Re: College Football III: We may lose, but we keep the score close!

In other news, Mark Dantonio has a very different definition of what "zero tolerance" is than the rest of America.

Sophomore running back Glenn Winston and junior safety Roderick Jenrette, whom MSU identified as being present at the altercation at a fraternity potluck in MSU's Rather Hall, are permanently dismissed from the team. Dantonio said that players who have received second chances for past issues face a "zero tolerance" policy if they are involved in future incidents, which is why Winston and Jenrette were kicked off the team.

"I have been asked about last year's statement regarding zero tolerance. Zero tolerance means exactly that. We have no tolerance for Chris L. Rucker's actions. I repeat, I have no tolerance for his actions. He was immediately suspended. He has served his civil punishment, and there are other internal disciplinary measures nobody will know about outside the program. Again, zero tolerance does not mean automatic dismissal.

Notre Dame must fire Brian Kelly over student death

Before Notre Dame reaches a financial settlement with the family of Declan Sullivan, the 20-year-old videographer who died in a tragic practice accident, the school must sever ties with its first-year head football coach.

Kelly should not coach the Irish on Saturday when they take on Tulsa.

We don’t need a thorough and exhaustive investigation to recognize Kelly’s negligence. A coach’s most important job, particularly at the amateur level, is to take every reasonable precaution to ensure the safety of the young people under his control.

Kelly failed in the worst way possible.

In recent years, Notre Dame dismissed Bob Davie, Tyrone Willingham and Charlie Weis for failing to win enough games. The school canned George O’Leary for exaggerating on his resume.

Those "crimes" pale in comparison to allowing student managers to go up in 50-foot-tall lifts to film practice in hazardous wind conditions.

Mitigating circumstances do not matter. Notre Dame’s video coordinator should not be held responsible. Declan Sullivan, who tweeted before and during practice the weather conditions were terrifying and life threatening, certainly isn’t to blame.

The head football coach has final say over everything that transpires on the practice field. Everything. That’s why Ohio State’s Jim Tressel moved the Buckeyes’ practice inside on Tuesday when wind gusts made conditions unsafe.

“I don’t know if we’ll be inside or out,” Tressel told Ohio reporters 24 hours before the Notre Dame tragedy. “It looks a little nasty. I worry about our cameramen, their well-being up there 50 feet in the air.”

That’s the proper mindset of a head football coach. He’s paranoid about everything.

Re: College Football III: We may lose, but we keep the score close!

Having played college football and worked with coaches most of my life, I know how Kelly made this mistake. His team is soft. He wanted to test his players mentally and physically in difficult conditions and he wanted to grade the test on tape.

That is a quote from Whitlock in the article. Been busy today, has there been some release of facts that supports Whitlock's assertion?

While the AD and Kelly are ultimately responsible for whatever happens, that is different than attributing motivation to causing the accident. I really hope this was a terrible string of errors in judgment more than a conscious decision to force the kid up there just to prove a point. Either way, the AD and Kelly are accountable but Whitlock's take seems to make a leap before the facts support it.

If Kelly was aware of the wind speed forecast and directed the kid up there anyway then I wouldn't be surprised if he was fired.
 
Re: College Football III: We may lose, but we keep the score close!

Notre Dame's AD needs a swift kick to the nuts, but that's more because his entire press conference was a giant covering of his own *** with stuff like "I was only there 4 or 5 minutes, but it wasn't an unusual day weather wise until a massive gust appeared from nowhere and knocked the thing over."

Uh, dumbass, it was leading news all across the midwest that it was windier than **** out.

Noooooooooo!
What in the world gives ABC the impression the upper Midwest wants to see Minnesota get steamrollered?

Well, they did switch from Miami-Florida State to Stanford-USC a few weeks back. One can hope that after it's 42-0 Buckeyes in the 2nd quarter that we'll get to watch Oregon-USC after that.

I think Oregon-SC is on one of the other ESPN networks, just disappointed 'cause ABC is the only one I get in HD.

Plus, if you're going to make a Big Ten game primetime, why not MSU-Iowa?

The problem for Notre Dame is the kid's Facebook postings 40 minutes before the accident. They're going to have a tough time shifting blame when it was public record that this kid felt he was in danger and still ended up there anyway.

EDIT: Whitlock is just trying to keep his name out there with the fire Kelly stuff. Unless Kelly had some sort of direct contact with the kid telling him to go up there, which I doubt, he'll probably escape, but somebody at ND is going to get absolutely hammered over this thing.

As a gopher fan, I resent this title. We always lose, but somehow beat the spread every game.

As they should. This is negligent in the fullest sense of the word. Didn't ANYONE think, "Man, maybe this is a really bad idea..."

The ESPN games tonight are Michigan @ Penn State (ESPN), Kentucky @ Miss State (ESPNU) and Colorado @ Oklahoma (ESPN2). The Oregon @ USC game is part of the game plan package (790 on DirecTV) and might be available on ESPN3 (if it's not blacked out in your region).

Ah, thanks for digging that up.

Still, I have rabbit ears and an internet connection and that's it, so ESPN or ESPN3, it really makes no difference to me.
 
Re: College Football III: We may lose, but we keep the score close!

Miami loses to UVA 24-19. Gee ACC, do you really want to take away the Big East's AQ away after both your ranked teams stunk out the joint.

By the way, Syracuse defeats Cincinnati 31-7. One more win and the Orange become bowl eligible. I never thought would happen this year.
