USC CB May Not Be Telling The Truth About Drowning
Coach Sarkisian has received a few contradicting stories about the events of the drowning. Looks like this story may not be over, and it's not looking good for Josh Shaw.
Sarkisian says he has received contradicting stories on Shaw and what happened. He said team is investigating.

And USC may be trying to one-up Notre Dame's fake dead girlfriend with a fake drowning nephew? Now that's a rivalry

This is sooooo awesome. I almost spit out my cabbage and corned beef.

Are you saying that he didn't injure his shoulder helping to carrry furniture out of his parent's house during a forest fire? Is the truth that he fell off a four wheeler???
August 26th, 2014 at 1:57 PM ^
exasperrated man. What is wrong with people.
August 26th, 2014 at 2:00 PM ^
... I thought that was a pretty weird story. Curious to see if anything actually comes from this. One thing I'm certain of is that USC will not uncover anything. It will have to be the media (or police, if this is at all nefarious).

You're telling me he was on a deck that was two stories high and jumping off of it made the most sense? If you have a deck two stories high and pool below I bet you have stairs. This story was fishy from the beginning.
August 26th, 2014 at 2:09 PM ^
Agreed. That or alert someone on the pool deck.
August 26th, 2014 at 2:55 PM ^
You don't get high ankle sprains from that kind of fall. Calcaneal fractures are usually the injury you see when someone falls from a height and lands on his feet (assuming that is what his story is and the only one that makes sense based on the injury he has reported). If one of his ankles buckled on the landing, I think an ankle fracture or low ankle sprain would have been more likely, but it probably wouldn't have been in both legs.
I also thought this story seemed suspicious from the begininng.
August 26th, 2014 at 4:43 PM ^
The other thing that got me is why he didn't just yell down to someone else by the pool to rescue the kid. Was everyone else inside or something?

Wow. Next you'll tell me Milli Vanilli were lip-syncing. [Yes, I made a Milli Vanilli reference--I'm THAT old.]

When confronted with the conflicting stories, Shaw replied: "Girl, You Know It's True..."

I'll start - I no longer live in Ypsilanti. I live in Northville. Feels so good to get that off my chest. I just felt like a fraud.
You?

Sorry for playing you all like a fiddle. It was wrong, I know that now.
August 26th, 2014 at 3:37 PM ^
Hrmm, i'm not sold. Maybe you are a mog? Half man, half dog. You're your own best friend.
August 26th, 2014 at 3:52 PM ^
I think I will go fetch myself a beer!

But did you shoot the kitten?!?!?
August 26th, 2014 at 5:24 PM ^
No Northwestern kitties were harmed in the making of the picture.
August 26th, 2014 at 2:06 PM ^
I am not in South Bend.
And I am also not Blue. I am more of a pinkish-beige.
August 26th, 2014 at 2:24 PM ^
But you are still "Bi" ?
August 26th, 2014 at 3:30 PM ^
I am not blue either. Although a few days ago I was feeling a bit depressed.
August 26th, 2014 at 3:39 PM ^
Believe it or not, I'm not actually Ferris Bueller, that was just a character I played.....oh wait, I'm not Matthew Broderick either.

- A fascist anarchist?
- The Walrus?
Please advice.
August 26th, 2014 at 4:12 PM ^
I could be the Walrus, but I'd still have to bum rides off of people.
Yeah, that's not true either, I actually do own a car
I did actually sleep with Mia Sara though....
....OK, yeah, that's total bullshit also.

MSU hasn't recruited me b/c I'm an earthling.
August 26th, 2014 at 3:45 PM ^
So what you're saying is that Dantonio is a bigot?
August 26th, 2014 at 2:09 PM ^
I've never been to Skeeps.
August 26th, 2014 at 2:11 PM ^
does Bando get his MGoPoints back?
August 26th, 2014 at 5:17 PM ^
What happened to Bando's points?
August 26th, 2014 at 7:39 PM ^
He posted a photo of an USC cheerleader jumping into a pool on the drowning thread. I think that's what did it, unless something else got caved. I didn't see anything on the Moderator sticky about it. He initially got sent to Bolivian but then was reset to 0 points. 205 points in one day shows how much he posts here. He'll be back up in the 5 figures in no time.
August 26th, 2014 at 8:02 PM ^
One mod thought Bolivia for a month, another mod asked the first to go back to zero instead and then messed up when they went to the altering points machine. Bando is getting his original number back this evening but might end up at 100k+ at the end of the month or something else weird might happen when they reset, just trying to figure out the best way to fix it.
Update: I think points should work out without an issue or with one that should only be weird for a few hours on 9/25. If there's a problem going forward I'll take care of it.
