Rumor.......maybe

I think it is safe to say that olemiss is outbidding everyone else. Tunsil didn't go to olemiss because he liked them more than Georgia or he wanted to play with nkemdiche.

Why would treadwell go to olemiss when they had zero to show him as far as what their offense was going to be like and how successful they would be getting him the ball?

No doubt UNM has to be paying well above market. They have to be in order to get some of these out of state elite recruits they are hauling in. Does anyone really think that guys like Treadwell, Tunsil, Little, RobertK etc. grew up dreaming of playing on the Plantation?

Not a chance, and I don't think Tunsil even visited UMiss before committing did he? That or he only visited once.

I remember that as stupid as that was. We win the NC and have a Heisman trophy winner if Cam had gone to State. It's scary how similar Auburn and our team was that year with the only difference is they had Cam and we didn't.

You're right on your assessment of MSU and Auburn that year. But If we would have come close to the NC game that year, we'd just now be coming off probation. No way Auburn or Tennessee would let MSU go that far with Scam and not suffer for it. Now if Bama or someone else would have done it nothing would have been said but this wouldn't have been the case for the maroon and white. You can bet the big boys would have put us in our place and the NCAA would have been more than glad to see that it got done.

I only mention Tennessee because they were the ones that initiated the pay for play with the Newtons. Bama didn't recruit Scam, just referenced Bama to make a point.

As for Cam being a can't miss recruit, Absolutely he was a Can't Miss Recruit....if you knew and saw what he did in high school - you knew. Then if you saw what he did at Blinn - you really knew.

The Albert Means deal was going to bring $250,000 to his coach. No telling what benefits would be extended to Means himself, and that was years ago.

Bama paid a price for that. The $ figure was outstanding at the time, so I can imagine that being the going rate these days. Newton's preacher daddy wanted $180,000 for 1-2 years as a rented mule.

If Saban was Steve Spurrier he'd call Freeze out on this extravagance, and heads might finally role.

[Blackout]

If we actually had any cunning cutthroat people not the sissy Jeb Bush losers we would have a croot and/or parents wear a wire and expose it.

Get a handful like those Planned Parenthood videos and release one a week. Get ESPN and everyone else ready for the next shoe to drop.

But no, we are the Jeb Bush loser class Virgina Slims and will be kept in our rightful place until that changes. Hell weakness and incompetence is a virus through the whole football program from the money people to the game plans. ****ing Bracky Brett scares everyone like Mullen gets scared of Freeze and Saban.

I'm so sick of this loser bullshit.

I wouldn't contribute shit, without it being tax deductible. I just wonder how they raise that much cash, there has to be a paper trail somewhere, They identify the contributors and I guarantee there would be one. However, the NCAA doesn't have the power to do that kind of investigation.

Yes, there is certainly some type of money/paper trail but the NCAA doesn't have the subpoena power to get to the records to track it down. Remember the whole big issue when the NCAA was trying to get the Sidney's family bank records and they wouldn't give them over.

Tunsil never visited Mississppi.....the day Tunsil signed he was asked where Mississippi came from, you never mentioned them until 3 weeks ago. Did you get a chance to take a visit to campus? Remember him replying to the question something like this, No, I didn't visit but got to know and build a real strong relationship with Coach Kiffin over the phone and on Facebook. He's gotten to be good friends with me and my girlfriend on Facebook. That guy's a trip!

Give me a Fing break......They don't show up until 3 weeks before signing day, you don't take a visit to campus, been recruited by UGA/Bama for well over a year...maybe closer to two years with UGA and you're taking your ass to Oxford, MS??? Why can't I Fing work for the NCAA??? Don't want to retire from there, give me just long enough to pull a Sherman on their ass.

Back to the original post, I'm not buying Saban is pissed. Hell they've got the #1 OT and Cam Robinson is back next year.

[Spiderman]

Bama is the only team that i can think of that has actually been proven to have paid $150k for a player and that was 15 yrs ago. With inflation, what must they be paying now. OM can only afford to pay a couple of guys per year that much. Bama has the money to buy them all. Then they get pissed when they don't get one? Screw them.

Alcoholic and drug addicted tobacco and ambulance chasing lawyers have the money and the judge bribing history to buy what they want.

I wonder Forward Rebels is a non profit that can take tax deductible contributions.

Massie...part 2

[MabenMaroon]

If myself or somebody I knew had any kind of concrete info that could hurt UNM, Bama or anybody else on the cheating end of this scene, I would not bother with the bunch of weenie, diaper clad, fresh out of on-line law school wannabe attorneys and investigators at the NCAA. I would push the info to the IRS, the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security and let them do with it what they may. It was those type of agencies that eventually brought down Capone, Gotti and many of the other nefarious characters of our domestic history. I believe that would be good practice for one of those agency's interns, they love tracking money laundering, tax evasion and the passing off of undocumented large sums of cash. Then you wouldn't be looking at ***** NCAA probations, they would be looking at prison terms, serious fines and the loss of professional licenses and permits. That would be the kind of action I would like to see come down. ( we are allowed to dream aren't we? ... or maybe there might be something to the idea )

[EnterpriseDawg]

Do we even have the donors to play the game?

[Westdawg]

I know. Its like our fans dont watch these specials on Da U or on SMU and put 2 + 2 together. These were the schools that were just so brazen about it that they got caught. Do people really think Albert Means was the 1st and only DL player that Bama ever paid 200K to? Why did they just suddenly decide to spend so much on Means if none of this other stuff is true??? And that was 20 years ago

Has it really been 20 years since Means was at Trezevant?? Dang, my years are starting to blur together.

[lastmajordog]

"Back to the original post, I'm not buying Saban is pissed" If Saban keeps losing to UNM I bet he will start.

Alcoholic and drug addicted tobacco and ambulance chasing lawyers have the money and the judge bribing history to buy what they want." Truth!!

" I would push the info to the IRS, the Justice Department" Brilliant!!

[RealHastings]

I'm sick of their bullshit. How is it possible for those 17cks to get away with this shit when noone else can? I know Bama pays players, Auburn pays players, among others; but how is it that those pieces of shit take it to a whole nother level and get away with it? IT is mutha17coming. That's all I've heard. When? I'm sick of this. There has got to be something we can do to stop those elitist, entitled pieces of shit.

Certainly a question worth asking.

The Virginia Slims

They want to think they are so sneaky and important they do the smallest thing and then feel the need to blab and gossip like they're in the 7th ****ing grade. We are so far behind everyone else it's not even funny.

The small thinking insider class we currently have cannot even comprehend what we are saying here. They are so out of touch. The Jeb Bush class, losers that just don't get it. Reminds me of the Braveheart scene where Mel is seeing the glorious big picture and the others are arguing over Longshanks scraps. Ole Miss is Longshanks. We are Braveheart. The Virginia Slims are the petty weak clan leaders.
