NCAA Football

Thread for this? Or am i the only one that watches it.

Watching Wisconsin/Oregon State right now. That Russel Wilson kid was great at NC State, watching him on a real team is kinda awesome.

Also, massive lulz as OSU and Miami suck due to violations..oh and auburn being terrible after their national championship.

Looing forward to SC-UGA tonight. Lattimore is a monster and went to high school 10 minutes from my house.

[[Q]]

i dont like college football cuz A) my school didnt have a team and B) I hate learning about all the players on the teams because they're going to the NFL or a 9 to 5 job in 2 years anyways and C) I hate USC

[Oznogrd]

good day yesterday: clemson, carolina, illinois won and Ohio State lost.

[Oznogrd]

Clemson's WRs looking shifty and if they keep up playing like this might pull the upset on the 'noles.

Seriously? no one else watches college ball? talk to me dammit!

[rise]

I got really pissed off watching South Carolina yesterday. Particularly the fact that the game ended with at least a second left.

Oznogrd Whos ur favorite Team(School)?

Illinois (my undergrad) by far with Clemson (family favorite/sister undergrad) being 2nd, and South Carolina being 3rd (best friend lives 300 yards from the stadium or so). Outside of those 3: i pretty much always pull for the underdogs. I hate LSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, USC, and several others for various reasons.

[Oznogrd]

you really expect me to pick all of these? on top of that...where's the night games dude?

Anyway: most are pretty predictable i'd think. No huge surprises i can see.

LSU-Bama-I think bama's got this because Saban is a more intelligent coach. I have no idea how Les Miles keeps winning things. He's one of the most lost coaches ive ever seen in a pressure situation

South Carolina-Arkansas-Pulling for South Carolina but my buddy is extremely worried about it...No lattimore, shaky defense on occasion...so i think Arkansas has this one.

Purdue may actually upset Wisconsin, they seem to be pretty legit.

Another boy attended as many as 15 football games as Mr. Sandusky’s guest; Mr. Sandusky brought him into a shower on campus and made the boy touch his genitals, the grand jury said. He placed his hands down the pants of another boy who spent the night at Sandusky’s house before home games, the grand jury said.

A graduate assistant for the team told the grand jury he alerted Mr. Paterno in 2002 that he had seen Mr. Sandusky sexually assaulting a boy in the shower at the Lasch Football Building on the Penn State campus. The graduate student told the grand jury he went to Mr. Paterno’s home the next day and described what he had seen. Mr. Paterno, in turn, told Mr. Curley.

About a week and a half later, Mr. Curley and Mr. Schultz met with the graduate assistant, then told Mr. Sandusky that he could not bring any children from the Second Mile onto campus, a ban the grand jury said Mr. Curley acknowledged was “unenforceable.” The university officials did not alert law enforcement, Ms. Kelly said.

Mr. Schultz testified to the grand jury that there was a similar incident involving a young boy in the football shower with Mr. Sandusky in 1998. The mother of that boy confronted Mr. Sandusky at her home, with two police detectives listening to the conversation. He told the woman, according to testimony by one of the detectives: “I was wrong. I wish I could get forgiveness. I know I won’t get it from you. I wish I were dead.”

Mr. Schultz, whose position includes oversight of the university police, testified that he did not know that the university police produced a lengthy report about the 1998 incident. The grand jury found the assertions by him that the 2002 allegations were “not that serious” and that he and Mr. Curley “had no indication that a crime had occurred” contradictory to other testimony.

...

“I never had any type of idea or suspicions about anything like that,” Kennedy said. “All the kids loved him.”

The grand jury report concluded with an incident that it said occurred in 2000, during a week when the Nittany Lions were away from campus for a game. Late at night, a janitor cleaning the football building said he observed Mr. Sandusky performing oral sex on a boy in a shower. Another worker that night found the shaken janitor, who said, “I just witnessed something in there I’ll never forget.”

Paterno always seemed creepy to me. Not that he necessarily has anything to do with this.

As a Penn State student, I feel angry, sad, and shocked that anyone from my school would do anything like this. I find it incredibly disturbing that any human being would commit these despicable crimes. We don't know all the facts, but it seems clear to me that a bunch of people, including the president, have got to go. The actions of a few people have changed peoples views on the honor and integrity of Penn State forever. But let the case run its course before making judgments on people. Everything is not known yet.

This quote sums up what I believe at this moment.

"Why have people discarded the integrity and honor of Penn State? I refuse to allow the vulgar actions of one man to completely taint the image of an honorable and progressive institution. If you are that ignorant, then you know nothing of this University and have no right to run your mouth. What will come out of this media frenzy is unknown...but what will remain is the legacy of Joe Paterno, the greatest coach to ever live; the existence of THON, the largest student run philanthropy in the world benefitting children with cancer; The Wall Street Journal's #1 recruitment rating; and the vast community of Penn Staters that live for the glory of Old State, and bring honor to the University. We Are Penn State, now and forever!"

Joe Pa out. Thoughts? Did he deserve to get fired for something Sandusky allegedly did?

The news reports are saying the ancient man didnt really understand what the grad student told him and thought he may have mentioned fondling. When has fondling at your place of work EVER been ok?

I think they're scapegoating the prez and joepa when its probably the board that told them to keep it quiet. They've been looking to have an excuse to get rid of Joe Pa for a few years I'd say and this gave them the perfect opportunity to move on.

[Sideshow Bob]

I dont think he deserved to get fired but hey.. "It is what it is"

Louisville coach Charlie Strong says his team lost to the Pitt Panthers, in part, because they weren't focused on football. Strong says the game 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3' took too many of his players' focus off of preparation last week.

Strong says he knew their focus was not on football based on their Twitter accounts: "What guys don't realize is on Twitter, you know what's going on with these guys because they don't realize you can read everything they're saying and they're all talking about the video game.

"It's all about maturity, but when you're dealing with young people everything is new and exciting to them and they're going to go try it as much as you talk about it," Strong said. "We had guys miss class because they stayed up all night playing that video game. It's such a big deal."

Massive Lulz as Oklahoma, OK State and Oregon fall yesterday. Cannot wait for the clusterfuck thats gonna result when LSU loses to Arkansas.

[rise]

21 unanswered points for LSU after being down 10-0 I just don't want Georgia to win, that's all.

[Oznogrd]

I'd rather georgia win than LSU myself. but yeah its probably over

[Oznogrd]

And let college football season begin again.

Looks bama's is insanely good and michigan was insanely overrated (but i could've told you that before the game).

Illinois didnt look great in their game against a bad Western MIchigan team.

South Carolina and Clemson both played badly but won.

No real upsets unless you count penn state losing which i dont

(btw, its week 1 and ive heard enough about the penn state scandal espn, let it die so the students and victims can move on with their lives)

[rise]

This has been the worst I've ever seen the Gamecocks play. We're shitting the bed right now against fucking KENTUCKY.

[rise]

FUCK. Hate to see Lattimore getting hurt like that again.
