or maybe we'll get another JUCO walk-on, we a pretty good a "finding" those diamonds in the rough
After reading that article, if I were him I would be jumping at the Samford offer and calling them every day too.
No way in hell Tennessee wants this guy, he is kidding himself big-time if he thinks he can make the UT roster.
Do feel bad for him though...

snapper (Feld), why not a place holder????? Please turn on your sarcasm detectors before replying........
Mullen: knock, knock... Uh.. Boss, I know you said we'd honor all Sly's scholarship offers, but... well, you might want to see this. presses play
Byrne: Oh... ugh... damn.
Mullen: Yeah.. figured you hadn't seen that.
Byrne: Ok.. I'll take the bullet on this one. Pull it.

I thought it was a stupid offer to begin with, but I gotta give props to old buddy Rocky for meeting him face to face.
Seriously.....that's rare in these times.

we need to make room for a new long snapper. Feld's detached cornea is a career ending injury. Carlson might not have a leg but he does have a cannon.
for who knows what reason, the guy is not SEC caliber and I would think he should want to go somewhere that he can play and play well (like a Samford). I think we should be obligated to give the guy help finding a place if he needs it but I really did a double take when Croom allowed this guy to commit way back when he did. Some of the QB evaluation that went on during the Croom era was mind boggling. For example, I can still remember signing the white option QB from TN (Ty Martin??) that nobody else even looked at. He came in for a couple of years realized that he was out of his league and transferred. It was wasted time for him and a wasted scholarship for us.

who's to say we wouldnt pull that offer in due time.....of course he turned it down.
yeah, it is a business.
however, most all of the MSU fanbase was ready to take fire and pitchfork up to Hopkinsville when Hopson had been committed to us forever, then suddenly decided to go elsewhere.
i find it hard to say that a coach refusing to honor a commitment is business, but a player refusing to honor a commitment is horrible/deplorable/corrupt/the son of Satan.
they are, to me, on the same level. both really really suck for the side that is getting screwed, but in the end...it is business, like you said. i do hope many who villified Hopson will be able to make this connection and realize that they are much the same.

its hard to feel too bad for him? he just went from being a QB at a BCS school on scholarship...to having the offer to friggin pay his own way, not be on the team, and have the chance to maybe possibly be on it later?
wow, what a consolation prize that is.
he is a 2*/3* QB who has D1 talent(seeing as how D1 teams have offered/shown interes). you really think going from scholarship offer to grayshirt offer should make him not be pissed?
I understand what you're saying, but I think all bets are off when a coaching change occurs. I've heard all the "you commit to the school and not the coach" crap, but I doubt many people would have questioned Hopson at all if his decommittment had come after a coaching change.
He was given an offer to pay his own way as a part-time student for ONE semester and then join the team in spring 2010. He was probably going to redshirt and not play next fall anyway. Do you really think Mullen would offer the greyshirt and then take it away at the last minute? The only greyshirt offer I can ever remember not being honored was when Colton Jenkins went against our coach's wishes by playing a year of JUCO, thus burning a year of eligibility.
And yes, I do consider this a hell of a consolation when no one else in the SEC is willing to give you the time of day.

i was just checking those stats for myself. I also noticed that our QB records make me want to cry. If Russell is half of what any realistic expectation is, then he should shatter our QB record book (thats because our records suck).

Likes Mississippi and USC...makes sense....one has won something significant in the last 30 years, one hasnt.....one's fans act as if they have been in the BCS championship series for the last six year, the other actually has played in many BCS bowls
One is in a town that features tradition, good resturants, some rich lawyers and residents who dress really sharp.......and the other one is Oxford
One is known for people who throw around money, the other in known for idiots sweating in blazers throwing whiskey bottles
One got a black eye during the Reggie Bush scandal, the other hasnt won anything significant since black players began playing in the SEC- about 35 years.
One is good and doesnt suck.....the other is Mississippi
One has a coach with unlimited talent......the other has a coach with unlimited texting
