This seemed to run out of steam fairly quickly.

What can we attribute this to?

A) Lack of proof of its existence.

B) Acceptance of the Ole Miss party line that if it does exist it adds little or nothing to the previously alleged violations.

C) Too early/not enough info available to create substantial theories.

D) It's getting close enough to the actual season that it's not worth discussing relative to other topics.

What say the experts?

Nice one. Actually my "E" was going to be the theory that I'm going with. I didn't want to post it to see if anyone else had the same thought.

Has Steve said they got another NOA or addendum? I thought he said they will get 1. Even ESPN just released an article saying om is still under investigation

"The program is still under investigation by the NCAA and there is no timetable for a resolution,..."

I believe on the Boneyard today he said the NCAA is still conducting interviews related to the shenanigans in question.

Bjork said today on h2h that om hasnt "written the final chapter" on this yet. I took that to mean they have another response to write based on new allegations. Good or bad for om? Dont know, but i think it cannot help their argument for the "we are just the unfortunate beneficiaries of a bad PRIOR administration" narrative. He knows they allowed the inmates to run the assylum and whats more, he knows the ncaa is going to punish them for both the past and the present.

I think he also knows the delays have hurt them. Getting minimal sanctions dissappeared when the tunsil fiasco went to court. ULL came out smelling like a rose because they DID NOT "lawyer up". That is the definition of exemplary cooperation in the ncaa's eyes.

"When you get to control what you can control -- and that's everything that happens on that field, off the field in social decision, academic decisions and in this room -- that's what you should concentrate on. When you see the kids doing that, it's quite a motivator for our coaches."






Above quote is from your linked article. *cough* social decisions *cough*

Did he really go there?

Taking a wait and see approach. No idea if it exists now or not, but too many people are claiming the NCAA is still investigating, so it's probably just a question of when, not if. There's plenty in the first letter to bury them if the NCAA wants to though.

Went to see Dylan and Merle Haggard at the Jxn Coliseum several years ago.

The stands were full of us old '60s types with our Bic lighters. We were there to hear the old stuff, Blowin' in the wind, Times they are a' changing, etc.

Merle knew where his bread was buttered, and did all the songs we remembered - to much applause.

Dylan did everything off his (then) new album.

It totally sucked and left us all with our Bic lighters in our pockets.

Maybe it will be different this time, but I'm not going.

Yeah, I saw Dylan at Jubilee Jam ten or twelve years ago. It was probably the worst show I've ever seen, and I've seen Nickleback. You could tell the guy just didn't want to be there.

Dylan was obviously one of the greatest songwriters of his generation, but he blows as a singer and a performer - and always has.

Never was a Dylan fan but I have to believe people are seeing him now because of a bucket list than the music. He has got to be 2 days older than dirt by now.

Yeah, it'll be a bucket list show for me. 2016 has been brutal for musicians and I've been seeing a lot of older performers this year...

I agree with the general sentiment - Dylan is talented musically - as a songwriter. I give him props for writing some really good stuff. However, he's not an especially gifted guitar player, chord progression aside, and he has a terrible voice. His early stuff was passable coming out of a studio but he puts on a dreadful live performance. He gets a pass, because, OMIGOD, HE'S BOB DYLAN.

Not a good analogy

If songwriting makes you a musician, then being a sports journalist makes you an athlete.
It would be that being a music critic makes you a musician, which it doesn't.
I think Dylan could sing, and Nashville Skyline is a good example, but for whatever reason he mostly chose not to.

Apropos of nothing, the only intramural sports championship t-shirt I earned was when I was on the winning sports trivia quiz bowl team at Southern Miss.

Not arguing his lack of performing abilities, nor his voice. I was just saying that the dude isn't completely lacking musical talent.

Again, I liked his chord progressions up until anything after Hurricane. I also haven't listened to much of his new stuff. But what I have heard I wasnt a fan of

Yep.

Dylan was a musical genius who inspired a lot of other musical geniuses.

When the geniuses say you are a genius, you are a damn genius.

He's on the Mt Rushmore of American "Rock/Pop" stars.

Like him or not, his influence and originality can't be denied.

As a person that is well-versed in live Dylan, don't go seeing him expecting a "good show" or expecting things to sound just like his albums. Dylan's performances have more to do with his current band than anything and venue.

And I'm probably going to see him at in Huntsville. I also enjoy his most recent album.

Someone made an interesting comment worth noting. The narrative right after

Tunsil night was that we have all the paperwork, this is no big deal we were just heppin in a totally legitimate way and this will be cleared up in no time.
To the untrained eye it would appear someone misfiled the paperwork.
