NCAA football, 2013-14

[Valmy]

Johnny Manziel is under investigation for signing a bunch of autographs at an autograph broker's house for "five figures."  There are apparently photos.  Other brokers are popping up saying similar things. 

Ohio State would get double secret probation and he would be shot by firing squad.  But since this is the SEC nothing shall happen.

College football is slowly starting to creep into my conscience.  Gotta say I'm not really looking forward to it, at least not from a WVU fan perspective.

Anyways, I'd like to see the B10, SEC and PAC12 to tell the NCAA to fuck off.

I think that is exactly what is about to go down...except they have to take the Big 12 and ACC with them.

I think you mean the Big 12, Pac 12, and SEC have to take the Big 10 and ACC with them.

I wonder how it'll get spun when A&M still only loses two games with that schedule of theirs after Manziel gets suspended.

I'm not biting today.

You meant to say "ermahgerd, 'tattoos.'"  It was a drug den disguised as a tattoo parlor (and it was the DEA that started the tipoff to Tressel).  I don't think anyone in the know really believes the players traded all that shit for a coupla tats.

They will certainly change their role in it, but the B10, SEC, and Pac-12 (along with the ACC and Big 12 schools) and basically ARE the NCAA.  The chair of the executive committee is always the president of one of those schools (currently Michigan State's president) and those schools wield a lot of power.  The problems of (1) crap enforcement and (2) too many schools in D-1A are mostly problems created by the BCS schools.

So much for ND traditions! 

The uni isn't awful, other than the asinine shamrock on the helmet (redundant given the much-better-looking shamrocks on the shoulders) and the way-too-long sleeves on the undershirt.  For South Florida, this would be a good uni. 

Gonna be hard to see the numbers, given the lack of contrast between white and gold.

I suddenly want a Shamrock Shake.

Also, timmay has tainted ND for the upcoming season. Sorry Seedy.

And he still has another year to wait before Maryland gets in the B10.

Yeah, I think this is gonna be a rough year for the Mountaineers.  Losing talents like Smith, Austin, and Bailey all at the same time would put any program in a hole.  I think WVU's defense will be better, but not good enough to carry the team.  I don't see them being a bowl team this year, but after that, things will get better.

And when they do, they will share a division with Michigan, Ohio, and Penn State.  Good luck with that!

This year should be Texas' year.  Everybody else is down, most of the team is back, the schedule is kind.  A conference championship should be likely but, you know, they still have Mack Brown so them losing to OU 77-0 is always a possibility no matter how down OU is.
