    lol@ Johnny Manziel. if true(probably is) he is such an idiot. it would be funny if he cant play at all this season.

    He's gonna find a way to ruin everything he has going for him..

    Which is true for many big shot college athletes. I kinda hope that he goes into the big leagues and Tebow's. I just love how all the gaggies are like "poor Manziel"... as if he is being persecuted for being awesome or something... Um no, I can remember it happening to one or two of my Alma Mater's top players a few years ago... only it was with a car dealership and it wasn't shady as f**k.

    Ohio State will be like Notre Dame from last year. Stay ranked, play in the National Championship game and get decimated.

    I heard the SEC is going to send one of their lower tiered teams to play the the best players from each Big Ten School - what they are referring to as an All-Star Team for charity.

    The SEC??? Isn't that a collection of overgrown community colleges with jails attached for the athletes?

    The difference between the Big Ten and the SEC is that the SEC cares about the difference.

    IF the Big 10 were WINNING, then it would matter.

    The difference, which the big ten pretends to not care about:

    If the football players from the SEC were making the news for academic excellence instead of criminal mischief then maybe it would matter.

    Cam Newton still does not have a degree. Denard Robinson does. Go figure.

    *smh* Now that's funny... Even still, the news channels up here are just now starting to talk about it.. and the local ag fans (alum or not) are all up in arms as if he were the ONLY QB to be investigated for things where money was involved. OU QB Rhett Bomar was kicked off the team back in 2006 for "working" at a local car dealership... but I don't remember all the details about that.

    Actually, I am mildly surprised that OU didn't make it into the top ten... but that's only because they had been up there for a while, but they did suck it big time last year and the only highlight was beating Texas.

    pre-season polls do more harm than good. It's based on nothing on-the-field and everything about guessing and last year. If a good team gets ranked around 50, they are going to have a difficult road to try to get to the MNC simply because they started so low. I am a proponent of not having any polls until week 1 of October. At least base it on SOMETHING from this year.

    meh, he and another OL (iirc) got paid for hours they didn't work by a known booster at a local car dealership. They had the paper trail on that one though. Small stuff really.

    Exactly. Pre-season polling is the ONLY reason Auburn was not the 2004 national champions. Pre-season #1 and #2 never lost, so nobody else had a chance. It is bs to declare which teams will get to play assuming a perfect season before the season even starts.

    BTW - I am going to be upset if Manziel get's suspended and denies me the chance to revel in (almost) certain sophomore suckitude.

    dude, we run a mickey mouse offense with better personnel than almost anyone who has ever run a mickey mouse offense. No way he goes downhill with more experience in the offense.

    The only thing that kills this offense is if the new WR's we have don't pick it up. And if they do, we have just as fast and talented wideouts with several that are 6'3" plus and can run. We could be scary good on O, and I'm not even talking about our true strength, which is RB and OL.

    Yeah... but what my point is is that IF Manziel is found "guilty" of taking money from someone for his autograph and suspended... He is not the first nor will he be the last College athlete that has been taken down for going against the NCAA rules about money. But it is fun seeing all the aggies being all butthurt over it. Because we are all haters because he is a winner. *snickers*

    I'm sorry that all you see are work horses whose only purpose in life is to win games for your team. So if thats how you feel then we can agree to disagree.

    Its college football. These are young men and human beings. The reason people attend college is to get an education. If you happen can get a championship ring during the process, then thats an excellent bonus. Its people like yourself that only care about one thing and the mentality that the end justifies the means that keep perpetrating the thug mentality. But I guess there hasnt been enough football movies that cover this topic already.

    So, we can either care about the student athlete as a whole person or you can just care about what they do only ON the football field like in the case of Aaron Hernandez:

    First-team All-American
    First-team All-SEC
    National Champion
    John Mackey Award Winner

    When you argue how awesome you are at beating everyone else in the country (at what cost). Clearly that conference is producing top notch quality human beings that contribute greatly to society.

    The next time they show a human interest piece regarding players giving back to the community you should switch the channel and talk about how its insignificant because all that matters is winning games and championships. Screw the little kid who just beat cancer.

    I would think most people attend college to get paid. Just making a gamble that it will pay off in the future. Few people like being educated for their own self edification.

    Hahaha, so true - the Big Ten is a great conference no doubt, though when it comes to Football there is no comparison to the SEC. OSU and Michigan would be decimated playing an SEC schedule year in and out - the injuries would be insurmountable compared to the Big Ten. My favorite team is Kentucky and we lose 8-10 players annually for the season - if not more, because of the non-stop intensity of the league.
