I dont blame some of the BOT wanting to appeal. The NCAA told the President either death penalty for 4 years or the actual penalties and the acting President couldnt discuss it with anyone because if there is a leak then the possibility of a death penalty is back on the table. While I agree with the penalties that were levied, there still should be a process.

looks like Hope Solo made an ass out of herself when she went after Brandi Chastain.

GSP could hold him down for a round or two at best but this fight will end with a highlight reel KO.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 03:43 PM) Whoops, UCF gets hit with a bowl ban for LOIC. Pretty big blow to them. They are headed to the Big East next year so they could have used the extra 10-15 practices in December. UCF is appealing but I doubt anything will come of it and nor should anything come from it. They deserve the ban, just sucks for them since they had high expectations. Easier to take a bowl ban when your team is headed to some third-tier bowl(ex. Miami last year).

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 11:34 AM) Just in case you need more on the "Illinois pitching tents in the parking lot" story and how none of it has any basis in facts, and it's just lazy journalism and looking for the SMU story: http://alioneye.com/2012/07/30/ridiculous-silliness/ The media never lets facts get in the way of a good story.

Phelps gives the US .76 lead in relay and Lochte cant hold onto it.

I'm liking the Olympic Basketball and Olympic Soccer cable channels.

UCF is favorites to win the C-USA title this year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:27 AM) He didn't look right. He seemed pale and skinny. Maybe age is catching up with him? old age + plastic surgery + trying to act 30 years young isnt a good combo.

I thought the ceremonies were boring and uneventful.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 11:10 AM) +1. Man I wish we had another home and home with each other the next couple of years. Yeah, that would be pretty fun. Last year's game pretty much sucked. Both teams were pretty bad and the game was very uneventful for the most part. Going to to tough with these 9 league conference games coming up. Your team does play UCF this year. I dont think OSU should be worried but I think UCF will atleast provide a good test to see where your team is at going into conference play. I know George O'Leary and Meyer dont care for each other so it might make things a little more interesting. UCF has a RB named Storm Johnson who spent a year at Miami under Shannon before Golden ran him off. He is really talented and would be without question the Miami starter if he didnt transfer.

I really like Brian Price and kinda bummed to see him go. The guy could have been something really good if it wasnt for that horrible injury. We'll see if he can ever overcome it. No risk at all from the Bears point of view and the Bucs just wanted to move on. Apparently the Bucs were hoping to move him for sometime for a better pick but there werent any takers. Not surprising. I really hope he can become the player everyone thought he could be. How can you not root for a guy like Price? http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=69817

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jul 27, 2012 -> 06:16 AM) NCAA wide rule change. Kickoffs go up to the 35 yard line with no running starts for the kicking team, and touchbacks on free kicks will be brought out to the 25 now. Also, if any player loses his helmet during a play, they HAVE to leave the field for at least one play or it is a 15 yard penalty. the pussification continues.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:41 AM) That is a player that Hoke probably wouldnt have recruited, he had grade and character issues in HS but RichRod took him anyway. RichRod made a living taking those types of players at WVU.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 01:13 AM) http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/...nded-dui-arrest I think he just rose a few spots on the Lions draft board.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 11:05 PM) And before anyone chimes in about Paterno being the coach, I dont think he was doing them any favors the last few years in the coaching department either. Not even sure he knew where he was some games. The guy was a fraud the past few seasons. He was nothing more than a glorified fan sitting in the press box with no headsets on. Did he even go downstairs for halftime?

almost getting comical on how much of a hard-on Charles Robinson at Yahoo has for Miami.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 08:09 PM) You dont think this was a preemptive strike against those allegations? Al la Pryor going pro so the NCAA couldnt touch him? No because I dont see him sitting the entire year out. Maybe if the supplemental draft hadnt taken place already then I could see him leaving and entering that draft. Plus this had to do with him going to dinner with a booster. He did the same thing last year and got cleared. I think Miami just got tired of him and figured he wasnt worth the risk.

those are some horrible odds. 5dimes has the 49ers at 12-1 Bears are 24-1 Packers are 5-1

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 11:43 AM) Ray Ray Armstrong just got dismissed from the Miami football team.. What a waste of talent! I wonder what route he chooses now. D-II to mid-late round draft pick. Amazing how dumb some athletes could be. If this was a few years ago he misses a game or two but Miami isnt going to mess around right now with the NCAA still searching for something to grasp onto.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 07:47 AM) Yeah, to have Illinois visiting you. I guess I walked into that one.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 07:47 PM) Any Illini fans see the home schedule this year? It should lead to a lot of wins, but holy hell is it unexciting. W. Michigan Charleston Southern La. Tech Penn State Indiana Minnesota Purdue is it possible to have an easier home conference schedule within the Big 10? Of course they get killed on the road conference schedule.
