Iowa Football
I have always had a lot of respect for Iowa football. The coaches are class acts and the players are too. At least we all thought they were. Apparently there is a drug scandal brewing involving a large number of players. It started last week with the arrest of DJK (nobody can spell his last name so everyone refers to him by his initials) and his roommate on drug charges. DJK, by the way, is the Iowa all time leader in receptions and receiving yardage. He had one game left to play in his collegiate career before a guaranteed career in the NFL. He was fun to watch and could really shake things up (the MSU game was incredible). Now, we have found out that he may have been involved in point shaving also. He and his moron friends took what could have been a brilliant season for Iowa and flushed it down the drain. Besides DJK, one of our other stars, Adam Robinson, has already been suspended and it is being reported that there may be up to 20 suspensions and/or scholorship revokations. I just hope none of the coaches were aware of any of this.

Oh man, that's horrible!! I hope your coaches didn't know, either. It's incredible how kids think they can get away with it all and without thinking, they throw away all dreams and hopes because of their stupidity.
I'm sorry to hear about this.
Apparently there is some redemption. Look at Michael Vick. He wasn't involved in drugs, but dog fighting and jail is pretty pathetic. Now look at him...he's an amazing QB for the eagles. I almost want to hate him on principle, but he's an amazing QB. Maybe DJK will learn his lesson the hard way and end up better for it. Who knows...

There was a press conference this morning and as it turns out, only 2athletes are being suspended and one other athlete has decided to leave Iowa for greener pastures.
I'll be interested to see what else comes out after further investigation.
Cam Newton left Florida for greener pastures at Auburn. Ha ha. Get it? Green? $$$? Good athlete. Questionable character. And parents.
No, Cam Newton left Florida because he got caught cheating academically 3 times and was facing expulsion, so he just left before they could kick him out. This is why he transferred to a junior college and had to play there first before going on to Auburn. He is an idiot.
I just watched an ESPN movie (30 for 30) about SMU's quick rise in the early 80's and then rapid decline due to an NCAA "death penalty" sanction. The whole thing was about bribery and so forth in college football and how dirty everyone was*. I guarantee so much crap still goes on. College football is so pathetic in this way.
I'm sad that Nebraska has to be in a new conference with such ridiculous divisional names like "legends" and "leaders". How stupid is this? The new logo is dumb too. There are 12 teams but no indication of this in the logo. Instead, there is a 1 represented in the middle of B1G and nothing else. I don't get it. Dumb.
I am glad Nebraska is in the Big 10. Now I get to watch them every week on the Big 10 network. I do agree that the division names are stupid. Why not just east and west or something like that. Here's something even dumber. They renamed all of the player trophies. The best quarterback trophy is now named after Drew Brees and Bob Griese. They call it, yep, you guessed it, the Griese-Brees trophy. It sounds more like a wet fart award.
Seriously? Greasy Breeze? You've got to be kidding me. Someone needs to sit Jim Delany down and have a talk.
Wet fart award. I like it.
