Title: NCAA STILL INVESTIGATING LSU!!!!
Post by: Kaos on July 16, 2011, 12:12:26 PM
Alert the New York Times, USA Today, ESPN, Fox Sports, MSN, SBB, SportsNation, the LA Times, The Tampa Tribune...

http://www.shreveporttimes.com/article/20110716/SPORTS0202/107160366/NCAA-asks-LSU-not-discuss-investigation

Quote
"We're under a gag order not to discuss anything specifically," LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said Friday during a break in the monthly LSU Board of Supervisors meeting. "That means the NCAA is still looking at us and asking questions."

An NCAA official was on the LSU campus a week ago and interviewed unidentified members of the football coaching staff about LSU's relationship with Houston-based prospect scout/adviser Willie Lyles of Complete Scouting Services, according to an LSU release on Thursday.


An actual investigation as opposed to a theoretical one.

I've heard from several sources that the month of August will not be joyous in Baton Rouge.

Living in Southeast Louisiana, I haven't heard a single word about this. Not on the local sports show. Not on nola.com.

Most local media downplay shit like this.

Ours smell blood in the water and attack.

Add to that the NYT, Joe Schad, Thayer Evans, and SportsByBrooks all have raging boners for us, and if Gene Chizik farts in public, it's headline news...

I'm reserving judgement until it actually happens. Given all the bullshit that has filled the information superhighway over the past few years, I am hesitant to place my bet.

This Lyles fella is really causing some shit for several teams. Doesn't LSwho and the Ducks play this year? I guess we can call it the Lyles Bowl.

Tigerdroppings says:

Nothing to see here.  Already been handled.  Just Auburn trying to deflect attention from the hammer.  Auburn could learn a thing or two from LSU about how to handle investigations.  They don't say "no comment."  They cooperate.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Auburn doesn't run the Shreveport newspaper.   Auburn confirmed just as much as LSU has and then said no comment.  Wait.. didn't LSU say "no further comment..."   Oh, and AU didn't cooperate with the NCAA?  That's why Cam didn't get to play the second half of the season. 

Wait... he did?

Lyles tried to sell Peterson to Tx A&M.  He played at LSU, so they damn well better still be under investigation in Baton Rouge.  That's how it works here.  The difference is...LSU doesn't have an insanely jealous instate rival to pound the drum every day against them.  The local media in LA won't feed bullshit rumors about LSU to Gayer Evans, the NYT, Brooks, etc. etc.

Still waiting on the New York Times to send this news nationwide. 

Figure I'll be waiting a while.

Two ways to look at this:

Fuck the New York Times and their assault on Auburn. 

-or-

Auburn is the most interesting program in the country and has been for a decade.  Two undefeated teams under two coaches.  Should have two national titles within six years of each other. 

You do know that two national titles in that span = DYNASTY.   Look at the teams considered "dynasties"

FSU?  Two.  1993, 1999
80s Miami?  Three.  83*, 87, 89.  And 83 should have been Auburn's.
60s Bama?  Three.  61, 64, 65.  (70s Bama also won three). 


Fuck 'em.  AU is a dynasty.

from Webster's New World Thesaurus
dynasty n.  line, house, lineage; see FAMILY.

It never occured to me that "family" is just another way of saying dynasty.
I enjoyed our recent championship so much I think I'll have another... make it a double.
HAUGHTY!

Will the bomb fall tomorrow, one day prior to the start of SEC Media Days for maximum shock, or will they sit on this story and allow it to be leaked slowly into a fizzle?

IMO, if it doesn't come tomorrow, it must be incomplete.

Why can't I find poope about this story??? Most sites have like two paragraphs of info. Most forums including tigerdroppings  :puke: have nothing about it.  I can find more rehashed poope on the NYT Thermal bullpoo then I can on this awesome development. 

It almost seems as if it is getting downplayed on purpose by the media :jaw:
