The guy was having so bad of a season he didn't even get invited until MSU started recruiting him for some dumb reason, and then suddenly he was named as the starter. The organizer claimed that since MSU wanted him, he must be good (even though he was terrible) so he deserved the start. Caring who plays in a high school all-star game is generally dumb, but caring about potential recruiting violations is not.

Tonight on NBCSN, there was a commercial for a class-action lawsuit against the NCAA, regarding concussions. Same style as those other lawsuit ads over diet pills or something, but with a football helmet graphic and specific mention of the NCAA.

In hindsight, it was probably a blessing in disguise to not be subjected to Brantley's QB play, but it irritated me that the kid got a spot solely because of his name. I was so excited for JB to be a Gator.

Penn State just launched a program for recent graduates (2010-2014) to get season tickets at a reduced rate ($300/ticket). So now I have season tickets as an alumnus, which is a bit strange but awesome

Texas loses and at least one fan debates whether or not he could get away with murdering the QB or whoever and hanging him from a bridge because it would blend in with the other bodies.
