College football D-Day 10/12/15

- Steve Sarkisian fired @ USC for showing up to "multiple practices" and at least one game drunk. Tried to show up to the practice facility hammered yesterday and was escorted off the premises, AD Haden then proceeded to call Sark and says he was clearly drunk over the phone. Haden issued Sark a "leave of absence" after this phone call yesterday, fired him today.

- Will Grier, successful starting QB at Univeristy of Florida, is suspended for a full calendar year for testing positive for PEDs. Grier failed the NCAA random drug test that was issued at UF 2+ weeks ago, was allowed to play until the test was ran a second time with more a stringent testing method - which he failed. Grier held a teary-eyed press conference today admitting the purchase and consumption of some form of PEDs. The exact drug has yet to be leaked to the public, although there has been speculation. Fans of opposing teams are angry because UF supposedly knew of the failed test for 2+ weeks and allowed Grier to play.

- SI reports USCe and future college football hall of fame coach Steve Spurrier is retiring. Unfortunately this is the only info that has been leaked so far. The timetable for his "retirement" is still up in the air. EDIT: sources have reported and confirmed that the retirement is effective immediately, with an interim coach to be named tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. LINK /


I'm putting this here so we have our own place to discuss this without all the troll/flame posts of the SECr diluting the thread.

Thoughts on any of the above?
