in the last game of the season......they did pay for the items including radios and pillows...cost between $15, $40

action took place a day after OLE miss lost to LSU.

SOME PUNISHMENT HUH? INDEFINATE PROBATION BUT WILL PLAY.

Actually it remains me of the time that the NT FB players took special decorated blankets after a game in Utah...several years ago, Police stopped the NT busses and had the luggage removed and found the items. I seem to remember DD had the players take extra "running" practice...Do not rember how many players did this..but it sure made the headlines back then. (Boise game?)

What's funny about this incident... everything occurred MUCH earlier in the season. Rebs always stay in Tupelo for home games and Auburn game was 3 weeks ago. At that time, people had faith that Orgeron would be gone at season's end. When Khayat (Ole Miss chancellor) announced he would not fire O before the NW St game -- the fans boycotted the game and only 25,000 attended. After that dismal turn out, and an even more dismal performance against 3-7 D1AA NW State, Chancellor Khayat stated it would take a major off-the-field incident to put Coach O's job in jeoprady.

This report came out immediately after, and it was leaked by an Ole Miss alum according to family sources (all my fam went there) to the press first -- then to the athletic department's press people. Now, that's one way to go about getting your administration to make a coaching change and eat their own words...

This reporting was completely self-motivated by alums who want a major change made now. After paying back the $$, there's not even NCAA violations for the players since it was rectified. But it makes Coach O's control over the team look bad -- and it's def "off the field" issues..

Was that under DD or Simons? I think it was more than just blankets.

That was under the good old Simon days..and yes anything that was not tied down the players tried to take.

      If I was Coach Hodge, I would have this blown up and posted in the locker room. I would tell the players that this is what people think of you and we need to go out and dominate every team defensively until people start putting some respect on our name. Then when people do start to put some respect on our name, we need to dominate teams some more to leave no doubt.

      Some are arguing on their board about who's better between Yale and UNT. They really can't get past the UNT loss. I really want to get poporn and make an account just to let them know we've finished higher than MN in NET every year since 2020.

      Seems like you've gotten over the speeding ticket well.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??
