It was savion Smith. Don’t really care lol

ETA: pretty sure he was a High 4 star on most sites by the end of the recruiting cycle. My bad.

And I worded it incorrectly. He said “Clemson was the only school who didn’t Cheat during recruiting”

Great thread.

There were rumors that half the Blackhawks were cheating on their SOs with a local weather reporter. And Patrick Sharp was completing the debauchery circle by also banging his teammates' SOs. A Chicago radio host made an innocuous joke about the "closeness" of the team and was promptly suspended, which didn't help dispel the rumors.

Here Come the Hawks!

The SEC Headquarters was moved from Jackson Miss to Birmingham in 1948. Well we all know the reason behind that shite.

I'm sure many people have heard the rumors about the NBA rigging the Anthony Davis lottery to help finalize the sale of the team and keep them in N.O. long-term.

I've also heard people say that in the 2006 NFL Draft, the NFL "encouraged" the Texans not to take Reggie Bush so that he could go to the Saints. He was clearly the most marketable team at the time, and nobody imagined what Payton and Brees would do to that team.

Heard the 06 draft one before.

Here is one I heard one time but I do not believe. If it’s true though it’s crazy as hell. Rice was offered to join the SEC back when Arkansas joined. Rice turned the SEC down and got South Carolina instead.

That's a new one.

Kind of in the same vein, legend has it that when the University of Chicago left the Big Ten, there was an agreement struck with the other members that if Chicago ever wanted back in, they would approve it.

No documented proof has ever surfaced about it, but some old-timers around here say the agreement is still out there due to Chicago being a "member" of the Big Ten academic consortium.

You started the thread as a reason to post this.

A secret EMP blast test caused the Clint Stoerner fumble against UT in 1998.

There’s a great YouTube video about EMP blasts but the main subject of the video is Kansas State fumbling and losing the 1998 Big 12 Championship game.

Strawberry I thought. He had a point man that would basically find women in the crowd and set it up.


Fernando Vina was really good at this, he had 2 point men, one working the clubs, the other working bars and casinos. They would scour the places, then hit another to find chicks he would like, then make contact, they get the card, or if things go real well with point man, a key to downtown hotel.

Tennessee or Arkansas fans stole it from Kansas State fans. I’m trying to find the video. I don’t know if it’s still up.

So wait, the EMP test was originally a Kansas St conspiracy that was hijacked by Tennessee or Arkansas?

The plot thickens.

Jeff Alm, a former tackle for the Oilers, shot himself in the head because his buddy bit his dick off during a car crash
