Sure as shit are in the post, PUNK ROCK BITCH YEAH

Seriously guys, this is a pretty common occurrence. I mean, 'Former Bear Reveals Secrets' was the keynote speech at the Pray Yourself Straight conference I was at on Saturday.

Banff is gorgeous and that hotel is ridiculous. Dined there once, but have yet to stay there.

Banff is amazing.

God, you people are so spoiled and so unaware of it. 0-3 and you're going to stop watching?

Well I didn't believe that you were really a Steelers fan until you started talking about quitting on your team because they aren't performing up to expectations.

I meant the original article. But kudos to Sean for picking it up! Weee!

Of course we still exist. I'm pretty obnoxious about it myself, but CU alums never shut the fuck up about how awesome our college experience was (And trust me, it was).

The flip side of your argument is being well-sourced in an area can allow you to create your narrative, which everyone does, to a point, but Evans seems an outlier even by the gaudy standards of college football, and a blanket rule

You guys have made clear what your intentions of the series were, and they are valid, reasonable points to address and investigate.

As you all know, ESPN has cast doubt on several aspects of your series by simple steps such as verifying players' enrollment. Deadspin reported that you all never called the OSU registrar's office to verify enrollment until after ESPN did so. My question, in a story like this that you all realized would be

How in the world do you link $50 handshakes, some grad changing, and isolated sex incidents to OSU going from bottom dweller to contender? What about the $300 million from Boone? Do you not dare mention Boone in case he comes after SI?
