WarTim 3,456 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 This is an outrage ! ! ! (Tom Dashel style! ! !) They should be forced to suffer the slings and arrows of their sister school a bit to the east of their campus. No , wait. No fat Memphis linemen nor briefcases full of $$$$$$ were involved ! ! ! ! WAR EAGLE.....O N E at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubb2002 0 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Do you think it's necessary for reporters to still make sure we know that Croom is "the first black coach in the SEC"? I mean come on...Anyone that has even remotely kept up with college football knows that. Why can't they simply refer to him as Coach Croom?

AcctTiger 0 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Maybe they got off a little easy: If they had a winning program, but come on....if you hit this team with heavy sanctions.....you might as well give them the death penalty.......the sanctions they got are going to hurt them while they try to rebuild a program....In there current situation, I think they got a fair shake.......

WarTim 3,456 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I am happy for them that this is over. Coach Croom can now begin to BUILD a program from the ashes. The key to these type situations is that the fan base not have UNREALISTIC expectations. Sound familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUloggerhead 2,227 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Bravo to the NCAA! They are 3 for 3 in bringing appropriate penalties to recent SEC cheater schools. And bravo to KY & MSU for taking their punishment without a whimper of protest. Now that's classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUloggerhead 2,227 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Mr. Sherrill (former uat player -- typical, no?) is no longer a Coach and no longer employed at MSU. He can go pound salt for all I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never had a chance to "offer" not to go to a bowl game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURainman 6 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 NCAA saved MSU because they have Sylvester Croom. I dont doubt it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 146 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 MSU fought these sanctions the whole way...proactively not reactively. Please explain to me how these are repeat violator sanctions. Where's the "extra" penalty? Can you, with a straight face, say the bowl ban was a punishment at all?

Aubie7 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 What an insult to the rest of the teams placed on probation! Those two coaches should hire lawyers and drag this thing out in court for a few years, along with dragging and it's team thru the mud! Why, this is a total travesty of justice!! How dare they place on probation for breaking NCAA rules!! That is outrageous! The coach should fight back also! They need to find out who turned them in and then sue that school or person, because that is what the best schools do! There is no way, with their tradition, that should ever be accused of any wrongdoing! Does the NCAA know who they are messing with here? Outlandish claimsand lies, no one did anything wrong at ! If they did, it's no body's buisness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug2003 1 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Personally, I doubt that MSU was cheating much, if at all, before the arrival of CJS. Like so many of the "Bear Boys" he learned from the master and like Bammer, they got caught. Croom seems like a quality person and he WILL rebuild the MSU program and he will do it (oddly enough) like Bryant. He will have knock-down, drag out practices and let the cream come to the top. Spring will be a boot-camp over there and they will find "some real players." His minority status will help in recruiting eventually and they will field a real team. I predict that this conference is about to get real interesting again, particularly if CSS returns to Fla. Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 146 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Aubie7 and wartim...thanks for answering my question...no seriously, good job! You guys should just post "i hate bama and thats all that matters" in every post. Thats your only defense or response...ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,456 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 And, bg my friend, your every post should read "uat has a lot of injuries and we cheated and got put on probation, but it was UT's fault. IF we did not have all of these injuries, uat would be in the hunt for mnc #2560898786 ! ! !" Unbelieveable, but, typical none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaGrad03 146 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Actually, I argue facts. Please explain to me how this was an increased punsihment (like they said it was) due to MSU's repeat violator status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaGrad03 146 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Again...good answer! Can you not be objective about things that have NOTHING to do with alabama? Does EVERYTHING you comment on have to reflect your hatred for UA? Why not just a simple discussion of MSU's probation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
