Board Mods.....explain yourselves immediately!!!!!

[spbdawg]

Somebody might have known, but do you really think John Cohen would take the field and pose with a well-known pedophile for the jumbotron? Because I don't.

I'm sure he's gotten an earful by now and I'm sure he's embarrassed. At least I hope he is.

I'm saying "yeah" dude. Whores for the money. Let's have lunch tomorrow if you need additional explanation. I'll pay.

 

[sandwolf.sixpack]

Who is 39762?

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

And 39762 is?

The university's zip code

 

[spbdawg]

And 39762 is?

The Zip Code for Mississippi State University.

 

[Lettucexxxx]

Yep but maybe I have an impure agenda. Ask others for confirmation.

 

[spbdawg]

Your initial post was sufficient. You'd be surprised who reads this board. I'm sure it's being addressed.

I'm too old to be lulled into BS happy-talk.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

I'm sure it's being addressed.

This also bothers me. If I was in Cohen or Keenum’s shoes and knew nothing about it at the time, I’d have already publicly distanced myself and the university from this pervert and his company.

 

[Duke Humphrey]

Maybe, possibly they are turning every stone to figure out how this happend and who knew what before they opine on the subject?

 

[jethreauxdawg]

So everyone in the zip code knew? You could make your point a lot better if you just stated whatever it is you are getting at. I think we are all in agreement that it was terrible to bring him on the field.

 

[Fritz!]

Jeez, this is getting as bad as Nextdoor. Read the previous comments people. The answers to most of your questions are there. “What street was this?, did you report this to the police?, OMG, gunshots in Jackson!”

 

[jethreauxdawg]

Probably right. This whole thing seems out of character for those guys

 

[Drebin]

I'm too old to be lulled into BS happy-talk.

But you're clearly not old enough to address this in a mature manner.

I 100% believe that John Cohen knew. If someone in the athletic department knew and didn’t tell Cohen, they would probably be fired. The university should complete due diligence on every vendor and sponsor. Obviously, everyone of these is not going to be elevated to Kennum or Cohen but one with Hindman’s background most certainly would. I just can’t see how Cohen didn’t know. But if he didn’t, he needs to find where the breakdown in communication is and fix it. No reason for our university to honor this guy on the field.

No. Spill it now. Put up or shut up.

NO....not everyone within 39762 knew but the key people knew.

I don't disagree with your assessment....other than the Cohen thing. I just have a hard time believing he would knowingly do that, and I'd rather believe somebody let him down here. To me, that's a fireable offense if he knowingly did that.

 

[Drebin]

Exactly, and I'd rather give them the benefit of the doubt and see how they respond to all of this instead of putting them on blast as aiding and abetting a pedophile and being whores for money.

 

[CoolDawg]

The Hinds County D.A. reduced the charge from child exploitation to cyberstalking, a charge that didn't require registering as a sex offender. Boss Hogg Barbour then pardon him on his way out of the governor's mansion. Hindman apparently has powerful friends in both political parties. I doubt that Keenum or Cohen had any idea who the guy was.

 

[sandwolf.sixpack]

I don't think he's been immature at all with the way he's addressed this. Do you know this guy or something? Because the way you've responded seems to sync up well with your sig gif.....

 

[SirBarksalot]

Can someone explain this thread to all of us who aren’t privty o the specifics?

 

[campshelbydog842003]

Hate week is starting off well.

 

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

We have some Vichy Bulldogs who wouldn't mind some, ahem, underage playing around....

RIP comrade

 

[paindonthurt_]

Fire someone immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s a Ron Polk thing to say.

[PineGroveBully]

People get upset over that stuff.

Well then people that don't like threads getting locked are welcome to ask for a refund

 

[Dawg1976]

Unlikely Cohen or anyone from the University ever publicly responds to this fiasco but I hope someone finds out what happened and relays it here. Having someone like this on our field is totally unacceptable even if his company has/had a business relationship with MSU. That business relationship needs to end.

 

[dawgstudent]

I know how those sponsor interviews work with Bart. Learfield tells him to interview someone and provide questions to ask before the interview. Learfield dropped the ball on this one.

 

[thatsbaseball]

spb...Are you a former employee of the athletic department ?

 

[Bcash2]

?? That’s what his post just said. He basically just said, “I’ve already tried the subtle approach, now I’m blasting it on a message board.”

No

The game sponsor on Saturday, who was honored on the field, is a pedophile who was caught up in a Dateline NBC-like sting. There are recordings of his conversations with a 13 year old girl (when he was in his 30s) on YouTube that should make any grown man angry. Then there is a chat transcript that is awful of him telling a 13 year old girl what he wanted to do to her.

We took a check, and then smiled and shook his hand on the field during the game.

 

[615dawg]

On our field? He did an interview in the Bully Kids Zone before the game.

 

[Bulldog45]

I just got the weekly 3 question feedback survey from the game. I wrote it up in the comments there instead of emailing them on it.

 

[horshack.sixpack]

My post about sex offender Doug Hindman and his partnership with MSU interests has been locked. WHY??????? Who told you to shut down this conversation? If we are going to practice censorship here, why don't we ban folks from posting? Why not start with me?

Come out of your caves now and explain yourselves. I'm calling you out!!!!!!!

There is no exposure to defamation in this conversation because it's 100% true. Doug Hindman attempted to have sex with a person he thought was a 13 yo. The truth is always an absolute and ultimate defense from defamation.

If it makes you feel any better, I do/have done business with this company and I had no idea about these charges. Maybe this will be a catalyst for MSU doing a full vetting on people before honoring them on the field? It's completely conceivable to me that MSU had no idea and no process to check/handle such things. I've had personal friends get honored on the field and they found out from their company the week of the game that they would be trotted out there, so it's not a rigorous process and is left up to the marketing types.

Point is, it doesn't get a lot of discretion, so I lean more toward lessons learned than demonizing the administration asserting that they "should have" known...

You get an A+ for Reading Comprehension. Thank you. I was beginning to lose faith in our educational system.

That guy was in a terrible place a long time ago and made an unfortunate error in judgment. Cleaned his life up, has a family and gives back to MSU. I'm not telling the rest of you to judge/not to judge, that's your call on second-chances etc.. What I'm telling you is this f-wad has a personal vendetta against him because of a firing and wants to drag his name out in the public for revenge.

Great! For clarification sake who is the f-wad again? Though some may claim I am an f-wad, I have never been employed by Gulf Relay nor have I been fired by any company for that matter. If you're talking about me, you've missed the mark by a country mile, dude.

There are some things that don't deserve a second chance. IF what's been told is true, it would be one of those things.

 

[thatsbaseball]

No offense but it's pretty obvious you have more than just a take-the-moral-high-ground interest in this. This is very personal with you for whatever reason and you chose this venue to get some satisfaction for some past event involving either our athletic department or the purported ped "sponsor".
