You realize Nick Sabah invented this move?

I didn't say it wasn't smart. I said it's what you do when you are in the wrong and you want coverage of the story to be brief at best and die, which is what I would bet is the case with Ole Miss.

quote:

When did Alabama release the firing of their defensive line coach for recruiting violations?

The day they fired him. On a Thursday. Happened to be the day of the draft, but it was the day he lost his job.

You realize Alabama didn't fire him and then wait 90 days to talk about it, right? You also see the difference in the situations (i hope) in terms of level of severity and swiftness of Alabama's response to the wrongdoings of a staff member.

Placeholders for anyone else they might decide to roll into the lawsuit at a later date.

Or they are making sure they have everything in order before anything is released.

If Ole Miss released anything it would be "Oh they are getting out ahead of this so they can reduce penalties. It's big!" but because it has been quiet, it must be bad too. Damned if we do damned if we don't.

Everything has been in order for over a month. It was someone else who wanted a delay, not OM.

Would think with a 30 day extension, and nothing changing.......that a response would have been prepared and sealed in the envelope waiting for the 30 days to be up...........Or are you saying that if no extension would have been filed, that they were totally un-prepared to send anything in?

Hell if I know. Just like anyone else on here or in the media that claims to know what the NCAA is going to do.

I'm sure the response was sent already and that it just hasn't been released to the public yet.

Look, it may be that you guys are cleaner than most are giving you credit for. It may also be that you guys aren't as clean as you think. We'll know soon enough.

Either way, you have to at least admit you understand the reason behind the skepticism of so many (and, no, it isn't "jealousy"). Ole Miss has not historically recruited at this level or played well for a sustained period of time. It's natural for all of us to wonder why, especially when there is a lot of smoke.

I've never said that we don't cheat to get recruits. We do. We did with Tunsil and Greg Little almost certainly. I just don't think the NCAA has the evidence or the balls to punish us like people think they are going to.

I personally don't think OleMiss should release jack shite to the public. It's no one's business what kind of communication y'all have going on with the NCAA.

To be fair, Henry has always stated he thinks something is fishy and has never tried to deny or deflect on these issues.

In all seriousness, it is refreshing to see someone be that candid.
