Thank You Pat Forde

[confucius say]

I would say Forde probably hasn't seen the letter either. Kimchee and Tunsil are 2 examples that have been in the media - I would guess that they were mentioned with in context of the oddities going on at OM. As far as I can tell, all this article does is firm up all the rumors and talk that have been going on here for months. Which is great, but we won't know anything for sure until that list of 30 violations is public. I'll be VERY interested to see how it breaks down.

If the letter is not public, and I'm sure it's not at this time, I wonder who leaked this to forde

[Dawgtini]

Please tell me you are kidding.

ETA - I don't really have a problem with him not being an over the top homer for State......but would it be too much to ask that he not go out of his way to defend OM? Even if he has seen the damn NOA, he ought to just keep his mouth shut.

exactly. It's why i quit listening to their show.

Too late for MGK to declare for NFL? Bowl ban would sure put a damper on his night cap!

C34 knew this all along. It was only a matter of time.

Forde didn't write the article without doing his homework and he wouldn't imply where the investigation is centered if he wasn't confident. I doubt he's seen the letter either, but he believed his source enough to write an article about it.

Elitedawgs should become the new TMZ. Remember when someone here broke the "Tiger Woods is in a Hattiesburg rehab" story????

You have to figure it is someone at the ncaa office or in some legal office in the chain of possession of the letter. It would be foolish for anyone at OM to leak this. . wait. . nm.

Serious question. Who gives a flip if it was the old staff? That won't change the penalties. It's not like the old staff was fired for cheating.

I am not saying he didn't do his homework. I am saying that Tunsil and Kimchee are valid topics in the greater discussion of OM football recruiting regardless of their presence or lack there of on any letter or charges. I hope they are, but I don't think you can derive that from the article w/ any certainty.

[FISHDAWG]

IT'S COME!!!!

Still, screw Pat Forde... That aside, this should be all over Twitter and Instagram the next few days.

Bjork was hired in 2012, and they say most of these things happened before 2012. As much as we'd want LOIC, I don't think we'll get it since they changed the top brass already. Lost scholarships and MAYBE a 1 year post season ban.

With certainty? No. I'm not 100% sure that I'm even going to hit the "submit reply" button right now. But I'm pretty sure thats going to happen.

Watch the narrative change from
"We haven't done anything wrong"
To
"The violations are minor and deal with former coaches"
To
"This won't seriously affect us"

The spin has already started, just read the comments in the article. They are going out on some pretty long limbs to justify all of this. It's funny.

[BossDawg]

You can bet the farm too that they are scrambling to find someone to write a counter-article to calm the masses. Just watch, I bet Alford or someone will write one before the day is up.

So Matt Wyatt tweets it's old staff and Saunders stuff.

Sometimes I wonder if Matt is still a Bulldog. He seems to reach a lot and take up for UMiss.

If you follow college recruiting, this is not surprising. Long time coming

[lastmajordog]

Do you think any of this will actually make a dent in this years signing class......I have a feeling it won't or have very little negative impact. Coach 34, you have been wonderful with your info this entire time, what is your take on their recruiting class for this year since the allegations have been presented??

Finebaum confirms its mainly women's basketball and track. Believes the football issues center arounds tunsil and agents, and the prior football staff

[maroonmania]

Did his wife or mother-in-law get a hold of his twitter?

Matt just needs to shut his pie hole on this. He hasn't a clue what the allegations involve unless he's read the letter which he hasn't.

So that was under Freeze. Sat 7 games. Will be penalties for the Tunsil stuff. Pretty clear.
