Lemmings going over the cliff...

years ago after the 'papa joe' paterno case hit the news, i asked which sec team was most likely to develop a case of denials in the future...i thought UPig was most likely, but the bobby pitrino beat down showed that jeff long (AD) and the little rock paper both did an admirable job of doing the right thing...
guess i never guessed TSUN would be the most willing to try to sweep everything under the rug...and dragging the CL under with them...
history sure likes to repeat itself...

some will say that there is no comparison, but like in politics, sometimes the crime isn't as damning as trying to cover up the crime!

as i used to tell people that worked for me...i can forgive mistakes, just don't lie about it afterwards...that will get you fired...admit your mistakes and go on.

Regarding the Clarion Ledger, When I was a Junior and Senior in high school I worked as a high school sports correspondent for the Daily News. This was in the mid to late 1960s. I worked for Phil Wallace and Lee Baker, who were the sports guys for the Daily News.

I would go to work at 8:30 or 9:00 pm on sports nights (football or basketball) (there were two of us) and then when the games began finishing up, we would begin calling the coaches to get the basic data from their games, to work up as the conference write-ups for the next day's high school sports section. Our side (Daily News) was staffed by High School guys.

The Clarion Ledger side (150 feet to the east of Wallace and Baker's office, down a hallway that separated the DN and CL offices) was staffed by Belhaven and Millsaps guys. However, most of them were such die hard OM fans, it was disturbing. It was almost like they were ashamed they were going to Millsaps. At that time it was already my intention to go to MSU and I always thought they were a funny group of guys.
