Interesting. By almost every report, Murray looked notably better than Kendall. He was also on a much weaker team.

I'm not worried about FAU now that Briles is in Houston.

Everything I have heard says Mike Stoops is stay. Riley has made it clear what he wants to see and Mike has a year to deliver.

At the end of the day, unless there are criminal charges, a lot of peoples hands are tied from just passing out punishments without forking over tons of money in settlements and buyouts.

Yes, protecting them because they knew and did nothing. The issue is the NCAA likely needs new information to do anything. Simply punishing them for what they knew 8 years ago won't fly. But again, the NCAA/MSU/B10 are not criminal organizations. They are not there to punish players/coaches criminally and aren't responsible for doing so. As long as they can prove they followed procedure, there is nothing anyone can do.

It's worse than Baylor because they can't plead ignorance here. It won't be covered as much because there are multiple brands of value (MSU/B10) to protect.

Dino was one of the minds behind Briles offenses. The talent is hurting at Cuse, but the scheme is there. If Dino isn't hired by someone else first, he will definitely find a way to build that offense around AA

I think it's a great choice. Dino Barber has a good thing going there and he can really make a splash against some quality competition. If he was looking for opportunity, he will have it in Syracuse.

Terrible. You never know what someone is dealing with behind closed doors.

"The Texas Rangers announced in March that they’d look into Baylor’s handling of sexual assault by students. The Texas Rangers are the state’s top criminal investigative unit, charged with looking into major crimes. Livingstone said she does not “have any sense of the timeframe on that one."" From December

Kennedy Brooks RS last season, but remember that name. His HS numbers were not a fluke. (885 carries, 7646 yards and 96 TDs)

Missed calls by the officials, missed kicks, missed tackles, bads sacks taken by the QBs, and missed QBs were what brought it back to life.

I would be furious if OU hired him. I am not going to condemn another school for doing so, though.

Lol okay.

The girls could have pursued criminal charges at any point. Most still can. They chose to go civil and get settlement money instead, or had their case thrown out in court like the one today.

A number have had their cases thrown out, or they chose to pursue civil suits for money and no criminal suits. Again, as far as the legal system is concerned, only one rape occurred by a football player under Briles watch, and he dealt with it. Again, I'm not at all saying he is innocent, but why would you pay the guy $20 million if you had evidence to terminate him with cause?

Oddly enough, the Title IX lawsuit vs Baylor that named Art Briles was dismissed today. That means there are exactly zero pending criminal or civil suits vs Baylor/Briles. There were never any arrests. I'm not at all a Briles apologist, but at the end of the day if the man's name has been cleared, then we can't keep treating like he's guilty. That's the system we chose.

I'm referring to Tevin Elliott, who was actually the first one. He's serving 20 years for rape. Sam Ukwuachu had his conviction overturned in court.

At the end of the day, one person is in jail and was found guilty in the court of law. In that instance, Briles acted swiftly and correctly. He was also innocent enough for Baylor to pay him $20 million to leave. There should be more outrage over the former AD or president getting a job than Art Briles.

OU was 161-0 all time when scoring 48 points. They are now 161-1

Chip Brown did predict OU to go 6-6, I believe. I think he also have Texas going 12-1 and to the CFP though...

100%. Like I said, had Georgia done what people thought they would, they may have won by 30. The talent gap in this game was enormous.

I think there is a definite learning curve in managing all the responsibilities of being a head coach. I think there is plenty for Riley to improve on, I'm just saying I dont think he was shaken by it being a big game. A slow start may have suggested otherwise, but in the first half he looked like he was on a completely different level than Smart or any other coach Georgia has seen all season.

I've always thought you needed an elite level QB to beat Bama. Fromm might be good enough, but he struggled with some easy passes vs OU, despite the huge cushion all game. I'm going with Bama.

People on Rivals saying he's gone: https://oklahoma.forums.rivals.com/threads/several-folks-w-sources-on-pay-board-are-saying.102730/
