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.

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.

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.

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!
