Dude, This Is Lame

PrintNow that the new site has tags for stories, I know exactly how I'll label this one: "Oh, brother."
In what might be the single most ridiculous post I've ever seen, USC blogger Brian Grummel files a note about Texas' decision not to comply with the NCAA's media guide rules. Specifically, Texas put out a 272 page media guide, overshooting the NCAA limit of 208 by a full 30%.
Pointing this out is one thing, but Grummel doesn't leave well enough alone, instead tacking this ridiculosity on to the end of his post:
Seriously? Because an oversized media guide is the same as making up fake classes, paying players, and... well, the list at USC is too long.
I'll keep pissing on all three schools, thank you very much. And I don't give a sh-t about the media guide.
Nobody else does, either.

What is the penalty (if any) for this infraction? Also, while this is not a big deal at all, why would UT break any rule that necessarily will be exposed?
Gimme a F*ckin' Siren!
Wooooooooo! 41-38 hasn't been shouted from the BON rooftops for far too long!
We need a 41-38 sound effect
To play any time anyone from USC talks smack.
Unfortunate for our USC friends on the site, but not unfortunate enough to shelve the idea.
You're insensitive, Peter
Think of all the trees that died because of the extra pages in our media guide. Last I checked, pretend classes for athletes didn't kill living things.
They Done Found Us Out!
Give him his little media guide bitchfest- we'll take the W. 41-38, beeyotch.

It has been a conspiracy in the planning for years. Those shifty men and women at Belmont Hall (that's where the power brokers live, for you non-orange bloods) decided that one day in the future there might be a chance to get an advantage over all those other schools. When the media guide idea came up it was just too good to pass up. Why get a 10% or 20% edge when you can go 30%. How can any school recover from such a devious trick. The one draw back was that they never anticipated some genius would uncover the plot so soon. They will still be talking about this when Barry Switzer is just a distant memory.
GAME, SET, MATCH!

Basically a magazine of the team
All the team's stats, schedule, who they play, what the tradition, is etc.
This isnt even the official media guide anyways
what a dumbass.
The official media guide comes out later this summer.

Well I'm offended
Not because of these wild-eyed claims that SC is running a dirty program or something. There can't be anything to those claims, or Alabama would have been losing scholarships already. Or Fresno State, for spite.
However, being lumped in with Texas A&M and Oklahoma? That hurts. With the lunatics and land thieves? Wasn't 41 - 38 enough for you?
Oh the humanity.
First a media guide..next..who knows
Fudging the length on your media guide, as everyone knows, is a slippery slope.

Everything...
... is bigger in Texas.
Even the media guide.
