Unless you follow Minny football the only and ONLY reason they even were in games last year was because they had a NFL qb with Adam Weber who just took over Tim Tebow spot at number 3 in the depth chart. Without him one of their redshirt freshman will be starting and now without Weber who only threw 8 picks to like 24 td last year expect a lot of Turnovers and Minny offense to take a MAJOR step backwards this year and considering their defense was already horrible teams like USC will look to take their frustrations out on them early and often during the season. Kiffin is a terrible coach but wayyyyyyyyyy too much talent on USC for them to just not completely blow them out of the water; last years game showed the talent disparity but now with Weber gone to help overcome some of the problems its open season.
Cecil Newton needed 50k or his church would be shutdown & Newton will not say where money came from. It looks like this is why his dad who is a preacher needed 50k or the governement was going to shut his church down for a ton of violations. We already know Cam Newton is a criminal willing to steal and get booted out of Florida now his dad was desperate and they had a booster funnel the money to pay for the church repairs. The church was fixed all to code and no one including the minister whose job depeneded on it will say where the money came from. Are you kidding me????? Newton is going to talk to the FBI this week or next and if he lies to them he is going to PRISON.
Rogers said last week on the same show when asked about the recruiting scandal that “a school has never paid me for a kid. An alumni has never paid me for a kid. Period. Point blank.”
Cecil Newton has denied any wrongdoing. He has admitted that he knows Rogers, but has said if Rogers solicited money, he did it on his own.
Rogers said Thursday his reputation was being attacked and people were “acting like the Newtons didn’t know anything about anything.”
Rogers’ lawyer, who was also on the radio show, said his client has been contacted by the NCAA, but not by the FBI.
Rogers said he didn’t know anything about Cam Newton’s recruitment at Auburn and didn’t know if Cecil Newton, a preacher in Atlanta, planned to funnel any money into his church.
Documents obtained last week by The Associated Press through an open records request show the city of Newton, Ga., had been pressuring the minister to make some $50,000 in repairs to the structure since June 2008. An inspector found multiple problems, including a lack of smoke detectors, sprinklers and rear exits; moldy insulation; faulty wiring; rotting wooden doors and broken windows.
Cecil Newton would not say where his church got the money to perform the improvements required by the city.
In an e-mail to the AP, NCAA spokesman Stacy Osborn wrote that “solicitation of cash or benefits by a prospective student-athlete or another individual” could either be a secondary or major violation depending on the specific situation. She also wrote that “the school must make the determination whether a student-athlete is ineligible. Once they do so, they could request reinstatement from the NCAA on behalf of the student-athlete.”
Rogers declined to name the two MSU assistants at the hotel.
Mississippi State released a statement on Wednesday saying that it has sent information to the Southeastern Conference regarding Cam Newton’s recruitment. Former MSU quarterback John Bond, who initially reported that Rogers talked to him about a cash payment for Cam Newton, told ESPN he will be interviewed by the FBI on Tuesday.
Rogers again denied talking to Bond during Thursday’s interview, but he identified Bill Bell, another former Mississippi State player, as a contact between he and Bond. However, Bond told ESPN that he has phone records that will prove he spoke directly to Rogers.
This is straight from the locker room from the head coach to both OC and DC not some sharp. This game is blowout city. NO BS. More info to come. Will post game Saturday!!!! When all the people that come into this thread and make dumb remarks just make sure and come back to apologize after the game. Thanks
I already know what people are going to say. But this is not the same BYU teams of old; they rank 100th in total offense and just lost one of their starting qbs for the season. They were alternating games. BYU coach doesnt get it. BYU has never finished below the top 20 in offense in 10 years and are coming off two blistering losses. Counter that with a Nevada team that Cal coach said this team can play with any team in the country and yes I know the history of these teams and I am big on history but with a 4 pt spread and a Nevada team that can run and pass. Also this BYU team is not the defensive teams of the past either.BYU if they get down Nevada is going to pile on. They just crushed Cal and still are not rated. Hate laying anything on the road in a rivalry game but BYU just donest have any offensive punch this year. And please if anyone comes in and jumps on BYU tell me why I dont see it. Also another reason history is different is Nevada record against Cal before that game was 1-21. OUCH Now its 2-21. This Nevada team is for real.
This is a blowout. A woodshed beating; I bet this every year; and every year its a blowout; get on it now before the line sores; Kentucky has not played a team with a WIN; Louiville, W Kentucky and Akron; give me a break; ; they just beat Tenn by 2 TD on the road; FL defense is REALLY GOOD; regardless of how their offense is playing;
Last Week 3 easy wins with Tech, OK state, and Stanford and now they give a freebie out with Fl AT HOME against the team they throttle every year. And dont give me this look ahead to Bama; these are 18 year old kids; in this game they have every single advantage; coaching; talent and HOME FIELD;
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUT!!!!!!!!
