Rumored Violations

[Cali_domer]

Well, I've set the over/under multiple times only to see them blown away. Last week, i thought by Tuesday evening. Yesterday at this time, I thought no way it would take more than 24 hrs.

Might as well keep this going:

Over/Under before we hear back about the players - 72 hrs

We will hear by the USC game

I've checked the roster and have no idea who that player might be.

Are you the guy who tipped off ISD that someone wearing #6 was seen at practice the other day?

Over: they will find out at commencement when their diplomas are missing.

FWIW, someone said on here earlier "just because he didn't participate doesn't mean he wasn't there" or something like that.

 

[trabbs34]

I had a video still capture of what appeared to be number #6 from a vine posted earlier.

 

[trabbs34]

No, I didn't tip off anybody. I'm just an internet nobody.

I may be all wet on this...but I'm starting to think it might be better if the determination doesn't come out until after the the game Saturday. I'm sure the team is lazer focused right now and it might serve as a distraction. I'm conflicted because it might also serve as a boost. Who knows.

Celebrate! There is generally an inverse relationship between your popularity on the internet, and your popularity in real life.

Based on the roster, that's either KVR or Montelus; and the guy in question is pretty obviously not 6'4'' and 310 lbs.

So what is an Irish fan to make of KVR suiting up and observing practice, but not participating? And were the other Four Coursemen there as well?

Edit: Could be Montelus or a random walk-on after all.

I thought that we went over this yesterday and CoachD admitted he sent the original tweet and was incorrect. That it was a practice squad player, which wouldn't be on the roster.

Or is there something new?

 

[Old Man Mike]

I've heard rumors..........................................

Some of them right here on IE.

 

[trabbs34]

It was a video from today's practice, #6 appears to be quite large.

Not trying to add anything, but wasn't the school's "none of the five particpated" press release what changed Coach D's tune?

I thought the same, but couldn't imagine why we'd leave some players off the roster. Our online roster only lists 107 guys, though, many of which are walk-ons, and I think the NCAA max is 125. So it's plausible that that's an unlisted walk-on wearing #6. But why not list everyone? Makes no sense to randomly leave some kids off.

On second look, definitely think its Montelus. Number appears offset left, and the player appears to be big walking with other linemen.

Would he have been impersonating a Michigan player who wears #6? Do they do that?

Yup. Just got done editing my post above to that effect.

All of these people have a point. Russell, Daniels, Mendoza... everyone.

To say "we have enough evidence to suspend you"... but not enough evidence to review your case... and then we can't fit you into our schedule for a week+... is absurd.

It's disrespectful to everyone involved in the University... from the players still enrolled going to class but can't play to the fans/alums who donate money to teachers teaching a bunch of kids in limbo to the University itself that is having its image irreparably harmed by this drawn out process.

Fire everyone.

I thought the KVR at practice rumor was put to sleep already, can you not see the resemblance?

Hard to argue with that. I only hope Davaris is found innocent so those defending the drawn out process won't be able to point and say, "see, he was guilty all along".

"We placate no one. We hurry for no one. We don't care if the football team makes millions or if these young men trained year round for the opportunity to play for this university, nor do we care if the window is closing week by week for them to play during this season. We had previously scheduled meetings and in academia, that's immovable. The rest of the world must jump when something of importance is at stake, but the football team is equal to the water sprinklers which is equal to the grounds crew which is equal to the lunch lady. There are no favorites on these hallowed grounds. Nothing gets priority. The end."

Soliloquy aside, I hope this goes on all season. It's just too much fun speculating

Such unreal bullshit. Explains why timelines are... ummm... protracted. To us silly normal people, quickly doesn't mean a week+ after wrapping up all fact finding.

#blessLongo!

Honestly don't blame these kids one bit if they decide not to come back even if some are cleared. Absolute joke by ND administration. Almost want BK to bolt for the NFL at this point.
