U.S. Air Force Academy cadet athletes flouted the sacred honor code by committing sexual assaults, taking drugs, cheating and engaging in other misconduct at wild parties while the service academy focused on winning bowl games and attracting money from alumni and private sources in recent years, a Gazette investigation has found.

Air Force more committed to athletics than GT?

I thought we found that out in 2010?

Would have never happened at the Naval Academy.

Certainly not worse than being taken to the woodshed twice by the mermans. That was embarrassing.

Scandalous.

I don't remember that. Certainly a moment of honesty.

Maybe you should Google Lamar Owens an Asst. coach on our GT Staff that played for Johnson at Navy.

I apologize if I missed your sarcasm.

The info in that article must be false because so many of our fans believe that if the academic background is at a certain level, then the issues outlined in that article cannot occur.

It is like the 11th commandment among our fans, "if the academics are at a certain level, then off-field issues disappear".

I'm convinced that article is totally false.

I don't know if he is the WnE from bbuzzoff, but he is not far from him.

No, I cannot quote any post that says that.

But, it does get mentioned anytime something bad happens at other schools, especially UGA and Miami.

Many GT fans that post on various MBs believe that our academic standards weed out trouble makers, and that is why so many off-field issues happen at "factories".

The Cadets at USAFA that had the special bottle of alcohol for females at the party, is that really worse than what the 2 LBs did when they drugged the 17 y/o a month ago and sexually assaulted her 4th of July weekend?

If it does get mentioned 'anytime', it should be easy for you to quote. Unless you are lying.

I don't recall seeing that type of thing said, at least not on stingtalk. People certainly say how other schools recruit "thugs" and they're glad we don't do that, but I've never really seen it connected to academics.

I really can't believe y'all let the idiot known as WrecksnEffect(among his many internet names) actually become a member! This nutcase should win an award for the worst troll in existence! :eek4wtf:

I think you have used something similar when people (me) suggested Miami was considered a good school even if their players were dumbasses. I don't feel like looking it up but am pretty sure. Now back to the real conversation.



WnE. :stfub:

I would vote him Most Persistent Troll. Would likely be a lifetime achievement award for him. WnE for MPT!

I remember that conversation. It was a discussion on whether a football program's bad deeds (including academics, off field issues, etc.) could affect a school's reputation as a whole. You were using Miami as an example of a school that has a good academic reputation despite their football program's exploits, whereas I was saying that even though it actually is a good school a lot of people think the opposite due to their football program.
