Richard: Matt please make this better. Give me the hope this isn't the freight train coming. Matt: Sorry buddy. Don't have anything for you.

Cross has been in sports long enough to know NCAA COI isn't throwing their enforcement investigators under the bus and that Lewis won't be questioned. The Enforcement committee says videotape of Lewis and boosters. Come on Cross you know Santa isn't real.

Dick is embarking on a 8-10 year journey as a supporter of the conference mule.

Maybe Richard will become spiritually enlightened like a few other Ole Miss fans and just take a break from the disgusting, corrupt, good ol' boy run sham that is college football. They'll be back when Ole Miss finds some new good ol' boys who are a little smarter about their corruption.

At some point Cross has to think of his future and what's best for his long term interest. He is talented and has a future in broadcasting - especially basketball and baseball.

If he continues to to have his reputation questioned (basically being for sale) by being a mouth piece for the one of the most corrupt organizations in NCAA history ----- can't be a good resume builder. At some point the people who are interviewing you have to question your motives.....he is either for sale or stupid

It's going to be pretty sweet to hear John Rainey advise us to take Vandy -14 over Ole Miss on their flag ship propaganda station.

Yeah I heard that with his squealy voice. I kind of felt bad for him. Matt was straight up with him and basically wouldn't allow him to defend OM.

It's all falling apart around them. Ross Bjork's days are numbered. Sooner or later, they are going to need a good plan moving forward, but they would be insane to allow that dolt and his data points to lead them. He has zero credibility and has only served to damage their reputation and dig them deeper.

Cross speculated yesterday -in a hopeful voice- that if OM can discredit Leo Lewis in the hearing that penalties won't be as harsh. Matt laughed.

Didn't Godfrey get on this very forum

Richard: Matt please make this better. Give me the hope this isn't the freight train coming. Matt: Sorry buddy. Don't have anything for you.

Cross has been in sports long enough to know NCAA COI isn't throwing their enforcement investigators under the bus and that Lewis won't be questioned. The Enforcement committee says videotape of Lewis and boosters. Come on Cross you know Santa isn't real.

And tell us all that he was unbiased and just reporting what he has learned. That he definitely wasn't a fan.

Wow...what a dummy.

The bar they're going to have to clear to discredit Lewis just moved about 8 feet higher after the NCAA's response. The world record is 8' 0.25". Good luck.

You don't think there are plenty of other employers who want a mouthpiece who says what they tell him to???

Listening to Cross yesterday was brutal. He made another argument about why would an institution comply with the NCAA if the NCAA would simply ignore their efforts. But he fails to acknowledge that the OM admin has been dishonest and untrustworthy throughout the process. Otherwise the NCAA would have taken OM's efforts seriously if they had proven themselves as compliant.

Even some of the most level headed Bears I know are seriously pissed at the NCAA for stabbing them in the back for cooperating with them. I fail to see how continuing to blatantly cheat even while the investigation was ongoing, lying to investigators, denying every significant issue the NCAA found, and trying to blame other schools for coaching witnesses to lie is cooperation. They are completely delusional.

I think Wyatt and Cross should be biased. The show is called Head to Head. There is a State guy and an Ole Miss guy. Bias isn't a problem if the listener knows your bias and both sides are presented. It's actually better than biased people pretending to be neutral.

I know some who read the NCAA response and wanted to throw up. Listen... the reality-based bear fans.. you know.. the ones who you can actually befriend and with whom you can cordially converse? Those types have abandoned the internet. They don't read and they don't post anymore. It's too depressing. All you're left with right now is the crazies.

The angrier the OM side gets the more entertaining this ordeal becomes. I didn't realize how widespread that mindset was although I should have picked up on it yesterday. Whatever points Cross makes, it comes straight from the narrative's talking points.

I'm still amazed that Cross said Bjork has really earned his paycheck throughout the investigation. The guy is costing OM millions.

I don't disagree with you there. There has been several times where the bias is on the Ole Miss side with Matt not bringing the head to head component that would be expected. I am glad Matt was a bit more hard-nosed yesterday.
