Well NFL isn't letting Mixon go to the combine.  I'm no mixon apologist but seems ####ty the league wants to screw with him instead of give him a chance. Goodell could bring him in and put him on a zero tolerance policy with domestic violence but screwing with him after he went through the courts as an 18 year old seems over the top.

I'm surprised, but I shed no tears for Mixon.

Steve Sarkisian is set to become the Falcons’ offensive coordinator, according to a report from Huffington Post sports columnist Jordan Schultz.

That was quick.

Not good from the standpoint of the upside I think he had and the continuity.  Huge risk for Sark too.  But Saban will have options and has won with guys like Doug Nussmeier.  Assume the new guy will be west-coast styled.  Timing is also good.

I wonder if we won't see Rick Neuheisel back into coaching as OC?

He seems to be openly campaigning on his show, but I don't think he's a candidate in this case.  A bunch of names are out there now, his isn't one.

 
STATEMENT ON INVESTIGATION OF SEXUAL ASSAULT COMPLAINT CONNECTED TO FOOTBALL PROGRAM (FEB. 9, 2017)

The three student-athletes under investigation have been suspended from team activities and removed from on-campus housing pending the conclusion of the police and Title IX investigations.

As part of the criminal investigation, detectives are interviewing members of the coaching staff and other relevant individuals regarding their response since the complaint was made in late January.

Sparty meltdown continues.  Many rumors about who the 3 were.

 
Looks like Bama is hiring Brian Daboll as OC...from Belichick's staff, who he was apparently grooming to take over for McDaniels when he leaves.  New Bama Fan chant is obvious...'Run Daboll!'.  Will also be pro-style I'm sure.

I like it.  Hopefully he stays for a few

 
Can I ask a serious question?  I consider myself a decent college football fan; I know my strengths and more importantly my weaknesses.  I saw Eric Dickerson play for SMU, Herschel Walker in the Cotton Bowl, been to the Rose Bowl....

I have no idea who Paul Finebaum is or why he is relevant to college football.  He looks like an 8th grade Latin teacher.  Why does he matter.  Like, at all.  I don't know why I'm supposed to care about this guy. Did he play?  Coach?  Is he a writer?  What does he do?  I do not get it.

He's basically a radio form of Jerry Springer. He brings on guests from the worst parts of fanbases and lets them embarrass themselves for ratings. That's essentially it.  

 
The fact that Finebaum tears in Michigan more than most other schools and gets them all hot and bothered by itself is cause enough for his existence.

:confused:   The Michigan fanbase, along with the rest of the country is laughing at him.  It's about as far away from "hot and bothered" as the north pole is from the south pole...well, unless you take a select few and project them to the greater sum.

As I said, I look forward to Finebaum's ranting and raving over Taggert hiring Johnson as the WR coach (the new rumor and most likely scenario) should it happen.  I'm sure he's just trying to look out for the student athletes and "integrity" of NCAA football :lol:

Of course he does.  That wasn't disputed, just the part that his talking about them left them "hot and bothered"  :shrug:

Exactly, and a lot of his guests are actors.  College football is 24/7 , 365 in the south on radio...they need help filling the time.

I know a ton of Michigan fans and I've never once heard them mention this guy. What are you talking about?

Pete Finebaum talks about Michigan because no other team in the Big 10 gets ratings, unless they get caught for cheating.

No one in the LA school system wanted their kids best option being Orgeron.

Seriously though he's supposedly been a problem for a while.

Yeah, that's not the only reason he was fired.  Guy's been pissing people off for years.   I have little doubt though that denying the #1 program in the country access to his players was a bad idea.

Ole Miss paid some kid 13k and then he went to another school anyways.

:yes:

Buddy in sports talk here was telling me some crazy #### they can't talk about on he radio due to sources and whatnot. Mid 6 figures to a pair of brothers... Freese prob gone this week and likely looking at 4-8yr show cause... 2yr bowl ban... scholarships... all kinds of goodies rumored to be coming. Haven't been watching twitter today since talking so no idea what has or hasn't come to a head.

As with all things NCAA, believe when you see it.

We'll see it...when the NCAA sends 2 NOAs and charges include LOIC, they will close the deal.  And Ole Miss has actually admitted to several major violations.

People will look back on recruiting rankings in 10 years and wonder who this 'Ole Miss' is.

It's pretty widely spread at this point that Nkimdeche was a $250k payout. 

Im kinda glad Clemson lost out on that one anyway - worked out for the best.
