Rumor with legs:

[Drebin]

Ole Miss has vacated their Sugar Bowl win. Trophy has been removed from the case.

Discuss.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Well well.

 

[Junction John]

So from now on, when they bring up their Sugar Bowl victory in every. single. conversation. we can just say "no you didn't"?

I'm happy now.

 

[T-TownDawgg]

Recruits who got 1st class BJ's say "Meh, I got mine"

 

[o_dawgnabit]

The rumor on the Spirit board is that it has not been in the trophy case since Wednesday. And there’s a rumor that Tunsil is now involved with Rebel Rags in a new allegation

 

[anon1787432961]

I've ran into no less than a dozen older rebel alumni that still believe the sugar bowl appearance was for the SEC champions that year. To them the sugah is still the sweetest.

Sadly, the experience and fun that each of the fans had while attending the Sugar Bowl cannot be taken away from them even if the trophy is. I sure was wanting to see their program shut down for a few years. That might have deterred the network from continuing to do the same things they have been doing. Any idea on what other wins they have had to vacate?

 

[Shmuley]

That’s a shame gif.

Ole Miss finished FIFTH in the SEC when they went to their previous Sugar Bowl in 1970 or so.

Speaking of Rebal Rags, I thought they were disassociated. But, yet they still were advertising on the video board at VHS last Thursday. Saw at least one pre-game. I didn't look to see if they still had a tent setup to sell rebal gear. Was it just Terry Warren that was disassociated? Or was it RR?

Well, the thing is they can't talk about it when fans of other schools are around anymore. If they do all opposing fans have to say, as pointed out above, is no you didnt.

Or just reply with "Oh, you mean the VACATED one"

[The Peeper]

I got more tired of Houston Nutt bringing up "back to back Cotton Bowls" in EVERY SINGLE CONVERSATION. He was like that episode of The Big Bang Theory where all the nerds get tired of Howard talking about being an astronaut and going to space in no matter the topic.

 

[Dawgzilla]

And after Thursday night, they REALLY have to ask themselves if it was worth it.

 

[00Dawg]

We've got the Golden Egg. When do we add some asterisks?

Only slightly kidding.

 

[Drebin]

Only slightly kidding.

I don't know if they still engrave scores on the trophy, but if they do, and asterisk needs to go by the 2015 score because that one is getting vacated, too.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

The fans will not care, they will still claim the Sugar Bowl. This means absolutely nothing unless they have to return major dollars.

 

[coach66]

Just Terry I think which is why the NCAA basically said the case is nonsense

because they haven't damaged Rebel Rags.

 

[coach66]

Yep, probably have to give up a couple of Egg Bowls too just for good measure.

It sure has been a much more relaxed recruiting environment since that damn Freeze and his clan got out of the recruiting business.
Those guys cheated like hell and still half their fan base can't admit or won't admit it or mitigate the hell out of it.

 

[Drebin]

There was a thread on the spirit discussing this but it got deleted. They're trying to keep it on the down-low for now I guess.

 

[thf24]

Pretty sure they do have to refund any revenue from formally vacated post season games.

 

[L4Dawg]

Pretty sure they do have to refund any revenue from formally vacated post season games.

I think they do too.

 

[Apoplectic_Objurgator]

I think they do too.

i’m sure the landshart media guide will accurately portray

 

[Dawgzilla]

It better. The NCAA infractions report specifically says that their media guide and all university publications need to reflect the vacated wins, and all coaches have to remove those wins from their personal media, and should not count those wins for any milestones such as "100th win", etc.

https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/en...ov2018INF_UMississippi-PubAppealsDecision.pdf

Ole Miss shall vacate all regular seasonand postseason wins in which ineligible student-athletes competed from the timethey became ineligible through the time they were reinstated as eligible forcompetition through either the student-athlete reinstatement process or a grant oflimited immunity. The individual records of the ineligible student-athletes shallalso be vacated. Further, Ole Miss's records regarding football, as well as the recordof the head coaches, shall reflect the vacated records and be recorded in allpublications in which football records are reported, including, but not limited to,institutional media guides, recruiting material, electronic and digital media plusinstitutional, conference and NCAA archives. Any institution that maysubsequently hire the individuals who served as head coaches when the ineligibleparticipation occurred shall similarly reflect the vacated wins in the head coaches' career records documented in media guides and other publications cited above.Head coaches with vacated wins on their records may not count the vacated winsto attain specific honors or victory "milestones" such as 100th, 200th or 500thcareer victories. Any public reference to these vacated contests shall be removedfrom athletics department stationery, banners displayed in public areas and anyother forum in which they may appear. Any trophies or other team awardsattributable to the vacated contests shall be returned to the Association.

In the words of Jerry Maguire, "SHOW ME THE TROPHEEEEE!!!!!!!"

I claim the wins in the Egg bowl in the 70's, I was there, we beat that ***.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

So do we make the playoff in 2014 now?

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Are they vacating 2012 Egg Bowl also? There had to be ineligible players in that game also.

 

[00Dawg]

The 2012 one has been almost guaranteed...

since the ACT news first leaked. The 2014 and 2015 editions depend on who the offending player(s) are and when they were ineligible.

 

[blacklistedbully]

Or just reply with "Oh, you mean the VACATED one"

Better yet, "Oh you mean the one you didn't actually get because it was proven you cheated!" Just saying it was vacated won't mean much to many OM fans,as they'll still just claim it. Need to continue reminding them even the memory of it is false because they had to cheat to get there. Rub in that nobody outside of Oxford will even remotely consider them Sugar Bowl champs...ever. Let them know any and every time it is brought up, it will just be a reminder of what a bunch of cheating low-lifes they are.

 

[DoggieDaddy13]

When do we find out which players were ineligible and which wins and records are vacated. The way I read the ruling, UM has until Christmas to let the NCAA know. Will that information be made public?
doubtful.
