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

There’s a point of view that since a team is a member of a conference they should just follow the rules of the conference.

I understand that the first player or two were on their way to LSU before the rule was enacted, but the reaction after the SEC made the rule could have been “Sorry guys, we‘re not allowed to add you to the team now.”

and as of this morning, those players still have not yet been added to the roster.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights (official troll of PedSU)

I don’t know if Rutgers has ever been the studs of anything in football. We’re talking about a team that went 1-5 against Cincinnati in Big East conference play from 2005 to 2010.
Also blew a 27-7 lead and lost in overtime to 2005 Illinois, in what turned out to be an almost hilariously awful team, in Zooker's first game here.

Nobody is arguing that.
right, we're just the only ones being sued over it.

So you don't really hate it. All it takes is your team doing it, and then magically you're fine with it.

what fucking part of I don't think ANY of these kids should be eligible and none of this shit should even be happening are you not grasping?
that's my personal opinion on the rule.
that includes these guys, players getting 6th, 7th, 8th, years of eligibility, etc.
I think it's all complete bullshit that this is even happening.

but I don't get to make the rule.

but if this is the rule (by way of court injunction), then I pretty much expect any head coach to go out and try to field the best roster he can. That's part of his job.

I don't have to like it to see that it's bullshit that only one school is being raked over the coals and being sued by name over it.

No team was ignored.
so where's the list of lawsuits against other schools doing it?
where is the impromptu SEC meetings to hurry up and release penalties against Alabama when they did it?
when were the court cases with the SEC pushing back and appealing injunctions for any of the other kids at other schools?

Not same here. At the time, Tressel was Jesus. He reversed the Michigan curse, and he ended a 34 year NC drought. And we STILL ran his ass out of town. And everybody understood why. We accepted that he lied and got caught. So.....not exactly the same approach you're taking.
you're right, it's not the same.
because there was no precedent over the previous several years of it being an accepted practice to go along with what the courts said on the subject like there is here.

:roll2:
Yeah......they're totally gonna kick LSU out of the SEC over this. Or LSU will up and leave. Definitely a legitimate possibility here in the real world.
I don't think that will happen.
but at this point, nothing would surprise me.

QB1/WR Braxton Miller (B1G POY, National Champion, OSU HOF)

A bigger Braxton Miller would be sick
Sheeeeiiit, if he ends up half as good as his old man he’d be a good, starting caliber college QB.

If he’s a better passer and even close to the same kind of athlete…..it’s four hours right?

Game Thread Ball State at tOSU, Sat. Sept. 5th, 12:30 ET BTN

Right up there with Kokomo as shittiest places in America. Both happen to be in Indiana.
So the Kokomo song is full of shit?
Gary has joined the chat……
Ok I didn’t know this. On a drive to Ohio from Minnesota I booked a hotel there. The hotel had bars on the windows. We arrived at night so couldn’t really tell what was going on. I inherently felt I’d put my family in danger so I slept near the door. Well the next morning on the drive out my wife was like “where the hell are we this is terrible”.

Welcome to Gary Indiana hun!

Week 1 Game Discussion Thread

UMass shocks Rutgers: By the numbers as Minutemen snap nation's longest losing streak to FBS opponents​

The Minutemen went 0-12 last season and entered the game as 29.5-point underdogs​

Just three hours into Week 1, college football provided one of the most shocking results of the weekend -- and maybe the entire season. After going 0-12 last season, UMass went on the road and hammered Rutgers in a 37-21 win on Thursday.

Even though Rutgers isn't a top 25 powerhouse, this was still a highly improbable outcome. The Scarlet Knights entered the game as 29.5-point favorites, and history suggested that they should have been a lock to win this game. Here are some of the most mind-blowing stats from this miraculous Minutemen win.
  • Entering the game, FBS teams favored by 29-plus points were 213-0 since 2024.
  • Rutgers' 16-point loss was the fifth-largest by a favorite of 25-plus points since 2000.
  • This was UMass' first win over a Power Four team since moving to the FBS in 2012.
  • This was the first time UMass defeated a power conference opponent since 1978.
  • The Minutemen came into the game 0-9 all-time against Big Ten opponents.
  • UMass failed to score more than 26 points last season and averaged 11.1 points per game.

LSU Tigers (official thread)

Judge William Jorden approved a preliminary injunction that prohibits the NCAA and SEC from punishing any school that signs and plays the 42 athletes who sued the NCAA in Louisiana state court to play a fifth and final season of college sports. Judge William "Will" Jorden sits at the 19th Judicial Courthouse located at 300 North Boulevard, Baton Rouge, LA 70802.

Just sayin': It's 4.4 miles from the LSU campus, That's what you call a real "home field advantage"......:lol:

Rutgers Scarlet Knights (official troll of PedSU)

When my middle child was accepted to Rutgers, all my Ohio friends were gaga that she was going to an Ivy League school
Amusing the number of Manhattan execs are Rutgers grads

When she was there they were the studs of the Big East
When I'd go to a few games, Buckeye football scores were always on their scoreboard flashes and announcements
I was also amused how many kids wore OSU gear on campus.. 2nd only to Rutgers.. that has changed
She was mortified when they entered B1G... "oh shit, we're going to play Ohio State.. WTF"
I don’t know if Rutgers has ever been the studs of anything in football. We’re talking about a team that went 1-5 against Cincinnati in Big East conference play from 2005 to 2010.
