Some guy threw the name **Redacted** (from Memphis) out there. Towards the end of the thread someone says he is a Miss. State booster.

Does it matter who the guy is? Good lord people, stop policing ourselves. Why must we throw every possible lead out in the open?
Do you think during Camgate that Auburn people were posting the names of all possible involved people? Hell no. They supported their own school.
But here at Moo U, we can't stand success. We turn in our own. We raise red flags at anybody that might need to be looked at.
Its no wonder that beat writers read SPS. You folks are taking all the work out of being a reporter. Or an NCAA investigator.
GET A DAMN CLUE!!!

Why do some of yall get so protective and sensitive over this guy? The diffenrence b/t Auburn and us is they got away. I could care less who the guy is but I am interested in the details. If he allegedly did something dumb that hurt MSU, I absolutely want to know who he is. I also dont agree with the "policing ourselves" stance. You do realize that the NCAA and MSU are DONE with the investigation and the outcome has absolutely nothing to do with if his name is out there or not. Policing would be if we turned him in while committing violations. Putting the pieces together after the fact is not even close to policing.
One reason they got away is because they don't prosecute their own people on message boards.
Yeah, it is. You, sir, are part of the problem.
What do you mean prosecute on mb's Flab? The investigation is over and been over. Why does it matter? This didnt start on a mb, so I fail to see your rationale
I mean throw names around and discuss who might have done what.
What if...the name being thrown out ISN'T the guy who got investigated. What if that gets around and it gives the NCAA something else to snoop at.
You don't know the investigation is over. And even if it us, it could re-open with something else that we just threw out there.
Don't play with fire when you don't know where all the gasoline is.
Even if the name is correct, why burn bridges.
SMH.
Yeah, I usually leave loaded pistols out around my kids because I am pretty sure they don't know how to shoot.
Yep, we sure dont want those NCAA investigators who monitor message boards on a regular basis to get wind of something fishy at Mississippi State. Get real. I agree name shouldnt be thrown around just to be thrown around but it's going happen so we got to live with it. Plus, people who know names that could burn bridges know better than to post it on a message board.
Or maybe flab is just trying to protect a buddy....I just think there's alot to this story thats gonna change the way MSU deals with the media, specifically internet sites. The incident itself is going to be more of a black eye than a real issue. But internally I think you'll see less and less access to our players, coaches, recruiting lists and practices....
Auburn got the memo "ALL IN" - their fans don't implicate themselves or even try to. Some of our fans are by gawd determined to make smoke when there's no fire.
Couldn't agree more. We have some of the dumbest 17s for fans I've ever seen. In the hypothetical case that if a booster ever commited an NCAA violation I damn sure don't want to know about it. And I especially don't want anyone to tell me on a public message board.
I agree that some of our fans are determined to make smoke but I assure you that those same fans have no damn clue or connections to get our school in trouble with NCAA because the names they throw out are more than likely not to pan out.
I think that you are taking the interwebs....
a bit too seriously and that some of the others who post this stuff are taking it a bit too lightly. Like most things, it is probably somewhere in the middle.
Do you know of any NCAA investigations that stemmed solely from the ramblings on message boards? Did they amount to much?

Exactly, and it is not like the NCAA has the time or the resources to chase down every message board rumor and inuendo that comes up.
Its as simple as this. We don't cheat. So why do you keep implying that something could happen?
We don't cheat. Don't worry.
Unless it confirmed something they already suspected. Just throwing that out there.
But why fan the flames of something they either already suspected or had all but stamped out.
We were going to end the investigation but Fatboy on Sixpack Speak obviously knows something, so we are going to track him down and open this mutha17er back up.
Pat, your point is taken but you cant discredit the other side of the argument. Boosters committing violations isnt the issue at heart (i dont think). I think people are curious about details (such as the nature of the alleged violation) because of the timing. MSU is seeming to be building a program in the right direction and NCAA snooping/sanctions is the last thing any of us wanted to hear. When you add in that certain folks have painted a booster rumored to be disassociated as a rogue internet cowboy it adds to the equation. I don think anyone can deny there is a price to play the game but most rationale fans (my self included) would be a little pissed if program momentum took a hit b/c of haphazard, irresponsible actions by 1 guy

I don't know. Maybe because we are a sports message board that talks about MSU.
Do you remember the gigantic threads on tigerdroppings and the bama boards about Camgate? I think one was over 20 pages long. Nothing happened. What Flab and you appear to be suggesting is that if those threads had then been discussed over on the Auburn boards that the NCAA investigators would all of the sudden decide that they now have to be legit. Afterall, the homers from Auburn even think it is happening and they have "inside" information that must be solid.
so, in summary, we wanted to know who the player was, we wanted to know our coaches name that lost his job, we wanted to see pictures of his former gf, we wanted to know the players highschool/summer league coach, but we don't want to know who the booster was that caused all of this??? Would we want to know where said booster and interweb impresario got the players personal info? Because that too is a major issue inside the bryan building....
So me posting about the other side is haphazard and irresponsible? Or is it the one who got caught? I'm still not following you. I didnt do anything to damage MSU and my post arent either. Do you really think I am the one hurting MSU by posting in this forum and not the root of the investigation (whatever that may be)?
