Do you think Penn State's sanctions are fair?
OK let me tell you why I think they might not be fair. When Pete Carroll left the Patriots to become USC's coach, USC was a mediocre Pac-10 team. For the next seven years they dominated the Pac-10 Conference and Carroll brought in a bunch of five star recruits every year. Superstar recruiting class after superstar recruiting class to sustain USC's dominance. Then when the NCAA started to investigate and realized that USC might have brought in a lot of those players by improper benefits, Pete Carroll ditches town and heads to the Seahawks. Penn State, in the BCS era, has never really been a national championship program unlike USC. They have recruited fairly and have not tried to cheat like Carroll did to give themselves a competitive advantage. Despite this, the NCAA gave them sanctions that might be worse than the death penalty and Penn State might never recover from them. Paterno's inaction was wrong but I'm not sure that it warrants these penalties. Penn State- Vacated 111 wins from 1998-2011, 4 year bowl ban from the 2012-2015 seasons, loss of 20 scholarships every year until 2017. USC- Vacated 2 wins from the 2004 season (UCLA and their slaughtering of Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl), Reggie Bush gets Heisman taken away, 3 year bowl ban from 2010-2012 (reduced to two years, eligible for 2012), loss of scholarships. How is it fair that a guy like Pete Carroll can illegally recruit some of the best players on the West Coast and get USC to BCS bowl games every year and Penn State gets harsher sanctions than USC? Carroll might have stole millions and millions from Pac-10 teams that would have otherwise gone to the Rose Bowl on any given year if USC wasn't cheating. Is this fair at all?
Based on Team India's utter failure against Pakistan, is it likely that Team India will get whitewashed in the West Indies tour?
Thanks for A2AYeah i am also thinking this from last 2 days that what really happened ? Why india defeated ? What will happen if it happens on the west indies tour ?But of you watch the champions ,it only happened once that any team just outplayed us.Cricket analysts are taking about the bowling first discussion ,but its great that you won toss and bowl first ,bcoz you got a power packed batting lineup.When india was bowling ,the no ball occurs and then he hits a century.338 is a big target,no one played with a plan ,everyone is going there and throwing there bats only , dismissal of kohli ,dhoni and pandya are so bad that they can compare to gully cricket dismissal.Bleed the blue.Overall i think they dont have any plan on thar day, on any other day indian A tram can trash pakistan with ease.If we come to the point of West Indies, i tell u one thing india will whitewash west indies , because no one in the world cares about west indies nowadays.And team india us not going west indies to win , they are going to shut the mouth of the haters.and always expect great win there otherwise u are going to disappoint yourself.You got the answer ,then upvote ,share and follow me for any further query.Cheers for TEAM INDIA.
Why do the Steelers continue to play so poorly against the Browns, one of the worst teams in the NFL?
Complacency, Over Confidence, Past and Present History, and then there is ineptitude.The struggle the Steelers has is real because they have dominated the series for so long I feel being a long time fine the Steelers feel like the EARN the right to beat the Browns in the same token the Patriots feel they EARN the right to beat the Steelers.I am not going to quote a ton of numbers and games and statistics. I am just speaking from a fan point of view. When the Browns show up with TALENT and COACHING and actually GAME PLAN for the Steelers they do make the Steelers struggle and that is because the Steelers in their own thinking and me too as a fan don’t take them seriously as we have seen them have talent before we, have seen them scheme and plan and the Browns will always do something that gets in their own WAY oooooor the Steelers get smacked and wake up to reality ohhhhh we are playing the Browns this is a game we do have to show UP!Browns fans I really thought this year the Steelers would lose one of the two games this year to you. Your team played well and the talent is there but the COACHING is not and both games you guys had our number. Steelers are NOT the Steelers that you are accustomed to being beaten up by. These Steelers ARE BEATABLE and are not consistent in all three phases. You have talent, you have a front office, you need coaching, and you need to BELIEVE. The Steelers always believe they can dominate you. The Question the Cleveland Browns need to ask are we WILLING to Believe, that we Believe we can do what the Steelers Believe is unbelievable. WIN!!!!!!!
