Ole Miss defensive end Greg Hardy (the SEC leader in sacks and tackles for a loss) has been suspended indefinitely for "missing meetings, weight-lifting and other things." His mother says Ole Miss coaches have told her and her son that they won't release him from his scholarship to transfer to any other SEC school or Memphis (which is in Hardy's hometown).
The site Your Mother Slept With Wilt Chamberlain derides the stance by coach Ed Orgeron ("the 'wise"' titty-twisting machine of a head coach"), saying, "Ole Miss Is Wrong & Bass Ackwards"
The entire rant is entertaining but this is Doctor S' favorite part:
Does anyone realize this is OLE MISS FOOTBALL that we are talking about??? The same Ole Miss that fired David Cutcliffe after he had 2 losing seasons in 6 years but had plenty of 8 or 9 win years, including a Cotton Bowl win??? The same Ole Miss that has done just about nothing in my 30 years of existence of any major note (no SEC titles in football, no National Titles in football, or any other major sport that I can think of)??? The same Ole Miss who has no mascot because the Col. Sanders looking Col. Reb was deemed to "racially insensitive" and now there is no mascot at all??? The same Ole Miss that is proud of "The Grove" and all of its pageantry, but while everyone is dressed in their Sunday best, they are using Saturday night's paper plates and plastic utensils, negating the "prim and proper" atmosphere they are going for??? That Ole Miss??? I just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same Ole Miss.
