A division 2 player was found dead on campus. They,Northwest Missouri State, won the 2015 national title. Sad to here a young man died like that.

MARYVILLE, Mo. — The celebration that followed Northwest Missouri State football's national championship win was short-lived as news that one of the team's players was found dead on Sunday.

Nicholas Turner, a junior, was discovered dead in his residence on campus, according to a news release from the school.

The Nodaway County coroner's office, Maryville Public Safety and University police are conducting an investigation. No foul play is suspected.

Turner finished the 2015 season with 22 tackles, and recorded a sack in the Dec. 19 national title win over Shepherd.

Turner was from St. Louis and was majoring in corporate recreation and wellness.

This marks the second death for the school in two weeks, after freshman Haily Hayes was found dead in her residence on campus on Jan. 17.

SEC trying to stop Harbaugh from holding spring practice in Florida.

I really see no problem with it.

QuoteYou didn't think the SEC would allow Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines to quietly waltz into Florida — a recruiting hotbed for several of the league's elites — and hold spring practice did you?

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey told CBS Sports on Tuesday the league put in a request to the NCAA that it prohibit teams from holding spring practice during spring break, which happens to be the same time (Feb. 27-March 6) Harbaugh announced the Wolverines would hold their initial portion of spring drills at IMG Academy in Bradenton.

This is getting good.

"Our primary reaction [is] that, in the face of the time-demand conversations, we've got one program taking what has been 'free time' away," Sankey told Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports. "Let's draw a line and say, 'That's not appropriate.'"

Sources told CBS Sports they do not expect a reversal to be made in time to block Michigan's practices in Florida. The NCAA is however expected to institute a rule prohibiting such travel in the future.

Michigan's using one of their players' four 'off-weeks' during the calendar year for this scheduled trip to Florida. Sankey says players need time away from football to spend doing whatever they choose, but this robs them of that, even if by choice.

Spring break should be exactly that, he says, a break.

"This seems completely counter to the dialogue," Sankey told CBS Sports. "We have work to do on [giving athletes a] day off. We have work to do on, how do you provide a postseason break? It seems where this is one where reasonable people could say we just shouldn't be in this space."

IMG Academy, by the way, has produced the fifth-most Division I football talent since 2000, according to the 247Sports High School Football Team Talent Composite.

I think Harbaugh's response is perfect...passive aggressively subtweeting with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.  :)

https://twitter.com/CoachJim4UM/status/697489871728803841

I also think Sankey needs to focus more on some of the allegations out of Tennessee and less on where a team decides to hold practice for a week.

I agree, with allegations of Ole Miss paying players and providing hookers and UT raping women (all allegedly of course). I don't see how this is an issue, bunch crying like the grey shirts and oversigning BS a while back.

More power to Harbaugh, now steal Ole Miss and Auburns recruits :)

Sorry I missed this Crewe...

No one knows right now. I have heard rumors from this is mainly a houston nutt issue and womens sports problems to 13 allegations that are under Hugh Freeze's reign.

Tunsil had to sit out 7 games this year for something about a car. Heard he was given free use of a car, his step dad hit his mom, he hits step dad, step dad spills beans to NCAA. True? Not sure, but i bet there is something to it.

Another one to watch out for not sure if true, but Bama RB Bo Scarborough had to sit out 4 games due to Ole miss supossedly either paying him or giving him a girlfriend for the night on a visit there.

Something is up, but a few SEC schools are fed up. Just like they were with the Cam Newton scandal. Nothing came of it because many believe because of Auburn's position to play for the national title that the SEC office shielded the barn.

I guess we find out in a few years LOL.

Just an FYI
Voted against the camps:
Pac-12, SEC, ACC, Mountain West, Sun Belt and Big 12.

Voted for the camps:
Big 10, Conference USA, American, Mid American

Limit opportunities? maybe in 1985, I think satellite camps have some good things, but with 247 sports, Rivals, Hudl, fox sports and ESPN, kids are getting plenty of exposure.  Don't just say the SEC and ACC, say every Power 5 conference but the big 10 and some smaller conferences. You think for a minute that Urban, Saban, or Harbaugh doesn't know the up and coming players? Coaches are offering 8th graders for crying out loud.

Lol, you think that opportunities are unlimited now because of all the recruiting services out there? Might work for the big universities but what about your smaller colleges? You know, the smaller colleges that would see a kid at one of these camps, a kid that might not be good enough to get into a Michigan/Ohio State/Notre Dame but could benefit from an opportunity at a Central Michigan or Ball State. The NCAA acted stupidly (again) and chose to blanket ban everything because someone felt threatened (or like Ole Miss Coach Hugh Freeze, just really didn't want to work as hard as others), instead of looking at the facts from all angles.

Jim Harbaugh finally released a statement today, and he didn't mince words: "The incompetence of the NCAA has reared its ugly head yet again."

http://www.campusrush.com/jim-harbaugh-satellite-camp-ban-student-athlete-comments-1725253351.html?xid=si_social (http://www.campusrush.com/jim-harbaugh-satellite-camp-ban-student-athlete-comments-1725253351.html?xid=si_social)

QuoteCollege sports serve two missions: They are a multi-billion dollar business, and they provide opportunities for young people. With this new rule, as with so many, business trumps educational opportunities. The only thing the NCAA protected is the recruiting territory of the SEC and the ACC.

Harbaugh says, "This is going to affect thousands and thousands of people." That is no exaggeration. It will affect thousands and thousands of people. To understand why, let's look at what the NCAA really did.

Harbaugh famously took his staff on a well-promoted "Summer Swarm" satellite camp tour last summer. Anybody at a big-budget program could have done it; Harbaugh was simply the one who came up with the idea. But summer camps have been around for decades, and pretty much everybody in football would agree they have been a boon to the sport.

High school players learn from the best coaches in the sport. More importantly, for the price of one camp, they can get in front of several coaching staffs and potentially earn a scholarship. And even more important: Players get a taste of success. They get a little closer to their dreams.

If you have spent any time in impoverished neighborhoods, you know that the problems there go beyond finding food to eat and a roof to sleep under. People feel completely disconnected from their aspirations.

Camps help bridge that gap. Most kids won't earn scholarships to Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama or LSU. But they may be inspired to work harder and to keep their grades up, which could help give them a chance to go and succeed somewhere.

Sorry, but Rivals doesn't fill that gap.

Bama in the news a DL coach is either stepping down or getting fired.
Rumors speculating he got into the buying of a player against the Mississippi school. Supposedly the kid went to MSU.
Quote
Alabama defensive line coach Bo Davis is expected to leave the Crimson Tide football program because of an inquiry into possible recruiting violations, according to an earlier report from The Tuscaloosa News.

Davis will either resign from his position on Nick Saban's coaching staff or be fired because, per the report. Alabama has been conducting an internal investigation, while the NCAA has also made inquiries into the incident.

Davis returned to Tuscaloosa in 2014 to coach the Crimson Tide's defensive line the last two seasons, including last year's deep group of linemen that helped Alabama win the 2015 CFP National Championship.

The defensive line coach was 247Sports' No. 2 recruiter in the nation in the 2016 cycle and was back with the Tide after three seasons at Texas in the same position. He was a member of Saban's original staff in 2007.

"Bo does a really good job," Saban said last season. "He's a really good coach, he's got a good relationship with his players, he does a good job motivating the guys and each one of those guys has played better each year they've been here, each year he's worked with them. And we've got some guys that have been playing for a while and they're really playing well so far this year."
per http://alabama.247sports.com/Bolt/REPORT-Tide-DL-coach-Bo-Davis-to-leave-program-45077394
The player rumored in question that Bo Davis was involved with is said to be 5* Jeffrey Simmons. This is all alleged.

What I am proud of, is that Bama is taking action to dismiss the coach instead of pulling an Ole Miss and Auburn and daring the NCAA to find anything. Its a black eye, but at least we arent keeping the coach on board.

http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/15766359/ole-miss-self-imposes-postseason-ban-women-basketball-reduced-scholarships-football

Quote• Former assistant coach David Saunders arranged for fraudulent ACT scores for three prospects in the summer of 2010. Saunders and former Ole Miss assistant Chris Vaughn were also accused of unethical conduct related to the testing fraud, and they are accused of providing temporary lodging, meals and entertainment for recruits in June and July 2010. In its response, Ole Miss officials agreed that the testing fraud occurred.

• Vaughn violated the NCAA cooperative principle by communicating with witnesses of an NCAA enforcement investigation, even after being admonished on several occasions to refrain from having such conversations. The NCAA determined his conduct to be a Level I violation.

• Between August 2014 and August 2015, an unnamed booster provided football players with impermissible extra benefits in the form of complimentary vehicle use, which the NCAA determined was a Level I allegation. Additionally, in June 2015, the booster provided a player with an impermissible, interest-free car loan. The NCAA said the monetary value of the extra benefits was approximately $7,495.

• The NCAA alleged Ole Miss officials failed to monitor the activities of the booster, a Level II violation.

• On or around August 22, 2014, an Ole Miss booster provided a football player with $800 cash, a Level 1 violation.

• Between June 7, 2013, and May 27, 2014, an Ole Miss booster provided extra benefits to a football player in the form of free lodging in Oxford, Mississippi, a Level 1 violation. The NCAA said the value of the benefits was approximately $2,253.

• During the 2012-13 academic year, an Ole Miss booster assisted the school in the recruitment of four prospects by engaging in recruiting activities and provided them with recruiting inducements totaling approximately $2,250. The NCAA alleges assistant coach Maurice Harris knew of the booster's involvement and, at times, facilitated his involvement, a Level 1 violation.

Academic Fraud and Payola. SMU got the death penalty for less.  Just saying. Bama and USC got hammered for doing less than this.

As for Baylor covering up rape, that might need a SMU type of penalty.

As I am a college football fan, this needs to stop.
I really like the talent Briles brought to UH and Baylor, but if he did wrong, he needs to suffer consequences as do all coaches and players.
Academic fraud, I don't want to say is more serious because that would demean rape but man, guy gets a free ride and escorted to a degree while others more deserving get screwed over?
Not cool.
The SMU thing, I'm still on the fence about it, I mean yea it was rampant and everyone was doing it and something had to be done, but when you compare what they did to what schools have been doing since? Far too severe in my book.
there's more but I'm on mobile and have to go to work lol

I hope both get hammered for their involvements.

If I was in charge, Baylor would get the death penalty 5 years.  If they want their program to participate in the NCAA again they have to show where they paid restitution to the victims and provided scholarships to women of 85 each year for 5 years.

The Big 12 should eliminate Baylor from any title consideration for conference titles for 5 years, if they dont outright kick them out of the big 12. Also no money from the playoffs/tv of any sports.

Ole miss should not be allowed to sign more than 15 players a year for 5 years, and a 5 year post season ban. No post season revenue from the bowls and have half of their TV revenue forfeited to make a wish foundation or a animal shelter or cancer research.

Personally I think this was a great move by Briles, and honestly, Baylor was tipping their hand.  I still want to have faith Briles didn't cover up a rape or protect a rapist.
As for Starr, and Baylor, fuck them. Hate it for the team though.
I see Baylor grads all the time in my field and of course they hate the scandal, but talking to them, they are proud of the Baylor they know, but you can't get away from the eye roll

Briles supported that culture down there. He is the head coach, they get all the glory and deserve all the blame. If he did not know that is negligence on his part. There should be a show cause on him by the NCAA.

there's much more grey than that, but I get it, coach needs to burn and all that, but I'm just not ready to dump it all on him. Appears to me the University had a much heavier hand in everything. Was it at Briles request to protect football? Was it the university protecting its cash cow all on its own?
I mean Baylor is doing exactly what you want, setting the coach up for all of it and I just think that's absurd.
I'm not well versed in every bona fide fact so I don't know everything Briles did or didn't do or said.
This is like gunman on the grassy knoll

...at the expense of Michigan/Arkansas, and I'm fine with that. I'm not fine with ND somehow ending up playing host first, meaning in 2018 Michigan's road schedule consists of ND, MSU, and ohio State.

And sorry Coach Bielema, as much as I love football I can't think of any football matchup as 'just sexy'. Especially a matchup with Arkansas. :D

I know the SEC fans in general like to tout the SEC and I do also to a degree, but the SEC hates Bama and I hate the SEC (except Florida, Vandy, Kentucky and Miss State, the rest can suck balls)

Looks like the Big 10 is a 3 team league, maybe 4.

ACC is 3 teams

Big 12 1 team league (maybe)

SEC 2 team league (maybe 3)

Pac 12 2 maybe 3 team league.

I actually hope the SEC is down (except for us :) tired of the SEC grinder each week)

Will say this, Auburn is not as good as they appeared, and neither is Clemson.

Houston, watch out for those cats, any team has a let down they may take their playoff spot. Weak conference and schedule (other than OU) will hurt their chances. If OU goes 7-5 UH isnt going to the playoffs unless there are several 2 loss conference champs.

Bama looked pretty good starting the 2nd QTR.

FSU looked good in the 2nd half. Ole miss is thin, no depth, they wore down. 1st stringers are the best (Better be for the price they paid)

Post by: rollntider on September 14, 2016, 10:18:52 PM
So far how do you think teams will finish this year?

I will talk about teams i follow first then make some random predictions.


Bama. I think we win the SEC again :) and possibly make it to the title game. Still a little concerned about the O to think we are Natty winners.

Barn. Close loss to Clemson (see moral victory) and beat a decimated Ark state team that had 9 members missing from the flu and one or two injured. Miss State will decide if they are post season eligible or not. 5-7 pr 6-6.

LSU- 9-3

Arkansas - the team to challenge Bama for the top spot in the west. This game decides if Bama can 5-peat as west champs (12, 13[tied], 14, 15) 10-2

A&M - Creates havoc in the west also and will Arky their 2nd loss. 9-3 to 8-4

Florida- Wins east, that defense is stout and gaining ground on the offense. They may win the SEC next year.

Tennessee. a super weak schedules will pad their wins this year. Tenn Tech, App State, Vandy, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Ohio made them bowl eligible. Va Tech is a name team and although not their fault Va tech sucks. They go 1-3 in the span of UF, UGa, Bama and A&M. They win either UGa or A&M. 8 or 9 wins.


Now for teams I am not as familiar with.

Clemson LOLz.... the barn was bragging they hung with the #2 team. They have a weaker schedule than Tennessee, they only face Louisville and FSU. 10-2

Michigan.... if they can get by OSU they are 11-1 and represent the B1G.

USC... that game was not represented by the score. USC is better than that and that team gave up. It should have been a 35-21 type of game. If USC wins this weekend, I think they rep the PAC12 in the playoffs... would make peoples heads explode in the media, if Bama goes undefeated then I think that is a rematch.

Michigan/Wisconsin was every bit the battle I thought it would be...Badgers defense is tough and could surprise the buckeyes in Madison next weekend, ohio state hasn't faced off against a defense yet.

The Wolverines defense is just a bit better though. Great battle, this game felt like old school Big Ten football, just a fight from start to finish. And sorry, but you're not gonna find a better play of the day than this:

https://twitter.com/ESPNCFB/status/782393146500014080

On par with Charles Woodson's INT against MSU in 1997.

#3 If LSU wanted to keep their original opponent from 11-19, they could have played it after the SEC title game. And did the right thing and play Florida that day at Florida.

While Wisconsin may have lost, they also made the Buckeyes look mortal. I like that. Also starting to think though that teams 2-4 are all just playing for second place anyway. Your team is stacked, tider.

But as for Michigan being in the top 4? Pleasantly surprised...didn't think Harbaugh would have the team contending nationally in year 2, but here we are. The defense is incredible and reminds me a bit of the 1997 and 2006 teams. It's nice to be back to relevance again, especially while another team that thought it had arrived is in a freefall this season. Not that I'm naming names or anything.

If you want a hint, it was the only bowl eligible team to get shutout last season. This team may have lost to Alabama in that bowl game, 38-0 or something like that.

Again, not naming names or anything though.  8)

LOL yeah that team got pounded good in the bowl game right ;)

As for playing for 2nd place, not sure about that. Media shows only the "good Stuff" we did and the SEC is weak this year. We have beaten some Good teams but not great teams. If Tennessee had played Louisville FSU or another team like that they would have gotten beaten as badly.  I think LSU is a little better after their coaching change, but they have played cream puffs. Auburn looks to be better than advertised but again weak scheduling and Clemson is not as good as advertised either. I think LSU and the Barn will give us fits. I hate that, would rather have tough games elsewhere.. lol

Remember Saban had Bama #1 his 2nd year so it can be done. Thats why i laugh at the UT fans that think Butch jones needs 2 more years.

2. Ohio State lost
3. Michigan State lost (again)
4. Wings win
5. Cubs advance to the World Series

And on top of that, you can hear Michigan's players talking about this weekend's matchup against reeling MSU, and you know they aren't taking anything for granted. This is a team that wants revenge for the last few seasons (especially last season's miracle), and they will exact it. In Walking Dead terms, Jim Harbaugh is Negan, the football team is Lucille, and Mark Dantonio and the Spartans are about to be brained into oblivion.

One of the many reasons I want Michigan to basically salt the earth of East Lansing on Saturday.



By the end of this game, this season, hell, even the next five seasons: I want their only highlight to be them thinking about that miracle punt block last season. The football team and their fanbase have been talking big shit the last few seasons, well time to pay up. I want Harbaugh and Co. to annihilate this squad back to the Stone Age, destroy them so thoroughly that every person on that team will wished they'd never picked up football as their sport of choice. I want the outcome of that game decided by halftime, the Spartan student section half empty, and the entire stadium about as quiet as a church on Sunday...with the only cheering coming from the Michigan faithful making the short trip there.

So, Coach, you ask "Where'd all the Wolverines go?" Odds are you'll find out early on Saturday, and you'll wish you never asked that question ever again. Just like you said a few years ago: pride goes before the fall.

Your fall is coming.

Yeah, I'm not sweating the loss to Iowa all that much, and I'm not sweating the rankings tonight either. Michigan wins the next three and they'll be in.
How John O'Korn handles the QB spot with Wilton Speight out is the only thing that might concern me a bit.

http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2016/11/who_is_john_okorn.html

Then again, if his QB play is as strong as his Twitter game, I don't think I or any Michigan fans will have anything to worry about.

Washington only dropping to 6 is pleasantly surprising. I think if we can win out, we'd be fine. I'm just not confident that we will (never really was, either). Regardless of what happens, it's just nice to be relevant again. It's been a long road back from 0-12.

Bottom line is this: you can't put the game in the hands of the refs on the road. You just can't.

Also can't turn the ball over three times, including a pick-6 and a fumble on their one yard line. Can't get super conservative on offense in the 4th quarter either. Heartbreaking loss in an otherwise classic double OT thriller. The better team did not win that game though, and nothing anyone says will convince me otherwise.

Can only hope Michigan backs into the CFP now, but all of that's gonna depend on where they end up in the CFP poll tomorrow. If they're at 5 (or by some miracle 4), then it's possible.

Opinion not everyone's going to agree with: Michigan is one of the top 4 teams in the country, and they won't be in the playoff (well that last part is fact). That loss to Iowa killed their chances though. Don't lose that game and I think they survive a double-OT loss on the road to stay in the top 4.

And lol at Pedo State winning a B1G championship and James Franklin (Brady Hoke 2.0) trying to beg their way into the playoff. You lost to Pitt and got blown out 49-10 by Michigan.

Post by: rollntider on December 06, 2016, 01:03:26 AM
I agree Michigan is one of the top 4 teams, wished you guys had beaten OSU. IF you had would you guys have gone to the B1G title game? I think Michigan/OSU winning would have been in the final 4.


As for the Washington/Bama matchup Thai, I am not as familiar with UW as i would like. I will research some in the coming weeks. The talking heads kill me when they say a scrambling QB beats us. That is false. A dead accurate QB who can run will beat us or give us fits.

If you look at Bama's losses since 2008 they lost to a QB that played out of their mind

2008 Tebow was dropping dimes in that game, no way we win that if that happens. Utah's QB did the same.

2010 Bama had the most talent in 18 years on their roster and lost 3 games. Why ? Stephen Garcia at South Carolina who is average QB at best played out of his mind, and was not a scrambler. LSU beat us with an average QB, QB play was not a factor. Auburn - Cam Newton 28-27 dude won the Heisman and lit it up in the 2nd half.

2011 LSU - QB play was not a factor in this one. Defense won this one for them.

2012 A&M - Manziel won the Heisman that day, turned chicken shit into chicken salad with his mistakes. Example of how that day went
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtxaHwgr6ZQ

2013 Auburn everyone is talking about the kick 6, Auburn fans brag about that more than their 2010 National title or 2013 SEC title. Marshall dropped dimes and could run (regardless of lineman down field penalties that should have been called, he still played great) Oklahoma Their QB (Knight)who is at A&M now played his one and only great game and it was against us.

2014 - Ole Miss and OSU both had superb QB play in the passing game with some running involved.

2015 -  Chad Kelly at ole Miss sold his soul to the devil to be able to drop those dimes and was an adequate runner.

2016 - Though not a loss, Ole Miss Kelly played lights out although they scored late to make the score look close. Arkansas' Allen was a formidable passer in his own right and gave us a sweat. Appleby for UF in the 1st Qtr gave us shades of Trevor Knight, but his picks were his undoing.

UF is the toughest defense we have seen so far I think, even though we only scored 10 on LSU, we shot ourselves in the foot too many times (thanks Lane Kiffin). 

Top 4 defenses I have seen against Bama are

UF
USC
LSU
Auburn  (LOL at the barners bragging about their D in the iron Bowl, they gave up 500 yards to us  ;) )
Title: Re: 2016 College Football Thread
Post by: thaima1shu on December 06, 2016, 12:08:14 PM
Good stuff Tider. Well I can tell you about Washington's QB play. For the Huskies to have a chance, the Jake Browning from the first 75% of the season will have to show up. He has been fantastic for the most part this season, but may be suffering from a sore/tired arm or something which has him playing much worse than usual. He's never going to wow you with arm strength and is more of a timing/anticipation QB with (normally) great accuracy - think Kellen Moore. He's very accurate on short to intermediate throws. We've hit on a lot of explosive passes down the field, but that's more a product of our receivers than Jake. He struggles throwing deep because of his lack of arm strength, so he underthrows a lot of deep routes. Luckily John Ross has been good enough to compensate for that.

Browning doesn't handle pressure too well, so that's where I see it falling apart. I think Alabama's defensive line is going to be a gigantic problem for this offensive line to handle.
Title: Re: 2016 College Football Thread
Post by: rollntider on December 07, 2016, 12:51:47 AM
Good info, Bama's defense is nasty, but they can be beat if your QB can hit the throws quickly and accurately. Most OL's struggle with our DL, but Florida was ok for a half. You will see some fast defenders on Bama.  We can hit the edge quick and like to blitz on occasion, more than we did under Kirby Smart. Lane Kiffin likes to get cute on offense so we might make mistakes due to trying to be cute. If the cute plays pay off, then we might score a lot of points, if not, it might be an ole miss type of game where we have to play catch up to you guys.

It was impressive watching Alabama in person. First off, they're all enormous human beings. Secondly, watching them play two deep on what seemed like literally every play, press coverage on the outside, and stopping the run with only 6 or 7 defenders is incredible. That defense is just on another level.

I think Washington's defense held up very, very well given the struggles the offense was having. They were constantly put in bad field position and to only give up 17 points and force as many punts as they did left me quite satisfied. The offense obviously isn't there yet, as our offensive line can't hold up against that front and Jake Browning still has a lot of developing to do.

All in all, great experience and hopefully this is the start of things to come for Washington. A hell of a lot better than what I've been watching for the past 15 years.

One thing that aggravates me is how social media is portraying the fans saying we wont show up and support our team.

Campus was on lockdown because of this.....  idiots...  can't hang around to greet team
