After all the hype about Cam Newton and him being a clear favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, just got what is wrong here: Perception.

We are living the Perception Era. Look good, dominant, imponent and superior and you will win the admiration of the world. It does not matter if you violate the rules or if you are a cheater.

The kid is a phenomenom. He is good and probably deserves the sucess he is having ON the field. But that is it. His father offered him to the highest bidder and no way he and Auburn did not know about it. Shame on the NCAA that he is still elegible to play. He should not be.

If I was voting my vote would go to another Heisman finalist and not to him.

 
& to think back to last year (or two) How much criticism did Tim Tebow get because he "was" an actual choir boy?

the public is very fickle....

Newton is typical of all that is wrong in college football. I have never hated an amateur athlete as much as I hate Newton.

I have never really liked Oregon with all their Nike money. But I hope they drop some prison love on Auburn.

 
Looks like :wv: is getting a new coach...

Dana Holgorsen from Oklahoma State

supposedly as Off coord first year, then promoting him to Head Coach the following year... its currently 'breaking news' here locally, so not sure what is the case as of yet

Ha ha! CU stole a recruit from UCLA and Slick Rick Neuweasel. This makes me happy.

 
i admit i haven't kept up, whats the deal with the Leaders and Legends thing in the Big 10

That's what happens when a conference spends too much time and money in picking division names.

I would have liked maybe Great Lakes and Great Plains but the teams were not divided along geographic lines so they could not get georgraphic names to work. They would end up (for example) with Iowa in the Great Lakes Division.

That would make about as much sense as having a team in the "Coastal Division" when they are located 250 miles from the coast. (Georgia Tech)

I think it is great the Big10 is added divisions and a championship game, but these division names will take a LONG time before they grow on me

Does the new Big T1E2N logo give you warm and fuzzy feelings already? I think they should have renamed the conference to the Big Tween.

 
You mean this monstrousity?

If you notice, the BigTen logo has an 11 in the middle of it....

But, I don't think the '12' version is legit is it? or is it someone's photoshop make-up?

I don't like the 1 either.

And I don't know why they chose to switch to powder blue. Maybe the old blue was too much of a match with Michigan's so they figured the Carolina / UCLA blue was more neutral? I don't know.
