Same here. It is highly entertaining.

One that I didn't see mentioned was Quincy Carter throwing the 2000 South Carolina game to pay off a drug debt. It was mind blowing how bad he was that day but then he turned out to have a shitty overall season

That was the most surreal Gamecock game I've ever seen. We tore down the goalposts the week before after snapping a 21 game losing streak. Even the sunshine pumpers thought we'd lose by 30+ to UGA. Most Gamecock fans I know still think Carter threw that game.

Hugh Culverhouse owner of the Tampa Bay Bucs and big time Alabama booster conspired to get Bo Jackson ineligible to play in the NCAA to get him out of Auburn and to get him on the Bucs.

Damn good chance this is true. The women liked Kiffin and I don't see Lane having any boundaries. If fact he probably did it and let Nick find out just to piss him off.

That’s not a rumor that’s a legit fact. They took him on a plane ride and told him it wasn’t against NCAA rules to dupe him into killing his eligibility

He talks about it on one of those NFL film shows. It’s specifically the reason why he sat out that entire season so he wouldn’t have to play for the bucs


quote:

In addition to giving Jackson an ultimatum to pick between sports, Buccaneers management took Jackson on owner Hugh Culverhouse's private jet to visit with the team during his senior baseball season. Jackson was told by the Buccaneers that the trip, which could have cost Jackson his remaining collegiate eligibility, had been cleared by the NCAA. Jackson was later told by his baseball coach at Auburn that the trip was considered to be a violation of NCAA rules and that he was immediately ruled ineligible to play the remainder of the baseball season. Jackson, upset that Culverhouse lied to him, insisted that he would never play for the Buccaneers and that they could draft him if they wanted to, but he would not sign if he was drafted. It was said that Jackson, who was having what he called his best year playing baseball in school, made the Buccaneers nervous and that by getting him somehow ruled ineligible to play baseball, he would be forced to focus on football.[31]

I forget the poster now, but over at GatorCountry a poster said he had thanksgiving dinner at saban's house.

That Jeremy Foley fricked.co-eds from the volleyball team.

Bob stoops was Florida's next coach, done deal.

Urban fricked a co-ed.

Spurrier only left for Washington after Foley wouldn't make Fsu accountable for hurting earnest graham.

Rex Grossman fricked Jill Arrington

That dan Mullen didn't spend anytime with leak at practice, only Tebow( I can verify this one).

That cm punk punched Vince McMahon in the face.

I always heard Bob Stoops had oil rights in his contract and he could never coach anywhere but OU.

this is all but verified. Apparently Pruitt and Thomas Brown didn’t like each other at all.

It would probably easier and more shocking to state the coaches who aren’t running around with coeds. I mean given the logistics of the situation, it’s bound to happen atleast once over the course of a long coaching career


Hell there’s a large chunk of high school football coaches that stick their hand in the cookie jar.

I thought this was a fact. Not sure about if he got her pregnant, but he was definitely messing around with her.

You ain't kidding. This whole thread makes me anxious thinking how much stress it must add to these coaches lives by cheating

I never believed that one. Look at his records at Nebraska:

1998: 9-4
1999: 12-1**
2000: 10-2
2001: 11-2*
2002: 7-7
2003: 9-3

* = National Championship appearance
** = Big 12 Champions

He won the Big 12 once in his career. He had an abysmal season following the National Championship loss in '01. Eric Crouch had left and the fans were starting to see the writing on the wall.

The 2003 team, while a pretty good record paper, were boat raced in their three losses to conference foes (24-41 Mizzou, 7-31 Texas, and 9-38 Kansas State). It certainly wasn't like they were competitive in those games. Husker fans were looking at that as two abysmal seasons back-to-back, something many have never experienced as NU fans.

ETA: I did hear that Solich was a pretty big boozer.
