    I'm in a completely different boat her with college football....

    My Alma Mater has had a rather crappy couple of seasons....  Brother @SGH can attest since they are a bit north of him...

    College - Southern Miss - my Alma Mater  & then UGA (dad went there, it was my first collegiate game ever attended - a sellout with Herschel running the ball

    Pro - don't really care, except I've got friends in the league, so I have to pull for them when they are playing - Lions & Rams from the last 2 drafts

    Hockey - whoever is on, practiced with the Mississippi Sea Wolves back in the 90's; that was fun!

    NBA - meh

    College Basketball - gotta go Memphis since my old college roommate is their Athletic Trainer

    Jort overalls are the native garb to a strange breed of white-trash commonly found in close proximity to Florida Universities :)  
    What was this kid doing in a bar?  Can an 18yr old get in a bar without a fake ID?  
    He has a lot of growing up to do.

    @YukonRon I believe Strong is gonna be great. We lost a lot of starters and we are being told to be patient.(hmmm ) all in all I think it's going to be a tough start but heading in the right direction

    Football - Fantasy only. 

    Was a NY Jets season ticket holder for 24 years and dumped them this year :).  IMO they are killing the commercials every other play.  Watching a game at home is ok so you can at least go grab a beer go to the bathroom during a commercial but at a game its brutal with all the stoppages.

    College is fun - Notre Dame.

    The real sport for me now is Hockey.  Awesome game and you never know when something will happen.  Plus my youngest kid (7) plays travel ice hockey and that takes up most of my time now.

    @NPHuskerFL - This is a very sad situation in so many ways. Thank you for the update. I understand he is young, but he is not that young to know the difference. Totally DA move by him. I wonder if he will be charged with anything?

    He will be charged and he should have learned that lesson long before 18.

    @RiverDoc - When he was at Louisville he built both character and depth to a program that survived on the fringe of NCAA accountability. He left, they brought Petrino back and he bringing in the players kicked off of other teams, back to the old times.

    I liked him as the DC at Florida and South Carolina. I was hoping UK would have hired him instead of Joker Phillips, but it did not happen. Huge mistake and set UK back 10 years.
     
    BTW the ^^^^^^funny was meant to be directed at the comment about Jerry Jones bringing the FSU QB to Dallas. My quote thing is not working, and it hit under yours.

    Don't worry about who is leaving, Coach Strong is a no BS type coach. I appreciate that.

    I cannot defend what that QB did in anyway.  But to be honest, drunk girl seemed to be getting mouthy about him squeezing in past her and she started flailing her arms and tried to hit him.

    No excuse for what he did at all, but, um, don't poke the bear.

    I agree...it is hard to tell exactly what happened but it seems like she threw the first punch.  He definitely should have just walked away and but the girl is not without fault.  If he gets charged with battery/assault then the girl should get charged as well.  

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I wonder what got her so worked up to begin with? Was it because he had a sense of entitlement, and thought she was not deserving of her space at the bar,  as he pushed on by her, causing her to get mouthy, trying to stand up for herself? Maybe when he grabbed her and was hurting her, she felt the need to try to protect herself and fought back? Hard to say, but a strong physical guy clocking a woman, is the final result. Only one walked away bleeding, and it wasn't him.
    I dunno, if it was my daughter, I would see it her way. If he were my son, I would find it hard to justify, I think.

    @YukonRon watching it it would appear he bumps her, she raises her hand, he grabs her arm, defending herself slaps him to be released, he pauses a moment & then he lays down a wallop that appears might have made her nose bleed, he walks away and not ONE person steps in to stop it or to check on her. 
    As natural as it was too him my personal belief is this was not the first woman he hit. Just the first he got caught on camera. He's only "sorry" because now the Noles don't want him and the likely criminal charges to follow. They (Noles) don't need another Winston like QB with personal issues distracting from their team. He made a poor "CHOICE" & will have to pay the consequences which for him could cost him career wise. I don't buy the "he was provoked" statement. If he's that easily provoked he has no business playing for anybody anywhere.  "Mr. Football" pfft :nuh_uh:

    You guys are speaking with too much logic, reason and personal accountability.....very few in the younger generations subscribe to this school of thought.

    Simple rule: If you are a college athlete, only hit you opponent!  Otherwise, with cameras everywhere and in everyone's pocket, you are going to get screwed!

    And 19 in a bar?  Been there, done that.  Done stupid things that I'm glad were not in today's electronic times; but

    I've been a Nole fan for close to 40 years but the last thing we need now on a road back to the great days is someone like this. Winston pushed the limit but this isn't right. Glad the canned him.

    Haha.. I knew I'd get a rise out of someone!  Nice come back too! Classy for sure, or wait... Rich is the term.  I wasn't judging his ability at all.  If I had to say, he's not the top, personally, in the top tier for sure though.  

    The scandal?  It's pretty good actually... The report that came out mentioned Roy WIlliams once, and that was to say they interviewed him.  Football is already climbing out of their hole and have new light.  

    You must have butt sore still from Urban Meyer and the Buckeye's beat down on the Tide.

    That's speculation/fantasy.  Entitlement?  The legal system will work it out.  His lawyer said she uttered racial epithets, who knows what really happened.  He shouldn't have hit her even though she threw a punch.
