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

USC knew about reggie bush and probably facilitated the whole thing.

I expected better of you. In the very best case scenario for the NCAA, one member of USC knew, the RB coach. He found out after the USC-Texas title game. But the NCAA has now decided to change their method of determining punishment. Instead of levying punishment based on whether the school knew, now the standard is whether the school should have known if the athlete was high profile.

Reggie Bush was guilty as sin. USC was stupid because their AD was/is a retard and had a **** poor compliance office 1/10th the size of most compliance offices. But they weren't complicit, this isn't the SEC.

USC deserves everything they get for OJ Mayo. They knew Guillory was a scumbag because he had been caught for the same thing before.

But with Bush, the house for his parents, the car, they weren't obvious things. Both were within the means of a dual income family and the house...no school even with a competent AD and competent compliance department is going to find out about the house rent.

Now they should have wondered about Bush's parents going to away games on Southwest? I mean, how could they have afforded to fly Southwest?

I like how besides Priceless you're just trusting the NCAA. Watch out when they come for you. USC gained no advantage by Bush cheating, they already had him playing at the school and he wasn't going to leave. He wasn't paid by a booster, he didn't play better because of the money he was given. He was ineligible for the 2005 season, two years without bowl games and 45 total lost scholarships is insane.

Tell him USC knew about reggie bush and probably facilitated the whole thing and see what happens.
You are oh so right! :D

Hey, I bet USC was probably in on the bidding for Cam Newton and will get thumped even further as that investigation plows forward! And really, if it was happening with Bush, you have to figure that a bunch of other players at USC were probably getting similar deals, though maybe not quite as sweet as Bush's. They're lucky nothing else came to light.

Alabama 14, Auburn 0 :)

Edit: Sorry...21-0. :) :)

Roll Tide!

This game is being stolen out from under Newton like it was a bunch of laptops.
 
Re: College Football III: We may lose, but we keep the score close!

I see the refs are slowly trying to get Auburn back into the game with that sub penalty on Bama.

Sort of like how they helped Auburn at the end of the first half by ruling that tipped ball incomplete? :P

Crack open a beer, put the tin foil away, and enjoy a good game. :)
 
Re: College Football III: We may lose, but we keep the score close!

nice spot for Alabama there, love how they don't show a replay so you can see where it should have been spotted
 
Re: College Football III: We may lose, but we keep the score close!

Wow - this could be the end for Alabama . . . if McElroy really is hurt.

I know folks want to see Auburn lose, but you have to admit that seeing Nick Saban look so disappointed is a nice consolation prize.

True, Seeing Saban lose is nice

4th and inches on your own 40, up by only one.

And you go for it. From the shotgun. That took guts.
 
Re: College Football III: We may lose, but we keep the score close!

The worst part of the whole Newton/Auburn thing is that what he did today was truly Heisman-worthy. Not the gaudiest of stats, but storming back from 24-0 down to victory on their hated rival, every bit as impressive as Ward scrambling just long enough to find Dunn and put the Gators away in the Swamp, Troy Smith's Big Ten title clinching drives on Michigan, Ricky Williams finishing off Texas A&M and setting a career rushing record, and Desmond and Woodson's punt returns that put the Buckeyes on ice 6 years apart with Keith Jackson crowning them.

He ought to be remembered the same way, but the cloud of smoke is so thick around him that we all have to assume there's fire, and in the unlikely event that he is clean, we won't know for some time and the moment is already gone.

I agree 100% with all of this.
 
Re: College Football III: We may lose, but we keep the score close!

Well Auburn not losing and likely going undefeated will keep the non-BCS teams out of the NC and into the Rose Bowl, keeping out Stanford, and Newton not losing today will likely keep him atop the Heisman and knock out any chance Luck had, so what I'm trying to say is **** You Alabama.
 
Re: College Football III: We may lose, but we keep the score close!

All this football had me convinced it was Saturday. I came home from a thanksgiving dinner at a friends and got online to look up some scores and was confused when I could not find them.

Agreed. I kept having to look at my phone to make sure it wasn't.

Three of the top four teams in the country in action?

Unreal. Gives all the voters a nice taste of where everyone is at.

Honestly, all of them have been impressive so far. I don't think any team really should gained much today. Except for the fact that Oregon locked up the Pac-10 title and BCS Bowl berth.

If Oregon or Auburn slip up next week, will it be enough?

Most likely not :(

I think one of them would have to get flat out embarrased.
