So because I was 15 in 2002 means I can't have a valid opinion on it in 2011?

You were NOT 15 when Alabama was placed on probation in 2002, so no, you can't have a valid opinion since you didn't even know your correct age!

NCAA rolls Crimson Tide for violations

By John Zenor, The Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The NCAA placed Alabama on five years' probation Friday, jolting the program Bear Bryant built into a power with a two-year bowl ban and heavy scholarship reductions.

The governing body said it considered giving the Crimson Tide the most severe punishment — the death penalty — under the repeat violator rules for a recruiting scandal in which boosters were accused of paying money for high school players.

"They were absolutely staring down the barrel of a gun," said Thomas Yeager, chairman of the infractions committee.

"These violations are some of the worst, most serious that have ever occurred," he said.

The university, accused of 11 major violations — one was later withdrawn — and five minor charges under two former coaches, said it would appeal.

His bio from his own site..........

"Danny Sheridan has been involved with sports and the sports promotion business for more than 25 years. He has published college and pro football magazines, written about sports in a variety of national publications, and has been the host of a number of sports TV and radio shows.

A lifelong resident of Mobile, Alabama, and a graduate of the University of Alabama School of Business in 1969 Danny Sheridan is America's leading sports analyst and handicapper and USA TODAY's resident sports analyst both domestically and internationally for over 25 years providing the daily odds for all sporting events. When it comes to sport analysis and sports handicapper Danny is by far the best in the business.

This down home Southern boy loves his football, college football and boxing but when it comes to sports there is no better authority than Danny Sheridan which is best evident is his testimony of before the Senate Commerce Committee Amateur Sports Integrity Act (S. 718).

Danny has written exclusively for USA Today since the paper’s inception in 1982. For USA Today, he sets the daily odds on every sport along with political and esoteric odds – for example, will Alan Greenspan lower the interest rate, and if so, by how much?

His sports and political predictions have appeared on all 3 Networks ABC, CBS, & NBC; also ESPN, CNN, WTBS, & CNBC, and nearly every major newspaper and radio station in the United States. Danny is not just a sports analyst but friends with many high profile college and NFL coaches as well as many NFL and NBA owners. "

that ruins his credibility right there

In Danny's defense, he did not say they would GET a tv ban, and he said this several times. The NCAA guy he talked to told him that a tv ban would be discussed very seriously in this case. He made sure to make a point to get that across, that it was going to be discussed, not that he was predicting it in anyway.

And to the people yelling he is a bammer, he was steadfast in his opinion that LSU was a better team than Alabama this year. I have also heard him be VERY critical of Alabama in the past. Not everyone that mentions Cam Newton and the NCAA in the same sentence together is a bammer.

You realize that OSU is looking at close to that number aimed at Pryor alone right? You are so talented and smart you can type some shite in the google bar and copy and paste stuff yet you lack the intelligence to compare it to the current situation in Ohio.

intelligence

not a word used on the SECr that often



So.....any actual facts or "smoking gun" found yet? Banhammer Presser at 4?

Finebaum graduated from Tennessee. Have you ever heard him say ANYTHING that could even be REMOTELY taken as homerism for them?

I'm not saying Sheridan is being a homer, but people calling him a "bammer" aren't just making shite up. It is a fair point to make considering he graduated from Bama. That is the only point I was trying to make.

Let it rest while it runs its course.

Sheridan has always seemed to call it straight and does a decent job of predicting teams success.

This is my point exactly. He is about as unbiasd as it gets.

You cant call someone a bammer just cause they graduated there. Just like what you said about Finebaum, he isnt a Tenn fan just cause he went there.

OSU is way past UofA as far as rules violations.+ they lied repeatedly to NCAA. It could be bad or worse, who knows?
