Yawn…you really must’ve been bullied badly in high school huh?

 

Nope...I wasn't 5'8" and 160lbs....er, guessing your HS weight more about 120lbs.  I actually played HS football....but I guess bringing in fresh towels did make you part of the team.

Sick burn.

Closer to 130 pounds but close enough.

You really do get your rocks off boasting about high school accomplishments from the 80’s huh?

Can’t say I’m surprised.

(For those keeping track, the losers who claim to be fans of the #2 team in America have now derailed a thread called “2025 College Football Season” in order to throw middle school level pot shots).

Small manhood?  Hell, I don’t know but I do know the mods will once again let it go.

Just so you know, ADMIN/MOD team only moderates those who CHOOSE to hit the REPORT button...... 

So whining about how hurt feelings you have about middle school pot shot with no REPORT tells me at least its a big nothign burger and just more adult drama about dumb college football story that I personally do not care about in the LEAST bit

Hope that CONFIRMS things for you as well.

Nah, just confirms what I’ve stated all along.

The Temp lives rent free in some posters’ heads and they always start by attacking the post and when The Temp doesn’t back down, they attack the poster.

TDS isn’t just for the sitting POTUS.

Small manhood?  Those words or intentions not used at all.  That feeling should remain between you and your therapist.

Bragging?  Not at all...just simply indicated that I played.  If you had, perhaps your perspectives and comments would be different on a football forum.

His record against top 10 team is impressive.  That was an excellent game and win on the road.

Ah, the classic arrogant “had you played” card…so exhausting.

When I turn on my television on Saturdays and Sundays I see plenty of folks who know ball who never put on the uniform…and as a matter of fact MOST of those folks who did put on the pads actually take the side of the sign stealing being a nothing burger…

But folks like you and people in East Lansing and Columbus who live in their parents’ basements who need to validate their failures against Michigan are still crying.

In the general forum, you applaud my content frequently but suddenly I need a “different perspective” huh?

Loser.

I played the game, yet I live in my parent's basement......interesting, logical take.....🤪  The "doers" don't live in basements....they are actually are out "doing"....the "watchers".....they are the ones in basements.  Love how someone that lives in a theorical world attempts to belittle someone with practical experience.  I coached youth football for years as well....do you want to belittle that as well??  

BTW...I do think at times you bring solid content on this forum....other times I think you bring fodder.  Defending a program to the death that violated rules is fodder.  Perhaps if you had ever played the game, you would have a different perspective when it comes to playing this great game on a level playing field.  Question for you...is my validation 100% of the time that important to you?

BTW, wish my parents were alive so I could spend time with them...even if that was in a basement.

Playing the game doesn’t guarantee anything, lol.

You’ve made plenty of assumptions about me without knowing my “experience with the game”…it never stops you from making an ass of yourself.

Look up what most of the “do’ers” are saying about your “massive cheating scandal.”  You’re on the wrong side as always.

Nah, don’t need your validation.  Just love how your TDS blinds your ability to have a rational conversation.

You ignored the NCAA press release citing the infractions and impact.  Speaks volumes of your bias.  I am not on the wrong side and contend its you very much in the minority about the program's repeated violations.  Those violations will always hang over the title. You can pretend all you want...but they will always be  there.

5'6" and 120lbs in high school...yes I can make some assumptions about your impact to the game.  But hey, always very fond of student managers...grab me a towel, would ya??

Done with this.  Headed back down to the basement.  Big screen high def TV and ice cold brews.  Welcome anytime...just give me some heads up and will pick you up some wine coolers.

I’m in the minority in the echo chamber of the INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL football message board?  Whatever will I do, lol?

Here you go bringing up high school accolades again.  A real sign of someone living in the past.  I’m gonna guess that every journalist, PBP guy and football analytics guy (won’t even discuss the female sideline reporters) must all stand 6-3, 240 pounds, huh?

But hey, “I played at CG when we still rode tractors to school” holds much more respect.  Kudos.

Never been a wine cooler guy, fetch me some Bacardi with that towel.

Just back up from the basement….

I didn’t attend nor play for CG. Driving a tractor 🚜 is pretty darn cool.

Any chance Rodney and I can come? Maybe Komets and FootballKing? Sounds like a good time. I'll take the wine coolers if Temp doesn't  want them. I'll sip on my "girly" drink while utterly destroying all of you in a debate.

Oh well.  Point still stands.

Assuming one must’ve played the sport and meet a certain height or weight requirement to talk about the sport is close-minded nonsense.

Always welcome. I’ll get my tractor out of the driveway so there is plenty of parking space!!

Anyone can comment on the sport. My position is someone who has played the game has a different perspective based on experience than someone who hasn’t played. That applies to most things in life. 
 

As a example…This applies in the UM cheating scandals. You see zero issues as a fan. Had you invested your own sweat and energy in the sport, perhaps you’d have a different view of the importance of a level and honest playing field.

Longtime college football ref ‘permanently suspended’ after momentum-turning call during Auburn-Georgia game: https://nypost.com/2025/10/23/sports/sec-ref-ken-williamson-permanently-suspended-after-momentum-turning-call-during-auburn-georgia-game/

Quote

A veteran college football referee has been “permanently suspended” from officiating games after making a series of controversial calls — one of which turned the momentum of a fierce SEC rivalry game, according to a report.

The Southeastern Conference (SEC) permanently suspended ref Ken Williamson from officiating games in the conference following eleven complaints against the seasoned official and his crew during the Auburn-Georgia game on Oct. 11, sources told Yellowhammer News on Wednesday.

“According to sources, nine of those complaints were validated by conference officials,” the outlet wrote.

The game’s biggest controversy came late in the second quarter, when Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold lost the ball near the one-yard line during a QB sneak and was recovered by Georgia cornerback Kyron Jones.

Though multiple angles from ABC’s broadcast appear to show Jackson crossing the goal line before the ball was punched out, officials ruled it a fumble — awarding the Bulldogs possession after the recovery.

 

If it had been ruled a touchdown, it would have extended the Tigers’ lead to 17–0.

Georgia capitalized on the turnover, stringing together a 12-play, 88-yard drive that ended with a field goal to close the gap to 10–3 heading into halftime.

The Bulldogs ended up winning the game 20-10.

Officiating crews undergo weekly and annual evaluations that influence future assignments and postseason opportunities, according to the SEC’s officiating evaluation and accountability guidelines.

Conference regulations restrict public comment on officiating, and the SEC maintains confidentiality regarding any personnel outcomes from those evaluations.

Williamson has been officiating football for 41 years, including 15 at the high school level before moving to college, according to the Gulf Atlantic Collegiate Football officials Camp.

He has spent the last 21 years with the SEC, most recently working the 2021 SEC Championship Game and serving as an alternate for the College Football Playoff Fiesta Bowl Semi-Final.

The Post has reached out to the SEC for comment on Willimson’s permanent suspension.

Former NFL referee and NBC Sports rules analyst Terry McAulay criticized the move, calling it “insane.”

“This is insane. Ken is a very good Referee and has been for a very long time,” McAulay wrote on X.

“I’ve commented on the Ga/Auburn game and no, the crew did not have a very good game. It happens to officials, just as it happens to coaches and players. I look forward to the day an AD suspends his coach for, in a single game, poor clock management, allowing players to feign injury, bad play calls, etc.”

“Or let’s permanently bench a QB for throwing a game ending interception regardless of his past performance,” the former official added.

“*If* this is solely based on that one game, then shame on everyone involved. It’s yet another reason why Conferences should not oversee officiating and will forever be a dark stain on college football.”

In 2009, the SEC suspended Referee Marc Curles and his crew for one game and barred them from working together for the rest of the season after they made a personal foul on Arkansas defensive lineman Malcolm Sheppard in the fourth quarter of a game against the Florida Gators, ESPN reported.

It was the first time the SEC had publicly suspended a football crew.

Must have really ticked off some big SEC "boosters" (aka gamblers).
