Well in other news grass is green and the sky is blue...

okay whether or not you agree with what he said, this was hilarious...

Not smart, but pretty funny. Certainly pisses all 35 fans of Ole Miss off.

 

[JoshB]

You mean the 35 fans that can actually read and use the internet, correct?

 

[bamaraider]

:confused-smiley-013 I was being generous when I said 35.

 

[JoshB]

lol i was being generous when I said 35 could read.

I've got a different take. Understand, if this pisses Ole Miss fans off I really couldn't care less. Their feelings have nothing to do with my opinion. In most cases, the best thing that comes out of Oxford is their women. (Sexist? You be the judge.)

This was a stupid comment. If Marlon was in front of the vast majority he wouldn't have said this. But since he's communicating with someone he knows, or at least appears to know, he feels free enough to voice his thoughts on Ole Miss.

I don't want to hear "he's just a kid." He's a smart enough kid to know this is incendiary and he's a smart enough kid to know putting things like this on social media outlets is just as good as saying them in public.

I see one beat writer putting tweets out last night about Marlon's future in track—which is glowing. Perhaps the cynic in me asks the question, "why put that out now?" At best, the timing was horrible.

I view it as just another school we don't have to worry about him going too :td:

This story just doesn't matter to me one way or the other.

This story just doesn't matter to me one way or the other.

When you read about the stuff Dee Liner got involved with during his senior year did you ever wonder if he'd have issues when he started college? I did. Now that he's not under the "leadership" of Trooper, Luper, and Chizik I'm less inclined to believe there will be a stumbling block in his path. That's got nothing to do with the point he's signed with Bama or Saban is in the HC. It's more about the track record of those three coaches and their players.

Now, with Marlon, I wonder about him. Now, it's not like he's having run-in's with coaches or law enforcement but he did demonstrate a lack of discretion—putting it mildly. I can't help but think about his brother Maudrecus and the trouble he got into repeatedly and wonder about both kids and their development into adults.

I'm certainly not fretting over a twitter exchange. I'm certainly not going to just push it aside and chalk it up to being a kid either.

You know, I was skeptical of Brent and look how that ended up...

 

[JoshB]

Yeah but like you said its not like hes out there acting a fool and getting in trouble. He made a joke about Ole Miss that probably alot of ppl have made (myself included). Was it dumb? Yeah probably but it's Ole Miss.
