They Were ROBBED!!

I am NOT a vols fan.
As a matter of fact, I HATE tennessee and orange.
I do, however, like Coach Derek Dooley due to his lineage and coaching pedigree. (Even though he reminds me a little bit of actor Michael Cera, which is very distracting!)

Last night in the Music City Bowl, poor officiating cost tennessee the game. It was horrible. The last minute was a fiasco. The vols should have won.
MORE bullshit.

NCAA & Ohio State: I Call BULL$#*T!!!

In a not-so-surprisingly bone-headed move, the NCAA (Obviously an acronym for NO COMPETENCE AT ALL) made yet ANOTHER questionable ruling in this latest episode by declaring FIVE Ohio State Buckeyes suspended for five games-- NEXT SEASON!
Apparently, these young men sold jerseys & rings and got free tattoos- BOTH rules violations. The NCAA decided (since word got out) that this was clearly a violation, and handed down the penalty of suspensions-- to be served NEXT SEASON. The offending players are eligible for this year's bowl.
Let that soak in a minute. The supposed 'governing body' of collegiate athletics, who finally had an open-and-shut case with the opportunity to punish the offending parties IN THE SAME SEASON decide to wait.
Why?
Because of pressure from the BC$....?
And the network$, specifically E$PN....?

Let's put this in perspective, shall we?
Alabama's Marcel Darius took a trip to Miami which was arranged by a friend on the North Carolina Tarheels football team. He was unaware of the situation and the parties involved. He distanced himself and repaid the money, but was STILL suspended for games THIS season.
Punished.
Georgia's A.J. Green sold his jersey, repaid the money, and yet was forced to miss games the same season.
Punished.
Several on the Tarheels team had been receiving free lodging.
Evicted and punished, they missed several games. This season.

auburn's $cam Newton, arguably the best player in the nation, is ADMITTEDLY and undeniably shopped around by his father(A VERY CLEAR VIOLATION). Claimed no knowledge.
Declared eligible. Wow.

The hypocrisy and discrimination by the very institution whose SOLE existence is to ensure fair play and compliance is mind-blowing. All credibility is gone.
I call "BULLSHIT!"
