If State fans are claiming Godfrey is a fan than what is Rosebowl? I don't think Godfrey lied about anything and all of this has been rumored since that Tuesday. I don't think the NCAA is gonna do anything to State because of his immunity. If they hammered State good luck ever getting anyone to ever agree to help you in an investigation.

You missed the part of the article about Calvin Green's payment to Leo might not be against NCAA bylaws.

And hasn't the NCAA already cleared State?

quote:

On August 16, attorneys representing Ole Miss wrote a letter addressed to COI chairman Greg Christopher, AD for Xavier University, which requested access to a separate NCAA investigation into Mississippi State. The letter, which was obtained by SB Nation, alleges that NCAA enforcement confirmed to Ole Miss that they had “quickly opened and subsequently closed” the investigation because Lewis’s statements about receiving money from Mississippi State were deemed to be “ultimately... not sufficiently credible to support an allegation.”

The claim is directly at odds with enforcement seemingly doubling down on their belief that Lewis’ statements about receiving benefits from Ole Miss were credible. As recently as the enforcement staff’s July 21 response to the COI, the NCAA has stood by Lewis as credible. “Lewis consistently provided credible and reliable information during the investigation,” enforcement wrote on July 21.

Neither one are objective journalists in this situation, but only one has been right on at least some of his stories. Godfrey not only started the nothing burger/it's a women's bball investigation spin but he also was behind the Leo Lewis may not be practicing crap as well.

And, he's written more fluff OM pieces than Yancy Porter.

He IS one of the 'reporters' that wrote that NOA #1 was all "on Nutt, WBB and the track team."

FACT.

What's the end game here? Ole Miss will know their penalties tomorrow either way

Godfrey has been obsessed for years on how the NCAA operates. The secrecy of it all and how far away it is from a typica justice system. This story and his others aren’t written to say “hey State is bad” or get State in trouble or make people feel sorry for OM. None above would ever happen. He is just trying to bring light to the process as he’s said over and over again.

His last article he weote nothing but actual quotes and this one he wrote about the path ofhow State didn’t do anything wrong as far as the NCAA goes, and those are “fluff” pieces. I know y’all are so stupid to think he is making this up. What do you think “documents” mean?

The NCAA isn't a court of law and is often retarded in their decision making(see UNC, Miami, Reggie Bush,etc.). Objectively, the Leo stuff stinks, but the NCAA has basically been pissed on by the Ole Miss athletic program and is/was looking for whatever they could get to hand out infractions.

From the article...

quote:

like, okay. Dan Mullen was basically going to try and make it seem like [they] did nothing, but they were going to try and - like whatever, they was going to try and bounce it off to other people or other things, like other schools or whatever. So like that’s kind of the sense that I got from it. You know, just like he was - he was saying like - the way that he was saying like everything, it was basically like how - whatever - he was - like Coach Mullen was going to say whatever he needed to say to get them off of Leo. So it was just like whatever he - whatever - he basically asked Leo, like whatever I need to say to protect you, then let’s let that be known now, so when that time comes, you know.


Seems like we are in tons of trouble...

he grew up and GA and went to OM because they offered more scholarship money. He's a Falcons and Braves fan and mocks the typical OM stereotype, and he's a "huge" fan? Did he write a book about OM's rival? So yall believe what a psycho like Robertson says, but when a national reporter who is alumni rights an article, it 100% false because he graduated from the school in the article? Like do yall actually believe this crap?



Do you know how ridiculous you sound? And no, I haven't read any of Rosebowl's opinions on the investigation. I have read through what factual information has been available and have enough common fricking sense to determine what is real and what is an OM fan trying to deflect.

Your claims of Leo lying are completely unfounded. Godfrey's hit piece was lined up and specifically released just before the COI to, get this, deflect. Everyone associated with either school has known he was going to drop it for well over a month. Yet you're still clinging to this absolute garbage that claims to reference "transcripts" that they don't even have access to. It's the same shite that led to Rebel Rags filing a defamation lawsuit and not knowing the fact that neither of them actually defamed Rebel Rags because they didn't say who actually paid for the merchandise.

If it is any consolation, I also don't believe that OM collaborated with the NCAA to nail Jackie Sherrill. It's a pretty common trend due to human nature. People get caught cheating, they claim everyone else does it too, then try to find some way that it's someone else's fault they got caught.

Get this, it's your own damn fault. Not Leo Lewis, not Kobe Jones, not Steve Robertson. You fricked up, deal with it.

Also when Godfrey posted the original story in 2016 the NCAA wasn't even doing the Leo Lewis investigation yet. The only thing left out was the Tunsil stuff which he sat seven games because of it. Ole Miss lied and didn't include the Tunsil stuff.

Hugh Freeze was hired because the boosters knew they could run wild in terms of access. I highly doubt Tubs/Cutcliffe played that game, and they hated O from the start.

Godfrey carried water for the Ole Miss AD with that story. Hell, the OM posters here ran with that spin until reality hit months later.

Rosebowl IS A FAN. He admits to it and so do State fans.

Godfrey passes himself off as an impartial journalist. That's the problem.

And they did nothing when Cam’s dad sold him to the highest bidder. Just more examples that prove my point.

Most of us also don't treat him as being more credible than what his position is, a fan site reporter.

Godfrey releases this shite and y'all act like it's a Supreme Court statement.
