So a few years back I went to Utah @ BYU. Long story short I was sitting in the BYU student section and had snuck in beer in a water bottle. A few people down one kid turns to another and says "Do you smell beer?" the second responds "I don't know what beer smells like."

Basically what I'm saying is are you a Mormon student at BYU?

Real question is why did the kid know what beer smelled like, sounds like a sinner to me

So UGA did a thing and actually changed their student athlete substance policy: http://www.11alive.com/article/sports/ncaaf/a-new-future-for-uga-sports-how-new-rules-could-alter-how-athletics-handles-arrests/85-499574468

Previously, any arrest even if it was dropped in court counted as a violation. Now that has apparently been changed, which it is kinda crazy that a not guilty ruling or charges being dropped was still a violation. Kirby getting his way apparently.

Is weed a banned substance under the NCAA? If a school decided that their athletes could smoke and didn't test for it would they get in trouble?

Yeah it is a part of the agreement for the financial aid package. Schools have to agree to that via the NCAA or else they can't offer scholarships, even in recreational states.

I think the only time the NCAA tests is before NCAA sponsored post season stuff. Otherwise I’m pretty sure they leave it to the schools and give them a lot of leeway for how they test and punish everything except PEDs

Like usual, it's confidence picks. 1 is the least confident, 41 is the most. You can change your picks and order right up until game time, so keep that in mind once the championship teams are known.

I think that's a solid points pick, troy is having their best season in school history and UNT is coming off a blow out loss.

Also lol @ that game being in the Superdome... poo poo's gonna be like 80% empty.

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.
We were a freak TD catch from a 5-0 final in the Stagg Bowl. So close.

According to one of my uncles who was a degenerate gambler you used to be able to clean up betting nothing but underdogs in bowl games every year. Vegas/the betters have gotten smarter about it so it doesn't work anymore but he claims every Christmas gift he ever bought someone in the 70s/80s was paid for in free bowl money.

Same uncle is no longer a degenerate gambler but is a drunk and likes to tell stories, so I am not 100% sure this is actually true.

Why are you going to watch your team lose?

Honestly though I'm not thrilled about this matchup. My only hope is Kentucky can get healthy and play like they did at the beginning of the year, because they were pretty banged up by the end. Also for Benny Snell to keep doing Benny Snell things. I forget the exact number but I saw somewhere that something like 75% of his yards were after contact this year.
