2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments - NCAA: no wins taken away, no postseason ban

I mean, that was literally the violation as I understood things. If Tressel doesn't do that, I'm pretty sure the NCAA just suspends five guys for 2-3 games and moves on (Tressel found out before the 2010 season). A true cover-up was worse than the crime scenario. In the current case, the underlying offense was orders of magnitude greater and the cover-up involved more people, went higher up the ladder, went on longer, and had far more on-field consequences. And that's not even counting keeping a coach active after you knows he's hacking computers and social media accounts to get nudes of young female athletes. Maybe others at OSU covered up too, but that's not my memory of it.
The cover up and lying went all the way up to the miserable jock-sniffing university President. Other than SMU, I've never seen that before.

The Henderson penalty followed by offensive penalties on a couple of series afterwards is what slowed the offense in the first half. It wasn't Texas' defense.

True but that is a result of the strategy of putting a lid on things with zone. It's going to "force" the offense into "unforced" errors depending on which POV you want to take.

Texas wasn't the only team to try to play a lot of zone, they just had the best athletes doing it. They disguised it and had the athletes to move safeties/LB's at the last minute to keep a reasonable lid on things. I am 100% sure they will do the same thing this year and it will absolutely be the right way to attack this offense with a new QB. Playing a bunch of soft zone should create openings for a counter punch from the offense but it might be asking a lot for a new QB to handle the reads Game 1.

Hopefully can put a couple of scores up early, which follows the championship run formula- see Tennessee, Oregon, Notre Dame. Put Texas on their heels, forcing them to throw deep and often, and let our 'center fielders' make some plays. tOSU could possibly have the deepest DBs in the nation, and hopefully this game will be their coming out party.

2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments - NCAA: no wins taken away, no postseason ban

I don't understand.

The most anyone would get is grainy cell phone video......and it delivers zero competitive advantage............and everyone does it anyway.....so why have a rule?
just because you hate your family and don't want to send them to the best cfb games across the country doesn't mean we cheat

SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

One of my happiest memories is driving back from a UGA victory over Tennessee in Knoxville and having an angry caller ask why they can't fire Phil Fulmer and hire Barry Switzer.

You want to talk about a coach that caught absolute hell from a fanbase...Elmer Fudd himself.

:lol:
