    The Eagles hire Chip Kelley. Is he pulling a Pete Carroll and getting out of Oregon before the sanctions hit?

    NBC and the Hartford Courant report that San Diego State is leaning heavily toward jilting The Big East at the altar.

I love the job that Stanford is doing but the Pac-12 like the SEC is going to be better overall with UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State and Washington having good players returning. I think both A&M and Stanford may stumble early and have to have some help but I think they'll make it.
    That's why I think that those two teams are more likely to be overrated than overlooked. The media is likely to take more of a look at the big pieces.

    I heard that the main sticking point was that the Mountain West wasn't sure that they wanted them back and might look for more attractive schools.

    I don't think there are really any more attractive teams out there. San Diego State brings a few eyes in a good TV market and more importantly provides for a biannual trip to southern California, where most of the Mountain West teams do the majority of their recruiting. And while they've never really turned the corner, they're traditionally good enough to at least be in the conversation for the conference championship.

    I don't think so either, but they aren't the no-brainer that Boise State is and they may have just wanted a moment to verify that. Or make the Aztecs sweat for trying to leave.

    This is likely gonna hurt T'eo ...people love talented players. They don't like deceptive scum bags who milk tragedies to improve their Heisman chances as this seemed to try and do. He may drop a few spots due to it.

    There is also talk that perhaps in the comments that T'eo and Ronaiah carried this ruse on to conceal a gay relationship. That T'eo is a Mormon and they really don't condone a gay relationship. That it was just a smoke screen awhile to hide the relationship they were having. One case that points to this is T'eo invited Ronaiah and his family to a game and obviously were close.

    I didn't know this thread existed until today. Mainly, I just want to introduce myself to everyone. College football has been my passion most of my adult life, to the point that I have had to pull back a little bit to avoid a heart attack or stroke. I still love talking about it, and Saturdays in the fall are the best. I am an Auburn fan, so I'm not happy about the national champs or the season as a whole. But I pretty much keep up with what goes on during the offseason and hope to pitch in a few comments. I'm hoping that next year I will be brave enough to watch my team play live, instead of just checking the score. War Eagle!

    His off the field story/tragedy helped him sweep up defensive awards and nearly win the Heisman. That and he played for unbeaten Notre Dame. Put him on any other team and you would have never heard his name. Tony Taylor, a linebacker for UGA, had comparable, if not better stats, in 2006 than T'eo did in 2012. How many of you have heard of Tony Taylor?

    T'eo's 2012 stats:

    103 tackles, 52 solo, 51 assists, 5.5 TFL, 1.5 Sacks 1.5, 7 INTs, 1 Fumble recovery

    Taylor's 2006 stats:

    96 tackles, 65 solo, 31 assists, 7.5 TFL, 3 Sacks 1.5, 7 INTs, 3 Fumble recoveries

    T'eo was exposed as an average, at best, linebacker against Alabama.

    Jarvis Jones vs. Alabama

    6 tackles, 3 solo, 3 assists, 2 Sacks

    T'eo vs. Alabama

    10 tackles, 3 solo, 7 assists

    and it looks like ND is trying to salvage the issue saying they talked with T'eo and his parents and that Mantai may have been a victim of a "fraudulent relationship"

    smells like damage control to me...the story is already being talked about on a few regional sports radio outlets

    Looking at the story on ESPNEWS. Wow.

    ESPN and alot of other networks ran with this story. Nobody bothered to check the facts? If he's involved in the hoax, he's going to be up there with Lance Armstrong.

    That seems like the only thing that may save him ...if he pleads he's dumb as hell. But if ya read the article he claims he met the girlfriend at the Stanford game and more lol.
