So, Sooner fans, considering the recent speculation of Reggie Bush's indiscretions and projected penalties that might be assessed to USC for playing said ineligible player, you'll unanimously decline the 2004 title if USC is stripped of it, right? Since you don't claim titles you didn't earn and all.

I guess we'll just have to make do with the 7 that we already have, so far.

He was asked a hypothetical. Would you accept it if offered to you? He said no.

And how do you know what the DAC would do anyway? I don't believe they've ever stripped a Heisman winner of the award before, have they? He was clearly voted 2nd that year.

They have a strict, black and white stipulation that the Heisman winner must be an eligible college football player when he wins it. If he's ruled ineligible, they have no choice but to strip it. There's nothing in there about taking it back if you lop off a couple of domes.

The NCAA has no say in whether or not the '04 BCS crystal ball leaves Heritage Hall.


College football national championships aren't awarded by the NCAA. They are "recognized" by the NCAA. The BCS and AP polling service would have to rescind the '04 NC for it not to count.



They may have to forfeit every game of '04 and '05....they may have to give up their Pac-10 championships from those years....but the national title is beyond reach of the NCAA in football and I doubt USC or any other program would voluntarily give up a national championship because of a retroactive suspension.


The '05 Heisman though could get yanked pretty easily. That could be leaving Heritage Hall.

That's true that the NCAA can't have the NC vacated. They have a pretty big say in determining it though. If they chose to turn a blind eye or only gave USC minor penalties then the dominoes might stop there. If they were to give USC a real stiff penalty that in turn could lead to the BCS deciding to act. The Downtown Athletic Club might act before the NCAA renders its ruling but most liekly they would wait on the NCAA as well.

I just figure it is all interconnected. If/when the NCAA determines Bush was ineligible that is when the ball starts rolling.

Maybe I'm not understanding you.

You have trophies for 63, 69, & 70 - They didn't make/produce/give "crystal ball trophies" for mnc's back then - you received the "bowl trophy" from the bowl that you won, but that was it. From what I understand, and this is new to me this year - they started presenting these "crystal ball trophies" to the mnc in 1986. (I thought it was with the advent of the BCS, and when they first presented the crystal ball to Tennessee when they beat FSU in 1999(?))

At any rate, I'd figure that you KNOW about the 2005 trophy that was presented to mack/vy after beating usc.

From what I understand, mack had those other trophies MADE and presented them to d. royal (69/70) You know nothing of this? I saw a very similar thread on hornfans.com several months ago, but couldn't find it due to that board sucking so bad. :D

I'm not saying that tejas is claiming any unearned mnc's - just saying that tejas is making up trophies for said mnc's AFTER THE FACT - kinda like Green Bay Packers having 2 "Super Bowl" Trophies - but then Changing the names on them to "Vince Lombardi Trophies" since that's what they called them after the first 3 Super Bowls.

I just think that it is "beefing up" your trophy case. We all know that you have 4 mnc's - you just shouldn't have 4 crystal ball trophies - imho.

Octavian
1/25/2007, 04:50 PM
And there won't be any way that USC could claim that agents and dirty boosters were prevented access from the program.


With Trojans coach Pete Carroll leaving practices accessible to the public, the evidence suggests the doors were open to agents at USC during the time Bush and his family allegedly accepted improper benefits.

They also milled about Heritage Hall, USC's athletic offices, according to a Los Angeles Times story that documented the rampant presence of agents at USC during the 2005 season.

I think that's right. I don't know if we got two different crystal trophies or something or what the deal is. Haven't heard that we created some crystal football for the earlier titles. I don't know. I'll go by there though and check it out. It's in the stadium. I'll do some research.


From what I understand, mack had those other trophies MADE and presented them to d. royal (69/70)

As it turns out I did a little organizing of my CDs, DVDs and Video games last night and I think I have enough room for it. So if no one wants the 2004 NC I'll take it.

They didn't need Reggie Bush to kick our asses.

No, but they did need us to commit a bazillion turnovers in the first half. Sloppiest game we've ever played.

If USC were required to forfeit all of their games that Reggie played in, OU wins that game 2-0. Yea for us, we then are undefeated.:D


If this happens, I'm calling my bookie. He would end up owing me over a thousand dollars. We would win & cover.

At the risk of getting sprayed with a 3-day dose of n00b-B-Gone, I'd like to see the politics shyte sent to the South Oval, or Oval Office, or Ovary, or whereever the fook it belongs, cuz it sure don't belong here on a football thread. :cool:

Vince already said he wouldn't take that Heisman and I agree with him. No need to take sloppy seconds. Everyone knows who the best college player in 2005 was anyway. VY has the ring to prove it.

He has a "best college player in 2005" ring? When did they start giving those out?

I agree with most everyone here, even without Bush, they still would have beat us in that game, we stunk.

But IMHO, if this would had been OU instead of SUC, ESPN would be screaming for sanctions, to strip the title, and for an all out NCAA investigation on a never seen before scale!

Who was rank #1 and #2 after the bowl games of 2004?

With the forfeit, OU and Auburn would both have identical undefeated records.

Excellent job of inferring.

So, Sooner fans, considering the recent speculation of Reggie Bush's indiscretions and projected penalties that might be assessed to USC for playing said ineligible player, you'll unanimously decline the 2004 title if USC is stripped of it, right? Since you don't claim titles you didn't earn and all.

Heck ya i would, cuz then Readyfor8 would have to leave :D

The title clearly belongs to Alabama. Anyone can see that.

No claim here. Do you think Radio claims the Heisman?

In all seriousness, Bush should have handed VY the heisman after the NC game anyway. Just like Weinke should have relinquished his trophy to JH.

I hope Bush is stripped of his hardware and it goes to VY. Truly.

BTW, who's got the vid of Torrance Marshall mouthing off to Weinke before at the coin-toss before we shut down Florida State? I searched and searched and came up with nada.

Just wanted to get a feel for OU fans' thoughts on this.

Sorry, dude. Reggie is still a better player than VY. Reggie was mind boggling.... and I hate him.

Let's just be realistic about this whole thing.

if USC gets stripped of the title, they'll just wait 50 years and re-claim it.

yes, he was most mind-boggling professional athlete in the entire NCAA.

like I said, give the hardware to Vince.
