re: The truth behind Ole Miss

Well, since sanctions make their way to Tuscaloosa about every ten years or so you might be due. Ole Miss cheated. I admit it. How much of it was known by the current coaches, we may never know. How bad a punishment will we get, I will wait and see. Don't be the Bama fan that acts like their program doesn't have money flowing around it. There are plenty of reasonable Bama fans who know it, accept it, and still love the school and its team.

I am not the fan that says we don't pay kids......but I am the fan that says nothing either way about it. I don't brag about being clean, and I don't brag about the REC getting players. Unlike the many Ole Miss fans, who at the beginning of this whole mess, stuck their heads up high and proclaimed they weren't cheating. Any post proclaiming they were was met with ridicule, or posters were called "salty" because OM fans, at that point, could not be proven wrong. Now that they HAVE been proven wrong, now some want to use the "everyone" does it" defense. If those people that proclaimed total innocence hadn't been so arrogant and condescending trying to "protect" the image of your program, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

At each stage, many OM fans have looked at the situation through homer glasses, and tried to convince everyone of us that it isn't bad, or someone was lying......from the Tunsil suspension, to the Step-dad NCAA conversations to the NOA, seems that many have proclaimed there was nothing to each, yet each has causes y'all harm. Even when the man, sitting in front of millions of people proclaimed he was paid by coaches, some of the more faithful still tried to convince us, "he didn't say that" or "it came from a special fund" or "he was confused" in a effort not to admit guilt.

These reasons above are why most rivals fans are having fun at your expense...........I asked a 7-7 coach one time why everyone seemed upset with OM.....his answer "they are operating outside the accepted norms". Many folks have used the "80 in a 70 MPH zone, while OM is doing 100 analogy" my buddy says this is EXACTLY what he meant.
