Football Saturday!

[Feathers and Fins]

I will say this I do not know if Florida would have won last night without JW and think there will always be an ( * ) on this season with him especially if he is later charged. I am not sure why he wasn't but suspicious of it. DNA says at very least he was there and did do the nasty. If later he is charged and found guilty does the NCAA make Florida vacate this season like they did to Penn?

My personal feelings is as soon as this surfaced Florida should have removed him from the rooster just in case, nothing against the guy I don't know him but I have seen the NCAA do stuff to teams that I do not believe they should have and could see them doing it here as they allowed him to keep playing after allegations were made. Had they benched him at minimum then It would have been more difficult for the NCAA to sanction the team. I say this because I do not think this story is over and I HATE SEEING TEAMS PENALIZED for the actions of one person.

And I will state I despise the NCAA, they IMO need to stick to making sure academics rules are followed and stay out of the ( Criminal / legal affairs ) end of the sport. IMO Criminal and Legal should be handled by LAW ENFORCEMENT and the COURTS. But after Penn I fear the NCAA will get involved in far more and that IMO could detract from good teams, good players and good coaches and that to me isn't right.

Have to disagree Scott. Once again the media brings about something that 20 years ago we probably wouldn't have heard about. A year has passed since the incident, obviously the prosecution had time to file charges if they had a case. They didn't think they did. He said she said won't go over well without some good witnesses against the defendant. The media makes everyone guilty until proven innocent, no reason in the world the player should be suspended unless charges are filed. I don't know what happened and there is a victim for sure, but it could just as easily be JW as it could be the girl, only two people really know.

As for Mizzou's season I agree they were much better than we thought, but I am left disappointed. One game away from a shot at the title won't come around very often, and to get beat by a team not having to throw the ball just blows my mind. I am left thinking our defensive coaches dropped the ball, and that the SEC west is much better offensively than I thought.

Justin, its not so much the media though it is to a degree my concern is the NCAA and what they might do if somehow charges to get filed later. Taking nothing away from JW but if he falls my concern is the NCAA pulling a Penn on the school and their reasoning being "The school should have acted or who in the school knew and did nothing"

Had you told me the NCAA would have dinged Penn State at one time I would hell I did say its criminal charges and they wouldn't go after an entire school and program no way. I was wrong they did and that is my fear here. I read the DA reports but that doesn't mean this girl and her family cant keep making it an issue until something is done in legally and then where does the NCAA go with it?

As for Mizz they really looked like deer in headlights I have no clue why they dint stack the box and make Auburn earn the corners and throw more. But when they did go corners they made plays, the pass game might have been their weakness but we will never know as Mizz didn't make it an issue. Mizz did a great job getting there but seemed to fall apart could it have been jitters? could it have been inexperience? or could it just been bad game plan an unwilling to take serious risk? We will never know.

I would love to see Mizzou play one of the old Big 8, just for old times sake.

The thing that disappoints me about Mizzou is that I can't for the life of me understand why they would run a pass defense against a strong running team? 3 down and LB's back is a pass/prevent defense, period. When you give up twice as many points to a team as you have allowed all year and allow almost as many points as a FCS team does, someone didn't report for work.

I think there's a lot of Mizzou fans wondering the same thing.

BINGO!!!!!! It's called Gary you are either too bullheaded to make an adjusment or you just don't have the balls to do so......either way he screwed his kids with that defensive scheme and not adjusting......those kids played their hearts out but, our coach is a bullheaded fool. They did have a good season though but, coaching or lack of killed them in their only two losses.
