    Favorite Jack Cristil adage?

    a few particular instances I've always remembered....<div> </div><div>Playing Ole Miss at their place in hoops...."another basket by Ansee Saysu, err, Anser Saysee, errr, I can't say his name but he's KILLING us."</div><div> </div><div>Against Auburn in the 90's--on the opening kickoff, which I...

    $600/month x 50 months = $30,000

    I heard from "my OM source" back in October that exact number was the cost for recruits this year. He (an old man who thinks all this is foolish) asked me had I ever heard that and I said no, but it was lower than I expected considering Cam. He told me a south ms car dealer was in the club level...

    Can anyone give me a sound reason for these recruits going to Ole Miss?

    If/when Mullen beats him again, that's three in a row. Hasn't happened since before Vaught. He can't/won't survive that achievement.

    Great win guys!

    But let's store it away in an accessible place, just in case.

    This will be a watershed moment for MSU football

    I disagree with your premise that Ole Miss was destined to go back to the bottom when Vaught retired. You guys were at the top and Vaught and others thought they could stay there by putting off integration as long as possible and then just "dippin' their toes in it." Ole Miss didn't commit to...

    State-Auburn 1991 - Anyone got it?

    Remember that play like yesterday. Best tv close up bird I ever saw. The following year we beat 'em at our place, I think 14-7. Seems like Tony James ran a punt back for the winner. I also recall from that 92 game being so dominant when running out the clock in the 4th on the toss sweep that we...

    So with Bell meeting with the Newtons are we now in trouble?

    MSU, through all that has been reported, retained institutional control. If Bell is somehow implicated, it will be a very small matter for the school based on the fact of our (1) refusal to pay (2) reporting it and (3) cooperation in the investigation.<div> </div><div>I'm as quick to predict a...

    I smell a deal getting made

    particularly the guilty types that have dirt on bigger fish...it is very common.<div> </div><div>I don't want to back myself into a corner defending a position that was 75% "cloud talk" in the first place, but, for the sake of discussion.....what else could be Cecil's motivation for coming...

    I smell a deal getting made

    that's a big hole in my scenario. But I don't believe in coincidences and I know what was said by Cecil and Stricklin tonight was carefully crafted.<div> </div><div>Guess I'll change channels on my crystal ball and figure out some winners for tomorrow's games. I've been Swami-esque this year so...

    I smell a deal getting made

    Maybe I'm just being a contrarian...but I interpret tonight's news like this.....<div> </div><div>Stricklin emphasizes State has nothing on any school.....in exchange Cecil admits State's told the truth and allows us to save face......in exchange......Cam is an innocent bystander and...

    A question I have about the Shell Station meet-up

    Any of y'all ever been recruited? I'm just wondering if (a) the school pays for gas and meals in route--I would think so and (b) if they do, are receipts required from the recruit before reimbursement or are they just given a per diem and mileage. Because if receipts got sent in to State for...
