SCHAEFFER STILL NOT AT OLE MISS

I knew there was someone else to blame in that incident, the cell phone companies. Note to all Ole Miss students, hide your cell phones when you see Brent and a girl coming.

On a side note, he better find his way to Oxford before Sept. 3 or we’re more screwed than a stripper with Mike Price. His back ups will be walk ons and true freshmen, and we’re not talking Tim “greatest QB ever not named Jimmy Claussen” Tebow type true freshmen either.

Too bad Werner is going to have draw up plays for Brent on a giant Pictionary tablet between each play. Your last “the next Mike Vick” had 5 years in the OM system and never picked it up, and we now supposed to believe Schaeffer can pick up Oregeron’s in less than a month?

Ooops, I forgot to mention I think BS will be there for two-a-days.

There is a big difference between Michael Spurlock and Brent Schaeffer, that being the Brent was good enough to start at UT as a freshman. If he can pick up UT’s system enough to start in a month’s time, he can pick up enough in a month at Ole Miss to be a better QB by Sept. 3 than anyone we had all of last year. He might not be a world beater, but he can’t be any worse.

Where did I call him the next Vick by the way? I just said we’d be screwed if he can’t play. I doubt you’d find anyone out there that disagrees with me on that point. Are you a University of Memphis State University fan or a State College fan, b/c I honestly don’t think anyone else cares to talk crap to us, especially unprovoked. Am I right?

Shaeffer has been studyin’ the playbook for months. Him and Werner talk every couple of days. He’s not going to be clueless.

Is it ideal? No.

Can the offense get any worse? No. (technically yes, since they were 115th in scoring offense)

Don’t forget, Ole Miss has a Josh Booty type in the form of MLB wanna-be Cliff Davis (Bama 3-star QB recruit a few years back).

Yeah he’s a walk on but he’s got a free ride complements of the Houston Astros!

You’re right. You are screwed if BS doesn’t play.

Also, my post reads more like mean-spirited smack than it sounded in my head. My apologies. BTW, BS had the benefit of playing alongside Ainge.

Davis needs a year to get in football shape. True freshman, Michael Herrick, weighs around 175 pounds, so he needs a year in the weight room. Behind that we have Billy Tapp on scholarship, who got beat out by a couple of walk ons for the spring starting job. In other words, Schaeffer needs to get into school and then be kept packed away in stirafoam whenever he’s not on the field to keep him from getting hurt.

He plays all 12 games, we have a shot to win 6 or 7 games. If he gets hurt or doesn’t play at all, 2 or 3 would be a spectacular season. I actually would swap places with GT and their string of 7-5’s right now.

Ole Miss fans, what happened to Robert Lane?

Be in Oxford by the beginning of summer? By whose f’ed-up definition of summer is it not summer yet?

The worst part of that situation is CEO will not even comment on it. H e made that bed, he needs to get out of his hummer and make a statement to Ole Miss fans on the status of his QB.

“When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong”

Lane is at tight end and/or fullback these days. He probably could go back under center in a pinch, but I’d rather have Schaeffer there by a mile.

As for Spurlock… I think he gets a bad rap in part because Cutcliffe really didn’t play him until Eli was gone. There were a lot of games(including SEC contests) that 10-3 season where Cut could have given Spurlock some playing time but left Eli out on the field. If he hadn’t been so green out of the gate, he might have had the confidence to be a good QB; he certainly didn’t lack the tools, it was just the execution that was horrible. By the time The Orgeron (and, more pertintently, Noel Mazzone) showed up, Spurlock—heck, the whole QB corps—was a lost cause.

Orgeron has commented on the situation plenty. He was the reason everyone found out Schaeffer wasn’t going to be making it for the second summer session, b/c he mentioned it on a radio interview. They originally expected him to be able to get in by June, but his junior college didn’t do graduation until June 10, so the first of July became the date. Then I believe they found out he had to do a couple correspondence courses to meet some other NCAA requirement, so now the date has been changed to the first of August. Each time there was a new development, The Orgeron came out of his cave, ripped his shirt off, and roared. His translator would then relay the message about Schaeffer. In other words, he’s been on top of it from a PR standpoint the whole time, not exactly dodging the issue.

The whole situation is still ridiculous. This guy needs to learn how to act like an SEC caliber coach. He is damn lucky Miami fired Kehoe and Werner.

“This guy needs to learn how to act like an SEC caliber coach.”

Amen; he needs to start negotiating secret deals with other SEC teams, sexually harass a secretary, go to a strip club, get in drunken shouting matches with frat boys, drop a dime on ’Bama’s recruiting violations, lead the conference in the Fulmer Cup standings, and/or jump to the NFL at the first available opportunity. Because that’s The SEC Way.

Good one Chris. I find it funny how everyone gets worked up over the guy b/c he’s not the cookie cutter, politician of a coach that we see everywhere these days.

It reminds me somewhat of the car commercials where the old guy is yelling at the parked car telling it to slow down simply b/c it looks fast. Basically, he looks like he’d be crazy and eat your children, so everyone assumes that he’s a joke and not SEC caliber. In fact, he’s actually better at glad-handing the wealthy alums to try to get more money for the program than our former coach.

Do you think Schaeffer will show up at OU in the next couple of days?

Cliff Davis is the shit!!!!!!
