My old team runs the triple option now and I am insanely jealous they didn't while I was there. Also they ripped off Boise's blue turf lol

E: well actually not ripped off I guess since they have a trademark on it and we had to get their permission but still

I lived in Gainesville during the Urban years, and there was always rumors about shady rear end poo poo going down on his teams.

the fact that he bragged about only having "the top 10% of the top 10%" or something to that effect playing on his teams (and he meant top 10% in terms of people, not football players), made the obvious shady poo poo that surrounded the Florida football team (eye-gouging, anyone) even more infuriating.

After reading what Hernandez did while visiting UF before even being on the team, it's mindblowing he was still given a scholarship. The things people will overlook because people are good at a sport is incredible.

edit: that article also reminded me that Jason White won a heisman. what a joke of an award.

Seems like a weird one to get upset about, Jason White was pretty drat good. Should Larry Fitzgerald have won? Yeah probably, but get real, it's the Heisman.

There are way too many years when the Heisman just becomes an award for the highest Q score on the #1 team. I guess it's a side effect of having a season-long conversation steered by ESPN and eventually decided by a panel of sportswriters. If that sounds sad, consider that decision process is one of the less corrupt elements of college football nowadays.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
A D3 school cut a player for kneeling during the anthem :\

They decided to do a pre-anthem protest and nobody was allowed to deviate and this guy decided to do otherwise.

In Mark Dantonio's 3rd year at MSU he went 6-7.

I mean, I get it, lots of Michigan fans are annoying and acted like Harbaugh would win the national title every year from year 1. They were dumb though. This team won 5 games the year before Harbaugh got here. I'm sure at the time you were happy to talk about how Michigan sucked, had limited talent, and MSU was clearly the better team. And you weren't wrong.

So, I mean, no, I'm not really ready to say "actually our coach sucks and we're going to be bad forever" because we lost a game by 4 points after turning it over 5 times in a monsoon. Sorry. At least we lost with dignity or whatever

Auburn says that thing about the tutor taking someone's test for them is not now and was not then an active player, it was a former player finishing a degree.

(Now are Auburn tutors illegally taking actual players' tests for them? Of course! But if ESPN had actual sources on that they would have written about that and not whatever this poo poo was.)

Yeah but an outside firm was hired to dig up dirt, so if they are doing it for a player who doesn't have to worry about academic eligibility, what will they do for ones that they need to keep eligible?

Although the Heisman lost legitimacy much much earlier (Hornung maybe?), the real moment it clicked how bullshit it is was when Grossman came in 2nd to Crouch.
