The life cycle of an Internet rumor.

1. Unsubstantiated rumor posted on teams home site.

2. Rumor migrates to opponents board.

3. Original rumor found to be without merit and fact is so posted.

4. Opponents post accusations of a cover up.

5. Years later opponents continue to reference the cover up as though the original rumor was established fact.

Award worthy!

Sugar Bowl offense will be the Wing-T as TP can't throw and all Big Ten teams do is "3 Yards and a cloud of synturf"! :tongue2:

alright, Message board fodder from Arkansas side is saying there is a rumor circulating about up to 8 buckeye players being suspended for the bowl game for getting tattoos and using signed jerseys to pay for them.

Personally I think it's crazy and haven't heard anything about it. Just wondering if anyone else has heard this rumor.

You should search for a thread with instructions on accessing the rumor mill :wink: As for the innuendo, nothing has come of it so far, and the only place that reported it is notorious for running with reckless rumors before they should.

sorry, didn't realize there was a rumor mill thread for the Sugar Bowl too. I will be more thorough in the future.
