Cherry Popping Reader Response

Less than two months in existance and I'm already getting reader email. I've decided to publish it in its entirety, read it if you want. Or don't, I don't give a shit. Pretty excellent points though.


Ok so who's the real victims here..... is it the fans, the students, or us the sports voyuers... It's simple the process.... 1st) the school for conducting an interview in May of last year and waiting through two starting QB's and a sh*tty bowl invite to act swiftly & punish those involved. 2nd) the learning specialist ( yeah exactly)....

"The investigation then found the learning specialist also typed papers for five students who apparently didn't qualify for that service and a tutor provided answers or other unethical assistance to 23 students for online tests. The testing involved a single course, which was not identified."

I mean really helping out someone that didn't qualify to have papers typed for them.... Oh please, please let me know what qualifies one for such a service???? Maybe 10 cracks at the PSAT & SAT before getting that milestone 700...I'm sure that guys destined for a fulbright.

And lastly, us the media public... Why, for buying into the guise that these guys can log more travel time than most CEO's, more practice time the tiger woods, all while 'diligently' working 4 hrs plus practice time & their 'full class schedule'. Just think how tired you'd have to be in order to forget you have a test, not go to class to realize you miss said exam, and then miraculously receive a passing grade all unbeknownst to you.... Shame on us for not standing here aghast that the athletic middle youth does all it can to get an edge, the real nightmare is that although shocked we are not suprised. So a bowl loss and a 3- game suspension later these guys will be all back at it again at some other institution. I'll bet Bowden's goofy j-oakleys on it.... as long as dollars reign supreme all will be fine in tallahassee when Nole's get back to the top 10....
