I have a lot of respect for The Ghost of Jay Cutler

But this isn’t acceptable:

This is, of course, not enough to satisfy much of the Rebel fanbase. They have concerns which, while not entirely illegitimate, can and should be overlooked by any Rebel fan concerned with winning football games.

He goes on to say

… well, let me just quote it:

He’s a “thug” – Look, I hate to be this guy, but “thug” is really just Southern WASP slang for “brown guy with a checkered past.” Honestly, really think about this here, how many times have you heard someone label a white person a thug?

Forgive the error in translation, but I think there’s a difference between a “checkered past” and running around stealing laptops and guitars from a dorm as a Junior in College, and then rolling around smokin’ weed while bustin’ up the traffic rulebook.

Another funny comment!

here:

He was busted for participating in strong-arm robberies in high school with some other fb players—basically bullying other kids for money. The college burglary incident is just confusing. UO athletes are assigned Mac laptops by the school, so it’s not like he needed one. For the money? Possible. But what makes the most sense is the rumor around campus: There were pictures of him smoking pot on the computer.

He can keep his nose clean for limited periods of time. If you guys get him, there’s no reason to think he won’t be the perfect citizen through football season. After that, who knows? But then, why should you care?

The rumor also must be that someone printed out the picture of him smoking weed on their guitar, which is also why it had to be stolen. After his later arrest in his car after smoking weed Masoli said, to paraphrase, “I didn’ think nobody could see me through clear glass onna road!”

I hope that picture doesn't find its way onto the internet

Quick! Lock up the internet!

And so it begins...

I have a feeling the Ole Miss game could be quite entertaining this year.

I had a little trouble understanding this one....

I won’t gussy it up here: when he was sixteen, he was locked up for a while in juvenile hall for assaulting and robbing somebody at a California shopping mall. I have no idea what the details of the case are, but that’s a pretty serious transgression, especially for a sixteen year old. But, what’s really important to remember is that Masoli has committed no such transgression since.

I suppose by “no such transgression” he means the assault part… so, it’s okay to steal stuff as long as you don’t physically harm the victim while doing so?

"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone."

Please introduce The Ghost of Jay Cutler to the USC Trojan fans

If TGJC is trying to rationalize support for a pot-smoking, thieving bully, then TGJC will be a great asset to Trojan fans as they live thru the Kiffin-Orgeron years.

I, for one, would recommend the waiving the “handgun purchase” delayed registration period at the USC site for new members and allow TGJC immediate posting rights, if they can convince TGJC to transfer allegiance and apply “skillz” over there.

The COEXIST bumper sticker is ridiculous. How are people supposed to get along when one side is flying planes into tall buildings or wearing sweater vests full of C4 and nails? The faiths are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.

Some news on the Masoli deal

According to ESPN:

Ole Miss assistant athletic director for compliance David Wells told The Clarion-Ledger that the university would have to ask the NCAA to waive a one-year residency requirement, which can be granted if the athlete enrolls in a graduate program that is not offered at Oregon.

Does Oregon offer a program in Sundress Studies?

Are they planning on putting a tall, barbed wire fence around the Ole Miss athletic facilities. Seems like this is maybe the third player in 2 years that I’ve heard of the Rebels recruiting who had pending criminal charges.
