Say what you will Ole Miss D is solid but it's not the best by a long shot as some of you suggest.
Using one game vs. using a whole body of work is illogical in a way that your dumb arse probably can't understand.

Me too.
Two losses could happen for either team.

Why was Elston suspended for the first half vs. Texas A&M?
Because Hugh Freeze is smart and nipped any sort of controversy in the bud by taking care of business ahead of time.
Way better than being like "HE DIDN'T DO NOTHIN!" and tweeting out some bullshite fake apology, imo.

After WWII you could attend UCLA for about 50 dollars a semester. With inflation that might be like 500 dollars today. Instead that number is more like 15,000 dollars. Throw in room and board and you probably easily double that to 30,000. Nothing has seen such outrageous inflation as college educations over the past generation or two.
Which has what to do with one's work ethic? I guess an earlier poster's point about how you can work just as hard and not get ahead makes sense because we're sending people out into the working wold with a shitload of debt.
quote:
Yeah I am older, but I got through college with no debt by working several jobs and averaging 60+ hours a week working. This also meant carrying 18+ hours a semester to get out of school (and turning off the money clock) early. Dad played SEC ball and I was borderline DI but I focused on academics over sports once I got to college as academics seemed the better way to a more assured job after college.
Nice anecdote. It's still not evidence of the point that people today work just as hard as they once did.
quote:
Some do, and some don't.
And the ones that don't are losers (in the literal sense, in that their teams lose football games) and don't have a shot at success.
Most of them are smart enough to know this and work their asses off to be great football players.

Alabama wins out.
State loses to Alabama and Ole Miss, Ole Miss loses to Auburn, and Florida State loses to Louisville.
That or both Alabama and Ole Miss win out.

Can we stop with this narrative? SEC football players work their asses off, even in 2014. This idea that "oh we had it so much harder back in my day" is arrogant and self serving.
The rest of your comment is great though, Allyn. Thank you for sharing.

If they dont have it. Its called life.
You and I have two different approaches to this is all.
I see a guy who puts in 40+ hours a week for something and receives what I feel isn't fair compensation. You feel that it's more than fair. I think we're not going to agree on this.
quote:
I had a 1992 Mitsubishi Mighty Max. 20 dollars would fill it up for a month. This is moot considering I was the average college student and not a football player.
Was the school making millions of dollars in profit off of your work? Because, if so, then your experience would be relevant to the conversation.
quote:
Uh no. When i was paying my tuition, debt up to my eyes - the football players get free rides and Im suppose to feel sorry for them? They want to get paid??
Again, how much money did the school make off of you.
You think they should have it off as well (if not worse) than regular students. I feel they should have it off much, much better. If I worked what is basically a full time job and my "employers" made a frickload of money off of it, I'd be a bit miffed too.
And, again, Ross Bjork and Hugh Freeze agree with my stance on this that players deserve more than what the NCAA will allow. I'll take the word of the AD and head coach - people who actually spend time around college athletes all damn day - over that of some bitter message boarder.

Because most automobiles run on gasoline, and automobiles are the primary form of transportation in the United States.

So basically you're saying that college athletes should have it off worse than their peer students (who drive cars, live in apartments, etc.) because they're receiving a scholarship to play football?

If this is the road we are going to go down, then the NFL needs to start minor league football now.
I agree 100%
If there were an NFL minor league, then I'd be entirely against paying players anything more than a scholarship because those who want to go pro would have other options. As of right now, the only option these kids have is to play college football.
ETA: There was an article a few months ago in The Economist about the NCAA and this paying players debate, and that was the solution they suggested. They basically argued that baseball prospects can go to the minor leagues, and basketball/soccer prospects can play in Europe, so do something similar for football players. Give them an opportunity to be actual professionals at 18.
