The fact of the matter is Ole Miss did a damn good job of covering up most of

their cheating as do most programs. This article makes it sound like they were clean on Treadwell and Kimdeeche which I find very hard
to believe. Most people believe the cheating was at levels not seen before in SEC but again they couldn't prove much. Personally, I think they
were cheating at a level they had never cheated before and just couldn't keep all the turds covered up.

I'm sorry, I thought I was just adding to OP, not addressing you or anyone else directly.

I would never chastise another Dawg fan about anything to do with the not a fan *******.

Cheers

Well, I took the time to finish the article, and I'm less impressed. Godfrey is a little too enamored with the Rebel Rags lawsuit....AFAIK there is still a good possibility they whole suit will be thrown out once some discovery is completed. He also still places too much empahsis on Lewis (allegedly) admitting receiving money from "Mississippi State" during the COI hearing. Even if he did say that, I don't know why that would have been so shocking since he (allegedly) already said the same thing during his NCAA interviews.

Nothing at all new in the article, I just liked to see the other perspective. I also enjoyed this quote:

"Why a man calls an escort service is one thing. Why he does so on a university-issued phone subject to public records requests is another. Hubris? Sloppiness? Self-sabotage after years of ceaseless scrutiny by the NCAA? Why didn’t the man buy another cell phone to make those kind of calls?
“Because he is the cheapest ************ I’ve ever met,” an Ole Miss booster told me the night of Freeze’s resignation."

You know that quote is going to get Hugh pretty steamed when he reads it sitting on the can.

And now the reporting on the reporting. My twitter feed is filling up with various links to an article with the headline "[FONT=&quot]Report indicates this [/FONT]Mississippi State[FONT=&quot] player has most to lose from Ole Miss scandal", and the linked article outlines the Rebel Rags suit against Lewis, et al.

That just gives way too much credence to the lawsuit, and Godfrey's belief that Lewis, Jones, and Miller are lying about receiving free merchandise.[/FONT]

OM painting themselves as nothing but lawyers is like us painting ourselves as nothing but veterinarians.

Yep. We have 15-20 majors with more graduates than they graduate lawyers. We're proud of our agriculture heritage, but they only represent about 10% of our total grads.

Agree about the rebel rags lawsuit.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but there's a few things that do not register with me.

Does anyone really believe three guys would collude to lie over free stuff like that? That's what makes it so believable to me because who gives a **** over free merc? You know it's it's more true than not.

For all of Dan Mullen's faults - he wasn't a cheater and players generally kept their nose clean. It would be totally against character to encourage players to lie to the NCAA and too big a risk. Who dreams that **** up?

The article portray's DM as being obsessed over umiss, but that's silly. He certainly let his guard down a few times against them, but he generally beat them so why would he be overly concerned about them. They draw up this Dan v Hugh for the Florida job as if that was a real competition. This impression is made entirely from a statement of a umiss recruit, once a state commit, that Mullens asked specifics on how umiss was recruiting him. Why wouldn't he ask?
That whole portrayal of DM was a stretch.
