Very stupid and uninformed tweet. This was never open and shut.

Now, I did say that I thought he would win. But it's no where close to "open and shut". Hes a moron

Yep, and the funny part is that some of the same folks acting like it was a sure thing today were doom and gloom a couple months ago when the NCAA ruled. They more or less acted like it was all over at that point.

It's kinda funny that the guy who never played or coached football is saying that non-lawyers can't comment on legal matters while he talks about football.

But maybe you have a point, seeing as John Hoover now has one more accurate prediction than you've had in this thread for the past 15 months.

I never said he wouldn't win his case. I said it was idiotic for someone who doesn't know the law or the facts of a case to pretend to know how a judge will rule. And I never said Hoover or anyone else "can't comment." They just look silly when they try to act like experts. You can tell in a lot of their tweets that they often don't understand or properly use legal terms. There is a reason most newspapers usually have reporters whose specific job is to cover the court system. Those people usually don't have legal degrees, but they at least gain some level of expertise by covering the system on a regular basis. Seeing Sooner Scoop and other football bloggers weigh in on the merits of a legal matter as if they were John Marshall was funny.

FTR - I believe you did say that Owen had no case bc what he was asking for was supposedly unprecedented. To which I said, who cares? The courts are bending over the NCAA and giving out waivers for all sorts of stupid reasons (juco and any injury under the sun).

I recall saying that the cases people were bringing up were factually dissimilar and therefore didn’t have much precedential value. And that’s true … guys getting extra years due to injuries or other circumstances isn’t related to Owen’s situation. But that’s different than saying that he had no case. One thing I know is that no one other than the people who have actually worked on the case truly knows all the facts. Even if you or I read every sentence written in the publicly available court filings, the attorneys who worked on both sides of the case obviously reviewed tons of additional stuff and had access to stuff we don’t. That’s why to the best of my recollection, I never said how I thought a court would rule.
