Every single one of UGA's recruits qualified this year.
But what does Keith think about Americans not being able to find America on a map?
We love Olbermann? Really? Do we?
How can we not love a guy who spends half of his time ripping ESPN and/or Bill O'Reilly?
@Monkey Bidness: He's the voice of a new generation. My generation!
@Unsilent Majority: precisely.
In prison, Vick will have no hope of accomplishing anything worthwhile. His main goal will be "Do not drop the soap".
However, he will be released from prison one day, and when that day arrives, the media will scrutinize him constantly. His identity as a running joke, like Pacman Jones, Ricky Williams, and Lawrence Phillips, has been solidified. Vick will hope to be reinstated in some professional league (and likely will be reinstated), but he will never achieve the heights before the dogfighting scandal. Those Vick-haters, who love to see him suffer, will laugh at all of his attempts. Michael Vick is now the Sisyphus of football: doomed to fail, yet he continues to press on, in the hope that he may succeed one day.
If this posts twice, I apologize.

@Weed Against Speed:
Really? So you're a 55-year-old limousine liberal?
My beef with him has nothing to do with his political stance or his run-ins with ESPN, just the fact that he's a pompous, self-important boob.
1) Defending the Big Ten schools academically against the SEC schools needed to be done?
2) Defending the Big Ten football programs academically is pretty sad. When you're down to arguing that your athletes are 'smarter', you've already lost the argument. No one in the SEC or Big Ten is paying the players to be smart, they're paying for the football prowess.
I mean, um, "giving them scholarships to be student-athletes", not paying them per se. Yeah, that's the ticket.
@Raskolnikov: That brings up the visual of Vick franticall scrambling in the shower to avoid a mass of potential rapists chasing him around slipperly floors...
@Monkey Bidness: unlike everybody else on network television
hooray! Illini football leads the Big Ten in something!
@Monkey Bidness: heh heh heh...you said boob
@Monkey Bidness: It's a Seinfeld reference.
Honestly, I really have no problem with him.
@being sven: Yes, you've described the "Oookie Shuffle"
I totally fucked up that Camus allusion. Vick has a Sisyphean Challenge, and I don't believe he will ever be happy.
@worldcupfever: They also lead the nation in something else...

Congrats to the almost certain Fulmer Cup winners!
I don't have any NCAA Compliance, but wouldn't USC moving football players into different dorms be classified as an improper benefit for a student-athlete? Scandalous.
From The Wizards of Odds comment section:
"If I remember correctly Florida kicked Ohio States face in with their eligible players, not with the guys who didn't make it in to school."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
