The untold story behind Jeremiah Masoli's past, downfall at Oregon
HT: caguirre91, a Ducks fan. Look, I don't know Jeremiah Masoli, nor was I present during any of his crimes or arrests - which is exactly why I'm hesitant to judge him as harshly as our rivals and even some members of our fan base already have. Read this article from the front page of Sports Illustrated. Maybe you'll have more reserved judgments as a result. Jeremiah Masoli knows he made some serious mistakes and did some foolish things and, if he really is a guy as repentant as he's being made out to be, I am alright with Ole Miss giving him a second chance. I really am. Also, to be frank, I want to win football games and the guy's a badass quarterback.

This won't convince the haters ...
but I’m convinced and really looking forward to this season and some ‘trucking’ by Masoli.
I disagree........slightly..
There is plenty nuff in this article to convince the Spirit Board hatas that he’s worth investing in…
I imagine something like this:
He’s a wounded bird and their words of support(along with a lil’ bit of Jesus) could be just what Jeremiah needs to mend his wings and take flight. He’ll likely become a converted Christian(because obviously no Christian could have his criminal record) on the way to winning the Heisman and eliciting thoughts of Archie Manning running circles around the LSU defense.
Those people are searching for anything….he just needs to kiss some babies and yell a Hotty Toddy and he’ll have that crowd in the palm of his hands after this article.
He's a mercenary.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Let’s shoot for 7 wins and be happy.

I'm Mildly More Optimistic, David
Ole Miss is basically spotted 4 or 5 wins right off the bat (Jacksonville, ULaLa, Tulane, Vandy, Kentucky), with another one that they really shouldn’t lose in Fresno State. Even without Masoli, running the table against these teams was a realistic possibility. Add the fact that, yeah, winning in Knoxville is tough, but the Vols have problems and then some, that Arky’s still flawed and that we’re hosting the Egg Bowl this year, and we have a legit shot at another 8 win regular season.
"ULaLa"
I just want to read that out loud as “Ooh la la.” Yeah I’m a dork.
Yes, I live in Starkville...WHO did I piss off in a past life?

That's how Sam and I say it, Queen Hoka.
"HOT BOUDIN! COOOOOLD COUS COUS, COME ON TIGAHS, PUSH PUSH PUSH!"
Before Masoli we were not guaranteed Vandy, Fresno, and especially not KY...
Now, we’ve got those, plus, hopefully the Egg Bowl. I’m not saying we won’t do better, but this is obviously tagged as a rebuilding year, and with seven wins, I’ll definitely be ok..

Lets not forget that if Miles hasn’t figured out to read a damn clock yet we are in the clear with LSU as well.

Holy Masoli!
I buy the guy’s story. I’ve smoked a little grass in my day (by the way, don’t be naive, most college players and pros smoke herb, just don’t get caught!) and been arrested guilty by association, but I’m a successful engineer now. The guy had a few tough breaks. With the One Heartbeat and possitive team atmosphere our Rebels provide Masoli will excel. Hotty Toddy Holy Masoli!

I think this weill help lots of fans feel a little more reassured
I know it helped reassure me about some of the reports into his past. I still think he needs to associated with better quality people and not get into situations like this, but otherwise I think he could be a great person and an excellent player.
Finally finished the article. Makes me feel a whole lot better about the whole situation.
Sounds like he just needs the Right Reverend Houston Nutt and he’ll be aight.
He just needs friends who won't get his ass in trouble.
He’ll have a great time in Oxford, ‘specially if he wins us some games. He just needs to make sure the friends he makes aren’t shitheads.

Sounds like his biggest flaw
is really, REEEEEAAAAALLLLY poor judgement in the types of fellows he hangs out with. Forget friends, he just needs to bury himself in the library when not in class or on the field.

And BTW, when I say "library,"
I mean the actual library, with the books and the databases and the computers and the journals and the what-not. Not the entertainment establishment of the same name.
I always thought that was funny, though. Imagine being a parent and getting the credit card bill. “Hmm, a lot of charges to the Library and the City Grocery. Well, at least he’s studying and feeding himself right!”

Posted this in the wrong place earlier. I'm retarded.
He made stupid mistakes, but he honestly seems eager to get back on the straight and narrow and compete for a spot in the NFL. Seems that his bad reputation is mostly built on a few newspapers’ desire for flashy headlines and arrogant resistance to print a retraction. I hope the guy gets a chance to play at Ole Miss. Seems to me it would be a mutually beneficial relationship; we need him, he needs us.
I play for keeps.
