PrintNo. 14 Hogs Visit No. 11 Ole Miss | KATV
Being an Arkansas news source, I would venture the article to read thusly:
HA! Old Piss Webel gays and their pink pants and polos and racism and poors and elitism are gonna crumble to the almighty Arkansas Razorbacks--WOOPIG SOOIE--this weekend. They will then be forced to bow before the feet of Dave Van Horn and pay tribute to Jesus' favorite baseball team WOO FUCKING PIG!
Or, actually, it could be boring, objective journalism. Whatever.
SEC baseball Pythagorean win-loss, Week 7 | The War Eagle Reader
The source of much contention in a comments thread from yesterday, Jerry looks at each team's expected record, based on the Pythagorean win/loss sytem, and compares it to the actual record. What can we learn? Well, you can interpret it as "Ole Miss is lucky" or "Ole Miss wins close games, and loses not-so-close games." Stats are fun, right gang?
The Five Most Important Remaining SEC Series | Team Speed Kills
Cock 'n' Fire has our series against Arkansas and Auburn as two of the five most important series remaining in the SEC this season. Considering the teams involved and their jockeying for position atop the SEC West, I'd agree. There, ya happy, No Quarter?
Holloway can’t transfer to South Carolina or Clemson | Ole Miss sports
NEGATIVE SLANT BRANDT! I don't know the details here, but c'mon Coach Kennedy, let the guy transfer to Clemson. I can understand keeping him out of the SEC, but the guy left on good terms. He just wants to be with his family in South Carolina and would, preferably, play for a team in a conference people are actually aware of.

I've heard from a totally unverifiable source
that it was the administration’s decision, not Kennedy’s.

Even worse!
I think that is total BS. I would rather it be Andy Kennedy so I could channel my hate. This pisses me off more than Murphy leaving in the first place. Kid tries to do a good thing and be responsible and we slap it to him for no good reason.
I'm a Rebel, but I bleed the cherry and silver of the Lobos.
Ok....
while I agree that it was responsible for him to want to take care of his child, let’s not go all out in saying that Murphy Holloway as a college freshman (remember, his daughter is six months old) impregnating a girl in South Carolina is responsible.

I dunno, Juco,
who are we to determine one’s responsibility in terms of who they do and don’t reproduce with and when? I guess there’s the geography issue but, eh.

The AF certainly determines shit like that
Just like i’m their property, college athletes belong to the program. It’s irresponsible to let your dick/drug problem/laziness/general ass-hattery prevent you from fulfilling commitments you’ve made. And don’t give me some “he’s just outta high school” horseshit. 18 year olds can vote, join the military, marry, and in most of the world legally drink. Responsibility is knowing what you have to do and living with the consequences when you don’t.
/soapbox’d
He had to get his fuck on. He did.
He knocked a gal up and now he’s living with said consequences. I think he’s being pretty responsible per your definition.

It would have been responsible

Not the point.
I don’t give a rat’s anus whether someone makes a mistake – no one is perfect. And, I do understand there are consequences. What I do not understand is why refusing to let him go to Clemson should be one of them. I understand South Carolina, but Clemson? Give me a break. That’s our university giving Murph the finger; way to be all grown up and stuff.
I'm a Rebel, but I bleed the cherry and silver of the Lobos.
Ok....
so apparently the administration suspects, and with some substantiation, that Clemson was tampering with the situation before Murphy even approached the coaches about transferring. Obviously, we’re not going to release a guy to a school that convinces him to transfer.
W’ll see how this plays out.

I heard the same rumor...
shortly after all the news came out. I didn’t want to say anything, because I didn’t know if it was true, and wasn’t 100% confident in the source.
If it is true, then we are justified in not letting him transfer there. If it is not true, then our coaching staff/administration rightfully look like douchebags. I don’t want to speculate on someone’s life situation, because I don’t know all the facts, but I tend to believe there is some truth in this rumor. I respect Murph’s decision (if it is truly, 100% about being there for his daughter), but I tend to think an easier solution would have been for his daughter and her mother to come to Oxford, if they think Murphy is going to play professionally one day. I know it is not as simple as just driving over to Oxford and getting an apartment/enrolling in school/whatever the plan is. It would make more sense, though, to do that than have him sit out a year while potentially having to play somewhere with no exposure like Coastal Carolina, UNLESS the point of all this was to transfer to Clemson from the get-go. They have a new coach and a couple roster spots open, so it wouldn’t surprise me. The truth usually lies somewhere in the middle in situations like this.
Except you left out the part about flawed bullshit Auburn propaganda. Still...
I didn't come here to be nice.
Numbers don't bullshit,
but people do. Remember this, kiddos. Stats can be interpreted to mean many things, especially when they’re applied to such an unpredictable sport like baseball.

"No. 14 Hogs Visit No. 11 Ole Miss"
Your description of the KATV article is just about right. Here’s the first sentence; notice how well it meshes with the headline:
The top spot in the Southeastern Conference Western Division will be up for grabs this weekend as the No. 10 University of Arkansas baseball team head to Oxford, Miss., for a three-game series with No. 11 Ole Miss.
I didn't come here to be nice.
Why not?
Both those statements are true. It pretty clear to me that they guy who’s responsible for the headlines is a member of the Houston Nutter Butter Gang. Probably related to a Florida umpire, too. I mean, why else would the title quote the, what, one poll that has the Rebs ahead of the Hogs? I’m writing my congressman.
/sarcasm’d (Is this notation still acceptable?)
Notation accepted.

Your friend Gamecock Man says Ole Miss is "classless." Is that true?
From the Garnet and Black Attack:
I really think this was a classless, gutless move by Ole Miss. I can see why they wouldn’t release him to play at USC, considering that we play them every year, but Clemson? Ole Miss doesn’t have to play the Tigers, so the Rebels have nothing to gain from this, unless they’re just trying to frustrate this young man’s plans. And you know what? That must be what they’re trying to do, because I can’t see any other explanation for it. Just classless.
Eschew obfuscation.
That's some pretty righteous indignation...
… from an administrator on a blog network that bases its existence on posters being allowed to type “shit-dick-bitch” and riding the “lolz-we-burned-our-rivals-by-bringing-the-ironic-humor-bitchez” articles.
I kinda get the feeling he’s just a tad more upset because we wouldn’t let Murph transfer to South Carolina, but that’s just me (and, you know, reality).
I think its pretty clear Clemson had the opposite of buyer’s remorse on Murph because they didn’t recruit him, and they figured out a way to get him there so they could at least enjoy two years of passionate play and poor free throw shooting. I’ve got 0 problems with cock (tiger?) – blocking them on this one.
