Oh-Oh, spaghetti-o's. Looks like Tim Floyd cheated at USC.

[Condem]

See ya, Tim. Typical PAC-10 bullshit.

[Capt. America]

1. Now if they would just "finish" the investigation against the Hairdresser and his

cheating with Reggie Bush and Matt Leinert.

[Upton]

2. "Typical PAC-10 bullshit."

I see...is this to say illegal payments, recruiting violations and an overall skirting of NCAA rules doesn't go on in other conferences.. maybe even, God forbid, the Big Ten?

[Condem]

4. You can say all you want about the win-loss records of the Big Ten, upton.

Now I know, America's Premiere Conference isn't perfect. However, it seems to me, this kind of rule skirting isn't as blatent in the Big Ten as it is in the other three Big conferences. Chalk it up to honest heartland values. Now, cue the soaring music.

[madinmaryland]

3. Sounds to me more like typical SEC crap.

:shrug:

[joeybee12]

5. Or crap that goes on in Florida...

...:evilgrin:

[Condem]

6. Tennessee, joey.

They've got so many infractions under Kiffin, that they're calling their own out to save time. Hilarious.

[TZ]

7. +1

:rofl:

[Condem]

9. Good to see, ya TZ!

It's been a while.

[TZ]

11. Thanks!

I've been reading more than posting...some of these threads have literally left me speechless (with laughter):)

[joeybee12]

8. Florida State

Tennessee has nothing against them...every single sports team is on probation.

[Condem]

10. What's the new Florida team in football.

Florida Atlantic? I lose track of them all down there. Anyhoo, they don't have a single player yet and they've already been called to the carpet. Just amazing.

[madinmaryland]

12. Isn't that Schnellenberger's school now? He got the infamous Miami

program started in the early 80s?

[joeybee12]

13. I always thought it was Jimmy Johnson who brought the criminally

insane to Miami which won all their titles in the 80's.

[madinmaryland]

14. Schnellenberger got the whole thing started...

From Wikipedia...

Schnellenberger arrived to a Miami program that was on its last legs, with the program having almost been dropped by the university just a few years prior. Drawing from the boot camp methodology learned from mentors Bryant and Shula and a pro-style pass-oriented playbook not yet the norm in Division 1 college football, Miami developed a passing game that allowed them to have advantage over teams not equipped to defend such an attack. By his third season at Miami, the team had finished the season in the AP Poll top 25 twice--something that had not happened there since 1966.

Schnellenberger revolutionized recruiting South Florida high school talent by building a metaphorical "fence around Miami" and recruiting only the "State of South Florida." His eye for talent in this area led to many programs around the nation paying greater attention to south Florida high school prospects. Under his "State of Miami" plan, Schnellenberger's teams took the best from the three-county area around the city, went after the state's best, then aimed at targets among the nation's elite recruits; it became a model of how to recruit in college football.<2><3><4>

He coached Miami to a National Championship in 1983, defeating Nebraska in the 50th Orange Bowl. Following the season, Schnellenberger departed for the USFL where he was to become head coach for what was to be a South Florida team--a relocated Washington Federals franchise. Not long after that announcement, however, the USFL announced that it would shift to a fall schedule. The owner-to-be for the Federals backed out of the deal, not wanting to compete against the NFL. A new backer moved the team to Orlando as the Renegades and decided not to retain Schnellenberger.

..snip

JJ followed Schnellenberger.

[joeybee12]

15. Oh, then I guess I have to hate Schnellenberger like I hate JJ

Thanks for the information!

[madinmaryland]

16. Jimmy Johnson. A coach who has won it all at both the college

and professional levels! Very few coaches have been able to do that. (i.e. Saban, Spurrier, etc.)

[joeybee12]

18. SPURRIER!!!!????

That's a typo, right?

[madinmaryland]

27. Shit! I meant to list coaches that failed at the PRO level.

[joeybee12]

29. I thought so! n/t

[TZ]

19. Greatest comeback in college football history

Is Maryland's Frank Reich leading the Terps to victory of Johnson's felonous, arrogant brat of a Miami team. I LOVED IT!

[joeybee12]

20. As much as I loathe the Spankees, YES Network often shows Flutie's

Hail Mary pass game that beat Miami! I could watch that forever!!!!

[trumad]

25. It's a shame when the only accomplishment a college team has is a hail mary pass

[joeybee12]

26. No, they have more accomplishments than that, and no, I am not a BC

fan or alum...I actually don't care for them...but you gotta root for anyone when they play Satan's minions.

[trumad]

31. Not really---

Have they ever sniffed an NC?

[joeybee12]

33. Naw, their incarceration rate is low.....

...they just can't compete.

[trumad]

44. You're starting to sound like Cboy

[joeybee12]

46. There's low and then there's...

THAT! That was uncalled for. :cry:

[trumad]

48. You're right--- My apolgies...

[joeybee12]

49. I would assume such a dastardly cooment might get one

Tombstoned! It's happened for less.

[trumad]

51. Don't know what got into me....

It's the new C Word.

[madinmaryland]

50. He's been referred to as cboy twice today!

[joeybee12]

52. Yeah, but by the SAME PERSON! n/t

[trumad]

24. Actually you guys are way off....

It was Lou Saban who started it all....

[madinmaryland]

28. Huh? Was Saban even coaching in the early 80s??

[trumad]

32. Lou---not Nick ...

[LisaM]

34. I remember reading an article either on ESPN or SI online

that said, and I paraphrase, "many football fans would be surprised to learn that Miami is actually a very academically well-regarded liberal arts college". I admit, I was one of those people. I was quite surprised to hear it!

[Condem]

17. Florida United or something like that.

There was an article in the NYTimes a couple of months ago. I think they start in 2010 or 11. I don't think it's Schnellenberger, though. But he did start one of the programs up, down there. Florida Something.

[Capt. America]

21. Florida International?

[joeybee12]

22. We have a winner!

that sounds right.

[Condem]

23. No, Capt.

They're already playing ball. This Florida U hasn't got a team, yet.

[Capt. America]

36. Are you certain they are going to be Division 1? Are they moving "up" from 1-A? What confernce are

they going to be in?

[Condem]

37. Not moving up.

A totally new school. SunBelt Conference rings a bell. I'll find it. It may take a while. But, I'll find it.

[Capt. America]

38. I just checked the 4-letter's conference page and I didn't see a "new" Florida team.

[Condem]

39. I'm going to have to dig in the Times archives, Capt.

I'm not making this shit up.

[Condem]

41. Florida-Gulf Coast is a possibility, Capt.

I'm digging.

[cboy4]

35. So much jealously of Tennessee

What a disgrace.

[Condem]

40. Nothing personal, cboy.

I know you're alum. But if this guy was my coach, I'd say I went to UT-Chattanooga.

[madinmaryland]

42. Nice post, Kiffen!

Are you bring the culture of losing really bad to the Volunteer state?

LOSER!

[madinmaryland]

43. Don't EVER claim to be a Tennessean, c-FRAUD!

You, my friend are a disgrace and a LOSER. Regardless of whether you went to school in Tennessee, you WILL never be from Tennessee.

Maybe it is time for you to STFU, and walk back over to the capital and have dinner with Arnold.

[TZ]

45. Jealousy? Lol

I'll take a proven winner like my boy Ralph Friedgen over loudmouth Kiffin anyday

[cboy4]

47. He's a nice young man

[Condem]

30. It's good to see ALL you here at The Dexter Lake Club.

Makes my day. Now hit it.
