Jared Poche, senior LHP at LSU. So far: 3-0, 22 IP, 4 hits, 0 ER, 15 K, 2 walks

Speak of the devil, Jones fired at LSU

Well, that was bound to happen. LSU, you're next. No doubt. He is a horrible, horrible coach. Seriously, everyone in this thread needs to click on this video to see how low LSU has sunk. This looks like something from a comedy movie, but it's legitimately from the start of a conference game:

Mizzou fired their coach

2 year bowl ban plus scholarships. Freeze suspension. I doubt he gets a show cause since he isn't really named in any of this. Don't forget 4 infractions that go back to Nutt, the gift that keeps on giving. Always fun punishing players for something that happened when they were eight years old.

I guess it's somewhat ironic that there's only one thing in this that involves that signing class that Freeze is talking about in that tweet. It concerns Austin Golson, an OT who transferred to Auburn, and the allegation is that he hunted two times on the land of a booster, which may be the lamest allegation in NCAA history.

Also, if it's USC level, that would be vindictive. The USC stuff involved impermissible benefits of over $300,000 IIRC. In total, after a four year investigation, they've got around $20,000 on Ole Miss. But it is what it is.

2 year bowl ban plus scholarships. Freeze suspension. I doubt he gets a show cause since he isn't really named in any of this.

Also forfeiting 7.8 million. sucks. Total impermissible benefits that were alleged to have been given out by boosters was $18,600. We'd have been better off covering up multiple gang rapes and paying off the victims. Whatever, you cheat and get caught. It is what it is. Accept whatever penalties and move on. Beyond Ole Miss, this does have the potential to really cause some issues within college football and the NCAA. Almost all of the information received in this NOA came from "immunity interviews", which is a brand new tactic used by NCAA investigators. Basically it just grants immunity against anything they admit to the NCAA (and they also don't ask the obvious question: "so you don't turned down this much money from school A but went to school B for free?"). Most of the NOA centers around Mississippi State linebacker Leo Lewis. Unfortunately for Ole Miss, the NCAA does not operate like a court of law. If it did, Lewis would have no credibility as a witness. There's an audio recording that Ole Miss possesses of Lewis' mother on the phone with one our coaches saying that LSU offered Leo X and MSU offered Leo Y and would Ole Miss match that offer. Following him signing with Mississippi State, Lewis foolishly put this on snapchat: So the point is, regarding the overall college football landscape, we may be entering a Brave New World and I'm pretty sure most coaches don't like the precedent being set where players from rival schools are given immunity to basically rat on their rivals. It is interesting to note that nothing in this is about Tunsil. Kinda figured there'd be something in there due to that draft night fiasco.

Yeah, an understated passive aggressiveness is about as ugly as I can imagine KB getting.

It makes me at least mildly skeptical that KB didn't figure it out and was playing along a bit. But who cares, it's still funny. Yeah, I dunno. Part of me thinks that and then part of me thinks that KB is just such a nice dude that he's not going to be an ass and is the type that goes along to get along.

Works especially well with Maddux, a man who looks the farthest thing from being an elite athlete.

That's awesome

As I said, in the South you kinda have to cross state lines or go great distances to find your rivals. An equivalent to the French Quarter isn't walking distance from Wrigley. Make no mistake, it's a genuine rivalry and can get really ugly.

I feel like Atlanta has claimed the "everything of the South" at one point or another. "1864's largest pile of smoldering rubble of the South"

As an outsider, this always seems like one of the most forced "rivalries." Like if somebody was REALLY invested in the Cubs and Pirates clashing simply because they technically played in the same division. It's not forced. There aren't many large cities in the Deep South. Thus the rivalry. You'd have to live down here to get it, I guess.

Atlanta hasn't been burned like that since 1864

Like Matt Bush http://southparkstudios.mtvnimages.com/shared/downloads/images/season-9/905/905_randy-arrested.jpg

This is bWAR, not fWAR, though Fangraphs only has him slightly higher at 19.0 I see now. Regardless, that's pretty low for a guy with 300 HR.

Kinda surprised to see Burrell with so low an fWAR. He put up some pretty strong offensive numbers throughout his career. Although I guess that was the only thing he did well.

Bama got 21 of the ESPN Top 300 today. 13 of the Rivals Top 100.

I can't believe that kid didn't have any other options. It shouldn't take much critical thinking to deduce that if Bama doesn't give enough of a crap to hold a spot for you, you're never ever ever going to play there. It's ok, though, no one will give a rat's ass that Saban screwed over yet another kid in October when he's in the title hunt again. Wonder how much longer it'll be before 4-stars are walking on at Bama. How ridiculous. Yo kid, delay your college education for six months (kid isn't enrolling til spring 2018 semester), and then come ride the pine and maybe you'll get a scholarship at some point in a year or two. wonder if this is how Saban has now had his 7th straight no.1 signing class.

One of Saban's best friends, Mark Emmert, is the President of the NCAA. Must be nice.
