Auburn Vs. Oregon...who do you pick?

[Jagshund]

I'm curious to know at what point the talking heads will either stop talking about Newton's alleged P4P or start talking about LaMichael James choking his girlfriend . . . which has been proven.

Cam's allegations is yesterday's newspaper........I'm not much of an Auburn fan even though my son is going to graduate from AU this spring, but I feel that it's time to move on.

Regarding who's gonna win.....Auburn!

Evidently the Parfessor is unable to actually read and comprehend Paul's posts, I guess liberalism really is a mental disorder.

I'm voting for Oregon simply because I like ducks. I have a family of Muscovy ducks behind my house that will eat bird seed out of my hand. That's a pretty good reason to pick a team in a game, right?

[RWebb]

excellent reason

yes, the LaMichael thing was a lover's spat - and details are not clear

Oregon is a very young team, and not much experience
- on the last game, 5 of the Off. starters were Sophs. (!) and those were almost all key players

- so Auburn can be happy with that

the Ducks never expected to get where they are this year - and they are overjoyed just to be in the Nat'l. championship game -- it has never happened before in living memory, maybe ever

I still hope Auburn kicks butt!

Ah! More lies spread by the anti-Newton media types!

The following was stolen with care from:

LaMike case: Documents detail what happened | KVAL CBS 13 - News, Weather and Sports - Eugene, OR - Eugene, Oregon | Local & Regional News


EUGENE, Ore. -- University of Oregon college students LaMichael James and Heidi Siebenlist had been in "a committed, intimate relationship for a significant period of time," according to court documents.

"During the long period we were boyfriend-girlfriend, we each grew close to one another's families," James wrote in a letter dated March 9, obtained by KVAL News March 12.

But when Siebenlist learned James had a female house guest visiting him from outside the State of Oregon, she went to James' home to talk to the guest.

That was Feb. 15, 2010.

Two days later, police arrested James, and he spent a day and a half in jail before being released with an electronic monitoring bracelet around his ankle -- and the scrutiny of media from Eugene to Portland to ESPN on his case.

On Friday, March 12, James pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of harassment. Four other misdemeanor counts stemming from the incident were dismissed.

"I apologize to Heidi both for the incident and everything she has had to go through since it happened," James wrote in a letter March 9, released along with court documents March 12 after his change of plea and sentencing.

"I accept responsibility for my actions," James wrote. "I am also sorry that she has been treated by some people as though she deserved blame for this. She does not. I ask people to treat her with respect. She has not done anything wrong."

Beyond a basic sketch provided by police in the wake of James' arrest, few details about what happened had emerged. Neither James nor Siebenlist spoke publicly about the case.

However, due to the high-profile of James, who rose to stardom on the football field by setting a new rushing record for a freshman football player and earning Pac-10 Offensive Freshman of the Year honors, rampant speculation about what happened ensued in the aftermath of his arrest.

"Uninformed gossip, blogs and other Internet communications have distored the circumstances, misstated the victim's relationship with the defendant and compounded the harm done to her," the district attorney's office wrote in a sentencing memo. "Some have publicly speculated that the victim reported this incident to the police in retaliation for the defendant's infidelity. This is not born out by the facts.

"In fact, the victim reported reluctantly in response to police questions after the defendant informed her that the police had become involved," the memo says.

So what happened?

"When the victim learned that the defendant had a female house guest from outside Oregon, she went to the defendant's residence to speak with his guest," according to the district attorney's memo. "The house guest was alarmed, refused to let the victim into the residence, and subsequently called the defendant.

James arrived at his apartment and asked Siebenlist to leave and "physically removed the victim from the area immediately in front of his residence door."

While James held on to her arms, Siebenlist grabbed his necklace and told James she wouldn't let go unless he let her go.

"During the ensuing push-and-pull, the defendant's necklace broke and he became angry," according to the DA.

James grabbed Siebenlist by her collar and pushed her against his car. Siebenlist got in James' car and pulled his keys from the ignition. James grabbed Siebenlist to pull her from his car, but she kept his keys and ran from the car.

James, a Texas state champion sprinter in high school, caught up to her and grabbed her waist. The two fell into bark mulch on the ground.

James got his keys back, "ending the physical interaction," the DA wrote. "The parties talked without further physical contact before the defendant drove away."

The memo explains that the Abuse Prevention Act "requires immediate arrest in circumstances such as these."

"Uniform enforcement of that requirement has undoubtedly saved many lives, but it also requires law enforcement to make preliminary charging decisions based on initial reports before a more thorough investigation can be completed," the DA wrote. "Subsequent investgiation and clarification of the facts often result in modification of the criminal charges."

"In this case, dismissal of some of the charges, the admission of guilt by the defendant, and the recommended sentences are all appropriate to the facts," the DA wrote. "The disposition recommended herein is also supported by the victim."

James was ordered to serve 10 days in jail, although due to jail overcrowding, he may be released before serving the entire sentence, District Attorney Alex Gardner said.

He was also ordered to undergo a domestic violence evaluation. And then he killed some puppies.

I can't wait to post a similarly modified story about Mr. Newton - I have to figure out what a P4P is first tho. Is it better than a peer to peer network? twice as good maybe?

BTW - why is he named after a Nabisco cookie?

[Jagshund]

Get your facts straight- the cookie was named after Cam.

Not quite true...but that is the current "politically correct" line they all have been coached to spew.
