Actually if you read the article he is not the one going around on facebook, he is simply saying how facebook has become a advantage/disadvantage in recruiting, and he was actually not the one that broke the story a few weeks ago either....

is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He is our beat reporter, but he is not our friend.
This particular story may be harmless, but I don't trust VZ at all.

Face it. You got called on your wrongdoings and can't handle the fact that your beat reporter acted on it. Sorry, that's his job.Rabid said:
Ever heard of ethics?
You guys would be shitting a damn brick if an MSU alum covered Ole Miss sports and reported on your "wrongdoings".

I'm sure you believe reporting rumors is ethical.
That's the umiss way, right?
And I mean not a friend in the sense that he is an enemy. Someone who purposely seeks to harm.
VZ knows he was wrong. That's why he keeps trying to clean it up. Keeps trying to legitimize it.

What is he wrong about? Reporting on something that was brought to his attention by other people, it did no harm, wasnt like he was the one breaking the story, and yeah he did go to ole miss but he has said it many times he does not root for them, he stays bias, but maybe people will yalls wish and he will leave and we will get some ****** reporter like brandt or someone else that wont keep you informed on anything...yall are making way too much out of nothing
I mean, VZ has to be the first sports reporter in history to write an article about how Facebook is muddying the recruiting waters. Wait, he isn't? Oh, damn.
We did exactly what he reported. Oh, I get it. It's a conspiracy!!!11!!!11! Veazey is a WEBEL HOMER!!!!!!!1!!!!!! The CLARION LIAR is run by the evil Hedermans!!!1111!!!!!!!!!!!

it was at Stanford, at Colorado, at Minnesota and everywhere else it's happened. Just because you want a reporter who is a total homer and helps sweep everything bad under the rug, that doesn't mean this was any sort of unethical journalism. If you still maintain it was unethical, explain why. What exactly did he do that was unethical. I don't believe reporting a true story that people will want to read counts.
that he also points out that the only reason that story came out was because some UM fans were on those recruits facebook pages. It's only a matter of time before every schools boosters commit violations on facebook, if they haven't already. I have no problem with Veazey reporting on strippergate, but don't think for a second that this kind of thing isn't going to bite your school in the *** too. Not that strippergate was anything more than entertainment for all of us anyway. There will be no consequences from the NCAA at all.
It is a play on words but Miss State did NOT take any recruits to a strip club. Did they go with some current players on their own? Yes they did. However, if one were to just read the heading of your post one would think that the school did it, sanctioned it, and was a part of it. That is simply not the case and that is why so many were pissed. It was some 18 yr old kids going to a strip club on their own and you tools wanted to make it out that the school was providing the entertainment.
it doesn't matter who took them...other players, students, coaches, etc....it was done while these kids were on State's time; therefore; State is responsible. Now the penalties, if any, might be lighter than if a coach or booster took them there, but State is still responsible. How is that so hard to understand?
coaches and the school didn't sanction it?!?!? What happened to OM (sanction wise) when all of the players stole clocks and pillows? They were on the school's dime and time. You see, OM wasn't responsible for the players stealing **** and didn't sanction the stealing just like State didn't sanction the strip club. Of course since State wasn't actually involved it isn't near as juicy.
Nothing happened to Ole Miss because that wasn't a violation of NCAA policy. I'm not sure if recruits going to strip club while on a recruiting visit is an NCAA violation, but if it is, then it does not matter who they went with as long as it can be shown that they went while on a recruiting visit.SnakePlissken said:
If an Ole Miss booster gave $1,500 to a football player without the school's approval or knowledge, the school is still liable for penalties.
it is not an NCAA violation except for the part where if you set your own rules you should follow them...
Why our fans continually bring it up, yet complain when a guy who works in the shittiest industry in the nation tries to break stories in hope of getting a job that pays above minimum wage does the same just baffles me..

Because I don't want him to do it to my school.
That's why.
I understand what he's doing and why. But, let him go break stories somewhere else. Not on the back of the school I love.
Has gotten your entire fan base up in arms.
Not bad for a guy who "works in the shittiest industry in the country and makes minimum wage."
Says more about your fan base than it does him.

land him a bigger and more prestigious job in the future. By style I mean his ability to use both print and electronic media and his hard work. I haven't seen a reporter who comes out with as many articles and electronic updates as he does.
Ethics? Ethics is for news reporters, NOT entertainment writers. His job is to entertain us, by telling of the wonderful exploits of Mississippi State athletics, to get as many MState fans buying Clarion-ledgers as possible and the products they advertise, and help increase season ticket sales.
If he wanted to be a REAL reporter, he needs to keep his *** down in Jackson, and report on the dealings with State government. Even better, maybe go toWashington and report on the shenanigans in our Nation'sCapitol.
Easy Tiger.... He's gotten about 6 posters on SPS worked up.. Nobody else is worked up except that we're tired of seeing those guys keep posting about it.Virgil Caine said:

he'll eventually get a good look at something for a better company that is directly more at online only media.

I used to be a supporter. I definitely think he does a good job.
It's his eagerness to break the big story that has me concerned.
This is the second time he's suggested that there may be NCAA violations involving MSU sports when there was actually no violation at all. Some people may consider that to be ethical, but I don't think so.
I understand he may want a better job and to make more money. I wouldn't want to do all he does for the Clarion Ledger for what I suspect he makes. But, don't suggest negative repercussions for my school until you have factual evidence. That's all I'm saying.

Which is totally different industry than print when you get down to brass tax.
If you're good, you'll get a job.

but some people do, so it's a legit story. Some of the other schools didn't sanction it or pay with school money either, but they were still reported on and caused some uproar.
If the recruit is on your campus, you are, technically under NCAA rules, responsible for everything that goes on during the trip.
As to the clocks and pillows, I believe the university and/or the players had to pay back the amount of property that they took.
It is unbelievable that some of you think that the University isn't at fault for recruits going to a strip club during an official visit.
