Fanblogs Open Conference Championship Thread
Par for the course...I'm sure Khayat & Boone are realllllly pleased to hear this news, right after he & Coaching SuperAgent Jimmy $exton shook them down with some Auburn rumors to get a new extension...
It is hard to leave 5 stars dangling out there for a program that doesn't get many shots at them so I think we should ease up on Nutt. If the girl had been alive he probably would still be playing for Urban.
Short of stealing a dead woman's identity, or dealing crack out of the Stadium Parking Lot, if you've got a pulse, you're eligible.
It's definitely worked for them...
I'll be waiting with baited breath as you forward a similiarly worded message to the family of Ronald Goldman, as well...I'm sure they'll truly be inspired by your message of hope & change for the future...
If that guy wants to positively impact the future of this world, or his life, he can go start volunteering in his community anytime he wants. Join a church outreach program...Doing community service-that he's NOT required to do by law as a result of any legal transgressions.
I find it odd that you'd think his only route for having a positive impact in society is playing collegiate football again...
Sort've a sad commentary on your opinion of his worth as a human...
She just found out she got let go from her waitressing job, and I helped her apply at a Home Depot subsidiary-online-while we were at Starbucks, using my laptop...We also e-mailed an attached copy of her cover letter & resume in .doc format...
We then helped her apply for a Christmas position at the local Bass Pro Shops in my hometown, just to try to get her hired somewhere quick to get some cashflow.
This was AFTER I got off at 7:15, went and picked up my heart medication, and went to get my laptop at home, leaving dinner on the table, to go back up there...
THEN I realized Starbucks doesn't have free Wi-Fi, so I had to buy a coffee for $4.15, then pay $3.99 for a 2-hour block of Wi-Fi, which I didn't get to use since they closed on us...
Don't you DARE cast a stone at me...
As a member of society, it was cast at me...
Nutt is serving his own interests by doing what he's done...and you obviously have no knowledge of his modus operandi when he was the coach at Arkansas...
Recruits he bought into the city were responsible for federal drug rings having to be brought in to stop dealing operations out of player's homes...
I have seen Houston Nutt's act before, and I've seen this man's acts as a human being, and neither one of them are as gilded as you make out to be.
Feel free to disagree with me, but personal shots or innuendo that I don't help my fellow man strike to my cold, withered heart, and they elicit a strong, vociferous, and typically vitriolic reaction...
If he DOES make it to the NFL, then what are the chances he joins the long line of criminal embarrassments the NFL is currently enduring? This stuff is bred at the high school and college level, it doesn't just all-of-a-sudden show up once these young men reach the NFL and suddenly have $8 million in their bank accounts.
Accountability for one's actions is a must in a civilized society. And while I too hope that prison is not a part of the young man's future, treating him with kid gloves and a bleeding heart goes further toward that end result. As has been noted a zillion times, these young men need to be taught and understand that playing football at the collegiate (and professional) level is a privilege, not a right. And like any privilege, with abuse - it can be taken away.
But then, I understand that I'm a hardass like that.
If the young man really did what is being reported, then he should not be allowed a position on any team. PERIOD. It is not a coaches responsibility to keep him or anyone like him out of the "Florida Penal System" by continuing to sanction this type of behavior. It is, however, their responsibility to represent the university and society in general.
It's utterly disgusting we have coaches (and players) like this. Regardless of their coaching abilities, I have no respect for them.
Don't judge, just sit back and see what happens.
As to giving him another chance, he's apparently had them.
Are you giving back? Or are you just preaching from a soapbox?
I work PRO BONO putting people back to work, everday...I have pulled folks credit and worked with them to improve their lots in life, whether through financial counseling or credit rehabilitation-FREE OF CHARGE-for YEARS...
I find it mind-boggling that you'd try to store-front preach to me with some sense of righteous indignation...
You know NOTHING of me, and for you to judge what I do or don't do compared to Houston Nutt is laughable...
I find it fantastically amazing that you keep going with this, making assumption after assumption about me or our collective upbringing...
Unbelievable...
I pray for your loss...
This man needs to find his own way, and look to something other than Football...Him being glorified and having his transgressions forgotten about isn't the answer...
There are millions of other avenues he could pursue...MILLIONS...
Receiving a SECOND extremely valuable academic scholarship at a school like the University of Mississippi, while being allowed free health care, free room and board, free books, tuition, tutoring, academic support...While also allowing himself to work towards athletic accomplishment...
I don't agree with it...
His actions have not been properly punished, and he has already been forgiven...and rewarded again...
I find it repugnant that his prowess as an athlete and his physical talent are enough to excuse his behaviours and wash that stain off of him in some folks eyes.
Repugnant.
And you've put your finger on both the problem and solution. We should hold these men accountable for their actions instead of giving them special treatment, much of it free.
Hopefully, the Right-Revrend will get him straightened out
It'd help if you commented less from a fan of the school where the coach in question is employed, and more from a perspective of "Houston Nutt brings thugs into his program who win football games and sully his institution's reputation at the same time."
Go look up his history...and come back and talk about Ole Miss...
[Insert pithy comeback about, "Aww...Ya'llz LSWho fanzzees iz just Yuuuptyyyight aboutst dat beatin' weez laid on ya'lllll in Tigre Stajum a month back!"]
31-13
(insert impression of Nutt's pimp hand across Miles' face after taking a knee on the one yeard with a minute left, instead of making the score reflect just how bad it was)
Silly me, I was talking about your coach's propensity to take garbage players who can't even pass basic literacy tests, like Jerrel Powe, or an absolute life failure who happens to be a 5* caliber Safety, both at his former locale, and at his current job, from the looks of it after this story's broken...
I didn't realize you didn't have anything substantive to add to the conversation everyone else's having about this absolute joke of a move by your head coach...
Houston Nutt, the Al Davis of the SEC...
Just win, Baby...
(RebelNutt24...That's called a setup...I goaded you into talking about the game so I could point out it has nothing to do with my opinion, or the subject matter...Knowing that you would. Congrats on the win. Sorry about your poor reading comprehension skills...Try to stay on topic, from here on out.)
Michael Oher has a similar story, and very inspiring. Let's not blow it up anymore.
RebelNutt, don't egg it on.
He's a GREAT story. Really did alot for Ole Miss and himself and i'll be following him throughout his NFL career.
Jerrel Powe (funny wasn't he commited to LSU at one point) had been recruited since cutcliff was the coach, and as in your all knowing tiger perspective- Houston Devil Nutt was the only one who cheated enough to get him eligible, you may be under the impression, he is going to college for free to play football and get an education but maybe some of these kids really dont have MILLIONS of avenues to take in their life.....chances of Jerrel powe graduating with a degree good enough to get him a high paying job are very low... chances of jerrel powe dominating SEC offensive linemen for the next 2 or 3 years and going to get a really high paying job are substantialy higher....
this kid however, maybe future bad a$$, has not even signed with ole miss, just comitted, nor has he even graduated from JUCO, who knows maybe he could decommit and commit to LSU, where MIles would give him at least 3 strikes (google Ryan Periloux), i know you think Miles is such a disiplinarian for kicking him off the team but seriously he gave him how many chances?..... just look at the situation from a non bias perspective as you asked me to do
i get it, stealing dead girl's credit cards is definitly not cool, but niether is being a hypocrite
Ryan Perrilloux tried to get into a casino with a fake ID.
Your guy stole a dead girl's credit card.
Ryan Perrilloux passed a fake $20 at a gas station in his hometown, and got leaned on by the feds to make sure it wasn't just his dumb@ss brother (Who let him borrow his ID to get onto the boat) who was the "mastermind" behind some larger counterfeit ring.
Your guy stole a dead girl's credit card.
Ryan Perrilloux was caught up in the aftermath of a fight in a bar, and I'm almost 99.44% positive he was a part of it starting.
Your guy stole a dead girl's credit card.
Ryan Perrilloux pulled some bullsh!t with a restaurant after they closed the bar, and he also missed some classes, and we 86'd his sorry @ss...
Your guy stole a dead girl's credit card, and went around using it...
He also got busted up in a barfight, got arrested, put on probie, and THEN stole the dead girl's credit card, and used it-REPEATEDLY...
Yeah...I'd say those two situations are COMPLETELY ANALAGOUS...
LOL...
People please dont make fun of LSU fans, its not nice to pick on retards
You mentioned him specifically...
I goaded you about something that had nothing to do what I was talking about...and you did it-literally-even after I said that's exactly what you'd do...and it had nothing to do with my point I was making...
You were talking about comparative levels of discipline, and then tried to take a shot at Miles...your entire point was based on that...
I responded completely on topic...
You responded completely off topic...
You aren't making much sense, here...
What i'm trying to say is let's talk some X's and O's instead of morals, values and other things that make me feel guilty......
I'm not for a one topic only clause and would be comfortable discussing most anything. But as passionate as we are as college football fans I can see things getting out of hand when we venture into other areas of importance to us. So call me a realist but that's how I feel.
UT vs tOSU
tOSU has been in alot of big games and are going to go into the Feista game teed off and looking for redemtion in the national spotlight. That great team from the Buckeye State has its team ready to go and give it all on the feild of play and coach Tressle and his staff have desighned a brilliant gameplan for victory. The Longhorns have had a great 11 and 1 regular season are looking foward to the challenge of facing the Mighty Buckeyes who are 1-1 against the Horns. The Longhorns are 3-1 vs Big10/11 opponents the last few years with their only loss against tOSU.
Hookem-Horns
I'm glad the Buckeye's got matched up against Texas. I think it's going to be a close game, and win or lose be a good springboard into next year, for both teams. I'm hoping Tressel breaks out something we haven't seen before with Pryor, maybe a triple option. I think if Ohio St. plays too much zone instead of man to man, McCoy will pick them apart.
Like I said, it should be a close good game. I like the matchup, and both teams should start out in the top five next year and I think this game will speak to that.
MAN! I HAVE MISSED YOU...
Now, go slap Bleed_Crimson around and have him read this thread...He needs to focus on the parts that discuss accountability for our actions, LOL...
Wait. Those were girls. My bad...
....Only kidding!
;)
One of two things will happen to this man. He'll either develop a sense of real honor, realize the gravity of what he's done in the past, and utilize this 3rd or 4th chance to make up for it by making something of himself; OR, he'll laugh at what he's gotten away with, AGAIN, not learn from it, and wind up doing something else stupid.
Be advised; this is not about, AL, FL, LSU, or any specific school. This is not about Houston Nutt, Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, or any specific coach. This is about the individual and his choices. Some kids can't be saved. We are just not qualified to do it. He either wants to do well and will work toward that end, or he won't.
Crimsonroll6, I grieve with you, given the untimely loss of your son. You, your family, and your son are now the subject of my prayers. I laud your bravery and willingness to share, not to mention state your opinion. That said, this is a college football blog. Preaching is best served…elsewhere. But, just between you and me, I think you may have done TE some good, eh?
