Just go over there and THROW OUT SOME CHEESE! For whiner's preferably the MOLDY slices!:eek2:I quit reading what they're saying from USCe because I don't understand
"whin-ese". :conf2:
I agree. If it's a rule then we should adhere to it or be prepared to be called out on it. Granted there are probably better ways to handle it which don't involve the media, but the rule exists to maintain a level playing field, all institutions have agreed to abide by it, and apparently we violated it. Sportsmanship would probably dictate we say "Sorry" and move on.This is nothing to get defensive about. The guy makes a good point. Everyone needs to use it when it's allowed and stop pushing the boundary. He wasn't calling us out for saying it had anything to do with us beating USC. Carry on!
I think the term "Don't go away mad, just go away" fits the gamecocks perfectly!!!I'm getting sick of hearing all of the complaining coming from USCe. They lost and rather than giving their opponent props for playing better they take shots. The tape and the "artificial noise" have nothing to do with why they lost. IMO, Spurrier hgoas always been a whiner so I really shouldn't be suprised.
Yes players at other schools have been handled the same way. For example Jarmon, the fine DT at UK was ruled ineligible during the summer for using an OTC that is considered illegal. My favorite however is the WR from Auburn who graduated in the spring but is academically inelgible this fall! How does that happen? We know about the Alabama players because we follow the team, but other schools have some of the same issues.Just out of curiosity. We've had several players ruled ineligible the past three seasons from NCAA violations. Have there been other teams in the SEC with similar player situations?
^^^^What he said. Especially the last paragraph.I have no problem saying I hope the first time Tennessee hits the field (and LSU, and Mississippi State, and Auburn, and South Carolina the next time they visit Bryant-Denny), I hope the guy with the tape deck hits the bell, rewinds it, and hits it again continuously for 60 minutes. At about 3x the volume it played this past weekend. I literally do not care what the SEC has to say on the matter.
This conference has come up with the worst rule it could possibly come up with already this year (the AU-sponsored oversigning rule limiting teams to 28 GIAs received -- which I suspect we'll get around by having any lower-rated players and/or grayshirts simply not submit a letter of intent, as it's not required), and this follows several SEC-specific rules (notice that cheerleaders no longer can use a field-mounted PA speaker except in out-of-conference games?) that have not done a thing to make the game better, just more words on a page somewhere so that some One-Bullet Barney can feel like he made a difference in life.
I probably wouldn't feel this way except that the ONE noisemaker in this conference that is actually dangerous -- the Mississippi State cowbell, which I've seen mounted to bicycle handles, ax handles and broomsticks -- is left alone, I guess because "it's just Mississippi State." So until the SEC gets serious about enforcing its rules for everyone and not just the elite teams in the conference, I hope Alabama tells the noise police and Hyman to swallow it sideways.
