Thanks for the laugh.
Uh, you were joking, right?

UGA is clean as a whistle. Enjoy the death penalty.

That's the point I think you're missing here. I don't think it was anything "dastardly" or even wrong. I do think it was sloppy and impatient, and you're being thrown under the bus as a consequence. Given the Mannings, some facility upgrades, and yall actually having decent tradition, Ole Miss gradually taking over MS and turning into a contender isn't that much of a stretch. Doing it in one year is.

Well we had several ties to a few big recruits. We used those and threw a little money around. I agree we got greedy with Tunsil and Golson but outside of that I wasn't upset with how we went about it. I have a friend who tutored Tunsil when he got to Ole Miss and he says he in no way believes Tunsil had grades changed. Said Tunsil showed up on time at every tutor session, was "yes sir, no sir" and knew a good amount of the material they were covering. So I don't think grades were ever changed. Money being thrown around to get his LOI though? Absolutely

I think that's the point you're missing. What proof is there that anything happened besides rumor or innuendo? Because Richt got mad and turned us in? No he thought he was entitled to Tunsil and threw a hissy fit because his toy got taken away. Now its a stepdad who's saying the university gave him gifts(and people believe him obviously) when that's the easiest thing to prove. Not only that when he wasn't even involved with Tunsil's recruitment and didn't marry his mom until after he signed. If something comes up sure drag us through the mud but let's drop the moral high ground shite.

He's mad because we pushed their shite in and will again with white chocolate playing QB because their defense is soft as a fish camp initiate's innards

People are claiming there doesn't need to be any proof to get major punishments. It's baffling that they actually believe that. Unless step dad has hard evidence then his comments are no more valid than someone on a message board. How many times do you think the NCAA has dealt with disgruntled family members trying to screw someone over? This isn't the first time
Because if they put major sanctions on us or rule Tunsil ineligible with absolutely no evidence, then Ole Miss and Laremy could have a field day in court suing them

Places such as OM and State cant compete with Bama in the sense of national contender, NFL talent, coaching, fan following, etc. so we have to make up for it with other incentives.
I bet you're one of the guys who thinks state does it the "right way".

Sumlin will continue to own the beaver and Ole Miss will drop to a .125 all time win percentage vs A&M

State needs to fire their compliance officer yesterday. He turns y'all in for buyinh a kid a small cheese pizza

I really don't care. I hope every recruit is getting their junt sucked by every cleat chaser out there and getting hundreds stuffed in their pockets by every old white person who can get within arms reach.
Also no team in their right mind would go through a stepparent. You always go after momma everybody knows that shite.

What I was thinking. If step dad has proof of us giving him benefits then we deserve to get hammered for being so stupid. But we've slipped by the NCAA over and over again so I doubt those involved were that dumb

Not every case; in some rare cases, it's all about the girlfriend.
Posted on 7/6/15 at 4:50 pm to MSUbulldogs03
No shite. I'm not comparing the talent levels and visibility of us vs Alabama. I already pointed out that it's more than monetary that affects a kid's decision. But telling me that they don't take care of kids just like State and us then you're lying to yourself. That's only part of the equation.

But IIRC Tunsil dumped his girlfriend before he enrolled.

Girlfriend too yes. I should've said most cases.

It has nothing to do with Richt feeling entitled. The Tunsils had their hands out and it was well known. Richt was completely disrespected and berated by the Tunsils because he refused to play ball. Even some of your own fans heard about all of these things (even at the time). Unfortunately, him beating up his stepfather and throwing the stepfather under the bus have given the NCAA a reason to investigate due to his cooperation. The below excerpt was written soon after National Signing Day of 2013 detailing a $100K payout from Ole Miss to Tunsil (and free tickets). This is what Lindsey Miller is corroborating. Ultimately, we will see what happens, but there is certainly a lot of smoke when it comes to Tunsil.
"Look, congrats on the class, it's a good one no doubt. The tie-in with Nkemdiche made it. But, you should have quit when you were ahead. You can justify everyone in your class except Tunsil. I know the story, so do the Georgia coaches, especially John Lilly. Tunsil committed to him 4 weeks ago. Then he saw the text to Tunsil's mom where she said, "Don't be foolish, take care of the family". 100K plus Super Bowl tickets sealed the deal."
