“We will use every avenue available to hold those accountable who tamper with our student-athletes,” Bjork said.
“As far as the limitations initially placed on the permission to contact, the restrictions are common,” the athletic department statement to Yahoo Sports said. “Until we were notified (Tuesday) morning, none of the student-athletes had communicated they were unhappy with those restrictions. Frankly, if they had any objections and a legitimate reason to seek transfer to one of the limited schools, we would ordinarily work through those issues with the student-athlete and his family. The student-athletes’ best interest is always the priority. Coach (Matt) Luke and (athletic director) Ross Bjork discussed the matter this morning. To be consistent, they are removing any restrictions on their permission to contact for all those who have requested permission. Our compliance office has reached out to the student-athletes to let them know.”

Can you summarize or at least specify what exactly is being spoken out about?
December 6th, 2017 at 7:57 PM ^
Stuff. And Thangs.
December 6th, 2017 at 7:58 PM ^
"Yes, we know, we got hammered by the NCAA, but we are going to try and fry anyone who is tampering with our players, even if they want to leave."
Mostly, there's some anger there and since Harbaugh was seen in Oxford this week, it makes him seem like the likely candidate for this to be directed at.
I'm also very confident that Harbaugh's knowledge or the person who is assigned to be Harbaugh's knowledge of the NCAA rulebook has assured him what he can and cannot do in this situation.
December 6th, 2017 at 8:19 PM ^
but I don't think the warning was directed at him. Tampering isn't best done in the open or by the head coaches themselves. I don't think SEC schools worry about Harbaugh cheating. They worry about him finding legal approaches that they hadn't thought of or their own coaches are too lazy to use.
He used much of his statement talking about the contact restrictions they're lifting. None of them involved Michigan. They do involve some schools that they know cheat..
December 6th, 2017 at 8:28 PM ^
You show up in Mississippi and you go to IHOP.
they brought this upon themselves.
December 6th, 2017 at 8:39 PM ^
I hadn't thought of it from that angle, but it makes much more sense when put that way.
December 6th, 2017 at 9:03 PM ^
most SEC programs have a designated tamperer on staff - line item in ole miss budget

December 6th, 2017 at 9:16 PM ^
...this is ironic...I am sure Harbaugh knows WAY more about NCAA Rules than than the entire Ole Miss Administration and Football Program.
December 6th, 2017 at 8:14 PM ^
This seems to be directed at the other SEC schools who are (were?) restricted from contacting the Ole Miss players that requested their Permission to Contact.
Michigan would be ok here as we are not a “Limited School” (unless I read it wrong)...
December 6th, 2017 at 8:18 PM ^
You got it. This seems heavily directed at the fact that they needed to lift a restriction due to backlash and the AD is not happy about that
December 6th, 2017 at 8:53 PM ^
Told you this wasn't over! Tick Tock..
December 6th, 2017 at 8:57 PM ^
I don’t get what you are saying
December 6th, 2017 at 9:09 PM ^
We both know exactly what I'm saying.
December 6th, 2017 at 9:17 PM ^
Sorry
December 6th, 2017 at 9:25 PM ^
WalterMitty, you've gotten a bit paranoid with your hunt for WD.
Read this guys post history and it's clear it's not him. Dual US/Cayman Island citizen (which makes sense with the username) and mentions having a son multiple times. Also, a completely different writing style from WD.
December 6th, 2017 at 9:48 PM ^
That is so creepy... I thought it was some joke that was going over my head.
December 6th, 2017 at 10:07 PM ^
we got your back.
December 6th, 2017 at 10:19 PM ^
How's your make believe 9 year old son doing?
December 6th, 2017 at 10:21 PM ^
Chill, man.
How about you lay out some evidence instead of firing off blind accusations?
December 6th, 2017 at 10:30 PM ^
I suppose you're right. I didn't care about any of this nonsense until he brought out Franklin, and now I'm taking him down.
December 6th, 2017 at 10:45 PM ^
You've missed some things.
December 6th, 2017 at 11:10 PM ^
This is hilarious. Go Walter! Take him down for us!
December 7th, 2017 at 9:17 AM ^
I am the one who will have to explain to my wife why some bat$hit f&cktard from MGoBlog is hiding in our bushes. I already found a picture of Walter Mitty trying to find my house in Cayman.
Luckily, I am pretty sure that inmates in mental asylum's are not allowed to have passports...
December 6th, 2017 at 10:33 PM ^
Is this guy off his meds or something? WTF is going on?
Don’t mention my family again - normally I would threaten to kick the living $hit out of you for bringing up my son, but you seem like a disturbed person so i will let it go. But don’t reply to any of my posts again or I will request that the mods delete your account.
I run two fantasy leagues with MGoBlog users so there are like 30 posters that know me.
December 6th, 2017 at 11:09 PM ^
Ok. Great. You run 2 fantasy leagues from "the Cayman Islands"... I didn't care about any of your silly characters until you created a despicable racist Black Face character, and I will certainly risk getting my account deleted bringing you down. But the guys are right, I need to bring hard evidence, so I'll leave you alone until I got you.
December 6th, 2017 at 11:14 PM ^
I feel safer knowing Walter Mitty's on the case. We don't deserve you
December 6th, 2017 at 11:56 PM ^
Damn, Mitty. The successful mole hunt was a valuable service to the board, but I'm worried that you're going all James Jesus Angleton on us.
December 7th, 2017 at 1:00 AM ^
What was the "successful mole hunt?"
December 7th, 2017 at 9:04 AM ^
No one gives a rat's ass about your virtue signaling about racist trolls. Everyone hates racists. You are not some bat signal in the sky inspiring us all. You have goddamm zero proof that that franklin asshat was WD. Or any other troll account is him, for that matter.
December 7th, 2017 at 11:47 AM ^
Not sure why this b@tshit @sshat thought it was weird that I was running two CFB fantasy football leagues for the MGoBlog community...

December 7th, 2017 at 5:18 PM ^
This just got weirder.
December 7th, 2017 at 5:27 PM ^
Someone attacked my family (even my 10 year old son), called my a racist and announced on the board that they were going to stalk me to find out I was some person they don't like.
I basically put up my personal Twitter account as proof that I am not this "WD" character that Walter Mitty has a boner for. I thought I would get an apology once I put up my posts but got nothing - so who even knows if I am still being stalked.
December 7th, 2017 at 8:54 AM ^
Fucking knock it off. No one gives a shit. You are not some hero of the board ya nut job.
December 6th, 2017 at 11:57 PM ^
Plot twist: Walter Mitty is actually WD and is just trying to throw everyone else off the scent.
December 7th, 2017 at 9:01 AM ^
So WD comes out with an email from DB that gets blasted all over the place and may or may not have had a hand in bringing him down. WD then gets a bloated sense of self-worth from this.
Waltermitty apparently outed WD or some other duplicate account? I have no idea because it was probably a big bag of nothing. But now waltermitty has a bloated sense of self-worth because he outed some trolls.
Waltermitty is indeed WD.

Last night conversation with the wife who got home late:
Wife: Did you make dinner for the kids?
Me: No. Got Burger King. Two whoppers for $6.00!
Wife: Did they take showers?
Me: Not sure. Don't think so.
Wife: Did they do their homework?
Me: Maybe?
Wife: What did you do?
Me: Trying to prove that Blue in Paradise is WD. See, he got Franklin banned, so that I couldnt keep combing through his posts to prove who he really was, and now he can keep posting about Shea, and Mo, and Oline worries, OSU, and anything else he wants under his other users!
Wife: (Long Pause) And this is important, how?
Me: Oh, It's very important. Very Important!!
Wife: (Longer pause) You are not going to hit your sales quota for the quarter, are you?
Me: Um, ..No, probably not.
December 7th, 2017 at 10:42 AM ^
tomorrow, be good enough not to burden us with it. There's a seriously unpleasant edge to the thing at present.
December 7th, 2017 at 11:20 AM ^
And to get this psychopath to stop stalking me, I have added a link to my Twitter page. You can see very clearly who I am and where I live.
https://twitter.com/cayman_go_blue
I even added a video of my son playing beach football with a guy from the Richmond Spiders basketball team who were down here for the infamous Cayman Invitation tournament a couple of weeks ago.
December 7th, 2017 at 11:32 AM ^
I may have asshole'd a little hard earlier. Bad mood at the time. Apologies. But I still think you're going a little too hard at this.
December 7th, 2017 at 5:16 PM ^
I can't believe that you didn't apologize to me after I put up my personal information as proof that you psychopathic investigation was dead wrong.
That's nice, so you trash my family, including MY 10 YEAR OLD SON, and call me a racist for absolutely no reason and then when I put the goods to prove you wrong, you can't even come back and say sorry.
You are a POS scumbag that needs to psychiatric help.
December 6th, 2017 at 10:07 PM ^
You sound like a villain from Batman
December 6th, 2017 at 9:02 PM ^
It seemed to be about schools that were under restrictions (read other SEC schools) that Ole Miss was mad at. Most likely Miss St. if I had to guess, given that some of the allegations against Miss might have been corroborated by Miss St.
December 6th, 2017 at 9:36 PM ^
100%..Just give me some more time. Thx. As far as the persona, let's just say that maybe he should be the one going by Walter Mitty.
December 6th, 2017 at 11:45 PM ^
But what are you talking about?????
December 6th, 2017 at 9:35 PM ^
Since that fits the description of tampering, which is their point of contention.
