Ha, good luck with that.

They really need to go back to their '90s designs, those were the best:

Well, maybe not the drop shadow. But the rest was great.

Those look like the Colorado unis from the 80's, which we ripped off from UCLA.

Best FSU costumes I've seen. Apparently these two girls work in the athletics dept. The fact that they got Jimbo to take the picture with them is amazing.

You should stop by the Terrapin brewery. They make the best beers in the south, in my opinion (better than Sweetwater, Cigar City, and Swamphead -- all of which are great).

Dawg-GAF: heading to Athens tomorrow. My first trip there.

Enjoy! There was actually a thread on one of the SBNation blogs of some military guys that weren't UGA fans that went down earlier this season and it had recommendations from locals. I'm only there once a year and have my spots I go to, but as far as new things I don't know what's up to date. This is the EDSBS thread and here's one from a Rebel fan posted at Dawg Sports.

Apparently Trappeze is one of the best bars there now if you're a beer afficianado. But really, there's so many bars there and they're all so close that if you don't like one, just move on to the next. Easy to bar hop there.

The Flagpole has a good guide to the city.

I live in Georgia and even though I'm a Gator fan, Athens is a blast. I have a ton of friends that go to UGA. Have fun!

I think Saban has watched too much LSU film. He's starting to answer questions like Les Miles:

Saban was informed by a reporter that some perceive him to be "curmudgeonly." His response did not disappoint.
- "I don't know what that word means. I don't think it's accurate and I'm not sure I care and I didn't really even know that. I appreciate the insight. I don't think that people that know me would say that. I don't think the players here would say that. I don't know if that's something that gets created somewhere outside of here. It's not especially complimentary I wouldn't think. I understand the words that I understand. I didn't really understand that one. I've learned a lot today."

It makes more sense if you put it this way:

"I don't know what that word means." - reporter defines the word for him - "I don't think it's accurate and I'm not sure I care and I didn't really even know that. I appreciate the insight. I don't think that people that know me would say that. I don't think the players here would say that. I don't know if that's something that gets created somewhere outside of here.

Still doesn't affect this little nugget:

I did say more sense, not complete sense!

He was definitely rambling on with that answer. Maybe that extra year getting tacked on is getting to him.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Still doesn't affect this little nugget:

To be fair, the only words they teach in SEC land are "speed" and "week in, week out".

Again, ASU can't kick fieldgoals so if we win it's almost certain to be by 4 or more, not less. so 7 is my pick.

Also, I think UCLA's D is enough to slow down Arizona a come away with a win, placing them in charge of their own destiny after USC get gashed by Oregon.

Shutdown Fullback: Jaguars version

And at the end, these guys walked away from the interview because it was "gay" to go pick up girls.

I really don't see what's so god awful about it. Even if you can't stand the socks that's such a small part of the whole thing. My biggest issue with it is just, as somebody else mentioned, the shade of blue they're using. One of the worst parts of this whole uniform trend IMO are schools that are wearing colors that don't match their official colors so you can barely tell who the hell is who when they're on the field.

::edit::
Crap, double posted.

Anyone have any good links to articles about recent-ish stuff (USC, tOSU, PSU, etc.)?

Not asking for you guys to do my homework for me or anything, just curious if you guys have seen anything noteworthy that might be relevant.

Only football? Because ASU baseball has a decent one that lead to a post season ban last year. As a matter of fact ASU has a lot of NCAA violations with not a damned thing to show for it.

You should write about that shocking Boise St thing where someone slept on a futon or something. Totally swept under the rug to protect the big-money Broncos.

In an odd turn of events, Alabama President Guy Bailey is apparently stepping down today. He was hired by Alabama away from Texas Tech last July and started working at Alabama in September. Going by the press release his stepping down is due to his wife's health.

His statement:

Today I have notified Chancellor Witt that I am stepping down as President of The University of Alabama. This is a decision my wife Jan and I made together after much discussion about how we can best address her health, which is the most important priority in our lives. By announcing this decision today, I hope the Board of Trustees will be in a position to take the next appropriate steps during its meeting in Tuscaloosa this week. We want to thank the faculty, staff, students, alumni and our many friends for your warm welcome. My family and I appreciate your understanding and your prayers.

Tommy Tuberville was on a local radio show today. He wants the Arkansas job so bad it's kinda sad.

Recent stuff only? UNC, Miami, Miami, Oregon, Cam Newton is a good one for the lack of sanctions, further back a bit FSU had some academic issues, not sure what happened with that, and free shoes way back in the day! and Bama textbooks. Just off the top of my head. Lots of things happen and seem to lead to nothing.

Gators had some issues with Charley Pell in the 80s. Switzer at OU. Really old School you could go SMU, or Tarkanian at UNLV. I'm sure there is plenty of other basketball stuff, and the USC stuff had a lot to do with Basketball anyways.

I'm trying to focus on more recent stuff, but it would probably be negligent to not mention some of the older, more famous violations.

I do think I'll use some stuff that didn't carry sanctions as well, just to show different sides of the spectrum.

The Tark stuff is worthwhile for the legal implications of the NCAA's relationship with member schools, public and private. Actually led to a pretty important Supreme Court Case.
