I know many state fans were praying/ hoping he would not get in. Also I know rumors were going around that he wasnt happy with OM and was going to lay out and go to EMCC and resign with MSU. Apparently, it was smoothed out bc he has made his grades and been accepted by OM and cleared by the Clearinghouse. I look forward to watching him for the next four years.

Editor's note-Rule 1E Violation. I'll tell you what's it's worth. Nothing.

Seriously. Who cares? No one around here was saying he would "lay low and sign with EMCC and re-sign with State." That's some Gene's Page **** and you best not compare us to those clowns.

coming over here and telling us that a recruit we both wanted is now officially eligible (ha ha) and too bad your prayers weren't answered?

Who the 17 are you to be patronizing someone for lack of originality?

told he hadn't been cleared yet.

I guess I'll have to go back to thinking endlessly about Bianco's inevitable trip to Omaha.

...fasting and praying that Pat Patterson wouldn't get his grades to go to Ole Miss. Because he's in, we're now going to become godless atheistic supporters of Nationalized Health Care.

After they got Powe in, this was a cakewalk.

And I haven't seen anyone post that rumor over here, but I did see it on BDJ.

I didn't put much stock into it, and I wouldn't have until about Aug 1 at the earliest.

it was in that thread where proof was given that Ole Miss didn't give away tickets to their spring game.

quit giving a shot about Pat Patterson when he decommitted from us in the first place. He's a good signee, but certainly not one that any rival should fear. I saw him play in the 4A title game and wasn't all that impressed. Noxubee County won with their defense, not because of any receiver.

All this pitter patter has got me tickled. Seriously, though, I think Pat will contribute to the team to some extent. Not bad news for the gang at Mississippi University

23 players are on academic probation going into last spring. All become eligible for the fall. Powe gains eligibility. No, academic surprises from Oxford are no more.

Nobody prays that Ole Miss players don't become eligible. There is no such thing. The one's that don't become eligible are the one's they decide aren't one of the top 25 that can be enrolled of the 38 that are signed.

I wish I could count the number of times I said that during the same things during the Ed Orgeron era... We didnt want him anyway blah blah blah. Or even this year with Fletcher Cox. He would have definately been a huge pickup for us and I hate we didnt get it. Its so much easier to say that. The fact is Pat is the number one player in Mississippi. Also, seriously, congrats on Thames, Skinner, Cox and Boyd eligible. They were the glue of the class.

But from what I saw, he wasn't the #1 player in Mississippi. I can honestly say I haven't given a seconds thought as to whether he'd be eligible for you guys or not. I just assumed he would be. I do think he'll be a good player for you, but I'm a lot more concerned about our signees than I am about him.</p>

The check must have finally cleared.

If he really wanted to come to MSU, he certainly could have just taken our check. It may have been less than Ole Miss's, but probably not by much.
