Recently, the Big Ten decided to fire a referee after learning he lost an eye years ago in an accident and didn't bother to tell them about it. Word on the street is that Michigan's coach dimed him out after learning about his handicapability. Early reports also have him being promoted to the head of officiating for the SEC...wait...turns out that having 50% of his vision makes him overqualified for the position.
Speaking of random acts of online douchebaggery, a report out of the UK (England, not the University of Kentucky, you have to specify around here) wonders why being online turns so many of us (and by that I mean YOU) into "raving arseholes". From what I can deduce, he blames our (dammit, YOUR) nastiness on a healthy dose of the sauce and a desire to be journalists. Which isn't even applicable in my case: I was only going to switch to journalism if I failed out of biology.
And speaking of failing out, the latest gossip in the SEC offseason involves revelations of lax coursework for athletes (shocked, shocked I tell you) at Auburn. As reported by the...New York Times??? and gone over in detail from your #1 source for all things SEC, EDSBS. For those inclined to delve into such matters, the comments section degrade quickly into two camps: the Auburn fans "All is well, REMAIN CALM!!!, Everybody else does it, It's a Bama conspiracy" and everybody else. And now fans of other leagues are piling on.
