Sorry if germans but how did I miss this?

Because nobody gives a **** about Stephen Godfey and his propaganda

Here's a little snip from Godfrey guest lecturing a journalism class after that piece dropped... It feels German to me, but I wanted to share.

It simply wasn't that good. ESPN's 30 for 30 already sort of 'did' this sort of thing with SMU, plus the Ole Miss story was already played out. Nothing has really happened yet to make Ole Miss a generational type story like SMU. Yeah, they got hit pretty hard, but they didn't get the modern day death penalty. If they continue to cheat, perhaps they will.

Perhaps Godfrey should have attended the Rose Bowl School of Journalism...

Biggest thing that pissed me off watching was "Ole Miss" cultivates doctors and lawyers! More MSU grads in my class than Ole Miss grads! That narrative needs to end, UMMC needs to be stand alone like most other states.

I've heard this several times that UMMC puts out more docs who did undergrad at MSU than Ole Miss. Is that in writing anywhere?

I wish Jackson State had gotten their dream demand and gotten control of UMMC several years ago. It could have aligned Jackson State and UMMC to be similar to Augusta University in Georgia.

That might be in the running for the craziest damn opinion I've seen on SPS. Ole Miss leadership is obviously lacking, and UMMC being independent might be a real improvement. I can't imagine the argument for putting UMMC under the control of JSU. Even if you take the optimistic position that UMMC brings up JSU, I don't think that's a game you can play with the only medical school in the state.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Heh. I know it's an unpopular opinion but I'm a bit impressed with the partnerships they have. At the same time I've been intrigued with the Georgia college & university consolidations that have been occurring the past few years.

I can play this game Godfrey. Guess which town is better

Eh, if there was a college in Jackson analogous to Augusta U it would sound better. Maybe the State of Mississippi can buy out Millsaps and put the med school with them. Not saying AU is anything close to Millsaps, either, but it's also not JSU.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

It might be argued that Augusta and JSU are currently analogous. Both rank in the 230-301 range of National Universities according to the US News & World Report Best Colleges website.

JSU: Link.

Augusta: Link.

Edit to add: Anyway, I've hijacked this thread too much. Maybe I should stop now-- and we agree to disagree?

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Based on what I've been told from family who work for UMMC, I would say a good portion of all students there in PT, OT, Nursing, Pharmacy, MD, DMD, and others either transferred from State or graduated from State. I'm not sure what the exact numbers are though. I was told that on school spirit day a few weeks ago that there were a lot more people walking the halls wearing Bulldog stuff than Ole Miss stuff. I agree, they need to break away from ole miss and become a separate entity. They shouldn't get to claim all those grads when most of them were at State at one point, and they would have stayed had State had a medical school.

WTF

Maybe I am easily entertained but I'm enjoying it so far

godfrey seems bound and determined to die on that hill...problem is, nobody is interested in taking that hill from him. dear godfrey, NOBODY CARES....this is getting sad.

 

[o_1984Dawg]

This is the true Godfrey - just wanting to **** on everybody, and honestly, doing a decent job of it. I thought he did a good job. He let Ole Miss absolutely play him the last few years, but this is a pretty good recovery. Still could've done without him playing up the stereotypes but I'm sure the SB Nation crew eats it up.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

Ole Miss is the flagship of Mississippi- Mississippi is also 50th in the nation

It IS no coincidence that the poverty, racism, ignorance, backwardness is ALL THE FAULT OF OLE MISS. They are the flagship....OWN IT, BITCHES!!!!

 

[bulldognation]

Wanna know what really pisses me off about that whole "Laremy Tunsil was sabotaged" and "That cost him millions" argument? It's the fact that the real issue here gets so easily brushed aside in the wake of the 'aftermath arguments'...
The kid was a pothead with a gas-mask bong video he apparently shot himself. The kid was texting coaches asking for money. The real issue is that these deeds were exposed in the first place. They were brought to light. When that type of evidence surfaces, IT SHOULD COST YOU MILLIONS. To hear anyone crying foul for someone ruining this man's life and dreams by showing these clips and screen shots is to hear someone ignoring the fact that LT was the one with the problem... not the person who 'hacked' his account or made any of it public.

Hacker's a hero in my opinion.

 

[SpeckTaker]

He does a fairly good job of seeming unbiased, but everything he “exposes” on Ole Miss is already out there. While the MSU info is rumor and innuendo. Another thing, how did we get 3 LL for $11K when LSU was offering $60K?

I've heard this several times that UMMC puts out more docs who did undergrad at MSU than Ole Miss. Is that in writing anywhere?

When I was in grad school in the early to mid 2000s, Don Downer told me we had more advisees than OM get into UMMC several years in a row.

I toured UMMC in 2003 for a PhD program there and the dept. chair told me they are UM in name only, not really affiliated with Oxford, and his dept. gets more MSU grad students than OM.
