issued for arrest of UGA safety Ogletree | UGA sports blog University of Georgia Police took out a warrant Thursday for the arrest of Georgia freshman football player Alec Ogletree on a charge of theft by taking. UGA Police Lt. Eric Dellinger confirmed to the AJC this morning that the warrant was issued but said further details would have to come from UGA Police Chief Jimmy Williamson, who was not immediately available. Ogletree, a safety, is a highly touted member of Georgia’s 2010 signing class. According to the Red and Black, UGA’s student newspaper, the warrant stems from a June 15 incident in which a student reported a $35 helmet was taken from the Rankin Smith Center on campus. Ogletree would be the ninth Georgia football player arrested this year.

As opposed to "theft by deception" or "theft by conversion". (I'm guessing that's what you were asking about)

They should just add "theft by UGA football player" to the statutes and be done with it.

I guess to answer my own question, from Heather Dinich's blog - yes. 15 players altogether.
Kinda sucks as it ruins what could have been one of the better games of the weekend: Quote:

On UNC - any word on how long these suspensions last, etc?
Extra bitter about UNC screwing W&M and moving the game to October. This was supposed to be W&M @ UNC, but late last season they worked this deal with LSU and moved the W&M game. We could really have a shot at defeating them with all of these suspensions. Anyway - curious how long they could last and if it could impact our game against them.

More like they worked the deal out with Chik-Fil-A Bowl people. It's the "kickoff" game, not just a regular home and home. It's primetime on network TV on the first weekend of the season. Can't blame anyone for moving a 1AA game for that. |

You have to think that Austin and Little are done. If they kept Dez Bryant out for the entire season, those two have to be toast.

So the other 3 UNC players not named that didn't make the trip were 2 starting LBs and a starting S. That's 8 defensive starters out and 11 of the top 23 on the defensive depth chart, plus the top 3 rushers last year, out for this game at least. Wow.

NCAA reverses field, Masoli eligible for Saturday after all
http://www.foxsportssouth.com/09/03/...45&feedID=4354 Disgusting ruling AFAIC, even when the NCAA gets something right they manage to get something wrong.

As a voluntary membership organization, the bounds of common sense would certainly seem to designate the NCAA as the most capable judge of the intent its own rules. What failed them here was their courage, not their judgment.

Really? Is it not a hypocritical stance? Is it wrong to point out hypocrisy when it happens?
I was honestly quite struck at how someone who has so frequently argued in favor of strict adherence to rules and laws in other issues is deviating from that kind of view in this particular case. |

I'm sure that will get a hard look, but in the meantime, I believe they certainly should be allowed to interpret their own rules as they see fit. FTR, I don't mind your question at all (not entirely thrilled with the somewhat combative tone, but whatever). I simply feel like there's a legitimate distinction here between this situation & the large majority of the instances where I've backed rule of law/rule of rules. Ever notice that I'm not really a member of the "raise hell about FOFC moderation" crowd? That's not accidental, and it's for reasons similar to my feelings here; basically "their house, their rules".

It's their right to, but it doesn't make it fair to the player affected. He's supposed to know the spirit of the rule when the rule, as written, as wide-open?

That said, those DB's did a poor job of reacting to those receivers and closing off the gaps, and an even worse job of tackling in the open field. And the USC DL didn't get enough pressure on Hawaii. I think they got tentative after Moniz burned them early for not keeping pocket containment with some big runs, and afterward they were a little more hesitant in their pass rush. |
