Re: Chuck is gutless

I’m not a member there but would love to read the article. I’m glad Orgeron kicked our ass for people just like Chuck. That really irritates me that nutless bastard would write something like that. In the last year Chuck and Yancy have proven to be flat out liars.

Re: Chuck is gutless

I will paste the article below.  If it isn't cosher let me know and I will take it down:
"Column: Making Plays Versus Not. . . . There was one certainty coming into the Ole Miss-LSU game Saturday night - the Rebels would have to play their best to come out on top. They didn't.

Ole Miss QB Shea Patterson (Photo: USA TODAY Sports)  There was one certainty coming into the Ole Miss-LSU game Saturday night - the Rebels would have to play their best game of the year to this point to come out on top against the surging Tigers, who were coming off back-to-back wins over Top 25 teams at Florida and at home versus No. 11 Auburn. Despite entering the contest with some confidence and momentum gained against Vanderbilt a week ago, and despite playing extremely hard, the Rebs couldn't get it done. And in not getting it done, the game boiled down to a simple explanation of football - making plays versus not making plays. LSU did and Ole Miss didn't. For the life of them, the Rebel defense could not stop the run and could not keep from getting gashed by the run game. No matter what they did schematically, it was either a missed gap or a missed tackle and LSU TBs Derrius Guice and Darrell Williams took advantage of both, over and over and over. And even when the Rebels seemed to be in position to make a play for a short gain, the Tigers were still managing four, five, six or more yards. The main lingering question was why did LSU ever throw the ball? The way the Tigers were running the ball for most of the game, for them to throw clarified why Ed Orgeron was a Prop 48 coming out of high school. Guice ran over, around and through the Rebel defense. The last time we checked, barely in the fourth quarter, he had 271 yards rushing. If that wasn't enough, Williams gained over 100 yards as well. In all, LSU chalked up 393 yards on the ground on just 55 carries. That's over 7 yards a carries, folks. Guice averaged over 12 yards a tote. Yardage in chunks, again and again. The Rebs worked on the perimeter run game of the Tigers all week long and still could not muster a lot of resistance. Finally, near the end of the third quarter, they simply caved in and a 23-16 LSU advantage,which had the Rebs in striking distance, turned into a 37-16 lead quickly. Game, set, match. Offensively, things were no better.  Early on, the Rebs had a couple of key pass drops by normally reliable receivers and that was all the opening the LSU defense needed. QB Shea Patterson - who injured a knee in the latter stages of the first half - was a paltry, for him, 10-23 with three interceptions.  Like the defense, however, it all came down to making, or not making plays when the opportunities arose. That is such a simplistic narrative, but sometimes the truth is simple. The question is how much credit does LSU need and how much criticism do the Rebs deserve? Well, certainly LSU came into Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and took the fight to the Rebels, to everyone's chagrin who can't stand the sight of the babbling buffoon on the other sideline who struggles with anything over two syllables. They physically worked over the Rebels on both sides of the ball.  From the Rebel standpoint, as we stated earlier, there was plenty of want-to. The effort cannot be denied. The desire was there, but the execution was nowhere near the level it takes to beat a team like LSU.  Yes, we've now seen seven games and realize there are some talent deficiencies, but that does not excuse some of the execution mistakes this team continues to make. From the coaches down, there has to be a lot of frustration and bewilderment as to why that continues to happen, even when giving Guice and company tons of credit. The plays are there to be made. Sometimes the Rebs aren't good enough to make them, but sometimes even when they are capable  enough, they don't execute like a winning team executes. Ole Miss is now 3-4 and the momentum they gained from beating Vandy is in the rearview mirror. Arkansas, who has been a thorn in Ole Miss' side for several years now, is next up. The Razorbacks have proven to be as vulnerable as Ole Miss and the Rebels have them at home. But here's the bottom line - if they don't solve some of their execution issues and don't take advantage of plays that are there to be made, on both sides of the ball, they will be hard-pressed to change the results. Making plays wins games. Not making them, well, doesn't. Simple as two plus two."

Re: Chuck is gutless

The CL went after him because he used Colonel Reb instead of his name and they did not like that. He was dogging the CL because they kept pushing their us playing USM agenda. When the final game with them was played the CL printed stories critical of us for a solid week, which Josh called "weep and wail week."

I subscribed to the Spirit when it first came out so I go way back to the time when Mac Gordon and a guy who called himself "The Eternally Optimistic Col Rebel" (I think he was a lawyer but don't recall his name off the top of my head as he never appeared using his real name) were the main players/writers.  Chuck was there too.  Of the 3 Chuck was always the least critical of the program.  "The Colonel" was my favorite because he pulled no punches.

Col. Rebel was Josh Bogen, a lawyer from Leland. Josh told me that he quit doing the "Col. Rebel" column in the old Spirit because he started getting a lot of criticism and even some threats. He said--as you noted--that he was very frank in his statements and opinions. That did not sit well with some of the Spirit readers of the time.

 


Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach. Woody Hayes

Yep.... He was saying things that needed to be said instead of just carrying water for the administration.  Anybody the CL went after has got to be one of the good guys!  


He was panther quick and Leather tough.
If he figured that He'd been pushed enough.
