That wouldn't happen in the SEC. Don't be ridiculous.

this is thread worthy for any 5 star recruit, regardless of their former interest in michigan
January 29th, 2013 at 2:35 PM ^
Don't know why this was downvoted. It's a huge stretch to assume that the kid was bought based on a photo of a few benjamins and a hand, which may or may not be his.
The kid's not coming. We'll be alright. Move on and forget about him.
January 29th, 2013 at 2:47 PM ^
January 29th, 2013 at 2:44 PM ^
We can't just let it go, or kids in the future will think it is right to post pics of themselves "making it rain" with "Benji's." Even if this money is not football related, this young man needs to understand he looks ignorant among other things due to this picture. I feel like there is only man who could say this better than I did. Well maybe there are others, but he would be the best.
His name is....

News flash, Herm is not a real person.
January 29th, 2013 at 3:50 PM ^
You shut your whore mouth.

David From Wyoming is right:

I've been fooled twice. Just don't understand anyone wasting so much time pretending to be someone else.
Maybe I should come clean...I'm not really Elmer Fudd. Whew...feels good to get that out there.
January 29th, 2013 at 4:49 PM ^
Well, ultimately, ChopBlock probably isn't a person named ChopBlock, so it's a pseudonym masquerading as a new pseudonym.
January 30th, 2013 at 4:36 PM ^
I don't actually believe Herm is real, he's just too fake old person-y. Not sure if that comment really "outed" him though...

Mark Emmert: please pick up the courtesy phone...
January 29th, 2013 at 2:11 PM ^
Why would he post something like that! I think we might have dodged a (Terrelle Pryor type) bullet here
January 29th, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
a freshman who leaves the program during Summer camp citing "lack of family values" that he didn't get his allowance from his folks.
January 29th, 2013 at 2:13 PM ^
January 29th, 2013 at 2:34 PM ^
In need of enlightenment here: who is that and is that a real pic?
January 29th, 2013 at 2:41 PM ^
January 29th, 2013 at 2:41 PM ^
Mike Bellamy, former Clemson RB (transferred to a JUCO school)...and yes, it is a real pic.

Grandma's money!
January 29th, 2013 at 2:13 PM ^
Yeahhh, regardless of where that money came from, that probably wasn't a very smart thing for him to do.
January 29th, 2013 at 2:14 PM ^
It's not 100% related to his college choice, but this does make me feel better. Two things come to mind here: 1. Taking money is not good, obviously. 2. How did he think it was a good idea to post this on twitter ever.
January 29th, 2013 at 2:15 PM ^
That could be any black guys hand! Cam Newton, Mark Ingram, The honey badger, Jordan Diamond etc etc.

I'll never understand the appeal of taking pictures with money
January 29th, 2013 at 2:48 PM ^
Exactly.
A rich man doesn't need to tell you he's rich.
January 29th, 2013 at 3:29 PM ^
I have ever known personally, drove a Buick Century (well, 2 actually) for 13 of the 20 years my parents worked for her. She is worth a few hundred million dollars. In my experience, rich people dont want anyone to know they are rich. They don't want to become a target
January 29th, 2013 at 3:53 PM ^
I drove an '88 Buick Century in high school, and it was BALLER. I could even beat my buddy's '89 LeSabre in a drag race. Ain't nothing that says high roller like a goddamned Century.
January 29th, 2013 at 4:42 PM ^
My LeSabre (87, but the same block & most components) could take all comers!
That actually isn't entirely a lie, either. That's the same block they built the Gand National on, so it had some power. Great sleeper.
January 29th, 2013 at 5:00 PM ^
blownboth doors of my 78 Cutlass. Had a 305 in it, but was only rated at about 140 HP. Went from 0-60 eventually. The late 70's Caprice/Cutlass/Regals were grossly underpowered. 10 MPG too.
And still, I loved that car.
January 29th, 2013 at 5:28 PM ^
The Gutless Cutlass. My parents owned one. Then they bought another, a wagon. They still don't know why they did that.
January 29th, 2013 at 5:02 PM ^
This story really doesn't have a point . Many people that are really rich also drive mercedes and ferrari's, but your correct that some drive normal cars as well (but that isn't really saying much...)
January 29th, 2013 at 3:00 PM ^
It makes it much easier to remember a time when you had it after you've blown it all on stupid stuff.
January 29th, 2013 at 4:09 PM ^
Funny thing is that there are 3x $100s, the back of a $5 bill visible at the top and maybe a few others beneath that in Treadwell's pic. That's $305 plus some unknown other stuff that may or may not be $1s or $100s or nothing.
Post a pic of a few 100s in cash and you can pretend you're a baller. But if you told the ladies you had $305 in your checking account you can be sure that no one is mistaking you for Jay Z. Something weird to kids about cash money.
January 29th, 2013 at 5:06 PM ^
And you made him dead.
January 29th, 2013 at 2:15 PM ^
Seems like a dumb thing to do...like committing to Ole Miss in the first place.
January 29th, 2013 at 2:15 PM ^
That happens all the time, I hear.
January 29th, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
I thought I heard talk one of the big problems with him and Michigan were his grades + standifer. Obvi this makes a bit of sense too
January 29th, 2013 at 2:17 PM ^
I mean, he's got at least $305 there. (the top most bill is a 5). To quote my cousin Vinny (from memory) "How do I know that's not a roll of ones with a 20 on the outside?"
January 29th, 2013 at 2:21 PM ^
Ole Miss boosters must be stingy bastards. "Come to our school and we'll give you at LEAST $305"
January 29th, 2013 at 3:02 PM ^
Ole Miss booster: "Laquon, I will give you $300 to come to Ole Miss. THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS!"
Laquon: "Bro. I am a 5 star WR, that's it?"
Ole Miss booster "....$305?"
January 29th, 2013 at 2:23 PM ^
Yeah, I think if he had more 100 dollar bills they would be more prominent. I think it's odd when people post pictures like this but I wouldn't start making assumptions on where it came from. He’s still in high school so there’s no need to make assumptions about his character.
