UNC-CH class of '77. And my "son at Bama" is now a graduate of UA class of '13.

The fan base and the AD will be furious, but if they are smart they will support him in public because he is pulling in one heck of a '13 recruiting class. To fire him in season risks that. Now, if by signing day many of these 4&5* recruits flip, he is toast.
I will be the 13th man for A&M in that game. Would be good for the SEC for them to win big. Would help open Texas up to SEC recruiting and that would seal Brown's fate at Texas for good.
Miles is easy to spot. He's the guy bending down to grab a snack from the turf.

It was not until I read your post that I realized you had not been discussing Carolina, but instead meant South Carolina.

Because he failed a drug test administered by the Football team and athletic dept. Did you go to college? Did you take drug tests? I did, I didn't. Regular students can smoke all the dope they want with no consequences from the school. Got it?


Untrue.

If he failed a football related drug test 3 times and was dismissed, he would not be eligible to play NCAA ball at another school. HOWEVER, if the student honor court dismissed him from school, he could play.

FYI, most schools require students turned in for smoking post in their dorm or found in possession of small amounts of pot to take a drug ed course online, attend all classes, etc. IF they get caught again, they can be suspended and with repeated violations they can be dismissed. Now if HB was not attending classes and had prior drug offenses, that could be the reason.

If you had paid attention when in college, you'd have known about the honor code all school have.

I would say just as many. And I don't get the you didn't graduate from said school why are you a fan. I am going to go out on a limb and say most fans of the teams who are presently powerhouses did not attend said University.


From what I have observed living in South Florida, the average University of Miami fan's education level is a GED
I interned at LSU Medical School in the mid-1980's, but I root for Alabama in the SEC because me son goes there. I got my undergraduate degree from The University of North Carolina and my Masters from Eastern Kentucky (with an one year practicum at University of Kentucky Medical School). I am a Tarheel through and through.
LonghornLawyer makes excellant points, especially when he describes why UT fears the consequences of the aTm departure to the SEC.
Most probably due to injuries, but poor player attitude is a slight possibility. CLM must get last season in perspective and use it to motivate the players to focus on performing well on every play rather than winning games. LSU has the talent to go ATW. USCw is over-hyped, IMO.

This is an embarrassingly low-class comment. Taunting over sports is one thing, but making a joke about something this sad is pathetic. This man is a human being.
In the summer of 1967 I went to basketball camp at Campbell College. It was one of the few in the country at that time. Press ran the week long program with Hot Rod Hundley. During the week Pete came. A camp full of boys watched in awe as he put on a display of basketball skills we could not have dreamed of. I had seen the Globetrotters in person twice and seen their trick shots and basketball magic, but Pete was astonishing. If you were a kid in the 1960's growing up in ACC country, college basketball was the king. When I saw Pete and what he could do with the ball, I had seen a god. Remember that Julius Erving began college 2 years after Pete, so Pete was the first, and still the greatest, of all shooters and passers. I say this having watched Michael Jordan play at my college and David Thompson play at NC State. Pete was better than both of them in college. He was something special. I was 35 when he died and I cried like I was still that kid at Campbell College basketball camp many years before. A hero is not supposed to die.

I wasn't specifically talking about Les playing Lee. I just think Les's decision to stick with Jefferson no matter how bad he was playing was negative. Can you imagine if we were in the NC game in 2014 and Mett is having a bad game. Kiel is sitting on the bench knowing he could come in and help the team and Les doesn't give him a chance. Timing by Kiel to make the decision to go to ND speaks volumes.Could you imagine how much a coach that stands behind and stays committed to his starting QB would have a POSITIVE influence on a QB?


It never stops...it just never stops.
Here we go again....

Can't someone ban this stupid topic?
LSU is probably better off without Gunner, but the way he did it is terrible. IMO all of this started when the kids began the switch-the-caps routine when they declared. This showboating has degenerated into a complete lack of integrity in which keeping one's word is unnecessary. This total concern about "me" is disturbing, especially when someone is being sought out for a "team" sport. While Gunner is not the only example, he demonstrates how much egocentrism has become acceptable in athletics these days. He may have proved more disruptive than useful if he had come to LSU.
Stefon Diggs is still out there and uncommitted. LSU should go after him hard. I think that with the team ya'll have the next two years, you have a lot to attract him to your school. Plus, he'd be a monster receiver for you.
No. Schools are still limited to 25 scholarships for new students. However, since schools are limited to 85 scholarships at any given time, it opens up one. Additionally, if you have sscholarships left from last year and a HS senior graduated early and enrolls in school in January, his scholarship counts against last year's total, thus freeing up one of this year's 25.
I am a sports fan with passion and can understand being heartbroken. I have felt the bitter taste of defeat and will again, as will all who play or watch. However, some folks absolutely lose their minds in either defeat or victory, shouting hostile curses when their team loses and hurling gloating vulgar insults in victory. The decline of civility is shameful and it is present in fans from every school and pro team. Especially, by the way, in the Dook students in Cameron Indoor Stadium. They are proud of being the worst!
