    It's not so much that they are ignoring the State Ethics Commission as much as it is that it comes across as all pre-scripted with the State Ethics Commission being somewhat complicit. At least, that is what it looks like from the outside. The Commission can avoid making a ruling (which they would have HAD to rule against Ole Miss on this issue as it is a clear violation) but still put out an "opinion" which isn't legally binding nor does it carry much/any weight. Yet they still look like they did something while not really doing it. Meanwhile, Ole Miss can say "well we were GOING to buuuuuutttt...there was that TOTALLY unexpected motion filed by one booster that just kept us from doing anything....".

    Funny how that just all worked out....

    I'm NOT saying that is how it went down but it does look suspect.

    I would not doubt this in the least. Nothing they do isn't a well orchestrated plan put into action. I laugh when I hear someone like Dick Cross say they wonder what ole miss thinks of the RR lawsuit. It's hilarious for anyone to try and act like ole miss wasn't a steering and driving force for that lawsuit. Hell their response to the NOA was written with that lawsuit in mind.

    Merkel, RR's lawyer, would have in no way took a case that had any chance of being not wanted by OM.

    If OM was against it in any small way, he wouldn't be doing it.
    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.
