		<description><![CDATA[Not only did they fall from the summit at such a break neck speed that it set ncaa records but then they let Jay Jacobs once again botch the new hire that will cost a minimum 5 years to even get turned around. Mark my words, they will have a decent year next year maybe 7-5 (+1-1) but it will be universally considered a &quot;rebuilding year&quot; and as the power struggle that plagues the AD dept. continues its course, discontent will once again rear its head and in 3 seasons the program will be back to its current condition. But hey I&#039;m not (ahem ahem) enjoying this either but 3 out of the last 4 helps. Just saying. RTR!!!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[See, Auburn sucks so bad now, they aren&#039;t even worth making fun of.  It&#039;s like kicking a homeless man.  Why would you do such a thing?  You have no other choice but to feel sorry for them, and laugh when they can&#039;t hear you.  

Auburn is that freaking pathetic right now.  But I didn&#039;t say I wasn&#039;t enjoying it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Helps you understand how Paul Hornung, running back off the 2-9 notre dame squad, WON the heisman in 1956. 

You can halfway excuse the S B Tribune. 

Sports Illustrated?

ESPN??

They didn&#039;t want to check. They wanted to believe. It&#039;s old notre dame. 

Cheer cheer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The crazy thing is I wanted him to win the Heisman, albeit mostly because of him being an all-defense nominee.

If he had won the trophy, I think we all would have been ok with it, maybe even happy with the choice, including over Manziel.

But then we would have changed our minds this week.

Same thing if the story had broken before the BCS title game.  

The media was busted.   Someone showed them they did their jobs wrong.  But now they&#039;re out for blood, and since college football is over until August they have plenty of extra time on their hands.  They are going to uncover everything they can.  They will get phone records (you need a court order, people say, but the media will find a way, just watch).  They will find out who is responsible.  And someone will get in trouble. 

But will it be Te&#039;o?    I don&#039;t know.   I actually kinda don&#039;t think so, but it&#039;s incidental; his performance in the BCS game alone probably cost him more money in the NFL than this will.   After all, it&#039;s not like he shot himself in the leg at a night club, or drove his motorcyle on ice without a helmet and later crashed and broke several bones, or hosted a dog-fighting club, or killing a teammate while driving drunk, etc.    All of those things have been done in the NFL, some by title winners.  He&#039;ll get drafted, no question.

But for now, this story is just plain fun.   I feel bad for the guy, a little bit at least.   But it&#039;s impossible not to have fun with it right now, especially since college football is completely gone again for another eight months.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A good in depth look at the culture of shoddy journalism at The South Bend Tribune should not be forgotten. They were the ones at the forefront disseminating this tale. They never once, even out of common curiosity, sought to interview this, uh, woman, this stanford grad, this te&#039;o motivator... no. nothing. The South Bend Tribune is equally complicit in the myth making. Today? That garbage paper is not reporting on themselves, but spinning the story as far away from themselves and their involvement as possible. Try posting on a story at their site. They are cleaning out even mild posts that question their ability, their journalistic integrity. The South Bend Tribune should be at the forefront of that which is ridiculed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#039;t tell you how happy I am that you wrote this article! You are 100% spot on! I thought the same thing when all of this happened. 

The news/press/media has a purpose and because of various reasons, that purpose has gone unfulfilled for quite some time. In recent years, the news/press has gradually stopped doing their job. They&#039;re afraid to step on people&#039;s toes. They&#039;re afraid to lose ratings. They don&#039;t care about what they should care about anymore and that&#039;s a shame. 

The good thing though is that the job is still being done. But it&#039;s being done by regular people. Bloggers and small time writers are doing what the almighty press should be doing. The only bad thing about this is that there are many issues that, even when truly discovered, will never make it to the masses because they&#039;ll have no way of hearing about it. This thing was huge, but for every huge thing like this, there are tons of smaller and even more important issues that aren&#039;t being covered by the media. Or if they are being covered by the media, the media is being cynical about it. 

Thanks!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How dare you type some suggestions, actually, shameful allegations without one ounce of proof--and, by setting yourself up as an &quot;expert&quot; on who or who is not gay. In fact, being gay does mean that one cannot be a great football players; and, many well known athletics have been gay but chose not to share their private life with the public. Your reference to AJ make me especially angry as he is one of the finest of human beings/the greatest of all Alabama quarterbacks of our time--and, for you now to trash by ugly suggestions about his sexuality. I, for one, if he were my son if he was gay or not, t would love him just the same, being so proud of all that he has helped Bama/the state of Alabama, the SEC, to achieve. Again, I believe your comments to be shameful--not worthy of a true Bama fan.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good story. Kudos to Te&#039;o for keeping things going between Jan 8th and National Signing Day. Bwaa Haww Haww! The real bullshit in his story that he was a victim is that his daddy said he met her in oerson at a Stanford game and that she visited him several times in Hawaii. What the fuk? Don&#039;t try to tell me Te&#039;o wasn&#039;t part of his own scam. The publicity since early in the season got him a ticket to New York and the biggest load of awards in history. All that was gonna translate into millions of dollars before the dhit hit the fan. And he isn&#039;t near ad good an LB as Mosley is. And what the hell was Notre Dame a.d ESPN thinking by continuing to purpetrate a known hoax on the viewing public a full two weeks after it was revealed to them. There needs to be some heads rolling over this.  Onsider this - Notre Dame promoting this and allowing ESPN to promote it is FRAUD.  Do you remember what piss poor excuse the NCAA used to bust Penn St&#039;s chops? FRAUD. can&#039;t wait to see this one through. Bwaa Hawe Haww! RTR!]]></description>
