    Steve said on boneyard it's going to take at least 2 years to get back to full numbers.

    Crazy that Leach was able to find dudes who meet his requirements in a state with legal weed and find disciplined players out on the west coast and now we have guys quitting because he's too tough on them.

    It's not that simple. Leach didn't recruit these players. Leach hasn't really formed relationships with most of these players. We haven't lost 18 players b/c Leach is being too tough on them. There are a variety of reasons.

    The mod team needs to change the thread title. If we don't have enough players, the game is postponed, not forfeited. We didn't forfeit to Auburn.

    I am all for players following rules, but to legitimately kick players off the team for failing a drug test just for pot is ridiculous if that?s really true. I will hold off on commenting further until it?s discovered if that is a true fact or not, but if it is Leach is just digging himself a bigger hole

    I can't believe 78 out of 80 football players on an SEC team have not smoked weed since August, or whenever drug testing started under Leach (do they test in the summer?). If that's true, kudos to our players because that would be way more compliance than most major programs.

    I don't know if it's true either, but if they were told ahead of time what would happen after a positive test, they have no leg to stand on.

    I kind of have a feeling the rule will be relaxed a little this year. Isn't that an SEC rule?

    If we don't have enough players we can't play any games so we have to forfeit. Rumors swirling around that we won't travel tomorrow if we get one positive test

    Button down shirts
    Neat hair - crew cuts were the norm when I was a kid
    No drinking until 18 (beer)
    No DOPE at all of any kind - not only would it disqualify you from sports but it would get you expelled from school as well
    Poor grades (less than a C average) disqualified you from extracurricular activities
    etc.
    I miss those days also. Many think that "kids have changed". The truth is that kids haven't changed. Instead our expectations of them have changed. We don't demand as much. We don't expect as much. We don't force them to achieve as much.

    Oh Perfect, if they can't pass test 1, reduce the standard and if they can't pass test 2 then reduce the standard again and if they can't pass test 3 reduce the standard again until anyone barely breathing can pass it.

    What a joke, do we not strive to be all we can be anymore, or do we just settle for the lowest common denominator in human behavior? We will soon be a nation of do nothings, a people that do not accept responsibility or have any inkling of what it means!

    anyone know the story on this ? ...... I don't even know the guy
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    Not correct. It will not be a forfeit. The game would be rescheduled to 12/19 or canceled if Georgia is playing in the SECCG that day.

    It's also possible there is a larger schedule redoing to put the game on a different day, but it will never go down as a forfeit for us. Not a single game in all of college football this year affected by COVID has been forfeited.

    His Dad is the commissioner of the Big 10. Is a JR, hasn't seen the field this year; only got on the field once last year.
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    Your not understanding. We won't have enough players to make a game let alone a make up game. I know about the dates. It has nothing to do with dates it's about we won't have the players to meet the requirements to play the games.... not hard to understand

    Not true. But not far away either. We've got 60 players still. Injuries or opt outs could still get us, but we aren't there yet.

    Even if we can never make it up, it will NOT be a forfeit. There have been and will be 0 COVID-related college football forfeits, even with some games permanently canceled.

    Wisconsin is 2-0, not 2-2.

    Converted to WR from tight end. I bet all those guys go before it's over.
