Braves take 3 of 4 from Marlins and now the magic number is 5! Next up San Diego! Looking for a sweep! Nats play Philly the next 3 games. Hopefully, if the Braves haven't clinched before going against the Nats (16th-18th), they will clinch by the 2nd game against the Nats on the 17th-just after the middle of September.

They didn't take much time finding Cam Newton "innocent" Auburn was gonna sit him and NCAA cleared him the next day.

This is really the one ruling that chaps the ass the most about the capriciousness of the NCAA. They moved quickly and decisively in this one single case; the rest of the time it sits out there and hangs and teams have to make decisions based on what they thing the NCAA will eventually rule, way after the fact. Why this one time did Auburn get to drive through the the express lane? We already knew it was arbitrary, but that proved that sometimes it's REALLY arbitrary.

And if you think Auburn was really going to sit him, and that whole thing hadn't already been prearranged with the NCAA, then I'd like to show you some extremely valuable Braves collectibles you might be interested in. All very rare, highly sought after, and guaranteed to double in value. Let me know.

I was on the phone with my folks and couldn't really tell what was going on. Ruled a fumble, then overturned, and shouldn't have been?

I don't know what was initially ruled, but AFTER the next play was ran, they stopped and reviewed the fumble. It was a fumble. Refs said it wasn't a fumble.

This after Tcu recovered a punt that hit a ttu player and the refs soooorta used their imaginations on kick catch interference call.

Ah, okay. Yes. Auburn only "suspended" him for 30 minutes because they already knew the NCAA was going to reinstate him.

Let me just sweep this valuable Braves memorabilia back into the box until someone else comes along.

I should go back and read it. I started out just laughing at the idea that Autzen is going to be terrifying in some way that's beyond our imagination. I ended up spending a ridiculous amount of time in that thread and he ended up being banned anyway. The internet is the biggest waste of time ever.
