Your writing since what occurred with Miami somewhat mirrors the stereotypical stages of someone coping with a tragic loss.

Believe me, I have always been this crazy. And I don't really think we are "losing" anything, this guy's story is falling apart more and more every day. The worst we get are minor sanctions at this point. If you want to see crazy, watch and see what happens if the NCAA actually does something severe over this.


Edit: I think I should also add that I am not just speaking for myself with this rioting and people dying over this talk, I actually believe it will happen if Miami is persecuted. We are a city that has been dealing with a lot of shit over this past year, and there are a lot of people who just don't give a fuck down here as well, and you combine that with taking away one of the few things that people down here actually give a fuck about (sports, especially football, you have to live here to see how seriously people take it), and you have a recipe for some serious trouble. People will back up all of this talk (I am not the only person talking it) with actions. I can probably sit down in front of my television and watch in unfold without lifting a finger :) .

And how many strikes does it take to kill a career? Ask Janzen Jackson of TN ;)
 
2011 is about to start flying by, people. It'll be Christmas before you know it.

Boise is 3 point favorites next Saturday but I'm skeptical. From what I can tell, Georgia should be a formidable team this year and if they come out strong in this game will probably have a strong season. I hope and expect to see a UGA win, but more than anything I'm ready to see some damn college football! Whoo!!
 
It's LSU, they have a nice Nike contract... I'm not really surprised.
 
the yankee in me wants to see both Georgia and LSU crumble to BSU and Oregon, respectively

I just have to say that 3, 4 is a true fan. he might be irrational and a bit crazy, but that's what true fandom does to a man. I will point and laugh at many of the flaws of college football's herp derpin, knuckle-dragging, fan-base - but I will never point and laugh at a true fan and his fan-hood. shit is serious as a heart attack (not to go all Mark Dantonio on us)

tOSU opens up with Akron, and now that the white passing QB who has been there for 6 years has been chosen over the black, true freshman, mobile QB - I'm starting to actually get a little bit worried about the season. gone are the decadent comforts of the past decade, where the Buckeyes lost even half their roster to the NFL Draft, and I would flip a flippant wrist and say "oh but we are the Ohio State University. it matters not, all we do is win." errr... not so fast my friend. the last time tOSU lost four games was exactly a decade ago, in Jim Tressel's first year with the Buckeyes. argh. it can't come down to that again... or at least I hope not...
 
Random stuff...

For 3,4 with love

I see tOSU with the following losses:
@MIA (If the UM players get re-instated = possible
vs MSU = Possible
@NEB = Absolutely
vsWISC = Highly Likely
@PUR = Possible
vsPSU = Probable
...all in all, could reasonably end with 3-5 losses, IMO.

Who lacks class again? 8)
 
I'm not really scared of Penn State, unless my team is playing at their stadium. no matter how shitty PSU is doing any given year (and there have been some bad PSU teams every so often this decade), I can't stress enough how intimidating their stadium can be. they always get up for Ohio State, because we usually dole out the punishment in the Big Ten. that is going to be the scariest part of this year. while it's perplexing to think that Purdue can beat tOSU this year, it is a possible reality because even the shitty teams will be excited to finally put one over their usual whipping boy

and come on, Miami over tOSU? I can't wait to see tOSU's back-ups obliterate Miami's back-ups. I was scared of them pre-scandal, but now, I sadly think that the whole deal was so close to football time that they are going to have a difficult time focusing. not to mention, the couple of players they had on defense that could have been first-round NFL prospects, won't be there

if Jacory Harris threw that many picks, how much will his back-up QB throw??

better chance of coaching Ohio State in two years: Kirk Herbstreit or Urban Meyer?
 
You don't want Urban Meyer. He's burnt out, and figured out. He had some great ideas, but guys like Malzhan have improved upon them, and they are dependent on rare talent. Make a hire like you did with Tressel next year, similar to the hires Miami and Michigan made. Golden and Hoke are the two new up and comers in this business (provided Golden stays in Miami, of course), and you want a guy like that, unless you can get Peterson or Patterson, in which case, holy fuck, you guys will actually be real contenders again (no offense to you, Axl, but under Tressel you had to know that there was no way you were ever going to win another title, him being gone is a blessing in disguise).

The biggest coaching busts will be Jimbo and Muschamp. I'm not just saying this out of hatred, I just know what it's like having first time head coaches at the reins of a major program (and Florida fans should know this too, if you guys haven't blocked out the Ron Zook era the way Miami fans will one day block out the Shannon one).

And props to Urban Meyer for actually having the dignity to stand up for Miami. He seems to be the only guy out there not hating and wishing for the death penalty. I still hate him, but not as much.
 
I don't think Jacory Harris is a bad QB, I just don't think he was coached well.
 
Looks like Miami will only be missing Olivier Vernon (six games) and Ray Ray Armstrong (4 games) for Ohio State. The other six players who were declared ineligible were only suspended for game 1 (Maryland).


This is good news. Given, Vernon and Armstrong are two of our best players, we will still have Spence back, which is huge. I don't think we have anybody to take Ray Ray's place, but we have a shitload of good defensive ends. Vernon will be missed, but not that much.

Something tells me this is just about the worst we see. Even the FBI says we shouldn't be penalized in their official statement. This Shapiro scumbag didn't just con trust fund babies out of their money, he conned some real savy businessmen. There is every reason to believe he was fully capable of conning UM, rather than UM conning the conman (which is the way the media is portraying it).
