Has there ever been a player...

[preacher_dawg]

That you can think of, pro or college, that has set a team and program so far back as did Renardo Sydney did for us? I was thinking that this MIGHT be the season that we can somewhat recover from him. What is that, like eight years setback mainly from one guy? Anybody else that you can think of that was close to this from any team?

Is this a real thing?

David Stanley at SMU?

Leo Lewis...possibly.

There were problems well before Sydney. Letting the inmates run the asylum finally bit Stans in the ***. It was only a matter of time before it did whether it be Sydney or another cancer.

Would have to be a pro situation:

Ryan Leaf - Chargers
Vick - Falcons dog fighting
Manziel - Browns
Greg Oden - Portland

 

[Mayor of Little London]

Leo Lewis...possibly.

Assume you are referring to the damage caused to OM.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

Why do you blame an entire team and coaching staff of shitheads on one particular ********?

The problems of the late Stansbury years went far beyond Sidney and were already present before he arrived.

Jamarcus Russell

Loafers hiring Rick Ray.

I agree that Renardo was the individual who (being allowed to remain after the Elgin incident) killed MSU basketball for years. He should have been launched out of a cannon after that. He poisoned a good well.

I'll go with Carlton Dotson at Baylor - the guy who murdered his teammate.

Which leads to another question - has there ever been a more morally corrupt culture in athletics over the course of two decades than Baylor? Penn State?

We must be talking about one powerful 17ing cannon.

Renardo Sydney was a symptom of the problem. Not the root of it. We had a lot more problems than him, and they started before he ever got to Starkville.

No one ever wants to hear it since he was a top contributor and fan favorite, but Dee Bost was much more of an actual problem that Sidney. His name needs to be right up there with Stansbury's when the majority is trying to place blame anywhere but where it belongs for our last five years of basketball.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Bost, Sidney, & Moultrie together were an absolute circus. I don't blame Ricky Hood for wanting to get Rodney out of that cluster-17 as quickly as possible..

 

[tired]

I don't either..

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

What the 17 did Manziel do to the Browns to set them back? You can’t set back the worst franchise in sports

The problems started with the Rhodes and Sharpe. It spiraled downhill from there culminating in Renardo and crew.

 

[Drebin]

Renardo wasnt the problem. It was the decision to sign him and the environment that was in place to allow him to be who he was that was the problem.

Thats a hell of a 6 year downward spiral.

I could easily see Dee Bost being part of the cancer that started it all, even though he was one of my favorites, but if we had abandoned going after Sydney, I think that basketball could have recovered pretty quickly, and Stans might even be our coach today.

It’s judgement day for the preacher man.
