So....let?s say Jackie wins this lawsuit.
Would that set the case law for all other coaches and boosters (later not named in the infractions report) to file suit as well?
I looked at the article. I love that picture of Jackie. I still miss his fire when we played teams like Alabama. We haven’t had that since. Dans balls shriveled up inside him when we played Bama.
Mullen showed plenty of fire at times. The most common image of Sherrill was him standing stoically on the sideline writing on his clipboard, it's not like he was running up and down the sideline.Quote:

JWS proved you can win at MSU. He did it on game one in 1991 when we beat nationally ranked Texas at Scott Field on national TV and he never let up.Quote:

Judge states he wants everyone on roller skates, ready to move fast. This 3 year witch hunt helped ruin our recruiting and Jackie's last three years. Hail Jackie! Hail State!
I was in the jury pool. Rick Cleveland was NOT picked. A guy in a State jacket was not picked, that is true. Also, an older gentleman who had on a black MSU baseball hat, and MSU belt was not picked either. I was not picked either. A lot of questions about whether you are a State fan or Ole Miss fan. I mentioned that i had a picture taken with my daughter and the King about 18 years ago, and i think that was it for me. Picking the jurors took from 8;30 till 3pm. Jackie looked sharp as usual. Took copious amount of notes. Hope he gets justice.Quote:

I was in the jury pool once, he fought like hell to keep me off, but I wound up voting for his client. Pissed some of my lawyer friends off, but I had no reason not to vote for what I thought was right. It was kinda a david and Goliath trial and I voted for David.
I guarantee he will make it interesting.
Was the judge allowing jurors to be struck for cause just for being a state fan or ole miss fan?Quote:

Jackie wasn't around much when things started going downhill, family problems, brother dying act. If you remember he couldn't call players by their name only numbers, he would mainly show up and read the game plan before coaching the games.
But boy did he give us a ride when things were going good.
When he first got here, I actually bought an rv to follow him to a national championship, but we did get to atlanta and came a split second when we missed a tackle or would have been sec champs.
He’s still the King of MSU football.Quote:

Just was pointing out why things went south, and maybe his problems were too much for him to handle.
First, what is your reason for the insult? I didn't forget anything but you must not have followed MSU football very long. No one said he was MSU Saban.Quote:

Rocky Felker begs to differ.Quote:
