Rosebowl gets political...

[Turfdawg67]

Well ... maybe some of us. I think it's pretty much an atrocity.

You are in the minority.

I think the only reason they haven't let Freeze go at this point is their own greed. They are trying to get the previous classes of players stuck through spring training and into the summer before they find out how bad it is. Thus sticking those kids with hard decisions to make and fewer options at that time. Basically trying to get more bang for their buck. They lied when they signed, and I'm sure they've tried pushing some us vs the world agenda.
Freeze was a hired puppet, with that "gollee bill" persona to try to pass off the Network's agenda. He was a dead man walking when he was hired.

I think the backup plan was to try and stockpile as many 4 and 5 star players they could for as many recruiting cycles they could. They were trying to outlast the sanctions and still have some talent. That's a fart in the wind now. That football program is about to be nuked from orbit. They will be lucky to be relevant in college FB 20 years from now.

If there are fraud charges against OM or people surrounding their program that would likely provide depositions and more cover for the NCAA to go ahead and fully nuke their program. I hope the SEC votes to kick them out as well.

They are about to become the University of Kansas - football program. If there are legal avenues to be dealt with, those will evolve after the sanctions are announced. The effect of that process on top of the sanctions will stretch their being viewed as dirty even longer. Hard to recover in the SEC when every decent recruit sees you as a risk.

[Todd4State]

Why are some people surprised that they haven't fired Freeze yet? The penalties haven't come down yet and their whole mantra right now is it's not going to be that bad. It's hard to sell that to recruits when you fire the coach before the sanctions are announced.

On top of that if the timeline for this is correct and I have no reason to believe it isn't I fully expect Ole Miss to appeal the sanctions once they are handed down in August. I imagine that process would get him through this season albeit with a huge cloud over their head. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about that- I'm not a NCAA expert.

Plus who is going to take that job if they fire Freeze now with the penalties an unknown? Besides Bobby Hall?

for the Mississippi job

[Indndawg]

I think they just want to finish the academic/athletic years and the hurricane hits this summer.

They think bad news will hurt BB attendance and its about all they got now. Also, they want to get as many butts in seats at the gay-ass Grove Bowl..collect their $$$

[Dawgbite]

for the Mississippi job

While I agree 100% about Bobby, Will was nothing like his daddy. He may have changed but Will used to be the total opposite of him.

[louisvilledawg]

And just like Bruce Willis, Hugh Freeze doesn't know he's dead.

[Dawgology]

This is what I don't get.

If they have a letter and it's "catastrophic" how is Hugh not fired? What do they gain by not firing him now if they know it's so bad? If they think they will have to later, why not now, not only to hope it lessens the penalties, but also to have a coach take over before spring ball.

This is what concerns me, if all being said here is to be believed, how is Hugh still employed?

To the rescuuuuuueeeee!!!!

I have thought this all along....along with changing “dogs” to “dawgs”....

[beretta]

You are in the minority.

I think its an atrocity as well.....along with the 'woo damn right'....

[TheDawgBiscuit]

It?s a classic tale of money and greed and corruption, and the firing of Dr. Daniel W. Jones was only the first act"
[/I][/INDENT]

Me thinks Musgrove knows something... anyone notice how weird it is that a article titled "Something Rotten in Oxford(Mississippi)" has a headline photo with Musgrove and Keenum standing behind a Mississippi State backdrop?

Thats Dan Jones with Keenum not Musgrove.

[Political Hack]

Ain't nobody gonna take that job not knowing what's coming.

You realize you just answered your own question.

I can see this happening big time.

Yeah, I agree with that too. It's just too much trouble to change it after all this time.

[Reunion Dog]

just remember the man who was one of 1st Pioneer's of the Internet (Netscape) and has an educational fund named after him based in Oxford... and also remember when They got rid of the old Chancellor... the Head of Institution of Higher Learning... up and quit... and went to Nebraska.... and all the issues @ UMC..... Lots of other things involved in this case..
