Tom Mars off the top rope....

[HD6]

"I've been involved in media law and FOIA cases for thirty years," Mars told ESPN. "I've unsealed court records for the Wall Street Journal in the Whitewater matter and used the FOIA to obtain public records in countless cases involving government agencies. In all those years, I've never encountered a government entity that was so defiant and so willing to just make up groundless reasons for keeping public records under wraps."

 

[missouridawg]

This is a bad look for a hack lawyer

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Ha. Mars meet The University of Mississippi.

 

[LandsurveyorDawg]

Wow. That sums up their hubris quit nicely.

 

[Xenomorph]

At this point Bjork and Vitter could get on the phone with Nutt and ask him what it would take for him to settle. It would be like the scene in the movie Vacation where Chevy Chase is trying to pay the hick mechanics to get his car back.... Nutt could just laugh and ask... How much you boys got?

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

This only works when and if you have a judge that is NOT impartial. We shall see.

WOW!

Their opposition to this is making it so much worse.

Isn't it fitting that Dak gave MSU a level of press just by his positive image that we couldn't have paid for in a decade and their attorneys have done the same thing in reverse for Ole Miss?

I keep waiting for someone up there to step in and shut this down in oxford, but maybe there isn't anyone left.

Mars is laughing at them.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

This whole ordeal has given us a little bit of everything. None of us could have scripted how 'Ole Miss' they would be throughout this process.

 

[57stratdawg]

Once those records go public, it'll be apparent why they wanted to hide them so bad.

 

[DerHntr]

They are inviting every Tom, Dick, and Harry to make the FOIA request. I cannot see this ending with OM keeping any of those calls private.

 

[gptdawg]

The way OM is currently using the law doesn't make sense in regards to parties wanting the records actually getting the full records requested. Freeze was allowed to delete records he deemed "personal". What oversight is there that shows he only deleted personal calls and not just any call he ,or OM, didn't want public?

 

[KurtRambis4]

So mars is colluding

w Mullen now, too!!!1?!

Mars is arguing that OM has no right to redact anything on that phone in MS.

If they could have a redo, it would be worth $20mil to them easily to stop Mars on the front end. Blood in the water now. Those public records are coming out. Might have to go through a couple of judges and a whole bunch of OM FOIA fines to get it done.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

The more they squirm, the more obvious it is that they are hiding something big- and thus, the more the media will continue to dig. The records are coming out. UM is just embarrassing themselves now.

 

[PineGroveBully]

Well he can't delete anything, he can redact the records only on a sheet of paper with a sharpie, which OM then turned over to Mars, the records stay intact. If OM keeps fighting a FOIA or whatever the Mississippi statute is called or turns over a practically completely redacted phone records would it be legal or possible to bypass OM and request them from the phone carrier using the law since said phone is paid for with tax dollars. I'm asking the legal types on here, not making a statement.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

In all seriousness, I hope this is not Penn State bad, but as crazy as they are acting, it makes you wonder.
Please ESPN, get the name right on the ticker.

 

[tatedog]

Hey, Tom. Welcome to our world.

The funny thing is the Rebbies have apparently turned Mars from a superb attorney representing his client well to a superb attorney with a soon to be raging hardon for Ole Miss.

They perpetually underestimate there adversaries and overestimate their abilities.

I'm thinking not wise with Mars.

Unfortunately some will still confuse us with them. Was listening to College Sports on Sirius XM the other day and they were discussing the OM scandal (of course) and one guy says "it was only a few years ago they were #1 in country with Dak Prescott...". He was quickly corrected but still...jeez.

 

[thatsbaseball]

No.50 and damn proud of it... is anyone really surprised ?

Hopefully with all that's going on that will end soon. More and more people are recognizing us because of Dak and with OM getting hammered in the press like they are, it will help people realize we aren't the same entity.

 

[Digging dog]

Same entity that told JFK to go 17 yourself. Nothing new. ****
