Memphis Indiscretion May Lead to Kentucky Headache

Posted by Trips Right on August 20th, 2009 under Basketball

More on cheating from ESPN. I like the trend. Anyway, this is in no way a shocker to the folks that were paying attention. John Calipari, neck tats, and entrance test shenanigans go together like peanut butter and jelly. Throw in the cess pool that has always been Memphis basketball, and an NCAA investigation was a matter of when and not if. As for vacating wins, that is merely a flesh

NCAA Investigating Tennessee Freshman Bryce Brown

Posted by Trips Right on August 19th, 2009 under Football

Not surprising when you consider all of the clowns that took part in this circus. Lane Kiffin, Brown himself, and most interesting to me, a handler named Brian Butler. The following excerpt, if true, is bad news for players that are now playing the street agent game. It could also be bad news for our pal Will Lyles and other sleaze bags. Sources told ESPN.com that the crux of the NCAA’s

I Hope Rhett Bomar Has a Long NFL Career

Posted by Trips Right on May 15th, 2009 under Football

For Longhorn fan he's the gift that keeps on giving. And if you're a crimson and cream flunky, Rhett's the scarlet letter serving as a constant reminder of OU's history of illegal inducements, transgressions, and general asshattery that is the hallmark of Sooner nation. If the New York football Giants fitted Bomar's helmet with a mobile home logo it would be less embarassing to this outlaw program than interviews like these. Allow me

SI Explains Why Athletes Go Broke (But Lenny Dykstra & Chance Mock Will Save Them)

Posted by Scipio Tex on March 23rd, 2009 under Uncategorized

Newsflash: many athletes are sheltered, not particularly bright, prone to wild speculation, have no financial acumen, and are easily manipulated. So they're basically like the average American, but with superior vertical leaps. At least that's what Sports Illustrated contends in How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke Consider: • By the time they have been retired for two years, 78% of former NFL players have gone bankrupt or are under financial stress because of

Florida Is #1

Posted by Scipio Tex on January 8th, 2009 under Football

Raise your hand if you're a one loss team that beat OU on a neutral field by 10 points. Congrats to the Gators and Christ-figure Tim Tebow.

Jamarku$ McFarland already backtracking on New York Times story

Posted by Trips Right on December 28th, 2008 under Football

A tip of the cap to poster 98 for the heads up. Outstandingly predictable snippets about Thayer's Fantasy Island article on the McFarland recruitment.

Girls Romancing each other at a Texas Football party?

The Times article included inflammatory statements McFarland had written about the recruiting practices of Texas and LSU for a senior English class assignment. McFarland said he embellished a passage taken from the English paper

Calvin Howell Calls out Jamarku$ McFarland

Posted by Trips Right on December 28th, 2008 under Football

Already my favorite recruit, he ascends another rung. When asked if he was going to try and recruit players for Texas while at the AAG. Howell says : "Nope." "I'm not gonna recruit anybody. I'm a grown man and I made my decision. I'm not gonna try and force someone to go somewhere they don't want to be. Be a grown man and make your own decisions. You can choose to go somewhere else, but

Why is the New York Times losing so much money?

Posted by HenryJames on December 26th, 2008 under Recruiting

Oh. Apparently it’s now enough to interview just two people for an article. Is it possible that those two are biased? Perish the thought! So let’s take a look at the biggest bullshit claims. -McFarland was a guest of OU at the game in Dallas this year. Yet somehow after the game McFarland ends up at a party thrown by Caligula. An ‘upscale hotel’ that had naked women ‘romancing each other’ and drugs among other temptations. Sure

New York Times Texas Hit Piece Regarding McFarland

Posted by Trips Right on December 25th, 2008 under Football

In case you missed it, the NYT wrote a comical hit piece about the goings on in the Jamarkus McFarland recruitment. Among the more asinine things written, were descriptions of Texas offering drug parties and interest free loans to JM in an effort to pry him away from the "little engine that could" personifying Oklahoma Sooner recruiting. I mean fuck, if a school can't offer auto-pilot grades, salaries for no work,
