And then he was suspended for game one. That all said a lot to me.
And I don't mind our players having a social life and having a life away from football. I think that's actually important that they do have a life away from the sport. But it's an issue if it keeps them from doing what they need to do to excel on the field.
All of that is why I am a little harder on him than some on the board.
John Bond hops in Corvette after game in Jackson to go party in Athens = MSU living legend, epitome of 80's baller
Nick Fitz visits girlfriend in offseason = slacker who doesn't care
Nick Fitz - suspended for a meaning less name for unknown rules violation = lacks leadership skills
KT, probable QB starter, rumored since February to be missing multiple games for academic dishonesty = little criticism from board (until Stevens transferred in)
It amazes me sometime how contradictory our fans can be (and Todd - I'm not attributing these other comments to you specifically, just general board opinions over the years)
"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.""
