cabiness42 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 ITS. ALMOST. HERE. ---- Iowa State has sold over 42,000 season tickets for this season. That'd have to be top 25 for preseason season ticket sales, wouldn't it? Probably. At ND, season tickets are restricted to students, faculty, and full-time staff above a certain level, so it's never anywhere near that figure.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Ball State just installed a video replay board FINALLY, and our season kicks off in a couple days! I should follow the team more than I do (which is very minimal now that my buddy graduated), but I've heard we are supposed to have our best team since our undefeated regular season 4 years ago. Also, Pete Lembo was voted #1 head coach in NCAA that "you need to know". We saw Brady Hoke had success and then get a huge job in Michigan, so I am wondering if Lembo could have a similar fate if this team gets another bowl game. We were a missed FG away from getting a BCS bowl game last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meyer's a scumbag. And now silly on top of it - not allowing media/nfl scouts etc to wear blue to practices. OMG rivalry! Telling grown men what to wear - right. Like Tressel, Bruce and Woody before him. Let the media tell you how big of a story it is. I'm sure you have a real issue with Brady Hoke not letting people wear red. The Gators are on the same arrest pace as they were when Meyer was there, in fact a bit ahead of it at the moment. While at the same time Meyer is punishing his players at OSU well beyond what is industry standard. So it is a Meyer issue or a Florida issue? The Rolling Stone article said he "may" have covered something up. Poor reporting as pointed out by several folks already. Not sure how you can be fired for one reporters opinion. The only legit quotes they have really point urban as a scumbag And (Meyer) tried, God knows, to convert Hernandez; did everything short of an exorcism. “But there’s only so much you can do in three years,” says John Hevesy, Hernandez’s position coach with the Gators and now a coach at Mississippi State. ----- Meyer brought him in for face-to-face meetings, reading Scripture in his office each morning. He assigned Mike and Maurkice Pouncey, twin All-American linemen, to baby-sit Hernandez, and detailed Tim Tebow, the truest of believers, to be his life instructor. But even Tebow couldn’t save him from himself once Hernandez got a few beers in his system... Edited August 28, 2013 by RockRaines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 If the SEC dished out real punishments, they wouldn't win the national championship every year. Of course their alumni also probably wouldn't go on to commit multiple homicides, but then by that point it's no longer their problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 So if he didn't do anything what is he suspended for? If he did something why is he suspended only one half? Devier Posey got 5 games for being paid 3.00 extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liucci speculates that Manziel's violation could be a minor one, suggesting bylaw 12.5.2.2, which requires players to "take steps to stop" others making money off them "without the student-athlete’s knowledge or permission." So: a plea deal in everyone's best interests. http://deadspin.com/reports-johnny-manziel...utes-1216681365 So you are supposed to take steps to stop people from making money off of you without your knowledge or permission.

zenryan Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 what a joke. NCAA protecting the SEC once again. Manziel should either be suspended for games or nothing at all. Meanwhile, Miami is still waiting on their judgement 2.5 years after the NCAA started their investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
