You’ll all cheat, some like Fulmer are better cheese eating rats.

Just cause you heard some rumor about him fighting a player or some other BS doesn’t give you the right to make yourself look like an ass.

His biggest crime to this point is getting a class that ranked outside the range that is deemed “acceptable” for Ole Miss. I really doubt he’s done anything that Tubby, Meyer, Miles, and Shula haven’t done themselves in recruiting. It’s a dirty game, and the “haves” simply don’t want the “have nots” intruding on their territory. Cut stayed out of their way, so all the things he did were overlooked.

And by the way, if you really don’t think Ed is crazy enough to whack an opposing player, you’ve been eating too much brie in the Grove.

and thats the bottom line. And I’m a freaking LSU fan.

A. Hit an opposing player ala Woody Hayes within the next 3 years or

He gets in the faces of his own players, but somehow I doubt he’s that crazy to attack another player.

B. Cause OM to get LOIC with major sanctions within the next 3 years or

Could happen. Of course, it’s just as likely or even more likely that this happens to AU. Don’t you guys lead the nation in probations since the NCAA began handing them down?

C. Be the beneficiary of a DUI from the local Oxford constabulary within 3 years.

Check your facts. He doesn’t drink anymore so far as I know. If he does, it must be rarely. He had two assisstants that got caught with alcohol related incidents in his first months on the job, and both were fired immediately, so an alcohol charge from him is highly unlikely.

And last but not least

D. Still be unable to lead Ole Miss beyond a .500 record until another Manning is old enough to be trotted out.

This is a possibility too, and we’ll see in time, but if all of his coaching peers truly believed that, would they be turning him in for violations at such an alarming rate?

To prove my point, I know that we had many more incidents occuring with Cutcliffe as our coach, but no one cared outside of Starkville, b/c Cut wasn’t beating anyone out for recruits.

Orgeron is making waves and kicking ass on the recruiting trail. He must be dirty and crooked!

The Orgeron will either

A. Hit an opposing player ala Woody Hayes within the next 3 years or

B. Cause OM to get LOIC with major sanctions within the next 3 years or

C. Be the beneficiary of a DUI from the local Oxford constabulary within 3 years.

And last but not least

D. Still be unable to lead Ole Miss beyond a .500 record until another Manning is old enough to be trotted out.

And, for the record, Ole Miss draws 50k+ after consecutive losing seasons. One losing season and Tommy West’s bunch will be playing in front of half that.

Thought experiment: would West (or any other mortal working with Memphis’ resources) have gotten DeAngelo Williams to come play in a half-empty stadium filled with road fans going up against The Orgeron, or even the real human being behind the legend?

And I say this as someone who thinks Cutcliffe got a bad shake and who roots for Memphis the 10-11 games a year they aren’t playing the Rebels.

In the end I’m sure there’s some subparagraph of some stupid NCAA rule that Coach O has violated (he probably parked on the wrong side of the street on a Tuesday, or forgot to tell the O-line coach to go wait in the car while he talked to a recruit, or something). As long as boosters aren’t buying cars for recruits I’m not going to worry too much about violations talk.

I am friends with an NCAA Division 1 assistant, and needless to say, their monthly cell phone bill exceeds the per capita income of 122 of the world’s nations. It’s literally not possible to have a conversation with him, his cell phone rings literally every two minutes or he’s calling or texting someone.

It’s basically ridiculous.
