LSU Placed on Probation for Recruiting Violations
LSU has been placed on probation after an investigation of recruiting violations. The penalties, while not insignificant, are not crippling. Why, Georgia Tech fans might ask, considering that the violations were called significant by the NCAA?
The committee noted in its report, "The compliance office was proactive, fully investigated and cooperated with the enforcement staff to uncover the full range of the violations."
That's why.
Matt Hinton on the LSU situation.
A couple of important pieces of news here: First of all, there are renewed rumors that Texas A&M may be considering joining the SEC out of protest against the in-development, ESPN-backed Longhorn Network, which may cover Texas recruiting, thus giving the Longhorns a leg up on in-state prospects.
Second of all, as you may have already heard, Georgia backup tailback Carlton Thomas has been suspended for at least the first game, which, of course, is against Boise St. That's another hit against Georgia's beleaguered backfield.

Video Games are Fun.
Two different simulations with USC playing in the National Championship Game. One with Boise State winning and then another simulation with USC defeating Boise State.
Here’s what he had to say about the BCSNCG
BCS National Championship — South Carolina 24, Boise State 22
Yes, that’s right, the Ol’ Ball Coach has added another national title to his resume. Boise State did have a chance to topple the BCS machine, but couldn’t pull through. Trailing 24-16, Kellen Moore hit Kyle Efaw on a 16-yard touchdown with 3 minutes left, but the Broncos couldn’t convert the two-point conversion. The Gamecocks ran out the clock and celebrated a national title. Oh, and Stephen Garcia was the game’s MVP. Let that marinate in your brain for a minute or two.

Fail.
The second link should be this one:

A friend told me he had seen it last week, sorry if it is redundant. But local Atlanta radio was discussing it. The hosts were dismissive. (it is the home to UGA Football this season though). Homerism to be expected I suppose.
