I heard something interesting involving the upcoming Ole Miss sanctions

[yjnkdawg]

What "stranger things have happened"?

"Stranger things have happened" is just a saying when you think something couldn't have happened but it did. I should have just left that wording off. My bad. That comment about the no show may have just been a smart a..... comment. I thought it was funny when I heard it. As was said earlier there is no way, even if they wanted to do a no show, with contracts, obligations, etc.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

The Bob Ley/Finebaum interview was stupid on all accounts. Ley mentioned that it was a strange situation because Leo Lewis "was a transfer from OM to MSU and then turned on his old team", in which Finebaum didn't even acknowledge that it was incorrect. Finebaum just repeating what he had heard. I saw it written someplace about being held until after Egg Bowl because of safety to fans, etc. Finebaum just got it from hearing it from someplace else.

The sanctions will be released and then om can file an appeal. Won't do them any good.

From the last time they played at Davis Wade, there were very few fans scattered around the stadium except in the visitors section, I think its something just brought up to get attention.

Well, It wouldn't make since for the COI to issue the Death Penalty prior to the egg bowl and then still expect OM to play the game*****

Interesting thought for sure.....

Nor would it make sense .... **

The COI won't deliver the penalties until after the Egg Bowl in an attempt to limit potential violence situations in the rivalry. I kind of see that position by them, but if they went ahead and announced the penalties, no OM people would attend the Egg Bowl. Once the penalties are handed down, 99%of OM fans won't care anymore about football. What you guys think?

Pretty sure they were referring to players fighting each other. There's virtually no threat of violence from Ole Miss fans in Starkville since they usually bring about 500 over and there's not one man in the whole pussie lot of them.

MSU needs to take the ESPN money and run after the egg bowl. We need that money and OM will not get their share. Due to the sanctions.

Huh?

[Mimi's Babies]

Huh?

OM will not receive any money made off any games -- due to the sanctions.. Those sanctions will/should be back dated to the beginning of the investigation. All of the money from the Sugar Bowl will have to be returned also... nearly 8M.

Should OM, as rumored, decide not to show up for the Egg Bowl... Now that would be interesting for sure....

Didn't see this posted...Pat Forde said right after the COI meeting that it would be after the Egg Bowl. May of tweeted it for all I know..

I understand the thought process of the NCAA releasing after the Egg Bowl. It makes sense to me. However another school of thought is that the NCAA might announce as quickly as possible (maybe late October). This would give 4-5 weeks for things to settle down before the Egg Bowl. This would give Ole Miss clarity for their coaching search. This would be more fair to recruits with a December 20 signing date. It gives recruits more time to understand the sanctions and consider them when selecting a school. I would hate to be an Ole Miss verbal commit who finds out on December 1 that the sanctions will be much worse than anticipated. Then I only have three weeks to find another school. Unless I wait until February.

Also, if you are going to allow open transfer, I think the announcement needs to come sooner. Existing players need time to consider their transfer options. In my opinion, if the NCAA is looking out for the high school recruits, and also for the existing players, the announcement needs to come as soon as possible.

[Political Hack]

Any delay in announcing the sanctions would be because they're going to be too staggering and crippling to announce during the season. That's a very, very bad sign for Ole Miss.

Like I have said before, I worry about our players' safety. I can see them taking cheap shots. I have heard some of their trashy ass fans allude to this saying that Leo and Kobe were "marked men"

[Spiderman]

AGAIN, I want the sanctions released before the Egg Bowl. It will be a blow to that teams morale, and won't help their coaching search one bit.

Ole Miss will get the same coach they are gonna get whether the sanctions are announced in Early Nov. or Early Dec.

The candidate pool is set to begin with, and it's not that big.
