  1. He never has to declare as eligible though. That can be advantageous.
  2. Lee Smith is absolutely a better blocker than he is given credit for on this site. As a receiving option he's a nightmare.
  3. Some guy who's been tweeting a ton of stuff lately, specifically regarding the Hughes deal.
  4. ...and we never heard from Julius Thomas again.
  5. 13. Bear Pascoe 14. Lance Kendricks 15. Tony Moeaki
  6. Walter Football has him as the #12 rated TE available, which is shocking.
  7. What a great episode! I love seeing the culture shock on the English faces when Lagertha made the sacrifice. The new mystery man already has me intrigued and hooked. Speaking of Lagertha, yowsa!
  8. Great effort by our guys today, especially Roberson. One thing I found odd was Cooney's mom crying at the end of the game when Cooney and Christmas were pulled. It was as if it were her son's last game. I read the whole report. I think (hope) they reduce the number of suspensions. I could care less about the vacated wins. Boeheim was willfully ignorant. When he hired a guy and essentially told him to do whatever he had to to get his players on the court, he knew what that might entail. Covering his eyes and ears and playing dumb is not a good enough excuse. I lost respect for Gross and Boeheim over the drug issue. Sure, they shouldn't have had the policy, but they did. Claiming that the drug policy (that the school created and implemented itself) was too complicated to understand is just pure arrogance.
  9. I know it's not a movie in this thread, but I just watched Foxcatcher and all I can say is wow. Carell and Tatum were both great, but I don't think Ruffalo got enough credit for his role. He was fantastic.
  10. Pasta, don't post whole articles, only a blurb and the link.
  11. I'll post when i get more time. It's bad. They pretty much got what they deserved. Hate saying it, but it's true. Edit : Ok. I haven't yet read the whole report, but Chris McManus (ESPN Syracuse) had. From 1 til now, he's been discussing all the violations in the radio, reading parts verbatim. Here are some of them off the top of my head. 1. Syracuse repeatedly discovered and ignored that players were in violation of the school's own designed and implemented drug policy. It is not an NCAA requirement to have one, but they do, so it should be followed. (IMO they should just get rid of the policy). 2. Some players received credits for interning at a YMCA and completing a certain criteria. This was essentially a no show job. When questioned, the students stories didn't match up with their part time tutor (aka the CEO of that YMCA). 3. The Director of Basketball Operation (i believe they said was hired by Boeheim) was tasked with many this. Including gathering every players email usernames and passwords so that he could communicate directly with faculty as if he was the player. 4. Student athlete 7 (cough cough Fab) needed to play but was a dumb f#@%. All of the department heads came together to figure a solution. They decided to find a class he barely passed the prior semester to up his grade by redoing a paper. They can't just make him though, so they had v to ask him to do it. A tutor essentially wrote the thing that he submitted as his own. So he cheated on a MAKEUPB paper! I'm pretty sure everyone knew it too if I remember what I heard correctly. 5. Some players received benefits. (I'm not as clear on this one.) 6. A coach received somewhere around $8000 for something. (Again, a little unsure if i heard correctly). I'll be reading the whole document tomorrow.
  12. You have no idea what you are talking about. Carry on though.
  13. He played really well in 2013 too.
  14. Good points. I also completely forgot that Rak comes off the books. Work at my office has come to a standstill because of this.
