This is so irritating as a fan.

For the past decade, EVERY offseason there is some kind of drama that leads to suspensions, arrests, internal discipline, and/or general bad publicity for the University. Not sure what the deal is with Steele and his situation being tied to JJ. Maybe it’s an anomaly, but I’m over us recruiting Cali kids...and that’s coming from someone who lives here. It just hasn’t ever worked out.

Also, pretty surprised the character concerns with Jalon Jones never came to light during his recruitment if he was a bad guy. I think that’s a bit of an oversight by Mullen. Granted, he can’t control every action these guys make, but eventually the narrative that we have a culture problem will return if we keep bringing in knuckleheads.

Just my opinion, but I think Mullen is in a situation similar to McElwain in this regard. Neither could afford to be overly selective. With McElwain it was because he was just that bad of a recruiter. So he had to take on the Lemons, Robinsons and Corrals because there was no one else. With DM, he's not nearly as anemic in recruiting(though still not great). But with our recent recruiting and overall image being what it is, he's not going to drop a 4* kid who fits his system and wants to be here, simply because there may be a slight character concern.Obviously he would if he knew the extent of the problem. But otherwise, I just don't think he has that luxury. Again, just my speculation.

Totally with you on Cali. I've said the same thing. The small adversity a kid from Florida or the SE goes through is much less likely to cause a rash decision than a kid who is now on the other side of the country from all familiar support. It just doesn't go well enough, and often enough to warrant killing days and days of flying cross country to recruit these kids.

Corners, LBs and safeties all sucked. You were just immune to McWilliams, Stiner, and Taylor sucking by then.

Sad but true.

Whaaaat???? Alchy saying you’re the product of your mother being raped.?. And your wife claiming to be raped by a black man but really liked it because you’re a limp dic.?. Nah... you didn’t miss anything. Just par for the course for him. I gave him a dislike and frankly I’m surprised he didn’t get dozens for his over the top, immature, drunken tantrum.

It is always hard to know what exactly happened, but if Steele wanted to live in a different dorm than Jones because Jones was a douchbag, then Mullen should have made this happen.

It sounds like Steele wanted to be around good people and not a bad person.

I imagine Steele will use the situation with Jones to get a waiver and be on the field at USC next year.

It's not that easy, there not that many empty rooms in the dorms there are probably 100s of requests to move because you don't like your roommate. There's probably a prioritized list somewhere and he was not on top of the list. I feel like this is used as an excuse to be able to play next year without having to sit out one year.

How many of those requests are from somebody who was rooming with a guy accused of sexual assault? I get that it isn't that easy, but this is summer... there are empty dorms in the summer.

Anyone else really regretting Mullen’s comments on Fields about something being horribly wrong if kids are leaving right away and then being lied to?

KronoGator · May 9, 2019

It’s over for Mullen.

The lost decade turns into 2.

Colorado will buy out those games as playing us will hurt their strength of schedule.

Next coach please.

Damn, I thought Kodak as a recruiting role model was supposed to stop all this nonsense

Who even cares about that? At their age what would you have done? Probably sleep on a friend’s couch until the semester was over with.

He certainly wasn’t in bed at 2am. So what was he doing? Seemed to be interacting with a kid that he “wanted to get away from”

Despite his crippling limitations in any area associated with basic human decency, a moderate degree of intelligence, or any semblance of an actual sense of humor, the alky does fulfill two vitally important needs on this board. He functions as both the village idiot and the town drunk - two distinctions for which he is eminently qualified and eager to live down to.

I saw some of this stuff elsewhere too. It will be seriously damaging and disappointing for sure - if any significant portion of it's true. One thing that does seem to ameliorate the situation somewhat is a post from Grimes basically saying don't believe everything you hear on the internet - plus the fact that some of the worst posts I saw were coming from "newbies" with little or no history and zero established credibility. I trust the veracity of donkey's input implicitly, which means that there may indeed be some bad news coming. But this "snowballing" effect just feels like some malicious disinformation may be going on as well. This is exactly the kind of crap I would expect from dwags and cocanes - may a pox descend on both their houses.

Please don't blame us....we didn't do anything. Besides,you have told us how bad we are....I don't think we have had an arrest in over 5 years and maybe that is why we are not so good @ the game of football. Kidding aside, I hope this issue (whatever it is) is not damaging to your program. It is not an accomplishment to beat a team when they are down.
