Woah. RT @JimMWeber: Unconfirmed rumors swirling that Thayer Evans has been fired from Sports Illustrated. Would be epic disaster for SI.

Oklahoma State
The fallout from Sports Illustrated's "big" story has increasingly continued to gather more around SI and writer Thayer Evans than the Cowboys' program -- at least for now. After part three of the report alleged wide-spread marijuana usage, four more players had harsh word for Evans, alleging they were misquoted or simply recanting their stories. ESPN's Brett McMurphy then turned his attention to Evans's story, finding multiple errors just by checking university records.
One former player did have harsh words for the university -- outside of the report. Artrell Woods, who broke his spine in a weightlifting accident while playing at the school, would like some medical compensation now please.
SEC
In other investigation news, Fletcher Cox, D.J. Fluker and Chad Bumphis are all complying with their respective former schools with regards to the Yahoo! investigation that alleges they took money from agents through a former Alabama player. Cox declined to comment, while one of the agents allegedly involved called the report "libelous".
Tennessee defensive tackle Mo Couch, the lone player named in the report who is still playing at the collegiate level, was declared ineligible by the team for the school's upcoming game against Oregon.
Texas A&M-Alabama
As the country gears up for what could be the biggest regular season game of the college football season, all eyes remained focused on Aggie quarterback Johnny Manziel. Former Auburn (and NBA) star Charles Barkley dislikes Johnny Football so much that he will root for his rival Tide on Saturday. In terms of Alabama's game-planning to stop Manziel, it looks like linebacker C.J. Mosley will be the quarterback's spy for the game.
How big is this game? Texas A&M's Midnight Yell, a tradition the night before each game, is being televised on ESPN3 ... and Drake may possibly show up.
South Carolina
Steve Spurrier has even more power than you thought. The Ol' Ball Coach managed to remove sportswriter Ron Morris from The State's South Carolina beat and placed his friend in the job instead. The State has since announced Morris's return.
West Virginia
Linebacker D'Vante Henry has been kicked off the team after being arrested for second-degree assault. The three-star junior college transfer was reportedly already on probation with the Mountaineers.
USC
St. Louis rams head coach Jeff Fisher shot down rumors that he would replace Lane Kiffin at USC. Kiffin, by the way, is still the Trojans' head coach. Fisher played his college ball at USC.
Texas Tech
In actual game news, the Red Raiders upset the visiting No. 24 TCU Horned Frogs, 20-10, in a wild game. With nearly two dozen penalties between the two games and a few apparent missed calls, Horned Frogs' Gary Patterson tried his hardest not to comment on the officiating after the game.
Tulane
Tulane got their second win of the year -- matching their total from the entire 2012 season -- with a big upset on the road at Louisiana Tech. Skip Holtz's Bulldogs looked helpless against the Green Wave defense and last year's top offense in the nation has looked stagnant thus far this season.
Arkansas State
The Red Wolves moved to 2-1 under Bryan Harsin with a 41-34 victory over Troy. Recaps of all three games are available here.

I hope that Ops guy doesn't think his cologne did that to me. He reeks.

Official Statement: Rumors of any SI editorial staff changes are inaccurate.

Just like their reporting! Hey-oh!
But in all seriousness, they haven't released part 4 yet. Had been released first thing in the morning. Now they're delaying it.

My bet is that it's all about publicity and dollars. Whatever they do, it'll be about money. Journalistic integrity? Yeah. Right.
Even if we hear, "We found some inaccuracies in several parts of the stories....yadda, yadda", don't buy it. And don't buy a copy at the checkout counter either.

It's a five part rinse and repeat visual that more or less started with Sixty Minutes. Say it enough and it becomes gospel for the masses.

tl;but read anyway. How in the fuck does Charles Barkley always end up on the wrong side of right?

It's sort of funny to me that Auburn laid the groundwork for Evans to fail and the OSU story to go away.
Wasn't he also trashed over the fake girlfriend story too?
Our refusal to buckle under the weight of his constant lies significantly weakened him despite him landing at SI. His credibility was suspect already.
When his name was attached to the piece, people started looking for holes, searching for lies. Because WE exposed him as a fraud before.
I expect a thank you letter from OSU in the near future.

...and of course SI turns around and makes another huge mistake.

First, as an Oklahoma State fan, I would like to say 'thank you' to Kaos and the Auburn Nation for getting the ball rolling on this hack Thayer Evens. Well, really it was the University of Texas that was first, back when TE was with the New York Times and tried to rear end the Longhorns. NYT's had to write a retraction and Thayer was shown the door. Then his attack on Cam. I think any person who read any of the crap he wrote about Auburns former Heisman Trophy winner could see that he had some personal vendetta.....almost like he was being paid to try and sabotage the voting. He is a hack and a whore and has no journalistic integrate. Good luck this season, War Eagles!
Ride'um Cowboys!
