This Offseason Has Sucked

[nddulac]

With regards to EMU (whom I still say should have changed their mascot to the Emus rather than the Eagles) - I think there are ways of counting attendance that do not require attendees to actually attend. They just have to count tickets distributed rather than actual butts in seats. It used to be that this was not allowed, but ihtink the rule may have changed at some point in order to avoid anti-trust lawsuits.

Last Friday, Sims graduated with a degree in journalism. Four days later, the school announced that the wide receiver has been granted a release from his MSU scholarship, and that the he plans to transfer elsewhere to finish out his collegiate career.

No reason was given for Sims’ decision.

Unlike How Michigan fans treat their graduates, I will wish him the best and hope he does well, except if he plays Michigan State.

Virginia quarterback Corwin Cutler announced earlier today that he would be transferring from Virginia to a junior college. Though some suspected academic issues, given that he had failed to meet NCAA eligibility requirements coming out of high school, his earlier tweet of a 2.43 second semester GPA would seem to suggest otherwise. Then came this tweet.

Arizona losing WR Kaelin DeBoskie to transfer | CollegeFootballTalk

Fortunately for Arizona, the position a transferring player plays also happens to be arguably the deepest unit on the squad.

According to the Arizona Republic, Kaelin DeBoskiehas decided to transfer out of the UA football program and continue his playing career elsewhere. While the school has yet to announce or confirm the departure, his name is no longer listed on the Wildcats’ official online roster.

While no reason for the departure was given, it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out that the depth at wide receiver played a significant role in the decision.

Ex-Cuse DT Ryan Sloan drops down to FCS level | CollegeFootballTalk

Two months after a somewhat messy divorce from Syracuse, Ryan Sloan has found a new college football home.

On Instagram earlier this week, Sloan (pictured, top right) announced that he would be continuing his collegiate playing career at Stony Brook. As the Seawolves play at the FCS level, and because he will be a grad transfer, Sloan will be eligible to play immediately in 2015.

I have a co-worker who knows his older brother and he said he's the exact same way. Funny. These scrubs aren't even good enough to see any time at all on the field yet they're God's gift. Douchebags.

You know what we need? a collection of about 15 Tennessee fans that pop out of woodwork every time their coach is mentioned like we used to have in the ESPN days during the Lane Kiffin year at Tennessee, think it's the first time since then that Tennessee had expectations of being good....man that would be fun

I don't think so... I mean, their football program didn't get any attention until they shut it down. Heck, maybe it was just a marketing scheme, so that when they bring it back it'll be more popular.
