Access online requires pay registration, but I read the article in the paper copy. Nothing earth shattering. Article discusses increased legitimacy of sites like TexAgs and and how the internet fan is now more competent to do the NCAA's job than the NCAA.

Anytime you have one of these free registration roadblocks, go to www.bugmenot.com, and you can usually find a usable login as a "get around".

i've always judged a guy who did something wrong by whether or not he was more upset about his own wrong doing or at the one who turned him in? lets see on this one!

Wow...I never heard the full story on this. I knew aggiegrant06 played a part in it, but I had absolutely no idea that it was pretty much all him. Nicely done, AG.
