Sadly, fire seems harder and harder to find

As the cam situation proved, it doesn't matter how many dozens of people die of smoke inhalation, if nobody can show concrete proof of the flames, nothing ever gets done about it.

Plenty of "fire" you just gotta know where to look. This is my second sign. 1 more to go and I can spill the beans. "IT's" still coming.

I'll believe IT when I see it. BTW, you don't get to claim calling something after the fact, so ******** on your "second sign."

Crazy at it sounds, I'm starting to believe they just out-worked Georgia, and a lot of others in the SEC. The article in the CL didn't make it sound like he decided out of the blue--it was reportedly a long process: http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20130217/SPORTS030103/302180001/ I don't think any program is squeaky clean, and especially not OM, but it's hard to imagine bribing a 5 star that has never heard of you, without them telling the media--"D*mn, the Rebels will throw some righteous coin at you." Is the whole system so corrupt that the top HS players are largely on the take? Take a desirable location in the South, gorgeous woman, great weather-- and most of all early playing time-- then get the whole fan base involved, and why wouldn't they consider you? There is a lot to offer--and WE have largely the same attraction. Maybe there is hope for us yet--we just need OUR staff to hustle, and to get our fans aboard. Otherwise, how do you get "to the next level" when you consistently have recruiting classes that would get the HCs at Bama, TAMU, Georgia and LSU fired? We can't possibly make a move in the West when every team that beat us has a top 10 recruiting class--most of them year after year--and we struggle to break 25. We need this to be true...

It's not that fire is harder to find, it's that for whatever reason, not looking is preferable. Now if a recruit is promised hundreds of extra dollars a month, you can't stop that. But anything significant up front can probably be found if the NCAA were interested enough to do it.

The reason they got Tunsil is because they offered his little brother a scholarship, who has no room to be playing Div-1 football

Nt sure they could "Outwork" Richt on Tunsil

Richt has been personally recruiting Tunsil for over 2 years, Hard. Georgia has everything and more than Ole Miss has to offer. Something changed his mind on his OV, doesn't mean it has to be illegal but 2 years of work was undone in 2 days. Must have been something really good.

Everyone is concentrating on the five stars that OM signed. However, the only way to prove a violation is to go to the five stars they didn't sign.

For example, Chris Jones was committed to MSU for months. Nonetheless, he clearly stated in the video I saw that on the night before signing day he was 80% certain he was going to sign with OM. All anyone has to do is have Chris pass a lie detector test before the NCAA explaining exactly what it was that OM offered him to change his mind from MSU to OM. Nothing could be easier.

putting a current player in jeopardy b/c of trying to nail OM isn't a great idea

This. This is the reason I think Auburn skated by on the Cam Newton ****. I believe we gave all the info we could without incriminating Msu. I believe we had info that would have led Auburn to some major sanctions but probably would have done the same for us as well.

Nkemdichee trumped Richt.......

Without RN, we (I'm a Rebel) don't get a sniff at Tunsil and there are probably others that he influenced as well.

Now I don't have a clue if we "cheated" or not and neither do any of you. But if we did, I guess we out-cheated GA and he picked OM.

And just for the record, I don't think we "cheated"

This is already in the works from what I'm hearing...turns out he(Jones ) was a spy. His interest in OM was purely for *** and espionage.

Richt and UGA missed on most of their top targets down the stretch

Richt has been personally recruiting Tunsil for over 2 years, Hard. Georgia has everything and more than Ole Miss has to offer. Something changed his mind on his OV, doesn't mean it has to be illegal but 2 years of work was undone in 2 days. Must have been something really good.

especially the ones in state. So if something really good did occur on Tunsil's OV at OM to change his mind, then something really good also must have occurred at the OV's of the recruits that picked AU, Clemson, etc over UGA close to signing day.

Exactly. Out of the top ten GA h.s. players, UGA signed one.

The bottom line is that I don't care if we are or NOT. As long as we are doing whatever our recruiting rivals are doing, I'm ok with it!

Don't you feel that way about State?

Not so sure about the great weather. It's hot and humid as Hades half the year in Ox and Starkville.

I fail to see how Adams joining the infractions committee has any bearing on UMiss. IF UGA did turn UMiss in over Tunsil, Adams probably would not be able to hear the case.

The hope is he can push a case against them without ever having to "hear" the case.

So the coeds wear as little as possible--aint that great for recruiting? Beats -7 in Minneapolis. Matter of preference, but I love no real winter and long, hot summers.

Is the weather in Athens any different than Oxford?

So the coeds wear as little as possible--aint that great for recruiting? Beats -7 in Minneapolis. Matter of preference, but I love no real winter and long, hot summers.

Also look at each teams success the last decade. Couple that with the number of times each team has been to Atlanta, and the chances that each team will be in Atlanta the next 5 years af try to rationalize Tunsil choosing UM over UGA for any reason other than "extra benefits."

Jesus Christ, I've come to the conclusion that Bears in general will NEVER see things for what they truly are and will NEVER admit reality, NO MATTER WHAT, and will use WHATEVER means possible to SPIN the subject in a delusional way that looks somewhat appealing to the remainder of the bear delusionists.

Just STFU if you are going to try to rationalize this ****.

So let me be sure I understand the "logic" here. Jones was 80%-90% to OM, yet just a few hours later, he flips 180 and signs with State, and that chain of events leads one to think that Ole Miss is the one cheating here?

I mean... huh? Say what?

If it's hot women you're after, UGA is a far better choice. The talent on that campus is unreal, and there are thousands more of them.
