the ncaa is going to get it's flesh from Ole Miss. even if we are guilty of something, it is no different than what every program does. the issue is the ncaa decides when they are going to enforce it and whom they are going to get. That is why they set up shop for as long as they did because they were going to walk away with something. I think, the ncaa simply wanted more and by luck and ignorance on the part of some, was able to either manufacture or make up the Leo crap to get what they wanted.
the issue is, what happened to freeze. I think we had several high profile defensive recruits stolen from us and it is why our defense is struggling to keep up. Freeze also developed the appetite for the extra marital stuff. he then probably got hooked on how easy it is to go on trips, set up booty calls, get in, get out and move on.
the problem is it got to him at some point because between the ncaa witch hunt and then the fact he plays the holy roller on twitter while cheating on his wife
With all that being said, Ole Miss is the damndest thing. Seriously, we are truly are a different animal in terms of the potential we have as a school/program but can find monumental ways of self destructing. It is a sight to behold. It is impressive how far our pendulum swings and how fast it can swing.
I posted this a few days ago but I will repost it again with a little more something to add. That is, we truly need to pray for this program and the fans. Seriously. I am tired of the massive ups and downs. I am tired of what seems to be the collective world so ready and willing to trash our program. To be honest, I remember praying during games to help our team overcome what ever issue they were facing and either come back or hang on to win. Seems like every time I did that, they would find new ways to disappoint. thing is, failure is not punishment a lot of times. Sometimes God puts failure in your path to help prepare you for much bigger things. I think we need more prayer for this program and more perseverance and know that if we keep working, we will get where we need and want to be. But it will also require continued vigilance of doing things right.
Maybe today is payback for things we do that other teams don't do. Maybe freeze brought us down because of his failures and we ignored it. Who knows. But sometimes, when you want something bigger than you can control, the moment you give up on the prideful ways and hand if over to God, mountains get moved. Just pray for this team and program and mean it, i bet awesome things will happen soon

Magnificent post! One of the best that I’ve ever read.

I think God is all for us enjoying different forms of entertainment as long as it's not immoral and we don't make it an idol. When we start praying about turning the program around/winning games, I think that is a good sign that it has turned into an idol.

Excellent points made by all, great conversation. Thank you for your input, please continue. If nothing else, this can help us sort out our feelings without it spilling over and our spouses and families having to deal with it. LOL

No one is saying we pray to Colreb
We pray to God for our program, no different than when you pray for mercy or favor for anyone or anything else
