Game/championship forfeitures are usually the next-to-last sanction brought to a University. The final one is what I like to call the SMU.

That depends on the infraction. Scooter taking gifts in 2004=Scooter is ineligible. UT then forfeits games involving Scooter. It's only fair...they wouldn't have won the damn game without that freight train anyway.

Now THAT'S comedy!

Ahhh. God bless East Cleveland and the ignorance that it breeds in people.

I find this quote the most amusing:

How can a student who has taken summer classes since being on your campus be academically ineligible for anything?

Gee, I dunno...fail them?

The more the guys family shoots its collective mouths off, the dumber they all look. I don’t know if the articles author intended to leave their comments out there to be joked about, but that was the effect the quotes had.

So will we really be credited with a win in the '04 game?

Is there a way to send MACMAN a sign in the email that says, "Give it up!"

Scooter's family is nuts with those quotes. They sound extremely stupid...does he get his intelligence from them? Dang, it's too bad he's ineligible.

MM,
You've gone overboard here. Enough with trashing OUR players.

AGREED! Real fans will admit our Falcons are not perfect but there is no reason to throw them under the bus.

So when do we play Michigan?

This opinion might not be the most popular on this thread, but I know several UT grads....and I haven't heard good things about Scooter McDougle.

I'm really wondering if this "witch hunt" hasn't come about because there have been suspicions about McDougle doing a lot of things, but there hasn't been enough evidence to pin anything on him.

I've got the impression that this entire mess has come about because the point-shaving and kickback-taking bit is the only thing that they have been able to produce any evidence for.

Like I said, I only bring it up because I have heard some rather not nice things about McDougle. If the stories I have heard are true, this theory might have something to it.

Just a thought.

Go Falcons!
