Give us two results that stand out to you.
This year, we had dozens of players say a teammate is on PEDs, and the average answer to the number of potential NCAA violations witnessed was 8.1 per athlete.

And there are plenty of small violations that happen daily at every program that really aren't a big deal. Bartenders throw in a free pitcher every once in a while, let in the underage players, etc.

Some interesting stats here.

91% of college players want to see more than 4 teams make the playoffs. I'm with these guys. Can't wait for the field to be expanded.

33% think they have a gay teammate. I'm almost positive ND has a gay player. Don't ask because I won't tell!

61% would ask their coaches daughter out. I did that in HS. Not a good idea, guys.

63% aren't playing for the same HC that offered them. ND should use that statistic every time a recruit doesn't think Kelly will be around for their career.

36% think Clowney is the best player. I will be SHOCKED if he doesn't win the Heisman this year.

I think the worst thing that happened to American sports is this shift from playoffs being a 'tie breaker only when needed' to being the default way that every sport now shits all over the results of the season...

I'd also be shocked if Clowney DID win the heisman... not only he is a defensive player... but when was the last time the pre season favorite actually won the thing??

I also have a hard time believing 33% of cfb teams have a gay player... most data I have seen wouldn't suggest that... not that it's a good or bad thing, just is what it is. I know that wasn't the EXACT poll question but you can make that leap I suppose.

just my thoughts.

I think Manti set the stage for a defensive player winning it. When was the last time a player like Clowney came around? Never.

And is Clowney the preseason favorite? I know he's in the top group with guys like Miller, Bridgewater, Manziel (pre-potential sanctions), McCarron, etc, but is he considered THE favorite? I didn't think there was a clear favorite this year.

I don't know about odds but ill bet all my vbucks Clowney doesn't win the Heisman

Ok, here's my offer. If Clowney wins it, you owe me all of your vbucks. If Clowney doesn't win it, I'll give you $5M vbucks. If Clowney misses two or more games due to injury, suspension, etc, the bet is voided.

Boo this!! All or nothing. $5M by the time the Heisman is announced will be nothing to you

Vegas has Clowney at 14/1 to win it and you want 1/1? I'll go against my better judgment and bet you each $5M vbucks. I can't risk it all. I'm saving for retirement.

so five mill vs. 7 billion??? lol

Yea, I was obviously joking with you. I can understand STL being conservative with his vbucks (how in the hell do you only have $17M???), but I'd like to think you would at least give me Vegas odds.

Vegas didn't say they'd be SHOCKED if Clowney didn't win it :)

Why should I bet all my money (probably around 25 by the Heisman) for almost nothing to you?

Clowney will take enough plays off not to win the Heisman. He knows what is waiting for him on the backside. Plus, I lost all respect for the award when Woodson won over P. Manning.
