Is Dooley really working for the Cowboys? Will one of my teams at least attempt to be competitive?

Getting old. 25 year anniversary of the LSU/Aburn game known as the "Earthquake game" because when we scored near the end of the game to upset No. 4 Auburn it registered on the seimograph across campus. It was the only loss of the season for Auburn before they lost in the Sugar bowl after losing out on a title.

"It was unique," said Milner, now a research associate for the Louisiana Geological Survey. "I was there at the right time, just recognized it as something unusual. Something went on, but what was it?"

He took the seismogram to researcher Donald Stevenson, who was in charge of LSU's seismic program. Together they backed up the time and it coincided with the end of the football game.

"We didn't believe at first, but started looking at it closer," Milner said. "It was a total surprise. We never expected the seismograph to pick up the ground shaking from a football game."

Auburn coach Pat Dye, a defensive-minded coach whose toughness impressed LSU players and coaches, said afterward it was one of the best defensive games he'd ever seen.He's still calling it the toughest loss he's had to endure.He made the comment three times during a 15-minute interview this week.

The loss cost Auburn a shot at the national championship, won by Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl against No. 2 West Virginia. Auburn went on to shut out its next three opponents and lead the nation in total defense.

After going to every game during the 2002 - 2010'ish period it is depressing that it'll be a while before the games are that good again. Those years the Auburn vs. LSU game was so much more exciting than Auburn vs. Alabama. Not particularly looking forward to Saturday (plus will be coming back from Honeymoon and basically a week long bender), but who knows. This game has always had a touch of the whacky.

The NCAA has a 4 year statute of limitations on this stuff anyways.

Isn't this shit starting to seem like "Willie Nelson smokes weed" news stories? College football players are getting all kinds of impermissible benefits all over the fucking place because it's obnoxious to use them as indentured servants in a multibillion dollar industry - news at 11!

Just pay them, can't believe the $2000 stipend or whatever is still on the drawing board.

I've got mixed feelings about this. On one hand you have kids making millions for Universities. On the other you have kids going to college for free, looking at the new center at Oregon, they certainly don't suffer any sort of hardship. I paid for my college years and make about half some of these piece of meat players they shit out.



EDIT I leave for Malaysia for 3 months on Monday, wont be seeing the ducks much.

On the other hand, I will be back just in time to head to Pasadena if such things should happen.

LSU game is going to be a mess with all the rain they've had and it's starting up again. Closed 3 tailgate lots due to flooding so you know it's serious.
