Didn't mean for it to come across arrogant. Was just pointing out do you want to give up building a program to compete every year for hope of one year.

Tell that to the players that get all that extra treatment and free swag from bowl games or the coaches who like extra practice days which can include early enrollees.


Exactly, bowls are not meaningless

Freeze isn't complaining about the NCAA punishment, he's complaining on his perception as a coach. He's the guy pissed when he went off the cliff sober on a freak accident and everyone at the funeral is saying, "must've been drunk", even when the tox came back with no alcohol.


Good to see the Piss faithful still face-rolling their keyboards this late into the fiasco. Looks like they've recruited some new "talent."

Well we were literally one play away from doing it this past season. I understand your arrogance and your fanbase has earned it, but that is how it went down.

We have the best returning QB in the league while several others are having to start fresh.

OM got close this year, but for every bad break you got like the Arkansas game, you got lucky breaks and bounces in other games that could have easily gone the other way. Bottom line is that if OM didn't get it done last year with the talent they just lost to the NFL and to graduation, I don't see it happening this year. Bama and LSU will continue to be more talented, deeper teams. That's why OM can win those games at times head to head but still not be able to close the deal. A season is a marathon, not a sprint. Teams with more talent and depth win the day more often than not. With all the expectations and now distractions, I can actually see 2016 being a very disappointing 8-4 or 9-3 type year for the Rebs. I think the same for the Vols, teams that aren't used to the bright lights tend to fade and do better as underdogs. We shall see.

If you were a college coach, would you rather play in a meaningless bowl game that has no championship possibilities, or keep 5 scholarships?

It's not so much a bowl game they are worried about, it's the SEC Title game they are hopeful about and don't want to lose.

Disappointing? I think you mean one of the best seasons in program history.

True...but when it's SEC Title game or bust, 9-3 is disappointing. If you cheat your tail off and get a talented roster like OM has, and then go on probation with literally nothing to show for it...that can be sort of a depressing reality.

Not debating which is more important, just pointing out that bowls are not meaningless.

Attendance to most bowl games prove they are meaningless. Schools lose money on bowl games. But players do get "swag". Coaches getting extra practice is the only thing I can see having any meaning.

Having talked to a few college players, the "swag" is a big deal.

So the stepdad was able to prove $800 but isn't able to prove 100k-200k?


My point was that he WOULDN'T WANT to let anyone know about a bigger payment if he could get away with it. He would immediately owe back taxes on that sum, and that is not an inconsequential amount. We are talking about a lump sum of $35k plus interest and penalties for a payment in the 6 figure range. If a guy has already blown that money, or socked it away where it is no longer liquid, where the hell is going to come up with 35k+?

I was just saying that there would be incentive for a person to admit to a smaller amount and try like hell to hide a bigger payout. Just because there is a whistle blower, you can assume he would reveal this if it could hurt him this badly.
