Oregon player(s) suspended

Starting wide receiver for sure. Rumors starting CB is also suspended.

I have no love for Ohio State, but they are starting their third-string QB in the National Championship game.  Anything that happens to Oregon's starting recievers pales in comparison to that.

If it was us, we'd be starting Bellomy.  Oregon would not need any recievers.

I agree, though as a counter if/when Jones struggles (and it could well be in this game), the first response out of OSU fans will be "but we're starting our 3rd-string QB!"  Jones has played as well as either of the other two QBs, while Oregon is down their two leading WRs with basically 3-4 days to compensate for the most recent loss.

Ruptured testicles arre actually a fairly common injury.  I've seen them many times in the ER.  Baseball players... wear a cup.  BMXers... wear a CUP!  Parkour "runners"... wear a CUP.  And GODDAMNIT YOU SKATER BOARDERS... WEAR A CUP!

Blunt trauma (a strike) causes about 75% of testicular injuries. Other mishaps can cut or pierce the scrotum and injure the testicles. A rupture only requires a tear in the sctrotal skin.  An injury can tear the tough, protective covering surrounding the testicle and damage the testicle. This is called a testicular rupture.

Their top CB (projected 1st rounder) had already blown out his knee in practice for the Rose bowl.  So if the 2nd CB goes really bad vs a potent passing game.

So Oregon will be missing their top two receivers, their top TE, their All-American CB, and on top of that, OSU gets extra practice time.  If there is better evidence that karma does not exist, I'd like to see it.

but this is the only post of yours I've ever agreed with. Truly, no offense! I don't know why they get such a pass? Guys get caught getting $500 handshakes red handed (Smith & he said he fell on the grenade for many others when Tressel was caught in '11) and all he had to do by NCAA punishment was pay it back! WTF?!? A slap on the wrist when they knowingly played ineligible kids that were hanging out in a drug den so much Tressel admitted in his NCAA depo that he was afraid they were using and/or selling drug but did nothing about it, two guys during the investigation openly admit they could sink osu but one was a fan so he wouldn't talk while the other said he feared for his life if he spoke, TP pulling up in sports cars under his mom's name when he supposedly took things to help pay bills for her, etc. It's like I'm taking crazy pills! USC was bombed over mostly circumstantial "you had no direct knowledge but should have known" evidence while osu knew they were cheating from the very top and hardly hid it. They did a poor job convincing anyone they were anything but rotten to the core but they fought back, Emmert was buddies with the AD & the NCAA suddenly became inept/indifferent. Yet, don't do extra pushups to the tune of 7 hours over 3 years! You might get LOIC! They got a one year bowl ban & urban meyer - Period. That was their punishment. Then shit like this always falls into their lap. At least in football, karma doesn't exist or osu would have been nuked somewhere between PSU Sandusky & the SMU DP. Even the "bag men" article had the guy not so subtly say only one team North of Tennessee (in football) is on par with the SEC for paying kids and kind of made it obvious he was talking about osu. It's maddening that they get away with such B.S. all the time. I thought they'd win before this but now I'm certain. If a betting man I'd officially put money on it.
