I agree in that I feel Auburn and Newton are guilty, but I also think action shouldn't be taken until guilt is proven. Newton was clearly the best athlete this season, and if he's found guilty, then take the Heisman away. If Auburn is found guilty - vacate the wins.
But until then, I don't find it fair to punish Newton or Auburn with only the presumption of guilt.
Oh I was talking about much more when I said Auburn is going down. Newton is just the tip of the Iceberg. With one of their big boosters being looked at by the FBI and he is going down it is going to drag Auburn down with them.
Muschamp wants to get Kirby Smart as DC from 'Bama
Not sure my Dawg heart can take all of these Dawgs with the Gators

Hey...you can't blame them for wanting to be associated with a decent SEC East school at least once in their lives, can you?

Gators can't find anybody worth a sneeze from Florida to hire now that Spurrier is gone
They know where to go to get quality material... Dawg alums!
Dammit! You flipped my insult! But it makes ya wonder why none of them ever come back to Athens, huh? Oh...I forgot about the heralded OC you have there now...good ole Bozo..er..Bobo. But I hope y'all keep him there, because as long as UGA has him, at least we know they will always STOP doing what works for them offensively in the 2nd half, and any time inside the 20 yd line. It's like he has an alarm set or something...."halfway through the 3rd quarter? Let's throw out what's been working all game!" Or.."we've run the ball down their throat and we are inside the 20? Let's throw 3 incomplete passes and take a field goal!"

Hmmmmm, Bobo's offense averaged 39 points a game
About a touchdown more than Paul Johnson's offense
Lol. Look at the players UGA has though. You really think that Johnson couldn't score more points per game with that kind of talent? I could be wrong, but I'd say that'd be one heck of a potent team. But then again, I don't know if we can recruit those caliber of players with a triple-option offense. So, I guess it works both ways. But I do question Bobo's ability...afterall, this is the same guy (along with Richt) that told Cam Newton he'd have to play tight end if he came to UGA.
In all seriousness though, what do you think the chances are that Smart will come with him to UF? Would that be a good career move for him to leave Saban and be "out on his own", so to speak? I've seen many people saying that Alabama's defense is more "Saban" and less "Smart" than it appears to be (I don't follow them closely enough to know).

Muschamp grew up a Gator, so in a way he was a traitor for going to UGA in the first place.

A player is ineligible if he is represented by an agent, and an agent is defined by the NCAA as anyone who tries to get compensation for the player in exchange for playing at a certain institution. By rule, Cam Newton is guilty because his father (his "agent") has been found to have solicited at least one school for money in exchange for Cam's commitment to play at the school.
The fact that the NCAA disregarded its own rules is what makes this thing so ridiculous. So incredibly ridiculous.
We all know what's going to happen here because we just saw it happen to USC. **** the NCAA. Seriously. The big schools should just get together and secede altogether, make their own rules (and actually make them binding evenly to every player and every institution), and form their own sports association. If they want to pay the players and can afford to do so, fine by me. But the hypocrisy is staggering, infuriating, etc.
The whole nit picking, hair splitting point is the NCAA has gotten around this by saying Cecil acted on his own and not as a representative of Cam because Cam knew nothing about it
Sniff, sniff... something smells
Cam has a stolen computer in his possession
Cam cheats multiple times at Florida
His dad pimps him like a
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
They wanted to make sure a BCS title game would garner more ratings than a paint drying contest. That would have been a high bar for an Oregon-TCU matchup.
Roll Ducks Roll!
I agree. I would love to see the NCAA go away. Of course, the SEC isn't any better. Mike Slive said he agreed with the NCAA decision and he didn't violate any conference by-laws. I'll try to dig up the SEC bylaw that, as has been pointed out many times, he violated. Slive is slime.
Speaking of Auburn, the Washington Post is reporting that Gus Malzahn has accepted the Vanderbilt head coach job.
We also lost a coach as Louisiana-Lafayette hired our wide receivers coach to be their head coach. I'm glad he was the only one.
Edit: Yet more coaching news. Miami has hired Temple's Al Golden as its new coach. That one came out of left field.

Ah, now I see
The U got the two confused, they thought they were pursing Gruden
But instead, they got Golden
Somebody said, "I think Golden would take the job"
They heard, "Gruden" and said "do it"
Miami Hurricanes name Al Golden coach
5 years at Temple
1-11 (FBS)
MAC record
4-8 (4th in East)
5-7 (3rd in East)
9-4 (T-1st in East)
8-4 (3rd in East)
Gators get Muschamp, one of the hottest names in coaching
Hurricanes get Golden, huh??

Golden definitely isn't a flashy hire, but he could end up being a solid pick. That being said, I saw somewhere yesterday that his Temple teams never beat a MAC opponent with a winning record. Sounds like the Baylor method of earning respect.
In other small team news, it looks like Northern Illinois is going to hire Wisconsin DC Dave Doeren as their new head coach today. Great news for Doeren, a really good guy who played college football at (then D-III) Drake with my brother back in the 90s.

My bad... I put the Big East... when it was really the East of the MAC
I was giving too much credit
And that's tough to do with the Big East

Not to nitpick, but they are actually in the MAC. Temple got kicked out of the Big East a few years ago because they were so bad. That should say something about how bad they were before Golden got there. I guess they figure if you can win at Temple, of all places, you can win anywhere. I guess we'll see.

Hey, anybody who has played EA's NCAA Football games knows this is the way to do it. I would always take over a bad team, schedule patsies, and get a winning record. This would allow you to get more recruiting points and better recruits. See also, SEC OOC scheduling methods.

The difference here is that Temple didn't necessarily schedule patsies, they just failed to beat anyone who wasn't one. Hard to believe the guy was there for five years and never had a conference win over a .500+ team.

I have to disagree with you. You know, a lot of people in life enjoy challenges and not taking the easiest paths to success. Also, while the SEC is tough, if you win the conference, you are a lock to the NC game with a good record, and a BCS game if you win your division and have a good record.
Hey, when your program has a 43% winning percentage, you take what you can get. Believe me, I can sympathize with them.

How the mighty have fallen
Florida State took the Gators and the U to the woodshed this year
They appear to be the program on the rise in the state
A) Define "good record"
B) Tell that to Auburn's 2004 team
Again, define a "good record" and tell it to South Carolina this year. The truth is that an undefeated record (or a one-loss record in most seasons) from the SEC, Pac-10, Big 10, Big 12, or even ACC will get you into the BCS Championship Game more often than not. The SEC is the best conference, but not by such a wide berth that its winners are automatically chosen over others. Also, the fact that OU (and Texas last year) hasn't win the big one lately doesn't take away from the fact that they get there all the time despite not being in the SEC.
By all indications, Florida tried to steal a bigger names away from someone (Stoops, Petrino, Harbaugh, Mullen, etc.) but ended up hiring a coordinator. A good one, for sure, but not the "big splash" guy all the idiots in the media assumed they would get. They didn't steal a big-time head coach away from a power program, but instead got a guy who was sick of waiting on the better job he had already taken "in waiting."

I'm sure the Sun Belt would love to have you.
