    You know it wouldnt be long when some people act like children and refuse to understand things. Congrats to them for having fewer NFL players so the rosters were more in tack in bowl games I guess. SEC had a winning record against them in the regular season and some people have clearly never been below the Mason Dixon line in their li8fe if they think theres such a thing as an SEC fan

    It's not just baseball guy, but many sec fans still living in 2010. Like some of the AP writers, and coaches. Mark my word, when the pre season rankings come out, they will have more sec teams ranked than any other conference. Same ole, same ole.

    Heck, this past years pre season poll, they had Indiana barely ranked in the top 20.

    Top to bottom the SEC and itsnot close.

    If you want to argue based off a singular team than you have to try and make an argument that the ACC was the second best conference because of Miami which is an impossible argument to make

    Yes because only sec teams have opt outs :| Penn State had 34 opt outs against Clemson and still won. In case you didn't know, backups are part of the team.

    Alabama --zero opt outs vs Indiana - lost by 35 points.
    Texas A@M - zero opt outs vs Miami - scored 3 points in their own backyard.

    Enough with the poor excuses.

    Jethro Tull had a really good album and song titled “Living in the Past” from around 1972, the Moody Blues had an album from around 1967 titled “Days of Future Passed” that have nothing to do with College Football, but the titles are apropos.

    Time to stop talking about how good the SEC was, we are in the present day base bal gu, whoever that is. 😂

    What does Clemson have anything to do with anything? They had 4 NFL players opt out by the way.

    Illinois lost by 60 to Indiana. A%M lost by one possesion. Miami beat OSU by more than they beat A&M

    Thanks for proving the point

    Given the context that question should have been interpreted as sarcasm. I was trying to further shine a light on the absolute stupidity that exists here.

    But, but, but we already have it on the word of that base bal gu that there is no such thing as an SEC fan, a supporter of that conference. Don't pay any attention to the fact that he defends them to the death, thinks the conference is head and shoulders above everyone else and constantly supports any and every thing that conference does. He is absoluteley NOT an SEC fan. >:)

    Starting to see more players heading to the courts to extend their eligibility and the problems with Georgia and players driving continues. That has to drive Kirby Smart crazy and only makes his job harder. Still, he maintains a high level of play.

    In case everyone missed the news, North Dakota State University moved from FCS to FBS by joining the Mountain West conference. It will be interesting to see how they do after dominating FCS; truly a dynasty that will never be replicated.

    Far be it from me to provide cover for the SEC, but what can the HC do when the players are on their own time?? These are 18-22 year olds who have special status as players so I’m actually surprised it doesn’t happen more often.

    I don’t think Kirby Smart should be fired but other Coaches have been fired for less.

    Georgia cops dont mess around and cut players breaks like the rest of the country does. Theyve arrested several MLB players before too.

    I dont really get what North Dakota State was thinking. The Mountain West money isnt that much more than there were getting and now recruiting is harder and they just went from being perennial champions to completely irrelevant

    Someone needs to explain to me how Joey Aguilar lost his case. The NCAA is counting his 4 years at community college against him. He only played 3 seasons in the NCAA. Its the exact same argument that Pavia made last year about his JUCO time and won in the exact same state setting the precedent

    There's a thing called being too soft after a player gets in trouble.

    Amazing isn't it? How many think they would get probation if you broke into a womans home and threatened to kill yourself?????

    Former Michigan Wolverines head football coach Sherrone Moore was sentenced to 18 months' probation on Tuesday (April 14) in connection with an incident at the apartment of a former staff member with whom he was alleged to have had an inappropriate relationship that led to his firing in December, ESPN's Dan Wetzel reports

  • bgrbgr Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭✭✭

    first time offender, breaking and entering, aggravating circumstance (threats of suicide), 2nd degree felony... 16 months to 2 years. I guess i didn't look up his prior record, but assuming there's nothing to find, I would say people in his situation would generally fall around 20 month sentence.

  • MaywoodMaywood Posts: 3,918 ✭✭✭✭✭

    You guys are a little over-board with the paranoia and thinking Moore received special treatment. Law Enforcement thoroughly investigated what happened and came to a reasonable conclusion. It is common to overcharge(Police) and later to reduce the charges(Prosecutor) after an investigation and mounted defense take place. Such is the case here. Also, without knowing about Moore's prior record it's entirely probable that this was a first offense which means probation is common.

    The man lost quite a bit but apparently the PCGS Sports Forum membership wants its pound of flesh.

    2026 NFL Draft Results. Players drafted by conference.

    SEC 87 which is an all time NFL record breaking their own record from last year
    B!G 68
    Big 12 38
    ACC 38
    Notre Dame who really should be in the ACC 6
    All other conferences combined less than 20

    That makes 20 straight years with the SEC having the most players drafted
