I agree with you. I just find it very intriguing how you can formulate this rock-solid opinion based on what the media has fed you. Your comments in the Sandusky threads are divergent on your views in the Zimmerman threads.

Intellectual dishonesty? Is that a roundabout way of calling me a liar? Are you on the jury of EITHER one of these cases? No. Then you are getting your information regarding both of the cases via the same means as EVERYONE ELSE. The Media. Your views in the Sandusky case have been iron-clad since the very beginning. You were presented the case by the media because you're not on the jury. You've never called out the media for enciting a lynch mob in this case, which they have. The evidence presented by the media is certainly there to convict this dude. However, a judge just threw out 3 of the counts due to a key witness' testimony being faulty. Maybe we should wait to see all the facts? OPPOSITELY, Your views in the Zimmerman case have been open (let's wait and see the facts come out... blah, blah) since the very beginning. This is probably the best road to take. You were presented the case by the media because you're not on the jury. You constantly barrage the media for creating this firestorm for ratings sake. The evidence is certainly there to convict this man of murder. However, key witness' testimonies appear muddled. I wouldn't expect you to say Zimmerman murdered this kid, or Zimmerman was acting in self defense, rather, I would expect you to say: "Let's wait and see what the facts spell out in the Sandusky trial". But you're not doing that.

Prep School : Hunington Prep , West Virgina AAU : Louisville Magic RIVALS SCOUT : Has him as a 3* recruit hunington : Roster. Plays on 1 of the best teams in the nation. Schools of interest/contacted : Murray State , Wright State , Loyola-Chi & North Texas

I'm glad to see this but I admit I'm a little disappointed. When I saw the title I thought we were in on some Chicago talent.

Also has the longest wingspan of the bunch at 7'3" http://www.nikeeyb.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Amare-Stoudemire-College-Roster-Alpha.pdf

Your a 1st year player is how. Ain't right, just is.

Should have been POY last season. How do you lead your conference in that many categories and not get the award?

I don't know that North Texas really began a major climb with the commitment of Dajon Williams. Like most of our faithful, I hope that it's so but beating Louisiana Tech and Montana for a Texas recruit does not mean that we have turned the corner. Williams could turn out to be the best quarterback that we've had because I like his basics in size and speed but the analysts don't concur on a high rating. Orangebloods rates him as the #8 quarterback recruit but they say that Rivals has given him a 5.7 rating. According to both the Rivals and The Old Coach websites he has not been rated. Scout does not list him at all and 247 gives him a very pedestrian grade of 75. Until there is some agreement and elevation let's just say that I'm happy to get him but not ready to say that this is a breakthrough on recruiting.

Seems to me that the jury got this one correct...as the vast majority of juries seem to do. Let the justice system run its course folks....may this scum rot in jail.

Well, it's been a good day for the rule of law, although a long time coming. I guess I WAS a bit surprised by the decisiveness of the eventual actions, but honestly, folks, don't forget that there are good citizens in Pennsylvania. I think we should give a lot of credit for the courage of those who took the stand to tell of the assaults against them. Mentally, I don't really want to think of them anymore so much as "victims"; perhaps "survivors" would be a better word. For the way they made their own case when they got their day in court, I have to salute them.

Yes, they need to pay a price, for sure, and the endowment should be considered fair game in civil actions, but I think we should remember that Sandusky, monster that HE was, was, as the judge said "found guilty by a jury of his peers". And neighbors. I do know I've encountered Penn Staters out in the world of work (some who also attended and earned degrees from North Texas). Some of them were among the finest people I could hope to meet. But, maybe it's having been with the City of Dallas (City that killed Kennedy-don't know why LA isn't the City that killed Robert Kennedy) most of my working life that makes me leery of collective guilt. And yes, those who covered up for Sandusky do need to face the fullest sanctions of the law for what they perpetuated by their inactions.

Intellectual dishonesty isn't a lie, but rather using the same logic to draw separate conclusions based on the politics or personal presence on each case, not based on the facts. Someone who is calling you intellectually dishonest isn't calling you a liar. ...but I digress. The flaw in your argument that I think led him to cite you as having been intellectually dishonest should be pretty clear. In the Sandusky case, the victims are all still alive. There are multiple victims and witnesses all telling the same story. There has also been no evidence of the media modifying any materials they have been presented by either the prosecution, defense or law enforcement to help them bolster a narrative that they plucked from thin air. None of this is the case in the Zimmerman trial. As more and more undoctored evidence comes out on Zimmerman, the more and more the original narrative that this white guy killed this black kid simply because he was black seems to be less and less likely. ...but as more and more information pours out of the Sandusky trial and more and more witnesses and victims (now including his own son) come out, the more creepy and apparently guilty Sandusky looks.

knowing UT, they'll probably drop him down after they see he committed to us

I think there are several things at play. First, CUSA started out with a consensus to add two schools (FIU and UNT). The Alliance idea was still in play and two divisions of 10 playing 9 games was rather manageable. Then MWC needed to kill the WAC in order to survive since it became apparent that the Alliance idea had some serious issues. Offering a lifeboat to UTSA and La.Tech then entered the equation. That led to ECU and Marshall to oppose because they felt there was not sufficient accomodation in the east and UAB felt basketball was getting the short end of the stick. That led to Charlotte and ODU. What was supposed to be a simple 2 team expansion mushroomed into six teams (remember WAC16 was supposed to be WAC12 and it took off). From those I've talked to the sense is C-USA is not content at 14. There is belief that the Alliance concept of a large conference having greater bargaining power with TV still has merit but MWC is not the appealing partner it once was. I am told models of 16, 18, and 20 are being discussed, 18 looks popular at this point. Timining is a significant issue because it needs to be done prior to signing the next TV deal but not so it overlaps with the ODU and Charlotte transition seasons because there could be two FCS added (James Madison and Delaware being most likely). The eastern schools supposedly would like to add JMU, UD, and FAU so that USM is in the west. With one school added in the West, supposedly UTEP wants New Mexico.

I am well aware of Young's background having lived in Houston, Young's hometown, during his UT years and early years in the NFL. As emmitt stated, that is an excuse claiming his father wasn't involved. Griffin was far more of a passer than a runner at Baylor, and, TFLF, claiming they squeaked by a few teams is ridiculous considering their weak defense was ghe cause of this and not Griffin's play. If it weren't for Griffin, Baylor would have finished below. 500. Compare Griffin's and Young's collegiate stats dor a more accurate comparison. By the way, compare their GPA's while you sre at it. I don't mean this as a shot at Young, who was a great college QB, but he and Griffin are as different as night and day.

I was able to attend the UNT team camp yesterday as I coached a HS team during the event. I would say that I was impressed with Benford and staff, but that would be an understatement. first of all, I remember benford being in pinkston to recruit tony mitchell. i know he would get out and recruit, and i think that tony's interest in marquette was primarily due to benford. with respect to the camp - benford was constantly engaging with the coaches and asking about them, their teams, offered to share any drills or help he could give them, etc. he very impressive and engaged. the 1 hour practice that the UNT team went through was high paced, purposeful, and engaging. benford was constantly coming over to talk to the HS coaches to explain what they were doing, and he was also very involved in coaching the kids to the point where he was sweating his a$$ off by the end of the practice. he also had tony mitchell speak to the HS kids, and he did that on purpose to force tony to be accountable. he has to live up to the standard he is setting. and then you have a veteran like rob evans out there getting after the kids, and bringing his years of knowledge to the staff. benford did one thing that really impressed me, besides being engaging and extremely knowledgable. he told the coaches that tony averaged 4 turnovers per game, and they were going through drills that would force tony to work on his foot work and be purposeful. the things that keep tony from complete domination are turnovers and fouls. benford has already identified these issues and is addressing them and coaching tony like he needs to be taught. i told tony that he needs to listen to those guys because they know what they are talking about. benford discussed their offensive philosophy, primarily to get a target # of post touches. I think this should be a beneficial strategy for this team with the talent on the roster. with paint touches and good player and ball movement this team should be virtually unstoppable in the sun belt. benford stated that all practices will be open. I think benford was a fantastic hire who can take this program to another level with the move to CUSA.

Tony is about not-under-the-radar as you can be for a kid that is purportedly under the radar. This has nothing to do with him being a hidden gem and everything with him playing outside the Big 6.

Wrong thread. Focus, shall we?

Another reason to hate Todd Dodge? I'll take it. But not Rodge.

So all we need to do is knock out their top two QB's ...

I feel ya. But, universities are the people that rum them. When the people that rum them willfully ignore sexual abuse of children, the entity should pay, and pay huge. If they are not forced to do so, the only lesson learned by the Penn St BOR is that if this happens again, all they have to do is fire everyone and the university won't suffer. The NCAA damn sure ain't gonna do a flipping thing, so Penn St should lose everything financially. And I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

The LHN's 400 subscribers will be crushed.

Maybe .... but it works for the people who listen to Fox.

http://sports.yahoo....olestation.html A coward to the bitter end. It would be a smart move if the defense had not promised jurors during open arguments that Sandusky would testify. I don't know about that now. Acquittal is still VERY possible. This is Happy Valley, and Sandusky was a popular football coach at Pedophile St.

That's because they are far different cases with a huge difference in evidence, witnesses, etc... But you know this. Intellectual dishonesty is fun, isn't it?

It's alright. Jones will be injured by game three, if he makes it out if spring training, and LD will move right in.

I appreciate the clarity in my absence, but I fear you are spinning your wheels. He knows everything you wrote. It's not even worth the argument.

Thank God. Kinda surprised they came back on as many as 45 of the 48 (or whatever it was)., but good for them. Now, every child he molested should file civil suit against Penn St. for the horrible coverup that allowed thus pedophile to molest kids for an additional 12 years. If I was on the civil jury, Penn St would have to start over on their endowment. Never has a university deserved to lose EVERYTHIMG than Penn St. does right now. Really hope it happens.

i wont be able to make it....so cancel lol

Not only shouldn't he be charged, he should be given a medal. I don't know anybody that wouldn't do the same thing protecting their daughter, or in my case, Sandusky better be glad it wasn't my son. Saves the taxpayer from trying this animal and then paying for room, board, and meals for life.
