For the record SEC will be what, 6-3 in bowl season. That's pretty good. LSU and FLA with clunkers but they were inconsistent all year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 8, 2013 -> 04:59 AM) The 4 best teams in college football right now, IMO, are Alabama, Oregon, TAMU and Stanford. Absolutely, but I still think at this point in time TAMU would beat all of them.

Guys Taylor Martinez said Big Ten defenses are better than SEC defenses. SEC sucks!

Mizzou at least had a field goal at half. #nationalchamps2013

Here is the good NYT piece on it, which was much more thoroughly reported. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/17/sports/h...?pagewanted=all Note, that there was a local blogger that did a lot of work to keep this in the spotlight, has her name on the blog, and lives in the town taking all the heat. Takes a little more courage.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 10:16 PM) Yes this is also very likely but also the information could still very easily be true given how easily such accusations can be suppressed in this town. I'm not saying it isn't true, just that when you have a bunch of people telling you the stories of the town, rumors will be a part of it. This place doesn't seem like it's that big on reporting.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 11:11 PM) I'm assuming they are recent findings by this hacker group 'Anonymous' that just came out and haven't been explored. I'm sure there's concerns with the legality of evidence obtained by this group also but to answer your question I really don't know. I do trust the information provided from that group though as they hacked and released the entire e-mail cache of the dude who runs the team fan site and what not and uncovered deleted tweets, instagram photos and whatever else. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out from a town wide perspective given the allegations at hand. I'm also guessing this group is also publishing hearsay as fact.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 11:08 PM) Seriously, can't some organization from outside look into and do something? Because trusting the local authorities in this is absurd. I heard that the girl was taken over state lines. Couldn't that make it eligible for the Feds?

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 11:01 PM) The mother f***ing loser in that 12 minutes video is "no longer a student at the Ohio State University" as of today. Good. If I was in college, knowing that kid was there, I would have my student judiciary that I feel like could have pushed expulsion for these things. He is a danger to the student body.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 08:47 PM) Are you f***ing kidding me? Things you've brought into this thread: guns aren't the problem, black people are the problem we should ban gay sex because of aids as an analogy, right after claiming seat belt laws were getting off-topic

I second at least closing this thread.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 06:45 PM) I don't see why Mary being a c*** needed to be blacked out - she's such a b****. Thankfully, she's finally married. And yes, Tom is awesome. His drunken rant was crazy, though, and I'm glad the cripple saw that he was drugged. I wonder how long we'll have to wait until Matthew decides to in fact save Downton? I hope that Matthew doesn't. How absurd for that family to keep their way of life by falling ass backwards into inheritances over and over. This series should make everyone love America.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 7, 2013 -> 05:17 PM) Honestly, I'm not going to get into this talking about what weapons are suitable for home defense when I'm dealing with people who use words like "clips" and "assault rifles" over, and over, and over, and over. Oh please don't threaten to leave the thread!

I like how Downtown doesn't try to paint their characters as complete heroes. It does bring in characters to highlight how silly it is that they hold themselves in such high esteem, yet have done nothing to earn their money and seem to be quite terrible at maintaining it. That said, I hope they can keep Tom around for more. He's a good actor.

I think ND will hang in there. The Alabama of the 2nd half was much less dominant than the one blowing the s*** out of teams early in the season. However, Saban does tend to do well with long off-periods. That said, I think as it stands today, the team I'm confident could beat any other team on a neutral site is definitely Texas A&M. Great season for them and they just kept getting stronger.

It's a great idea to base all of your judgment on a very small sample size.

A large part of the problem was the Bears did Cutler no favors during that game. They didn't say what happened, and called him questionable to return. They basically threw him to the dogs.

I watched the first few minutes of that yesterday. I don't even know if this is better or worse but at least was comforted that some of those kids at the party knew it was rape and went to go help. Meanwhile the other kid just laughs hysterically about how they killed and raped a girl.

Good god.

Bills hire Syracuse HC according to Schefter. If lovie doesn't find a job and Andy Reid gets to be a whole organization, I feel like something is wrong.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 6, 2013 -> 03:11 AM) Bring on the Packers! I can't wait to go to the game next sat As glad as I am we are getting a new coach, bears would have made better playoff showing. Boom #boldunknowablepredictiom

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 4, 2013 -> 09:16 PM) The only one I don't like I guess is over. I think this could be a 17-14 kind of game. Not sure how much either team is going to move the ball. Good luck! Agreed, but you never know, could end up being like 5 defensive touchdowns.

I wish I understood betting, but good luck!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 4, 2013 -> 08:12 PM) If we are going to send money directly to Americans, I wish we would come up with a way to actually get something to show for it, if at all possible. Something like a new WPA program that paid more than simply being on welfare, unemployment etc, and use that to do infrastructure work around the country would fit the bill. There is plenty that needs to be done, there are plenty of things that need to be done, and there are plenty of people who currently have a disincentive to look for work unless it pays significantly more than what they are making. And anything they'd do would be considered pork and greasy politics by among other people, yourself.
