Rocky is a MSU Alum. He would have been back frequently even if he had not been hired onto the staff.Quote:

Has to have shelves for all of his "clown" memorabilia...?.Some here will remember the SI article from the 90's that showed him dressed in his full clown costume and all of his clown figurines in the background...?
I would make him an analyst in charge of scouting Alabama and Mississippi.Quote:

I've seen the full clown outfit in person. He goes all out and doesn't break character. Not sure if he still does it since the movie "It" came out though.Quote:

That was the highest any college football coach had ever been paid, obscene money. That’s how tarnished his star was.Quote:

Athletic fundraiser. Who among us would not write a check if asked by The King himself? I’m serious. Jackie could raise a pile of money
Slight Hijack: Not about the trial but about Jackie.
I used to see him a lot on the weekends during football season at the Veranda. One night as he and Peggy were leaving, I was out on the veranda at the Veranda and I told him I had a couple of questions for him. I asked him when A&M joined the SEC was he going to root for us in Starkville and them when we played in Texas (even though the administration hated him, their fans still loved him). Before he could answer, Peggy said "Hell no! We're ALL Dog!" Jackie just grinned and pointed at her over his shoulder with his thumb and said "What she said." Secondly I asked him about his pre-season predictions he'd make then seal in an envelope. I asked how close he came to guessing the actual record. "Believe it or not, pretty close. Now I'm not going to tell you I got all of the games right but I usually got the win loss total or was only off by one. Sometimes we'd win one I counted as a loss and lose one I counted as a win."
Hope one of you , savvy types will post the trial testimony asap. Hail the one and only Kang Jackie! Wonder where we would have been back then without this witch hunt. Virtually every time we really got good in my MSU football life, UM and the crooked NCAA did everything possible to "keep us in our place", the Tyler years and the end of the Kang's years. We should appeal to the NCAA to have our 19 forfeits under Tyler returned to our record as the victories they are. Hail State!
Today reminded me how much I hate UM.... thank goodness Jackie finally got his day.
Peggy Sherrill is a gem! She's quite the lady and she is ALL Dawg!Quote:

WOW! That's almost unreal. I can't remember ever seeing a lawsuit that lasted that long.
Over the years, I had always assumed that the story regarding the “working relationship” between the NCAA investigator and the female Ole Miss booster was an urban legend of sorts. Clearly, my assumption was incorrect.
I haven't seen this posted yet.
Rosebowl was on Bo this am and he said the testimony against the NCAA was devastating. The first day was bad but the second day was the NCAA's ass on a silver platter. They were begging for a settlement before day two was even over.
