There is ZERO chance Ole Miss "Lawyers UP".....

[TUSK]

None. Nada. Zilch.

If those rat bastards do, they might as well build a cabin in the middle of The Grove, lease it rent free to Harvey Updyke (with no deposit) and give him an IBC slap full of a Spike 80/Napalm chem mixture....


I dunno how it's gonna shake out, but that isn't one of their (logical, lucid) options...

[Really Clark?]

How can they be so delusional to think they can do what OSU, USCw, Bama and other more powerful institutions with better lawyers have never even attempted to do. But they think they should and think it would set the NCAA straight? Delusional is not a strong enough word for those douches. Harvey at least had a legitimate plan that could succeed.

To be fair, I believe the fans are the ones dreaming up fantasy their lawyers can save them, not the school officials. Who knows though? Their officials may believe this too

Ughh. They have spent over 1.5 million on attorney fees already. Pretty sure these idiots have already lawyered up.

Oh I'm sure. And I was mainly talking about the turds siting they are "hearing" that the university is sincerely considering taking action. Funny how their rally cry has gone from "this is a good thing" to "we gonna sue the NCAA!!"

Their law school was ranked 127th last time I looked. What the 17 could go wrong? Be relentless in your defense just like Bucky was relentless in recruiting............you dumb bastages.

[Dawgowar]

Their lawyers fired THEM, okay? When your case is so bad that counsel whose lone purpose is to mitigate penalties dumps your ass, you be officially f'd.

[Corn Bread]

O good lord let this be true. IT, could be here.

Have you been drinking? When is the last time a bear has been accused of being lucid or logical.

[Political Hack]

Nothing they have done makes sense. They're desperate and have made bad decision after bad decision after bad decision. Now they're alluding to filing a law suit against the NCAA because an article in the press? They're a bunch of reactionary rookies. If the university allows these clowns to continue running the Ath Dept they're doomed regardless. They have completely lost any semblance of institutional control over the football program. Window jumping, bong masks, admitted liars reporting to the masses from networks outlets, administration officials lying to the press continuously, t-shirts saying its "what you can prove," and now they're threatening to sue the governing body of college football? Bat shit crazy? I'd have to say yeah.

Yes, yes I have... I've been out drankin atop my tractor whilst slaving over my meth crop (as it is too hot in the daytime), thank you...

[ScottH]

What they have done is so removed from what most the rational norm on the situation they are either writing the new playbook on handling the NCAA or providing the greatest example of self fornication in history.

All my chips are now on the latter.

There is no possible middle ground at this point.

Hack always nails it. That place is a train wreck. Might as well rename oxford, Jonestown.

[Todd4State]

They’ll never do it because the NCAA will just tell them- “You don’t want to play by the rules? OK- then you can leave. Have fun playing Belhaven.” All the NCAA would have to do at that point is say that a win against Ole Miss doesn’t count against bowl eligibility and then they would be toast forever.

Ole Miss needs the NCAA more than the NCAA needs them.

[LC Dawg]

My wish for a while has been to just get to the end and see what their punishment is and see the reaction of all the delusional bastards. I've changed my wishes to them suing the NCAA. They are just stupid enough to do it.
A part of me wants them to sue the NCAA, win the national championship, and the next day get kicked out of the NCAA. There is nothing more Ole Miss than winning a championship that absolutely means nothing. Those stupid ****ers would then hang a banner in the stadium that hosts their NAIA games.

[dawgoneyall]

Ughh. They have spent over 1.5 million on attorney fees already. Pretty sure these idiots have already lawyered up.

That matched the cost of this past recruiting class. Deju all over again.

THIS!!!

Bjork touted their legal fees in an info graphic to explain their "amazing response", as he put it.

They've already lawyered up and firing their while staff and having a rosters half full of walkons is their best case scenario.

[Liverpooldawg]

If they lawyer up it will be on advice of their own ambulance chasers. If they do then their law school needs to be shut down due to sheer incompetence.

[BossDawg]

They have always been an uppity "Do you know who you're dealing with?!" kind of fan base. They're a conflicted bunch and collectively suffer from a superiority complex - it's a coping mechanism because deep down they know they're failures and not important. They want so badly to be the center of the universe, but again, deep down they know they're not so they have to pretend.

[BossDawg]

Ughh. They have spent over 1.5 million on attorney fees already. Pretty sure these idiots have already lawyered up.

Like someone said on another board: they are threatening legal action against an organization tasked with enforcing rules that they AGREED to follow. It shows you how stupid and delusional they are.

[msbulldog]

I really hope the do! In court sworn to tell the truth under the penalty of perjury, the whole truth and nothing but the truth comes out for the whole world to see. Let the games begin big-time fun!

Seriously? Not questioning you - just hadn't heard this. Any details?

[Mjoelner34]

Freezus is already fighting to not have to provide sworn testimony or to keep it sealed from the NCAA. I think that points to Scott McKinney being full of shit as usual.

I don't normally comment on these threads but I'm genuinely interested. Who pays these legal fees? Asked another way, since they are a public institution how much are the tax payers on the hook for as the investigation drags?

I presume that technically the funds aren't coming from the state, but from their athletics foundation (donations, athletic revenues).

But athletic funds that are spent on lawyers means those funds aren't available to transfer to the academic side, and those funds aren't available to buy concrete for their endzone stands.

[AlSwearengen]

Everyone has to remember who we are talking about. Mississippi is my home but it is not a model of success and a lot of the blame can be placed on the olemiss lawyers, judges, and business men.

They see themselves as big shots and shot callers. I, like many others here witness it up close. In my neighborhood (large one), the biggest ass holes that like to run around trying to tell everyone else what to do almost always have an olemiss tag on their car or can be seen wearing olemiss clothing. I'm still waiting to see a State or LSU person in the middle of a commotion. Some of the better comedy is when an olemiss person tries to tell another olemiss person what they should do. This has led to wives talking bad about each other and then getting together and "making up" in the Grove on a game day. Of course, that is only on the surface. They are a special breed.

I think the OM lawyers helped remove from the NOA any allegations that the NCAA couldn't prove and that's why it took so long for the NOA to be released. Other schools' NOAs will include unproven allegations but will then state something like "but this allegation could not be supported with evidence". OMs didn't have that.

In State's 2004 probation a few crazy allegations that Johanningmeier made up were in the NOA. One was that Sherrill had offered to buy a house for a recruit's uncle. That was thrown out and State was not punished for it, but it was still put out there.

If it were not for the OM lawyers I bet OM's NOA would have included things like "allegation that recruits were provided with cash for visiting but there was no evidence to support that allegation."

Posted this in another thread before I saw this one....

The whole suing the NCAA is an irrational defense by the OM flock. There is a 0.0% chance that OM would ever consider suing the NCAA. First, the NCAA is a voluntary membership. You don't have to be in it. Second, making this a legal matter would then mean that everyone has to answer their questions under oath. That ain't something they would want.
