Nicely done.
But I see it playing out this way: Freeze knows his team has a chance to beat Auburn but 5% chance of beating A&M so he "investigates" this whole thing and levies punishment after he beats Auburn and blames/spins the loss to A&M on suspensions to recruits.
That snake in the grass knows how to spin some ****.

I think this whole thing has been blown out of proportion...
I get a chuckle out of Rebel misery as much as the next Bulldog fan.
I don't think its right to make a mockery of people's personal lifestyle choices (not that there's anything wrong with that, etc.)
I think Freeze should just handle in internally and move on.
He certainly should not bow to the pressure of douche bags that make a living by starting **** storms on internet blogs.

Who cares what happened...anything we make fun of about them, could easily happen to us. It's like we throw rocks at their plexiglass house, and it bounces off, only to hit some of you guys in the unibrow.
The "Bias Incident Response Team" will get to the bottom of it.****
The fact that the University of Mississippi has a Bias Incident Response Team speaks VOLUMES about them.
For those who didn't see it, the AD Bjork and Chancellor Jones press release stated that their Bias Incident Response Team will determine the facts.

BaHA! Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if OM comes out of this smelling like a rose somehow. Gotta hand it to them, they shake stuff like this off pretty damn good, considering how often similar incidents happen on their campus.
I get the feeling that the vast majority of people here are expressing overwhelming support for alternative lifestyles only because it involves the Bears. Had it happened at a school like Idaho State I suspect that most couldn't care less.
Yep. And I imagine this will hurt their recruiting class even more than the election slurs hurt last years.**
Just read the ESPN article and realized how they are spinning it. I don't think there will be a problem recognizing who it was. They won't suspend any of them.
They are using the fact that they are all freshmens as their excuse. The chancellor says basically that they do a lot to teach diversity and inclusion and that they have a new group of kids each year to start the process. The are heppin them. Notice no sophomores are in the mix in this incident or others. It is just the heathen freshmens! ALL IS WELL

I agree, but more because I don't know how they are supposed to discover exactly which of the 20+ players reportedly in the room actually used a homophobic slur? Should they suspend everyone of them just because a couple said something inappropriate? Should the others be suspended because they may or may not have laughed after something was said? To suggest they should all be suspended would be similar to saying that all players in a given class should be punished if one players skips the class because they didn't go drag him to class with them.
It get the vitriol, but its impractical to think that they can pinpoint exactly who should be suspended and who shouldn't, and impractical and extremely maroon-shaded thinking to suggest that every player in the room should be suspended. They have and will continue to get a lot of bad press over this, but that's all it's likely to amount to.
Didn't "Crunchy Mike" get expelled for his youtube rant a few years ago?
Seems like I remember some of the rebel defenders coming in and saying they took care of that guy and that behavior isn't tolerated on campus.
I'm not saying they should expel these players...but its not much different, other than we don't know if its on video yet.

Freezus will
just hold a retreat at Camp Wesley Pines and they'll teach from the New Testament, I'm sure. Then there will be a nice writeup in the various newspapers around the state expressing how great of a Christian Freezus is.

That's probably because only freshmen are required to attend the "theatre" course. The play itself could be construed as a lesson in tolerance and sensitivity.
Now why attending a play(s) counts as college credit is beyond me.
I'm not defending the players' actions (it's not in good taste regardless of their attitudes toward diversity and alternative lifestyles), but the University putting on a play that they knew good and well would be controversial, and then requiring students to attend (reportedly it wasn't only FB players heckling, but other "regular" students too), could only expect trouble.

I’m confused. I thought most of you embraced the word “***” as a clever and original insult. Do you now find it offensive? That happened quickly.
Your trolling has merit.
Things get typed on this message board frequently that are in the same vain. Often it's too much to find and delete it all. And I do see some irony in the schadenfreude of some over what those Ole Miss players did when they more than likely have muttered the same thing under their breath, or in the company of friends. However, it's horrible press for Ole Miss and MSU fans will take it. Maybe it will even make them examine the things they say and how they act. Seeing how foolish those players look now might make them realize that contrary to the cute little rhyme, words do hurt. They can hurt a lot. Now with that said... we're not about to get into a who is the most minority unfriendly fan base argument. Leave it be.

I'm not trolling, just pointing out the disconnect between claiming the moral high ground by some of the same individuals who have embraced the offensive word. Yes, it's embarrassing and disgusting. I'm on record as saying this. I hate that it happened and I can't believe there are some who are trying to defend it.
But it's also pretty disgusting and reflects poorly on us all when someone types the same thing on a public website associated with MSU which is read by thousands of people. I don't dispute that the negative press we're currently receiving greatly exceeds the impact of what's written by idiots on this board. I just don't think it should be a cause of celebration, particularly by the same individuals who have either embraced the term or uttered not a word of protest when it's been used (quite frequently) on this board by others.

We are in agreement.
But we're not about to get into all that because topics like that can't be discussed in a civil manner and without the mods reading the board all day trying to delete the truly offensive stuff. So.. unfortunately for you, a little hypocrisy is going to be allowed over the fact that your football players did something embarrassing. You'll have to live with that or just don't read the board for a few days. Just know that a few of us do try to keep that stuff off of here because our names are attached to it, even if it's just in a small way. We can't find them all, and some of those loving the Ole Miss situation at the moment have in fact typed some pretty offensive things in the past. Our job as moderators is to allow as much free discussion as we possibly can while keeping things as minimally offensive as possible. We can't moderate hypocrisy, and we aren't going to allow a big discussion on it. It will go the same way as discussions on gun laws, elections, etc. It will be just headed off at the pass and not allowed to take form. So, again. Leave it be and just live with a little hypocrisy for a while. You'll no doubt get the chance to throw it back at us in the future, and when the time comes, you can do the same on an Ole Miss message board.

This is why I actually read this board and enjoy it. What Natchez said here and NewTweederEndZoneDance said is OBJECTIVE. They aren't supporting Ole Miss or saying what happened wasn't wrong (and I'd say MOST of us can agree that what happened shouldn't be tolerated/acceptable). Heck, Natchez even admits he enjoys it (which in my view is normal. He's not an Ole Miss fan. Of course he's not going to cheer for the rival team --- and yes, yall are the rival yada yada yada). I agree with what both said. I think they should be punished, but some posters on here want them deported. Its quite hilarious, to be honest. Like RocketDawg said later in the thread:
He's exactly right.
Where
does all of this come from my post, above?
I was just pointing out how Freezus would provide a righteous remedy.

If it happened somwhere like "Idaho State", we probably wouldn't have even heard about it.
Back up, slick. Nobody ran up on the stage. People boo at football games all the time. They ran their mouth, heckled them. At worst, they should have been asked to be quiet. NONE of it is basis for suspension. Again, this is nothing more but fodder for the media.
This country would benefit greatly from a media shutdown for 2 weeks.

Holy crap Arlo, are you, an Ole Miss fan, seriously lecturing State fans about "maintaining the moral high ground"?
I think you should take Sesh's advice and take a couple days off message boards if this bothers you that much because State fans are just doing exactly what Ole Miss fans would be doing if the roles were reversed.
Now if we can just find a way to make a billboard........

I haven't claimed any moral high ground. I only pointed out that some on here have no right to claim such high ground when they've engaged in the very behavior they now condemn, which I thought was pretty clear from my post. That was my only intent. Nor am I surprised that y'all are exploiting the issue. I'm sure some of our fans would do the same, and if they too had engaged in such behavior they would be equally hypocritical.
At one time - dropping an n-bomb was acceptable in society. Calling a homosexual a *** was acceptable 10 years ago. Now, it's starting to be not acceptable. It's that simple.
Let's give a different setting to this scenario
Maybe simple minded people like Heaww can grasp this.
They're now putting on a play about a black man getting beat to death during the civil rights movement and players start making fun of him using racial slurs and inappropriate language while disrupting the play. Same scenario... I'm sure you wouldn't disagree with this would you?
In the end you dumbass it's all about just giving a little respect. Should they be kicked off the team? No.. They should definitely have to forego some form of punishment to at least make them consider for a second how elementary, uncouth, and simple minded their childish behavior is..
