Niners Fan in CT Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 So all the football players were walking around yesterday giddy that they could skip class and/or practice and not be held accountable. I think that says it all. Pasquoloni was a trainwreck or a hire but these players also stink.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 This Saturday’s sold-out Navy-Air Force game in Annapolis could be in jeopardy. Hours after the government shutdown Tuesday morning, officials from the Naval Academy Athletic Association and Air Force Academy Athletics Department were not sure how it would impact the service academies’ football game at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. and CBS is scheduled to broadcast the game. Troy Garnhart, associate athletic director for Air Force, said there was a chance the game could not be played. “It is a possibility,” Garnhart said. Garnhart explained that upper-class cadets at the Air Force Academy are considered military personnel, which means they could be subject to travel restrictions under the shutdown. Scott Strasemeier, Naval Academy associate athletic director, could not confirm Tuesday morning whether the game will take place. The game is the first in a series of three sevice academy showdowns for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy. Navy and Air Force athletics officials expected to know more later today.

I'm going to say the NCAA, only because Congress will occasionally, by complete accident mind you, do something right, , , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Aww yeah. Ole Miss football players keeping it classy. About 20 Ole Miss football players were included in a large group of audience members who harassed and openly disrespected student actors during a University of Mississippi theater performance Tuesday evening, according to the school's student newspaper. The football players later apologized, reportedly at the request of the Ole Miss athletic department. The UM theater department was showing a production of "The Laramie Project," which is based on the 1999 murder of Matthew Shepard, an openly gay University of Wyoming student who was killed due to his sexual orientation. During the play, audience members engaged in "borderline hate speech." According to the play's director and theater faculty member Rory Ledbetter, some audience members used derogatory slurs like "fag" and heckled both cast members and the characters they were portraying for their body types and sexual orientations. Ledbetter said the audience's reactions included "borderline hate speech." The football players were apparently attending the play because of a freshman-level theater course requirement. The athletic department was made aware of their actions during the play, and one player delivered to the cast a note of apology on behalf of the group following the second act, according to the report. Although, theater department chair Rene Pulliam said she wasn't "sure the players truly understood what they were apologizing for." Ledbetter said the players weren't the only ones in the audience harassing actors, but they appeared to be leading the disruption. "The football players were certainly not the only audience members that were being offensive last night," Ledbetter said. "But they were definitely the ones who seemed to initiate others in the audience to say things, too. It seemed like they didn't know that they were representing the university when they were doing these things." In addition to allegedly hurling homophobic slurs at cast members, the performance report stated that some in the audience were "taking pictures of cast members while making fun of them, talking on their cell phones, hollering at the females in the cast and talking to other audience members during the acts."

John Austin Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 And over in Alabama, Ha Ha Clinton Dix suspended indefinitely for receiving 50 dollars from an assistant trainer coach who has ties to an agent. People are already calling for heads to roll in UA, but shouldn't they be ok, because they did identify it and assessed a punishment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Well, it was $500 dollars, but it will be fine, if his story is holds up to scrutiny. He'll sit a few games and that will be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisco Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I was hoping for so much more from Maryland today. EDIT: and apparently Coach Kill has another seizure on the sidelines, his second of the season. Might be time to give up the stress of coaching. Second EDIT: Seizure was not on the sidelines but in the morning before the Michigan game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisco Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Rutgers/SMU is the multi-OT game we get at least once a year. Heading into 3rd OT and there is barely anyone in the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Ga Tech running the Triple Option makes it mystifying that several NFL wide receivers came out of that program. Incredible ones to boot. Calvin Johnson and Demaryius Thomas. I guess Stephen Hill as well, but he's not them. Edit: I guess Johnson is pre-triple option, but my point sort of stands!
