Be the cliché you want to see in the world.

So much to read between the lines with this LSU team bar brawl story!  What a great socio/politico/economically loaded story placing front and center the value a relatively small southern city places on their much revered football team.

Don't want to jump to too many conclusions but I will.  Supposedly much of the team checked in, then broke curfew.  Many of those at the bar were under 21.  LSU made sure attorneys were present prior to speaking to police.  Les Myles has essentially already made multiple veiled apologies to the fans and community in general.  Clearly, there are a number of guilty parties from the team involved.  Charges of 2nd degree battery (felony) and simple battery (misdemeanor) will be made to individuals according to the Baton Rouge Advocate.

Myles state that this will take time to sort out ;D ;D ;D  Oh man, if only I could be a fly on the phone and email for communication between the LSU AD, Myles, law enforcement, the media and the "general public voice."  Will it be a bunch of settled misdemeanors?  How many booster bribes have already gone down?  Does a competitive SEC football team mean more to the general public (LSU fans not directly affected by the brawl) then any small amount of justice doled out?

Yes that was a lot of speculation but I hope this is another story that helps to continually expose the hypocrisy of the NCAA as the long ago led astray, dirty cash cow that it is.

Ruckus, are you trying to imply another SECheat school could be getting off lightly???   ::)

Oh my, that is really bad.

Or maybe they're with me on my love for this record:


"...it's gonna be great -- I mean me coming back with the band and playing all those hits again"

Tennessee loses another 5 star before the season even starts because he can't stay away from the Mexican Marlboros. 

Just Great, way to kill the fever before the season even starts.  Thanks a lot Janzen Jackson, way to let an entire fan base down, not to mention all of your teammates.

13 BCS Title games and the SEC has won 7 (Let's make it 8 since undefeated Auburn should get the 2004 one vacated by USC)    :thumbsup:

Everyone always hates on the best.

here's some more:

An eyewitness says she saw LSU starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson kick someone in the face during a bar fight that injured four people last week.

The account from 19-year-old Victoria Long was included in a police report released Thursday, a day after police seized 49 pairs of athletic shoes from Jefferson's apartment. Baton Rouge police Sgt. Don Stone wouldn't explain why police took the shoes.

Doesn't everyone own 49 pairs of sneakers?  ::)  Sounds like Myles will have more to worry about than just this bar fight. Could be the tip of the iceberg ala Ohio St.

Great story on espn.com. The Kent State players have been helping our Bama boys rebuild houses in Holt. I can't even begin to explain how much of a healing force football has been and continues to be here in Tuscaloosa. It's awesome.

ROLL TIDE!

Speaking of Roll Tide ... my dad's side of the family all hail from T-town and I was raised a 'bama fan but alas, I went to the orange side. My grandmother passed away in July and today at work I was making a disc of old pictures and came across this one. Me and my cousins all decked out in our Alabama shirts  ;D

Great pic, Brooke!  Do I know which one is you?

from The Onion

Top 2011 College Football Matchups

Another great college season is upon us, and Onion Sports analysts have made their picks for the year's most thrilling games.

Nebraska at Wisconsin, Oct. 1: The Huskers will be welcomed into the Big Ten with some hard-nosed defense and a small slice of Angel food cake

Wisconsin at Ohio State, Oct. 29: Sure to be a good game, possibly for Big Ten superiority but almost certainly to determine which of these two teams will eventually get its ass kicked in a bowl game by a mid-ranked SEC team

LSU at Alabama, Nov. 5: This matchup could decide which team goes to the national title game, or maybe they will both lose all their games before this, or maybe we will all get a deadly flu virus and die

Texas at Texas A&M, Nov. 24: Heralded Texas schools make yet another attempt at breaking the record for most Garretts on a field at once

Alabama at Auburn, Nov. 26: Latest chapter in storied 118-year-old rivalry will settle once and for all which team is the winner of this year's game

Southern at Grambling State, Nov. 26: These teams seem to play every year, though you have no idea which division they're in, why they're on TV, or why you're watching the entire game and actually rooting for one of them

Ohio State at Michigan, Nov. 26: The greatest rivalry in all of college football will look like total shit again this year
The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

that RG3 character is the real deal. He remained confident throughout and really knows how to get the ball in the right hands
