I know he is a former player for State and big bulldog fan. Couple of things that I am curious about.

1. Why is he even involved? What did he have to do with cam or cecil or rogers?

2. Why would Rogers contact him to see if the deal was going through?

3. Was it not obvious by the coaches unhappiness in the room that we were not going to pay?



Don't beat me up for this, I am just trying to get a grip on things and have only been able to read and not listen to the radio show. It almost sounds to me (forgive me) that Cecil left the room or meeting with the coaches thinking there was a chance we were going to pay. Why was there even a call the next day to see if they had a deal.

Like I said, just trying to wrap my head around this. Someone now explain how wrong I am, PLEASE.

The "Public?"



A PM is fine, but I thought we were allowed to ask questions. Let me know when the next question and answer session is open. K? Thanks.

2. He's lying about that. He called Bell to solicit money for Newton.

3. Well, you can interpret "Whoa, whoa, we're not going to talk about that" as a way to keep the coaches out of it. Newton wanted to get payed so figured he better go the booster route instead of directly to the coaches.

Rogers is still covering his ***, so he's trying to make it sound like he didn't contact Bell to broker a deal, but to find out where "the deal" stood. Rogers is just as dirty as Newton is in this deal.

and it didn't even have to be pm'd.

Listening to the podcast now, Rogers does not sound like the sharpest knife in the drawer. Sounds like maybe the last guy on earth I would have brokering a deal for my son, if that is actually what he did.

He was really trying to make himself out to be captain innocent on the radio, but he basically admitted to calling "people who did have (the money), or people who could get it."

I don't think that indicts State in anyway, just himself and Newton.

some of his former teammates to get the money train rolling. And that's exactly what Rogers did.
