Hell yea! Damn Right!
Now we got our QB depth back with a proven QB. I think Stanley can be great, but this helps a lot.
I'll miss him at Autzen tomorrow
He’s one hell of a QB. Go Rebs! Go Ducks!
Early Christmas
Now lets rally behind Bama so they can get Dareus back for at least the Penn State game. We owe them that much after the support they’ve given us in this matter #freeDareus
Repping Ole Miss in 34 countries since 1996
Wha...? :-/
This goes directly AGAINST what I heard in the seamy undercurrent of SEC scuttlebutt.
Remember in November.
Still the NCAA are assholes.
I’m amazed that they are worried about student-athletes graduating early and transfering. Isn’t the whole concern that they graduate in the first place?
If the NCAA and the member schools truly cared about academics they would allow all graduates one transfer sans penalty, regardless of their athletic situation. Worst case scenario ==> kids graduate early!!
(btw, playing slow dixie on headphones and maximum volume)
I am likewise playing FDWL at an unreasonable volume.
My extreme happiness at the NCAA’s decision to pull its head out of its ass is slightly tempered by my sudden remembrance that I will watch the Rebs kick off the first game of the season tomorrow without first hearing the sweet notes of the greatest song every played by any college band anywhere. For a few sweet months, I had forgotten. Hotty Toddy anyway!
the fact that they allow one and done's in college basketball lets me know
all I need to about how worried they are about student athletes graduating.
My spirit's roaring!
Just imagine Gerard Butler’s Leonitus, Vigo Mortensen’s Aragorn, Mel Gibson’s William Wallace, and Russell Crowe’s Maximus Arelius combined into one epic warrior entity. That’s how I feel right now.
My wife thinks this makes you look a little gay.
But I support your enthusiasm!

I like it.
[The NCAA] cannot wield [him]. None of us can. The One [Masoli] answers to [Houston Nutt] alone. It has no other master.
Ok. I’m done.

This just reminded me of Eastbound and Down's Stevie Janowski
“I feel ten feet tall and strong as a ox.”
I agree
Bama has shown support for the uncuffing of the NCAA’s constraints of the Masoli matter. However, I think it was always more about Dareus getting cleared that Masoli.. they could just associate with us on the matter. Also, oleforty getting cleared for the Tulane game. The only thing that could make this day better is Braswell committing and Jermaine Whitehead figuring out State isn’t where he wants to be.

What goes through my mind everytime I read Masoli is

except instead of saying “the goalie!” the opposing coach screams “Masoli!”
I don’t know how to create .gifs, but if I did, that is what I would create.
I arrived on campus at Ole Miss in the fall of 2003. Col Reb had just been banned over the summer, so I technically never knew him as my mascot. A student led initiative caused a campus wide vote to keep Col Reb alive. Though the vote passed to keep him on life support, the administration still pulled the plug on him. Though I never knew him, I was there and witnessed Col Reb's Last Breath.

Except for those non-Rebels who actually supported us.
And there were a lot of them, mainly because we’ve all been hit with the “arbitrary capriciousness” of the NCAA at one time or another.

Considering what we just went through with Justin Hunter
I definitely empathized. Regardless of how I felt about the offer in the first place, declaring him ineligible on the Tuesday before kickoff was a dick move.
Son of a bitch!
We lose Masoli and Lockett in the same day, then we get them both back in the same day. I’m gonna have a heart attack if this shit keeps up.

Yeah this is the rollercoaster that is Ole Miss athletics.
One second you are losing to Vanderbilt due to turnovers and then you beat Florida 31-30. “Ole Miss athletics not for the fainthearted!”
[Sports] God[s] will it!
Masoli ruled immediately eligible and good news regarding Kentrell?
I’m on my way to put money in an offering plate and donate blood, then pour a 40 oz (of motha ugh Olde English) on the ground. Queue From Dixie with Love.

Make sure that ground is Faulkner's grave!
Giving a good ol’ toast to Faulkner is always good for the “spirits”.
I will be down in Oxford on Thursday
And I believe I may have to visit Mr. Faulkner’s grave and supply him with some whiskey. It seems appropriate.

I never thought I'd say this, but

Can We Give a Shout-Out to Stanley, Too?
Through this whole situation, that kid’s been nothing but classy.

I didnt know much about stanley before.
now I know I have a lot of respect for him and think he is a great leader for our team. He’s been very classy to say the least. He’s said all the right things.
His family too. I love the interview with his mom where she came out exceptionally great.
Just saying her son would compete like any other player, and the best player should play whether it was him or Masoli or Mackey. He is definitely moving up my favorite players list.
Hear, hear
Stanley is a standup guy and a great Rebel. Few people could have handled this whole situation with such class. The guy’s got a lot of character. I’ll be proud to have him leading the Rebels next year.
I play for keeps.
Congratulations
It’s unbelievable that common sense actually prevailed here. I know that there will be a lot of Ducks fans pulling for you guys this year. Now go out there and win some games.

Entire PotS Grove warmup on the earbuds right now...
With FDWL…of course.
I’m still in complete shock…
Holy shit
the ncaa got something right

More amazing...
…they admitted they were WRONG.

Nathan Stanley
Probably took a deep sigh at some point today.
Don't try and lay no boogie woogie on the king of rock 'n roll.
Agreed but who wouldn't have
Besides, hes still our starter and I am not disappointed by that.

HOTTY TODDY GOSH ALMIGHTY
Let’s tee it up boys, time for some football now.
Whether it’s Stanley, Masoli or Mackey, I’m behind the Rebs 100 percent, but this would’ve been a huge injustice to this team and Masoli had it not been reversed today.
If I predict it, there's an 50 percent chance it happens.
Good news
But you have to feel sorry for Nathan Stanley. His emotions are probably fried.

I guess we can't use "Down with the NCAA!" as our seasons rallying cry anymore.
Or maybe we still can since they are still assholes.
Un-fucking-believable
Hotty Toddy!
The NCAA never ceases to amaze…
I’m so fucking pumped. I was slow to get on board this Masoli thing at first, but justice is served. We’re going to kick way more ass than we we’re going to yesterday.
And for all those who that thought the NCAA’s denial was some sort of indictment against the university, the program, and Masoli for “playing the system” or worse: how does this taste? How does this play into your deformed narrative of “justice” in “amateur” atheltics? It’ll definitely be easier for Clay Travis to excuse his Vols getting dumptrucked in their front yard 11/13.

I think that the Apocalypse is approaching...
…stuff like this – i.e. good – does not happen to the Rebels.
I'm a Rebel, but I bleed the cherry and silver of the Lobos.
I was just about to come on here and say something similar.
The fact anyone got an NCAA decision overturned is news, really. But Ole Miss really hasn’t had the greatest luck with the NCAA.
Well, I’ll enjoy the news now and worry about Armageddon later. For now, somebody saw through the BS of the NCAA’s initial decision.
About time the NCAA gets one right.
They make a rule. Masoli abides by it. Then he is deemed ineligible right before the first game, although he followed the rules of eligibility.
If even the NCAAzis can have a change of heart, maybe the Grinch can actually enjoy Christmas this year. Can’t wait to see the Samoan Rebel whoop Auburn.

Congrats to you guys.*

Let's just hope this turns out okay.
Everyone’s assuming Masoli will stay out of trouble and/or nothing else will go wrong about this. I’m glad the NCAA’s hypocrisy has been exposed but I still have a nagging feeling something will go wrong and this will all blow up in everyone’s face. This is still Ole Miss we’re talking about.
I hate to be pessimistic.
But 20 or so years of watching Ole Miss sports makes it hard to be any other way.
I don't like this decision
But, as it’s the NCAA’s, I can live with it.

Is the cop your vols beat unconscious out of icu?
worry about your own team.. oh and congats on getting a player to decommitt from Duke ..Can’t wait to put it on the VOLS again on rocky top
the Ole Miss contingent...
……made a good argument. Congrats. You can’t just change the game on “intent.” He qualifies, or he doesn’t. Who appointed the NCAA as morality judges?
…..I think the league’s fans will enjoy watching Masoli play. At least until he rips off a 50-yarder against their team.
can we get a re-tally of the rebel confidence poll?
i bet it was off the charts about 2pm today
Oh, I bet they still sell...
….I mean, really…like somebody else said…this IS Ole Miss we’re talking about, here.
Remember in November.
sounds like 3 or 4 years from now....
there are going to be a bunch of dudes rocking FREEMASOLI shirts in Africa
