College sports... without the power-hungry mods!

This team looks absolutely “Tyndall-esque”…oops…uh oh.
So USM's leadership signed off on it (two have skedaddled), along with the State, the IHL, attys on all sides, and it is Favre's fault?
Do not expect him to go gentle into that good night.
And this is the foundational issue. These transactions are covered up with government process and paper. It passed every one. This was determined two years ago. The buck starts and stops with the state of Mississippi department of human services. But now with the finger pointing in overdrive and the news sensationalism, the Mississippi political witch-hunt/scapegoat machine is operating full blast.
The tune remains the same…
…however the words were changed to “ I’m gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whities I see” (…see Garrett Morris SNL)

I think we are still a year away.
It must have been less than $2M. The article indicates that I wrote this on Twitter. I wonder if USM had the goods on CUSA since Bill McCLellan was pretty much involved in the creation. USM was also the last remaining all sports member. UAB did not have football until later. It made me wonder if USM got off much cheaper than Marshall and ODU. If it did, the others may push for the same deal.
Ace...
Rodney and Jeremy spent the money upfront on legal opinion, strategy, and positioning. By the time we told Judy we were gone, everything after that was a foregone conclusion. Rodney was key in getting this done. When Jeremy asked for money, Rodney already had it lined up. I am very impressed…this entire process was very well played by our administration.
I, for one, think we are going to miss Rodney very much. I shudder to think who our inept college board will shove up our ass this next time.
The Dixie Darling re-naming issue blew up in Rodney’s face big time. He chose the wrong battle with this initiative and very quickly dropped it. Some very wealthy oil and gas donors out of Texas just happened to be married to former DD’s and quashed any discussion about re-naming.
UGA is a shithole
UGA students are shitheads
UGA fans are shiteaters
“Nothing good ever came out of Georgia”
The timing of our official announcement to leave will be based on the CUSA bylaws governing this issue. We will not announce until we are well within the timeline where the tournament cannot be pulled.
We will be in the Belt next year. Final scheduling contracts are all that is being settled. Legal issues are settled. LaTech is playing the role of whiny ass titty babies but the rest of what’s left of that worthless conference is ready to get on with it.
Think “why do they get to host the baseball championship when those poopyheads are leaving us”….boo hoo hoo.
Good fucking riddance….SMTTT
So when we are in a conference with App State and James Madison….and you attend a football game at their stadium…and they invite you to play cornhole during pregame festivities….DON’T…they have a different way of looking at things…just saying.
LaTech ain’t going with us…refused to be in the same conference as ULM…not SoMiss…we ain’t got no pride…bring on the gumbo and SWAC premium entertainment.
I kid…I kid…this is the best (only) move for us. I do hate that Tech won’t be going as they are a good rival. However we renew our best historic geographic rivalry in ULL.
But…but…just damn…this is a long way from the days when Slive was commissioner…when we were relevant…<sigh>…fuck.
Fuck ole miss…fuck state…fuck the college board…shit fuck hell damn turd…there, I feel better.
SMTTT
Dear AAC,
You can just suck my big ole wiener.
Love, Judy
Happy Homecoming.
Um…who is the mature representative on the left…at my age I think she is kinda hot
My 92 year old mother in law thinks he’s cute as a button. I actually told him this in front of Jeremy and Brian and he turned red as a stop sign. Now if he can just coach offense……
Bennett had about a thousand angry old white ex DDs call him and threatened to take away all support if they changed the name. He caved.
Plus 4 very wealthy oil and gas people who are married to former DD’s.
Football coach??? I said I was applying for women’s softball coach.
PT Barnum was right…there is a sucker born every minute…and I saw one in the mirror this morning.
I hope our toddlers at least got their orange slices and medallions before the drive back to Hattiesburg.
I believe the only outcome will be to accept an invite to an evolving SunBelt conference. The SunBelt leadership is at least proving to be innovative and proactive, unlike the shitshow that is CUSA.
Tough decision now…….do I watch USM get waxed by La Tech in game 2 to complete the Triple T or……..take an at home colonoscopy kit from Cologuard………decisions, decisions…….
Take the colonoscopy….you will feel better.
