Yes. There's a reason it's still burned into my mind 25 years later.

Agree with your sentiment in general, but really, as it applies to AC, what faults did we KNOW about until this bombshell dropped? I mean the dude has been the toast of the town in Starkville for a year and a half. Hadn't heard a negative word about him from anyone personally or professionally, not even from any anonymous message board posters. People that may have known some negative stuff obviously kept their mouth shut about it.
Heard some rumors this morning from someone that works in the AD.
1) Cann requested use of the school jet about a month ago to fly to Texas but he went to Gainesville instead.
2) Mullen is not out of this. This could get embarrassing for him too. The phone stuff just isn't her and Cann.
Pay attention to #2 here. There are FOIA requests for she and and Dons phones as we speak. There are some hungry underpaid journalists setting up shop in the swamp. Their main target is Merlin?s. Secondary target is Loafers. These journalists know Loafers was covering up when he was in Stark and they know she recruits Dons D more than actual players. Bout to get real. Benedict Arnold always loses in the end.
Just had an interesting twitter convo with Brant Blaylock's mom. Was tweeting yesterday with someone about Brant and how we thought he would turn out to be a big loss to us in the same way as Luke Reynolds. Great kid, lots of talent, leader and dreamed of playing for State. He's playing really well for his JUCO and is committed to Southern Miss. She plainly stated that Cann was the reason he left because he "knew what wasn't good for him." This kid is not a "problem" kid. This is the kind of young man any program needs and wants. He didn't leave because of playing time, he didn't leave because of disciplinary reasons...he left because Cann and the evironment he created "wasn't good for him."
To be honest, we are not the program everyone is still stuck in the 90?s on. We got passed up by some pretty shitty programs when we brought Polk back. Vandy and South Caroline are just two who passed us by. We are still a top 25 baseball program but we aren?t anywhere near where we should be. Thank LT for that.
Just putting this in perspective. At some point we have to stop stepping on our own Dick?s to take the next step and win something of meaning.
