ESPN--Nkemdiche Plays / Suspended debate

[KeyserSoze1999]

Well on College Football Live today (I had to watch the replay) they led with the Robert Nkemdiche storyline. They pretty much said that there is NO WAY that Nkemdiche will play in the Sugar Bowl.

I think that there is a good chance that Nkemdiche WILL play in the Sugar Bowl. #1. This is the BIGGEST Bowl game for Ole Miss since the 1969 Sugar Bowl. #2. Nkemdiche needs a final highlight reel for his NFL Draft stock, and the Sugar Bowl would be the biggest stage. #3. The Ole Miss Defense needs Nkemdiche, they don't have another DL guy who has Nkemdiche's skills. #4. The Ole Miss mentality. A few years back when Coach Andy Kennedy got drunk in Cincinnati and punched a cab driver and shouted racial slurs---these same ESPN guys said there is NO WAY that Ole Miss can ALLOW Andy Kennedy to step on the court the following night and coach the Basketball team. Well they did and Andy Kennedy is still at Ole Miss.

There is no level of Shame with Ole Miss---Nkemdiche could have gotten high and eaten a toddler in that hotel room and I STILL believe that Ole Miss would let him play in the Sugar Bowl (maybe suspended for the 1st quarter, but he would still play).

They will figure out a way to turn this from a disaster into a PR plus. I can see them having RN cut an anti-drug message to be played at halftime of the Sugar Bowl to earn his "redemption." On the bright side though, folks at work who can't tell you what county Oxford is in were laughing about that apology letter.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I'm sure

he'll play, and Freezus will say he's saving his soul by playing him etc, and the OM cult will say "amen." Next.

Flip of the coin, sez no.

One thing to get busted for MJ... but to bust thru a 4th floor window, get cut up, then jump 15 feet.
Take an ambulance ride . A bit much. National attention. ( The boy has problems)

From Covers:
Nkemdiche is questionalbe to play in the Sugar Bowl against Oklahoma State after being taken to hospital from a fall out a window as well as legal problems.

If he plays HF is a Sackless Wonder.

I am an SEC fan & I'm all for the SEC doing well in the Bowl games.

It's a lawyer game. There is evidence of drugs, but none of the toddler being in the room. He must have eaten the diaper too. We may never know the identity of that child. Such a shame.**

The national guys at ESPN don't realize who they're dealing with here. Pretty much any other school, and yeah, no way he plays. But he will play.

 

[SwampDawg]

Freezus will hold a team vote. He will play ONLY if the team votes to let him play. *** (tip of the hat to Les Miles.)

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

It'll be a recruiting tool: Dan Mullen won't play his best player if he's a freshman. Hugh Freeze will play his best player no matter what.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Dude, you don't get it. I've seen the light. After debating with the guys on Nafoom yesterday I've come to realize that there was nothing out of the ordinary about his arrest and that it is exactly the same as what happened to Bear.

 

[ShrubDog]

The last piece of his highlight reel will be him on a stretcher getting into an ambulance saying 'I aint did nothing...It wernt me"

 

[Dawg1976]

He plays even if he smokes the night before the game.

Isn't it amazing how they come out of these things smelling like a rose? Like I said the other day, everything they do has that element of "evil" to it, and it's like they sold their soul to the Devil. Maybe I shouldn't be holding my breath, but Karma has to catch up to them at some point.

 

[Xenomorph]

You guys aren't paying attention...

He could dab a blunt in the tunnel before introductions and he'd still play.

You don't recruit like them and suddenly grow a conscience when one of the help goes off the rails. Miami didn't do it. Colorado didn't do it. Florida State has never done it.

The bears won't either.

 

[Tomas Smid]

Does anyone think this latest episode will . . . . . . . .

drop Nkemdiche below big Chris in the upcoming NFL draft? My guess is that Jones comes back for another year of development making the question moot. He needs to regain the form he had his freshman year to help his stock in next year's draft.

 

[Xenomorph]

"making the question moot"



I don't think anybody really gives a **** about the question anyway.

 

[DerHntr]

I hope they play him. It increases the chance that Hugh loses total control of the locker room in the future.

 

[DudyDog]

Please let him play Hugh! Please!

 

[patdog]

Exactly. There is no debate and there is no decision to make. The decision was made long ago.

Sits first half. Bet on it.

 

[MaroonNation]

Lebatard killed it again today. I lost it when Stugotz was trying to identify the dragon that chased him out the window. Then he described how Kimchee The Lesser was trying to hide behind a bush during all of it but didn't realize the bush was just a little sapling and wasn't obscuring him at all.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Funny thing is Ole Miss fans always used to talk about how "dirty" Jackie Sherrill was and how he was just recruiting "thugs". And now Ole Miss has Freeze who is "dirty" recruiting bigger "thugs" than Jackie EVER did.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

As long as the Cowboys have a pick in round 1 then no. Jerruh won't let him go past them.

 

[rem101]

Our boy Jim Shute tweeted his opinion on the matter the other daView attachment 2828y.

 

[buck4368]

If I'm not mistaken, Mullin played Derunya after his marijuana arrest. Why are we complaining about Hugh doing the same exact thing??

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Who the 17 are U?

 

[Sugarditch]

He'll play. He kept playing after his bong hit photo was all aver the Internet. He kept playing after the fraternity boy *** beating deal. He kept playing after the university pulled him for consideration for he Lott award due to academic issues. Hell, their latest recruit from Pennsylvania sexually assaulted a 7th grade boy and most other schools dropped his offers. Doing drugs and getting arrested is a minor blip on the plantation. Freeze is Houston Nutt redux - buys every player he can and plays them regardless of their ******** actions.

Freeze is similar to Nutt in other ways as well. They both are prone to pulling off inexplicable wins and even more inexplicable losses. I get the feeling they will both end up having served long tenures at their respective "dream jobs" before parting in embarrassing fashion.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Not exactly an Apples to Apples comparison, more like an Apples to VSOP Brandy comparison.

De'Runnya's arrest was Strike #1. Nkemdiche's arrest was Strike #4 (Frat Boy beat down, Photo of Bong Hit, Academic problems this year, and now jumping out of a window on a psychedelic trip).

Remember what Aristotle said, "You are what you Repeatedly do". Hate to call Nkemdiche a "17-up" but since he has 17ed up a lot in the past and he has most recently 17ed up---he might just be a "17-up".

Wilson didn't do anything wrong. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Dope in the car, nobody claims it, everybody gets hauled in.
