PSA: Boneyard Is Online

[121Josey]

Now for words from our good friend and host.

 

[Drebin]

"This will be the most significant NCAA case in a generation." Steve guarantees this. Hmmm.

 

[57stratdawg]

Here's the thing that gets me: I'm not sure OM fans care if they're lied to. I have friends around Oxford that get, usually, very solid information. They have been off on this stuff since Day 1, because OM's athletic department has repeatedly floated out BS. I would be pissed, but I'm not so sure it's really moving the needle (yet) in Oxford.


It doesn't help to 'win today's press conference' if it means you lose one tomorrow. When you have to take such a shortsighted approach to information, it's pretty telling on the big picture's outlook.

 

[121Josey]

"Failed to Cooperate?" B-b-b-b-b-b-b-but what about "Exemplary Cooperation"?

 

[CochiseCowbell]

"This will be the most significant NCAA case in a generation." Steve guarantees this. Hmmm.

He was pretty adamant about that. He wasn't vague there at the end. I hope they're crippled.

 

[patdog]

"This will be the most significant NCAA case in a generation."

I think that's been a given for at least 6 months now. Most important case in a decade at the very least. Whichever way it turns out.

One thing I have considered is so that the admin can catch leaks "in their walls". Nevertheless, it's clear that everthing has resolved around keeping the 2016 calendar year on the tracks.

I don't think that's what he's saying, although you're right about that. I think he's saying that it will surpass the USCw case. Up til now that has been a distant possibility. Now it's highly probable.

 

[patdog]

I think that's the way it's going to wind up too. It's gonna be real bad for them in the next several years. But, if it's not, the case may be even more significant because it's the rest of the nation is going to start recruiting just as aggressively as they are now.

 

[Digging dog]

Steve has really put his reputation and everything else on the line. Been mocked and criticized for a few years. Really bombarded this past year. His final vengeance will be exemplary.

 

[57stratdawg]

The NCAA is well aware of that. OM is banking on either A) the NCAA is ready to let schools start policing themselves or B) they win a legal battle against the NCAA.

Tough spot to be in.

Yes... this is the key part of this investigation as a whole because of the media attention the Rebs got with those recruiting classes and wins over Bama. If the NCAA doesn't give them penalty equal to their transgression, the rest of the SEC will become the wild, wild west with recruiting.

 

[patdog]

You'll never "win" a legal battle against the NCAA. You may wind up winning the case, but it will come at a huge cost and a lot of time. Ask Jerry Tarkanian and the Southern Cal assistant coach how beating the NCAA in court turned out for them.

So who's the bagman in Pontotoc??? First I've heard of that. Thats not a very big town.

Somebody who didn't want to drive all the way to Oxford from Tupelo.

When all of this NCAA stuff started blowing up a few months ago Steve was demonized by the bears. As a matter of fact, they claimed to have dirt on Steve and other stuff and declared war. They were saying all kinds of stuff like they were going to bring down Steve and MSU with inside info.

Now we are still waiting for those threats to materialize.

All you bears need to listen carefully. Everyone of you fan boys and media leaders have NO balls. You can't admit you are wrong on all accounts...you can't admit you have been lied to ...and you can't back up your intel or words.

 

[Xenomorph]

The really funny thing is that they think Rosebowl is the root of their troubles

when really, he's just the only one telling them the truth from the start.

 

[coach66]

I agree Strat, there was a long thread on Nafoom exploring that topic from a

state guy and he was mocked. I would be mad as hell if I was an Ole Miss fan right now, they have been misled.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Typical 'Kill the Messenger' mentality

 

[maroonmania]

when really, he's just the only one telling them the truth from the start.

Its all about PR and perception with the Bears and that is why Rosebowl is now their enemy #1. In the end the penalties and sanctions will be what they will be and Robertson won't have any say in the matter but that apparently really doesn't matter to them. Its more important what someone SAID the sanctions might be rather than what the sanctions actually end up being.

 

[Shamoan]

you are being generous whey you say they are winning a press conference. if anything, they are in some sort of press conference holding pattern. more of a, stall the inevitably bad press conference in hopes of keeping together a signing class or two, but even that is backfiring.

 

[Shamoan]

if anything, they should thank steve. om fans know he is somehow more credible than a multitude of their sources and its become crystal clear that their sources are being misled as part of a bigger scheme with a very poorly thought-out end-game. if they were being honest and wanted to know details about what is coming down the pipe, steve's words hold a lot more credibility than those of their fan sites and his credibility grows every day the more he continues to be right.

I can sort of understand them deluding themselves into thinking the penalties end up being worse because Steve publicizing everything has forced the NCAA's hand. Of course the reality is that Steve is being fed a bunch of information because somebody pretty connected (possibly actually at the NCAA?) wants UMiss to fry. They were going to publicize that information regardless.

I know. I know.

Sure hope you are right BUT from the look of things .. you sure would not know that this was fazing them in any shape, form or fashion. 8 of their 13 commitments are highly rated. Doesn't seem to be causing any major perturbations .. at all.

And .. we can count on the CL at 99.9% confidence level .. they will continue to stick their heads in the sand.

 

[bulldognation]

It's not that OM fans don't care... It's that they honestly don't know they're being lied to. They would rather believe they're being targeted due to their success.

Epitome of delusional superiority complex.

Yep, Rosebowl has such a large national following that the NCAA will have no choice but to make things worse on OM because of what he is publicizing.*******

Well I was thinking more of other outlets picking it up. As I said, it's still delusional, but I can understand how they get there if they ignore the fact that Steve is not SHerlock Holmes and this stuff was coming out one way or another.

 

[Indndawg]

Its a part of their Douchy Appeal that they only listen to them that tickle
