    Who knows? This is just Gilbleaux trying to get his name on the wires. He lumps this in with the recent conclusion of the McCarthy issue (old, old news) and the Lyles investigation (we're clean there). 2 + 2 = 117.:dis:

    How about forwarding your board schedule to me and I’ll try not to make speculative posts on those days. Don't want to be blamed for your stroke.;)

    We really really need that sarcastic emoticon. I suggest it be a joint picture of the pres and the speaker saying their personal relationship is doing just fine.

    I thought this was because he got body-slammed by a bouncer.

    other examples:

    --August 2010: 10 South Carolina players (just about all of them starters) were declared ineligible because they lived at a Miami hotel for discounted rates. by the first game of the 2010 season, the NCAA reinstated 9 of them, and the 10th one was reinstated by the 2nd game of the season

    --Summer 2010: 7 South Carolina players (including RB Marcus Lattimore) were declared ineligible because they had a total of 20 meals paid for them by a third party, including at places like Outback Steakhouse. they were allowed to play once they repaid the money, donating it to charity

    --2010 Preseason: South Carolina CB Chris Culliver (who recently got taken in the 3rd Round of the 2011 draft) took out a $1 million insurance policy prior to the 2010 season, and there was an issue regarding who was paying the premiums and there was an issue regarding a loan he got to pay for it. the NCAA cleared him to play in time for the 2nd game of the 2010 season

    --August 2010: South Carolina TE Weslye Saunders was dismissed from the team for a variety of transgressions, including accepting impermissible benefits, lying to Spurrier, lying to NCAA investigators (twice). he later said that NCAA officials told him he likely would have been suspended for a game or two had he been honest in his first two meetings with investigators

    --Georgia WR A.J. Green: admitted to selling his 2009 Independence Bowl Jersey for $1,000, had to give $1,000 to a charity, and was suspended the first 4 games of the 2010 season. went on to lead the team with 848 yards

    I thought your post was funny. I was just trying to add to the fun on the stroke post. I guess the comment about needing a sarcastic emoticon didn't sound the way I meant it.

    It's all good. It's the offseason thing.

    SOMEBODY KICK THE CLOCK IN THE AZZ!!!
    PLEASE WE ARE DYING OUT HERE IN THE FOOTBALL-LESS DESERT!!!!

    Then it was a pot shot by Rosetta to make it sound worse, his article in my opinion takes a cheap shot at LSU. If it doesn't matter if your girlfriend is employed by the school it's still against the rules, then why even mention his girlfriend works within the athletic department?

    Seems the bottom line is LSU (Miles) is not doing a good job of keeping things legal. They should be on top of where every player is living & how its being paid for. Seems to me the players should have to get permission to move off campus & it should have to be approvied by some one who is on top of the rules. I'm Disappointed in LSU.

    That is what they are doing. This instance just happened to be reported by the media. The move by Shep was very recent so they caught it very early. Shep was approved to move off campus like every player has to do but living arrangements with girlfriends doesn't have to be approved.

    LSU has a list on which apartment complexes are acceptable so that was covered and we still don't know if the payments or future payment plans are or will be approved by the NCAA.

    I don't understand that either. If her job in the AD isn't relevant to the stipend issue, then why did Rosetta feel compelled to mention that at all?
