Two things:

1. Thayer Evans - I don't believe half the shit in that article.

2. Big fuckity whoop. Another program doing dirty shit and a halfassed investigation that will only be fueled by media attention. So far we've seen the exact same topics in Tuscaloosa and not one drip of a news story.

I am soooooo fucking tired of this type of shit.

Fuck Thayer Evans
Fuck Pete Thamel
Fuck Joe Schad

Fuck these hack journalists that want to find any detail at all to take down a program and raise their own fucking stock. Let's find some kid who never made it to the NFL and blames his former college team, because it is their fault. Not his fault because he isn't good enough.

Garbage.

I don't have strong feelings either way about Les Miles, but this is just garbage. It's essentially the same stories they tried to sell about AU that went nowhere.

Stories about "some guy" handing them cash. No way to verify, no way to prove. It's the "when did you stop beating your wife" question.

Stories about lockerroom drugs. Again, no way to prove or disprove. Some kid said. Yeah. My daughter once told me there was an octopus under her bed. I didn't call Cousteau.

Hostesses giving sex to the recruits. Didn't Finebaum and SportsbyBrooks giggle over that for months?

The bigger picture you're missing here is that this is STILL about us. Where did half Chizik's staff come from? Trooper? Luper?

That's right. OK State. During this period of excess.

This is just the circular method of tying it back to us AGAIN. Wait and see.

This merely proves they were all right about Auburn's thug culture all along.

Oh it's proper logic. Oklahoma is the main state school just like Alabama is the main state school. Oklahoma State had to cheat to catch up to Oklahoma so therefore, Auburn did too. How else did a perennial bottom dweller rise up to the BCS? Have you even heard of Auburn before? I didn't even know they were in the SEC until 2010. They're usually just that team Alabama beats at the end of the year and then disappears. They've never won anything. Havne't done anything of merit since the 50s when they had that one year. Of course they had to cheat.

The latest from the Jasper Daily Mountain Eagle!: MyFox-Dallas has reported that the AP reported that FoxNews reported that FoxSports reported that ESPN and CNN reported that.....

LEADS TO:
Finebaum:
"Every legitimate news organization in the country is reporting on rampant cheating that occurred when Les Miles was coach at Oklahoma State. Money. Sex. Drugs. Haven't we heard that story before?

From Auburn coaches Trooper and Luper perhaps?

Idiot caller:
"Thas racht, Pawl. Them Aubies been cheatin' fer years."

Idiot caller 2:
"I bet LSU still be cheatin' Thas the onlyiest way theys gonna keep up with SABBIN!"

And so on.

Where was the rain of hellfire on Thayer Evans when he was throwing dirt, chicken bones and broken glass at Auburn?

It doesnâ€™t surprise me there are sources in this story saying the reporting was heavy-handed and leading. I donâ€™t want to make the whole thing about Thayer Evans, but thereâ€™s just no way to avoid it. Iâ€™ve worked with him. Heâ€™s simpleminded. Heâ€™s a hack that canâ€™t write. This isnâ€™t personal, I promise. I have no reason to dislike Thayer Evans personally, and I donâ€™t. But Iâ€™ve read enough of his work this guy isnâ€™t qualified for this job and by now Sports Illustrated and anybody else should be well aware of this. Type his name into Google, read his previous work, read how his previous work has been debunked and thereâ€™s just no surprise.

Quote

I hope they go Cam Newton. Remember when Cam Newton and his father were the worst thing on the planet. Oh my God. Thayer Evans was the leader of that. You would have thought Cam Newton was O.J. Simpson or Walter White. Cam Newton and his dad, who knows? Maybe they did want a couple of hundred thousand. More power to them. Itâ€™s America.

â€œ â€¦ Let me end by saying this and I honestly mean this without malice. It wouldnâ€™t shock me if Thayer Evans couldnâ€™t spell cat and I say that in all seriousness.â€

I want a Heisencam t-shirt. Why didn't we think of that?

And for the record? There's this from SI:

Quote

According to promo material distributed by SI, OSU was chosen for examination because the once-struggling program (11 losing seasons in 12 years) rose to national prominence, winning a Big 12 title and a BCS bowl in 2011.

Translation: What do mean getting uppity? Don't you know Oklahoma is the program in this state? Why were we investigated? We were getting uppity. Not allowed.

Kaos · « **Reply #12 on:** September 10, 2013, 06:58:02 PM »

As a further parallel, they're dragging an OSU FCA director into it.

Sound familiar? Thayer and Selena went after Brother Chette years ago. Same noise.

We were uppity.

I am, as of today, an OSU fan. They are my second favorite college team. I hope they are cleared, I hope they play in the national championship game -- even if it's against Bama -- and I hope they destroy whoever they play.

Go Cowboys? Indians? What's their mascot?

Derp. Even in our defense, in a piece noting that Thayer is consistently full of shit, they couldn't entertain the idea that this might be bullshit too.

This is frankly disturbing.

So they're flat out saying that Bama, Oregon, Ohio State, Notre Dame, or any other media darling has free reign to cheat their ass off.

If you're not one of the chosen few, we'll find something to discredit you.

I think that's it.

But I can't say it's a money thing. Is it a daddy issue? "We grew up watching dad root for Alabama and Notre Dame, so we want to protect that."

I can't figure it out. Auburn spends a fuckton of money on football. We are one of the main revenue makers in college football.

So what is it? Just general fanaticism?
