College Football V: Bowls Are Done; Carry On My Wayward Sons

So this is interesting.



I'm sure some will use this as evidence of TCU ducking a big school, but I totally think they are right to refuse it. Why should UW, who just got beat by TCU, feel like they can't deign to give TCU a return game?

TCU's shrinking their stadium size to 40,000. That's why they're not going to get a return game from Wisconsin, which seats 80,321 at Camp Randall.

The TCU "home game" would have to be played at Jerry World, as mentioned, or somewhere like that to matter. You may as well ask why Iowa hasn't come to Kalamazoo to play WMU, since Western's beaten the Hawkeyes the last two times the teams have played.

Jadaveon Clowney, this year's "Can't miss recruit of the decade" commits to South Carolina, just like everyone assumed he would months ago.

They say he is the best this year, I wonder how many of the top recruits actually make it through 3-5 years and are still elite?

TCU is shrinking its stadium size? That's interesting considering how it seems like every other college football program is ADDING to its seat totals every year.

Yeah they had to take out the seating on one end of the stadium to make room for their new 7000 seat hockey arena.
 
Re: College Football V: Bowls Are Done; Carry On My Wayward Sons

It's part of modernizing the stadium, it also enables them to expand it later.

The renovation plans call for 24 suites and up to 2,300 club seats on the west side. The 24,000 square feet of club-level space, when completed, will be roughly where the first two rows of the current upper deck sit. The club level will be sandwiched between two levels of seating, all perched above the field-level seats.
TCU's renovated stadium will seat 40,000 spectators with the ability to add 10,000 more seats in the future. The stadium currently seats 44,358. Against Utah last season, the Frogs' played in front of 50,307, the largest crowd in school history, because of standing-room-only tickets.

I'm guessing his high intelligence isn't what attracted the attention of football coaches.
 
Re: College Football V: Bowls Are Done; Carry On My Wayward Sons

Well Auburn also pushed back when grades were due, otherwise Fairley would have been ineligible.
 
Re: College Football V: Bowls Are Done; Carry On My Wayward Sons

You know, you have to either be dumber than a stump or put in 0 effort to be a D-I athlete and fail anything. Putting aside all the illegal stuff the school can do for you, a D-I athlete has a fleet of top notch tutors to help them out. Tutors the rest of the student body would have to pay through the nose to get. They get them for free. I'm not expecting Rhodes Scholars here, just passing grades! They have everything but a Xerox of the final exam available to them. (I said we'd put aside all the illegal stuff ;))

The whole ranking and grabbing of HS recruits is all a bit much for personally.

Not an Auburn fan, but this is sad

AUBURN – Auburn University today confirmed that an herbicide commonly used to kill trees was deliberately applied in lethal amounts to the soil around the Toomer's Corner live oaks on campus, and there is little chance to save the trees. More information and ongoing updates as to treatment and prognosis are available on this site.

The City of Auburn Police Division is investigating the situation, and the application of this herbicide, known as Spike 80DF, or tebuthiuron, is also governed by state agricultural laws and the Environmental Protection Agency. The university does not use Spike herbicide. There is no reason to suspect any human danger from the herbicide, which manufacturer Dow Chemical says should be applied with proper clothing protection; a typical use of the herbicide is to kill trees along fence lines.

The university learned that a caller to The Paul Finebaum Show, a nationally syndicated radio show based in Birmingham, on Jan. 27, claimed he had applied the herbicide. As a precaution, soil samples were taken the next day and sent to the Alabama State Pesticide Residue Laboratory on campus for analysis. Due to a small fire that occurred in the Alabama lab in December, the tests were sent to the lab at Mississippi State University in Starkville, Miss., to expedite results.

The lowest amount detected was 0.78 parts per million, described by horticulture experts as a "very lethal dose." The highest amount detected was 51 parts per million, or 65 times the lowest dose. Experts believe a normal application by itself would have been enough to kill the trees, which are estimated to be more than 130 years old.

Updated that he ended the phone call with "roll (expletive) Tide." Sick.

Either that, or this is one doozy of a false flag operation, but I don't think anyone would go that far.

It would be pretty easy for a Georgia fan to slip in there and drop a Roll Tide in there to throw heat towards Tuscaloosa. Just that I really don't see a Georgia fan having the demented hate that it would take to poison the trees. SEC fans may be out there, but for the most part, they usually respect each others campuses and traditions. Needless to say, I would think that everybody down there should beef up security on their campuses for something like that. Would hate to see it get nasty and have people start going after the mascots or the Grove at Old Miss.

Edit:
Arrest Made

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- A 62-year-old Dadeville man has been arrested in connection with the poisoning of the historic Toomer's Corner oak trees at Auburn University.

A spokeswoman for the Lee County Sheriff Office says Harvey Almorn Updyke Jr. was arrested early Thursday morning and charged with one count of first-degree criminal mischief.

He's 62 years old? Jesus, what a loser. I could see a college kid doing this and you could pass it off as being a dumbarse. But a 62 year old man? How pathetic.
