    Baffled and Amazed

    A) I can’t believe my iPhone actually had the site stored on my keychain. Not even sure iPhones existed when I last posted. B) Can’t believe my account still existed. C) Amazed to see all the regulars still here. D) Good to be back.

    The value of a degree from WVU...

    This is what comes from a degree in broadcasting from WVU. Definitely watch the video! http://seattle.cbslocal.com/2013/04/22/news-anchor-suspended-for-uttering-obscenities-for-his-first-words-on-air/

    Florida State reaction to "the Dude"

    Heard something interesting from a little birdie...

    A little birdie told me that a Syracuse alumi, whose head is quite large, was seen withdrawing his life savings yesterday. Now, I can't be sure if he's been as successful as the under-armor dude, but who knows. Could he be preparing to pay the $50 million exit fee? Again, I can't say for sure...

    Interesting comments by Swarbrick on Maryland

    In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, made a connection to this move by the Big Ten and Fox recently purchasing YES. Also said this talk has been around for a while, which leads me to believe more was known about Maryland when they voted on the large exit fee...

    Maryland move probably not a surprise...

    See a lot of talk about Swofford and ACC being caught off guard. I gotta believe they knew something was up when Maryland voted against the large exit fee. Wouldn't be surprised they knew something was up back then... I'm sure there will be a quick play by the ACC in response. I tend to...

    When does Notre Dame deal with NBC expire?

    I would guess that is when Notre Dame makes and ultimate decision about joining full or not. Someday (no clue when, maybe now, maybe 50 years from now) NBC isn't going to see the value in the big payday for Notre Dame. There are less and less ND fans each generation...

    4th and 2, 12 points down

    The other thread on this was getting a little sarcastic (which I could not enjoy more, of which I was also a guilty party) on this question, but on the more serious side, here's why I didn't mind the punt.. First, USC to that point wasn't putting together long scoring drives. One of 75. Even...

    What protects Vegas from Penn State loses?

    I don't know if there is an answer, but maybe someone has a thought. What stops someone that legally bet through Vegas against Penn State during the now created winless streak from going back and demanding their winnings? Vice Versa, what stops Vegas from going after all their payouts? Penn...

    2011 Boston Red Sox...

    As a fan of both teams, the Sox and Syracuse, I can't help but note the similarities between the collapse both teams suffered in the homestretch. In particular, the lack of pride and effort displayed from all involved. The question is, will Syracuse follow suit in the off-season?

    With Bernie already tried and convicted in public, where is the arrest?

    Everyone (outside of the SPD, Secret Service, DA and states attorney) seems to believe it's already proven, mainly because of the tape, that Bernie is a child molester. That was the real turning point of public opinion, the tape. So where is the arrest? If it is now obvious that Bernie is...

    If I had to pick a doctored part of the tape...

    I know at this point I am in the minority, but there are just too many things that don't match. While IThink there are a number of excerpts from that conversation that just don't seem to match, it's this part that sticks out most Bobby: That one time you told me you saw him, like when I was...

    Biggest question for recruits has to be, "will JB be around."

    I would imagine at this point, that weighs the most on recruit. I don't imagine disgust in what happen is a major factor, assuming they believe that this was a well kept Fine secret.

    I will say, Bobby Davis is no dummy...

    He clearly had things well thought out when he went to the Post Standard with the tape and the phone bill. I wouldn't think of that. Being an average joe shmoe, I'd figure the tape alone would be pretty concrete...

    The Private Investigator

    "Go to a place where there's gay boys, find yourself a gay boy.. You know, get your rocks off.. And be over with it." Call me the apologist, I accept it. But seriously, is that a logical part of a conversation about a child molester? You don't say that about someone who has been supposedly...

    What was with the hidden camera on Laurie Fine?

    In the piece on ESPN, they kept showing all these hidden camera shots of Laurie Fine... What was the point? Those are the types of things that are done if you want to catch someone in the act... Not if you just want a picture. And who was taking the hidden camera shots? I thought they said...

    One reason I am skeptical of the tape...

    And I will first state that maybe I have my head completely buried in the sand. I don't know, but my gut just senses something much different is going on here. Listened to the tape portions played on ESPN. There isn't one cut from that tape that, if you weren't told it was about sexual...

    Smart decision by Nassib on 4th and 11. All about field position...

    I know people are asking why not throw the ball down field... The defense wouldn't intercept it that far down field. Best bet is taking the easy 5 yards and force Cincy to engineer a longer drive. On top of that, those 5 yards gives you a better chance of getting a 2 point safety on Cincy.

    I wouldn't freak out over house being searched..

    It had to happen, guilty or not. Having two individuals accuse you of any crime is going to be enough for probable cause to get a search warrant. It's the logical next step.. If in that search they don't find anything to back up the accusations, then you start looking into the legitimacy of...

    ESPN denying Jason Whitlock- Washington Post

    Good read from Washington Post blog: Asked if the media “jumped the gun,” Boeheim replied. “That’s not for me to say.” A moment later, though, he added: “Read Jason Whitlock.” The Foxsports.com columnist criticized ESPN on Monday for reporting the allegations. ESPN found the AP account...

    Just noticed something with Davis' girlfriends interview...

    The main reason for even bring the girlfriend into any of these reports is because she "saw" how Bernie Fine looked at Bobby Davis, like he controlled him. She could tell there were secrets in Fines house, dark things, because the shades were always drawn. Here is what makes me go...

    Thoughts on Bernie Fine at Patriots game last night..

    When in 2003 did Davis approach the Syracuse Police?

    I don't see much out there about the significance of Davis first making these allegations the same year Syracuse won the National Chamionship. Would be interested if he approached the police before or after the Final Four. As a better man, I'm putting my money on after the final four, or...

    Is it possible for press to be fair reporting on sex scandals?

    Allegations of sexual abuse are probably the toughest accusation to discover the real truth... It is, for the most part, he said versus she said. Sadly, our sympathy for potential victims is so strong the many time, we are unwilling to believe there is another side. I'm watching 60 Minutes...

    Is the press really this shortsighted and stupid?

    New York law experts have told USA TODAY that Davis and the other accuser, Mike Lang, 45, appear to have no grounds for a criminal case or civil recourse to sue. Civil lawsuits must be filed within a year of the alleged offense or a within a year of the victim 18th's birthday. The statute of...

    It's amazing how consistent Davis' story is after 8 years!

    Oh, wait, no it isn't. I would find it more notable and realistic if the little details changed over 8 years. It is natural for real memories to change over time and become faded. If someone is going to try and pull off a scam, they are going to rehearse over and over and over what their...

    Seems odd to hear a "victim" that is so open in interviews...

    Usually these victims are hidden behind a blue blob with an abnormally deep voice. Usually sound very reprehensive about sharing their story. They usually feel some sort of shame (misguided shame for those that have been truly victimized). But here with Bobby Davis we seem to have an...

    Ask yourself: Why would accusers lie?

    Now ask yourself, why would someone molest young boys? If you are like me, you've come up with far more rational/logical reasons for an accuser to lie than for someone to molest them. It's far more easy to understand why one would lie as opposed to why one would molest children. How is it...

    There is the blatant bias of the reporter who is finds the self agreeing with one side of something over another... It can be politics, sports, whatever.

Far more people in society are capable of falsely accusing...

    WVU lawsuit analogy: Navy PBR boat (like in apocalypse now)
