One of my 4 best friends, Mr. Chuck Knight, and the blood o' my heart.

My Dad gradumicated from Oak Grove in the forties...and he moved to H'burg back when folks moved from The Grove TO H'burg.

Just teasing ya and didn't mean to hit a "noive"...

Consider why you are bearing it. It’s one sided fluff from a liberal media crusader that is obviously written to harm the school. And you gladly played right into it because it’s another way for you to play Eeyore about USM.

Wah wah wah. I don't like the news so I'm gonna attack everyone who reports and even mentions it.

Just admit it, you came out in this thread guns blazing with your mind already made up and you didn't even read the entire piece (otherwise you would've known the timeline of the events that took place and who the AD/coaches were). You got called out and your reaction is to attack me claiming I'm "reveling in negativity" and "slamming the school". Pfff...stop being such a sensitive sally. This is EP, not BGN.

No I saw who wrote it- which you got wrong, BTW- and instantly knew it was a one sided puff piece for the plaintiff. It’s not news, it’s biased negativity, and you, as usual gleefully rushed in with bad “news”.

I will leave you to celebrate tonight’s basketball loss now.

I simply don't see an issue other that what I bolded in nasty's post coupled with mine....

I don't put much value in some of Munzly's writings as a journo (although, I can easily understand the pressure to 'perform for clicks' ASAP in today's world)

Yeah, I'll give you that. Munz didn't write it, he just retweeted it. So I guess that makes him a pusher of "liberal puff pieces"?? That's all beside the point though. You got called out for not reading the piece after claiming you knew what did (or didn't) happen when whoever was AD/coach:

I don't do twitter twatter bullshite......that's his source......hence, "per Munzly" jfc.....

give me a ******* break man.....

fyi: I think Harmon got ****** too......let's see if you can figure that one out.....

**** me......read through the thread.....

Can we put the bickering aside long enough to focus on the fact that the sequence of events as reported makes no damned sense whatsoever?

There is absolutely NO way this player’s status caused school officials to conduct a more thorough, targeted evaluation prior to signing off on his physical—which they then did—then 2 months or less later, that same condition just out of the blue and for no additional reason suddenly became a point of grave concern and a disqualifying condition in the opinion of those very same people. Either a key part of the story is being left out in the allegation itself or something was misreported because that s*** just doesn’t add up, not even a little bit.

Agree with you. Like I said on page one...something just doesn't make sense to me in all this. Either I'm missing something and it's just not clicking in my head, or what you said above.

Who gives a **** about any of this.

But let's not miss a chance to go negative, huh?

What did i read wrong???? Not being negative. I'm confused about the timeline:

-The kid played for LSU in the fall of '15
-After the season was over he was recruited by Disch (presumably because Disch just got hired by Jay from a German fb team)
-Kid transfers to USM, sits out the '16 year per transfer rules
-Kid is made eligible and cleared to play after '16 season
-With the team until June 28th 2017 when Todd McCall and Dr. Steven Beam would not clear him because of the kidney thing
-USM athletics allows outside second medical opinion. The kid gets that opinion from his kidney specialist saying in a letter "no medical reason to put any restrictions on Hammond's athletic activity."
-Even after second opinion, he is still not cleared
-Meanwhile, he tried to transfer to MTSU and somehow they already know about his medical condition...

big difference between releasing medical records vs him divulging to a coach about his condition in passing....

I see nothing here......happens all the time......

Ding ding ding.

He mentions that the he sold his car to pay for school which caused a financial burden and was upset because he didn't receive his scholarship. My question is, what would have changed about the car he sold if he had received his scholarship after sitting out a year? He doesn't get the money back, so either way he is minus the car and tuition. He just gets the remaining time in school paid.
