It’s Time To Shut Ole Miss Football Down After This Sports Illustrated Report

Ole Miss Football

In what has to be the least surprising announcement of the year, the ongoing investigation into the admitted benefits received by Laremy “Gas Mask” Tunsil while at the University of Mississippi has expanded to players outside of the new Miami Dolphin.

From Sports Illustrated:

According to the report, the NCAA visited Auburn and Mississippi State and possibly one more SEC West school this summer to speak with players who were recruited by Ole Miss.

Those recruited players were granted immunity from potential NCAA punishment if they were truthful in their interviews.

What’s most comical about this is how humiliatingly long it took the NCAA to lift a finger, while in the past annihilating SMU for essentially the same antics, penalizing Michigan for stretching for too long, demolishing Ohio State for selling team memorabilia on eBay, and lashing out at a litany of unpaid college kids for signing autographs with petty cash handshakes. It’s fucking pathetic, both administratively and practically.

Stevie Wonder saw years ago that the Rebels and Coach Hugh Freeze were cheaters. Freeze, who replaced Houston Nutt after a stellar 2-10 season, was, at the time, just four years removed from being blindsided by the real life Sandra Bullock as a high school coach, and just a year removed from coaching something called “Lambuth.” Yet, this seemingly uninspiring hire managed to secure the three greatest recruiting classes in the history of the program — all coming off of a pathetic season, more than five decades since their last conference championship, and with a new head man nobody had ever heard of. Right, that seems squeaky clean.

But don’t worry, Rebels fans. Your program last won the SEC when JFK was still breathing, and your history books read: “Manning I, Manning II, wow, Deuce McAllister has a ton of children.” Your school’s academics are perhaps the black sheep of college football’s worst scholastic conference, and the state in which your campus resides is statistically America’s grandest combination of poverty, illiteracy, homelessness, and discontent.

Sounds like a wonderful place to be, I’m sure you’ll bounce back. Hopefully this time you won’t misspell $cholarship again. Fucking illiterates.

    “Your school’s academics are perhaps the black sheep of college football’s worst scholastic conference, and the state in which your campus resides is statistically America’s grandest combination of poverty, illiteracy, homelessness, and discontent.”

    A quick check of US news and World Report shows that we’re ranked above Mississippi State. We may be ranked above other SEC schools, I didn’t check because I knew we’d be above State. We actually have LITERALLY the lowest rate of homelessness in the nation. Discontent is not a real measure, so I’m not even going to address that. We are the poorest and most illiterate state. I’d argue that the average is brought down a great deal by the delta, which is not where Ole Miss is located. Oxford actually has great public schools and a good deal of money.

    You clearly had an emotional response to this news, and had a field day making shit up and trashing Mississippi because you could. This article comes off as extremely uninformed, even for TFM’s journalistic standards. I have some harsh news for you: every large program cheats. I don’t know what your team is, but I’d bet money they cheat as well. Furthermore, this isn’t proof of anything. You have no idea what these athletes said. The only thing I learned by reading this was how butt-hurt you are about another team’s success.

      ^^”but I’d bet money they cheat as well” implies that you know full heartedly that Ole Miss cheats. You also gave a perfect scapegoat for half the above facts which are true. HOLY FUCKING SHIT, this guy reads Washington Post! I bet Ole Miss thinks that’s a credible source for major papers, right behind wikipedia. You sir, are not only dumb, but also stupid. And the shockingly depressing thing about that is you are probably graduating with honors from Ole Miss.

      For the record, the only teams that cheat are the ones who get caught, case in point, Ole Miss. Also, you gross over-emotional reaction to a satirical article that’s written for the soul purpose of entertainment (which it was) and a secondary purposes of only being semi factual (notice he doesn’t cite anything that isn’t cold hard fact) means you actually believe this to be the holy word of God.

      You sir, can garggle on my nutsack and wash the taste out with a hefty glass of bleach.
      Good day.

    Nowhere in this article does it actually state what Ole Miss did. This is pure speculation
