National Championships don't get any better than this

[speed dawg]

Apparently two years ago, one of the ND players raped a female student. The university refused to do anything, and she was intimidated into shutting up. Then she committed suicide.

And yeah, I'm sure the author of the blog is a feminist. But that doesn't make her wrong. The story makes a lot of sense. It's not much different than Penn State and Jerry Sandusky.

I think these sort of things CAN happen and do. But I refuse to believe there was NO ONE those girls could confide in and report what had happened. Those 'rape' cases are so gray anyway, a lot of times the girls are drunk and the sex is sometimes consensual, then the the next day they want to cry rape. Hard to really tell. I mean, I guarantee you there's police in that town that aren't wrapped up in Notre Dame football. There's probably plenty of people who are anti-Notre Dame. And seriously, what would happen to her if she did squeal? Would the football team kill her like the mob? Highly doubtful.

At Penn State, as soon as the story got outside the institution, it went viral.

i went to watch the game at a sports bar last night and i had a sienfield moment lol

so i had to piss. i go to the bathroom and you know how sports bars have the TV's over the little pee stations or what not. so there are 2 pee pee stations and mine has some freaking big east basketball game on it and this other guy's has the game on it. so while i'm taking a piss i am trying to sneak a peak on the dude's TV beucase bama was about to score. so like the third time i looked the dude looked at me with this "dude.. are you trying to look at my ****" look lol. it was pretty funny i was was like "yeah man what's up"

Games hardly live up to the hype anyway. Now...

BRING ON TEH HOCKEY!!!

I will say though, I do enjoy the suffering of some of the smug ND fans though I'm kinda sick of SEC teams winning all the time

I just took a look at the final standings and they've got Notre Dame ranked above Georgia WTF? Georgia would mop the floor with these frauds. This just goes to show the BCS ranking system doesn't work and there needs to be a playoff to prevent the media from hyping up phonies like NBCotre Dame.

Mark Richt has been pushing for a playoff system in the NCAA ever since his bulldogs blew out Hawaii at the Sugar Bowl in a similar fashion as last night's Championship.

she isn't THAT hot. i mean she's beautiful obviously but I mean it's not like all QB's for starting teams in college don't have trophy GF's. Ryan Tannehill's GF last year would put this broad to absolute shame she was the closet thing i've seen to a 10 probably ever

Did you see McCarron and the Cardinal player's messages over twitter? "English wept" was the best comment I saw. They are both borderline illiterate; McCarron is worse. It must be a myth that good quarterbacks are intelligent. Or maybe it's a sign of a great coach that Nick Saban doesn't need a smart QB in order to win.

Manti Te'o is one sneaky mofo

A lot of college football fans here, so get a load of this:

Did you enjoy the uplifiting story, the tale of a man who responded to adversity by becoming one of the top players of the game? If so, stop reading.

Manti Te'o did lose his grandmother this past fall. Annette Santiago died on Sept. 11, 2012, at the age of 72, according to Social Security Administration records in Nexis. But there is no SSA record there of the death of Lennay Marie Kekua, that day or any other. Her passing, recounted so many times in the national media, produces no obituary or funeral announcement in Nexis, and no mention in the Stanford student newspaper.

Nor is there any report of a severe auto accident involving a Lennay Kekua. Background checks turn up nothing. The Stanford registrar's office has no record that a Lennay Kekua ever enrolled. There is no record of her birth in the news. Outside of a few Twitter and Instagram accounts, there's no online evidence that Lennay Kekua ever existed.

The photographs identified as Kekua—in online tributes and on TV news reports—are pictures from the social-media accounts of a 22-year-old California woman who is not named Lennay Kekua. She is not a Stanford graduate; she has not been in a severe car accident; and she does not have leukemia. And she has never met Manti Te'o.

Sept. 22, 2012: Kekua's funeral takes place in Carson, Calif. (The Associated Press puts it in "Carson City, Calif.," which does not exist.

...and journalism is ****.

I'm an LSU man - as well as a Congregation of Holy Cross (high school) man as well (which is the religious order of Notre Dame), and I will admit that Saban is a great college coach. He really can coach up to the level of the NFL.

The problem with Saban is that he is a class A jacka@@. :moon: College players who are used to the top down management style from high school, and are fighting to get playing time (as well as a lucrative NFL career) will put up with it - but NFL players will not, which is why Saban has been a failure at the pro level.
