ECU Police Chief Scott Shelton said university officers are interviewing witnesses and analyzing photos and videotapes. The complaints are varied and include assertions that officers punched a fan and threw another to the ground. Shelton said, "Preliminary investigation indicates excessive force was used in an incident of most concern by complainants."The police chief also says that the officers were supposed to only be visible and try to deter fans and students from running out on the field. If that didn't work, they were supposed to fall back and just try to keep it from getting out of hand. Officers from the State Highway Patrol, City of Greenville, Pitt County Sheriff's Department, the City of Kinston, and Lenoir County were also helping with security.
Pitt County Sheriff Mac Manning said that though his deputies were staffing the game in brown uniforms, it was not one of his men caught on tape.Of course not. It was a different shade of brown. Or perhaps it was someone dressed as a Pitt County officer trying to make them look bad.
"As far as what happened, or if there was excessive force used, I have no idea," Manning said. "My supervisor at the game saw the video, and what he had seen did not involve a Pitt County deputy."

Since the Feds have taken over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, you can expect sheer unmitigated chaos in the markets Monday morning. I can't help you with real investment advice, but I can help you find some of the buys, sells, and holds in Big Ten football after two weeks.

This party just got more crowded than a Travis Henry family photo. Think splitting the backseat of a Volkswagen with Charlie Weis and Charlie Weis' ego.
After an afternoon in which East Carolina had Heisman Trophy candidate Pat White scrambling like an NBA star avoiding a paternity test, the Pirates are here to crash the ever-expanding
Let the accolades fly faster and farther than Lou Holtz's spittle.
With three straight wins over ranked teams dating back to last year's win in the Hawaii Bowl, the Pirates are the worst thing to happen to top 25 football teams since standardized testing.
But they're not alone. Undefeated
(How bad was that call? The button fly thinks they went in the wrong direction. Cuba Gooding Jr.'s career laughs at that decision while rolling in an Edsel with Michael Brown. The McCain vetting committee thinks that decision was ill thought out.
East Carolina 24, West Virginia 3: The Pirates strike the biggest blow for the little guy in purple since Prince, and leave Bill Stewart with roughly the same job security as a Florida State academic adviser.

Ohio State 27, Ohio 17: The Buckeyes need 14 fourth-quarter points to finish off Ohio, but on the upside, prove that even in September, they're already embarrassing themselves at a January level.

Georgia Tech 19, Boston College 16: Boston College was one of two ACC teams to beat a FBS team last week, but suffered the ultimate indignity this week, losing to an ACC team. Not all was lost, however. Considering it's an ACC game, we're certain someone's parents still served punch and pie to both sides.

Penn State 45, Oregon State 17: Despite two more suspensions this week, the Nittany Lions wouldn't be brought down by controversy, a whole host of Beaver tacklers and probably two to three dozen parole officers.

Auburn 27, Southern Miss 13: The Tigers defense contained standout Golden Eagle running back Damion Fletcher while Chris Todd seized the starting quarterback role for the Tigers. And unlike last week, the Tigers' plays weren't all borrowed from Atari Football.

Michigan 16, Miami (OH) 6: The Wolverines offense still has all the variety of Jim Tressel's wardrobe (or probably Joe Paterno's bathroom schedule), but Rich Rodriguez gets his first win as Michigan coach, the coach's best moment since paper first met shredder.

Oregon 66, Utah State 17: LeGarrette Blount finally makes an impact as the highly-touted junior college transfer rumbles for 132 yards and two touchdowns. Undoubtedly, he'll never forget the day he first shined in the historic yellow and green... and black, another shade of yellow, goldenrod, flame, parakeet and tire.

Georgia 56, Central Michigan 17: The upset talk ends quickly as the Bulldogs turn a 28-14 third-quarter lead into a rout, including 168 yards from Knowshon Moreno, and a 77-yard interception return by 282-pound sophomore Demarcus Dobbs. How'd that look? This guy re-enacts.
John Amis, AP
Notre Dame 21, San Diego State 13: The Irish need 14 fourth-quarter points to avoid an embarrassing upset to San Diego State, which lost to FCS team Cal Poly last week. The Irish avoided losing consecutive openers for the first time since 1888, best remembered as the first year Joe Paterno age jokes first emerged.
Joe Raymond, AP
Oklahoma 52, Cincinnati 26: The Sooners clobbered upset darling Cincinnati with five touchdowns from quarterback Sam Bradford, a stingy run defense and at least one confirmed use of the sleeper hold as a finishing move, eschewing the more expected Big Boot.

I want to see if our atmosphere can exceed anything Central Michigan has ever experienced. I am challenging the fans to get as loud as they can when Central Michigan is on offense and they're trying to communicate signals, plays and audible. You can make a difference! I want Central Michigan to see what SEC Football is all about.Truly inspiring. And kind of impressive that Richt has a blog. Too bad he doesn't even know what one is.
Coach Mark Richt
Georgia coach Mark Richt plans to blog Sunday. Sometime between now and then he'll have to figure out exactly what that is.Yet ... he ... somehow ... already ..... blogged? Is it meta? Or does Richt just not care? I'm guessing the latter. Also, it would be nice to hear him blog about red-shirting Moreno, an act he admitted was a pretty big mistake after tonight's game. I'm not guessing he mentions that though.
"I don't even know what a blog is, to be honest with you," Richt said with a laugh Thursday afternoon.

After today's loss to Georgia Tech, Boston College quarterback Chris Crane was asked what happened on his first interception. And in his explanation, he also explained why Georgia Tech defensive end Michael Johnson is going to be a high first-round NFL draft pick in April.Posted Sep 6th 2008 7:39PM by Brian Cook

Okay, Lou Holth is kind of awesome sometimes. The ESPN studio crew is justly ripping the morons who wrecked the BYU-Washington game, and Holtz is teetering on the edge of madness:"I am very much against showboating, but that was a shavesty [sic] of justice."...and the edge of pure unadulterated awesome:
"The thing that scares you is these people can vote."Amen. They're probably deciding between Bob Barr and Millard Fillmore. This "point of emphasis" we can do without.
