    Angry Rebel Rags lawsuit

    Judge denied motions to change venue and sever cases this morning. Kobe Jones's lawyer says they will appeal to the Supreme Court, Merkel says he expected that.

    Why would a judge deny? It wasn't like Kobe and Leo would have been in the same room when interviewed by the NCAA. Those 2 interviews have nothing to do with each other. Sounds like they got a UM friendly judge and they knew it would be bullshit like that.

    The judge did his undergrad at MSU, his ruling states:This court finds defendants Jones and Lewis have been properly joined under Rule 20(a) as the relief asserted against these defendants arises from the same transaction, occurrence, or same series of transactions or occurrences, and common questions or law or fact to all parties will arise in action," Luther's ruling stated.

    Why don't these guys (lawyers and judges) just speak plain English?? What he said just doesn't make sense. Maybe it would after 5 or 6 readings if you really concentrated.

    So this judge is staying that all of the occurances happened at the same time which would be a lie. These happened to the same business committing the same illegal activities

    Good question and also to know what Merkel's agenda is. In other words what was his reasoning for taking this case.

    IF the said plaintiff is in such dire financial straight how would he afford an attorney. Filing suit against 2 college students is foolish in the least

    great! they deny motions.....keep appealing all the way to supreme court. further proof Yancy, chuck, et al will all be in a nursing home before this case sees a courtroom....

    Kobe and LL will have been retired from the NFL, and the Marlboro man's business will be a JC Penny's by then.

    I have no idea how it could go to court. LL and KJ made their claims to the NCAA in private and they have not gone on record since about the case. The NCAA published their NOA with names redacted as well as Rebel Rags business name redacted. Ole Miss is the ones that released the names in their response to the NCAA.

    You can't sue LL and KJ for slander and lost business when they weren't the ones that made it public. Rebel Rags should be suing Ole Miss.

    Which is exactly what Terry Warren would do if he himself actually wanted to sue anyone. He's just being a good (dissociated) booster and doing the university's bidding. If it isn't thrown out first, I expect him to drop the suit once it becomes clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that it won't do OM any good.

    He's not dissociated. OM denies that it happened also. For the COI to figure out as it pertains to the NCAA case. Gonna be interesting to see how they rule on it.

    And the whole thing of the lawsuit is the guy has to prove that not only did they conspire against him, but that his business has suffered because of it.

    Hell, every State fan should order something for an Ole Miss buddy or family member for Christmas from them.
    Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.

    That's correct and it is IMPOSSIBLE to prove that their business has been affected since the impending sanctions and self imposed sanctions have occurred contemporaneously with the RR/Leo incident. If anything hurt their business it is that.

    I seriously doubt this sees a jury.

    If by some remote chance that Rebel Rags decided to sue OM, then RR would be shutting their OM related business operation down permanently.

    So RR would have to prove that Miller, Leo, and Kobe were instructed by "John Doe" to lie to the NCAA in an attempt to damage RR. What kind of proof do they think they can dig up? It isn't like he can use the photoshopped twitter message that Fancy was showing off. You would also need some type of motive since there is none. Why would Leo or Kobe want to risk their eligibility on lying to the NCAA to damage some random guy that runs a UM store? There is zero common sense in this lawsuit.

    Although I guess it is the type of thing UM would try to do to MSU so I guess that is why they think it is possible. Kind of like Devinner getting in UM's pocket and saying whatever they could get to stick on Redmond. It is like that crazy spouse that is sure their significant other is cheating on them only to find out that they are banging the neighbor all along.
