Really? But what about Notre Dame honor and all that?


Some kid associated with the team helped players too much with their schoolwork.

I think that happens at every school and there is no way to completely stop it.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Nerds "helping" jocks with home work is a long tradition. The NCAA   Is unamerican.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

When I was in grad school, I had a classmate that was an ex ND cheerleader who was also a former tutor for the team. She was impossibly gorgeous. The MBA students would just stare at her through classes.

She also considered several of the players friends and kept up with the ones in the NFL.

Schools have upgraded their support from "nerds" - at least the schools that care about football.

Remember grumbler posting about how statistical analysis showed that the average P5 school would score just under 1 point per game against the Michigan defense while the game was still in doubt?

The defense is obviously an all time great one. Actual game results are just aberrations that shouldn't detract from that.

good luck tomorrow, btw. The entire universe outside the state of alabama is with you. :)

Well, in his defense, whatever statistical analysis grumbler was looking at didn't take into account Dalvin Cook. Thank god he should go pro after this year. He is a Miami guy, and I don't think I"m out on a limb at all saying that had he picked Miami over FSU, Miami would have probably won the last three Miami-FSU games (Miami lost all three, but they were close).

Someday soon FSU may take over the series lead from Miami. FSU may also one day pass Miami in national titles. It is also possible that FSU could pass Miami in the US News & World Report listing of colleges and take over as the top college in Florida (lol, not really). But I don't think there is anything we can do about the school being in Trailerhassee. :(

Much better game than the first half made it look to be.  Stopped watching at halftime but I guess Michigan found some offense somewhere.

CountDeMoney

Obviously the fix is in, and the Husky QB is on the take because nobody could consciously and without malicious intent make that kind of throw.  :lol:
