Is the Freep even covering this story?

The last time (when they appealed the previous ruling), it didn't even show up in a google search.

I think some small blurb that barely talked about why this was going on was buried on their website.

So ESPN is interested in this information, yet the local media isn't interested in gathered and examining the same data?

Rexrode has enough on his hands trying to keep the Bullough story under his hat the past 2 years.  Also it was announced this week (seriously) he is releasing a book (again seriously) about the UM-MSU game this year.  A full book.  Because Sparty.

The story I've heard from multiple independent folks is the he went home to TC over Christmas, got drunk with some buddies, something set him off and he roid-rage-pummeled one of his best friends. Like, beat him bad. The family refused to press charges and the whole thing went away. FWIW...

Neither PED nor recreational.  Every player was put through the NCAA testing rigors prior to the B10 CG that season (which was how a couple Buckeyes - I believe Noah Spence was one - ended up getting the post-season ziggy).

One poster is in the neighborhood of the truth in this thread.  I realize it's more fun to rationalize MSU's success away,but a simple rule of thumb would be, if johnnavarreismyhero is posting it, view it with a HEALTHY dose of skepticism.

Is trying to become the next Drew Sharp. An annoying troll that nobody likes. He just does stuff to get a rise out of poeple now a days. Judging by some of the comments on RCMB I don't even think there are many MSU fans left that like him.

Also the Freep was aware of the Payne and Appling rape.

There was a remark by the Feds that said the investigation was completely mishandled.

There was also a line that said the Detroit media had knowledge of it, but didn't pursue it because no charges were brought (interesting since Gibbons was never charged with anything and there was a field day with that).

Investigate a guy that used steriods (which probably opens a big can of worms) or investigate stretching.

msu also had a bunch of guys with DUIs/pointing guns at people, but guess which arrest video was posted on the Freep website - Minick!

Its funny how its the duty of the media to report things like egregious stretching and RR's saying bad words.  (Meanwhile Jizzo can have a sailor mouth because that's coaching and passion!)

Yet that same media withholds damaging information when it involves msu.
