What the hell is OSU doing in a bowl with all their NCAA violations? Who'd they blow to get there?

Shhhh Brookie, it's ok. They lost ugly. They are banned from bowls next year, the NCAA waited until Dec 20 to make a decision, a little too late to affect this year's bowl games.

Ook. We've known about their violations for MONTHS. But this is the same NCAA who "condoned" Sandusky's behavior at Penn State too, so I shouldn't be surprised.

I think it's the cumulative number of stupid things for Ohio St. When you really look at each individual infraction (putting aside Tressel's deficiencies) it was ridiculous. The summer jobs one - said the player (Posey I think) job duties didn't warrent the salary. They said he worked & earned something like $750 but got paid like $800. None of the players got rich out of this idiocy, no one's parent's were living in mansions, no stripper abortions were paid for. Actually I think the Ohio St. case has highlighted a lot of the punitive nature of the NCAA rules.

As an Ohio St. fan, I have no problem with the sanctions, etc. because rules are rules, but many of the violated rules are unbelievably stupid (with the exception of Tressel's failure to report/monitor).

Unfortunately, even if you don't like the rule you just violated, it's still a violation.

Well my Huskers got their asses handed to them by South Carolina. Better luck next year, I guess. My brother flew to Florida to watch the game. I hope he is drunk and enjoying the warm weather, since he lives in Maryland.

Michigan State over Georgia 33-30 in the third overtime (Outback Bowl). It looked for a while like nobody wanted to win this one.

Iowa State and Iowa stunk it up! At least the Hawks got beat by 3 more points than we did! lol

What was up with Coker not getting to play? He get busted for something, or was it his grades?

I was VERY happy with this game. I have several relatives who went to Michigan State and I hate UGA on General Principle, so I was ecstatic when they lost.

The fanciest mallards Nike has ever seen fit to accessorize won the Rose Bowl yesterday, blinding chrome helmets and all. Much rejoicing and feather preening was had.

I'll be a nice Auburn fan and offer up my best wishes to nancydrew and Sylkyn tonight for the BCS title game!

Roll Tide Laurent!

ETA: LSWHO? Ohhhh how impressive was that game? Didn't let them past the 50 more than one time. If Jefferson didn't suck a bag of dicks LSU would have had a chance and it would have been even closer. Roll motherfucking Tide baby!
