    MSU quarterbacks and the fans

    And should never, ever happen...PERIOD! If a player is not giving an acceptable effort the coaches are the ones who must address it. If they don't, then they should be held accountable but again, not by booing. Booing your own team accomplishes very little outside of making people sitting on...

    Buy/Sell Will anyone ever break Phelps Olympics Medals Total Record...

    I think you have to take the whole 'worlds greatest olympian' thing with a grain of salt. It is no coincidence that the guy's record he broke was also a swimmer. There are so many events and strokes and whatnot that obviously require similar skill sets that the opportunities to medal is many...

    OT: Oh yeah, that's really gonna rally people to your cause.....

    A bunch of guys frenching one another in public. That is going to help sooooo much.

    Marcello has a good article on Palmeiro...

    It is also not called the "Hall of Pressure Performance" or the "Hall of Making the Post Season" or "The Hall of Taking Trades" either. Using your logic the sole criteria is 'Fame'. So no matter what you did as a player, if you were 'famous', you're in. All jocularity aside though. I...

    Like or Not: Meeechigan's Unis for Playing Rammer Jammer

    If podunk U came up with that helmet design today they would be laughed to scorn. The only reason that the michigan design is 'iconic' or 'cool' is solely due to the tradition associated with it. The thing could have pink polka dots and be considered totally awesome if the design went back 100...

    Maybe the best post ever from The Spirit

    Anybody remember reading that feature article in SI in about 84? He was purported to be the 'toughest coach there ever was'. Coached scooba tech back in the 50s & 60s. He was utterly paranoid about opponents spying on his practices & reportedly took a shot or two at a private plane that ventured...

    What game do you regret the most for not attending?

    I wanted to go but had to work that morning. If only we would have been playing on campus back then. It really is ridiculous in retrospect when I consider how we had to drive 100+ miles from campus to attend home football games. A very close second for me was the SECCG as I lived in the ATL...

    What is the most embarrassing thing on the SPS front page today?

    Having a survey about the most embarrassing post.

    With the new kicking rules...

    Fewer injuries. No chance for a TD or a field flipping return. No chance for a late hit or a PF penalty. You aren't going to stop most returns inside the 20 anyway so what's five yards? One thing is for sure. Much fewer balls that go into the endzone will be brought out now.

    Damn - Nkdemiche is hoping his whole team comes to Clemson...

    RK is not putting Clemson in this position. They are putting themselves in this position. They have the free and unfettered ability to tell him, or any other recruit, to go pound sand if they make untenable demands.

    Buy/Sell: IF Penn State football ban for 4 years, returns to prominence within 10 years

    Buy/Sell: IF Penn State football ban for 4 years, returns to prominence within 10 years PSU has 10X more fan support, history, and name recognition than SMU ever had. Plus, they have less regional competition for recruits than SMU who had to go against the likes of Texas, TAM, and Oklahoma...

    Rodney Hood

    But it is kind of hypocritical. Its like someone speaking out against welfare but then has no problem collecting a welfare check for themselves. I also have a hard time actively rooting for a 19 year old kid to wash out and fail just because he had the audacity to transfer from my school after...

    Should Penn State get the death penalty?

    Read a little more carefully. The point being made was that having the NCAA sanction an institution for criminal conduct by an employee that has nothing to do with athletic competition is a precarious thing because of the question of where to draw the line. The DUI was simply put forth as an...

    Rodney Hood

    They were quitters too right? I will fully admit that I am prejudiced when it comes to transfers. I love it when we get em but hate it when we lose em. With that said, there are reasons why guys transfer just like many regular students who transfer for academic or other reasons. Do you consider...
