This is so dumb if they were truly offended by this. Mississippi plus a noose doesn't automatically make something racist. I get they may be using this as an excuse, but the context of this meme is clearly not racially motivated.
Leach should not have apologized for this or erased it. I hate how sensitive the US has become.
Thanks for this!As a blk man 43 that is married and has college kids and two minor kids at home I for one totally understood the Leach tweet. Yes i understand the nature of the picture but my goodness this generation has been so pussified that its ridiculous. The man made a caption that deliberately explained what he meant and the uproar still happened. I enjoy Leach on twitter and we laugh on group text almost daily about something he has tweeted. Can't wait to see Twitter leading up to the Ole Miss v Miss St gm. This should be EPIC
Not this season...if there is one. Emerson, Fitzgerald and Gooden have that manned.
Don’t know if Gooden’s improved...missed season and all. See him more flanking the nose and providing depth there. Emerson was good and only getting better at the ole fireplug.Emerson and Gooden have both improved....I know JP would love to have a 330lb NT to be dominant in the 3-4 scheme like Clemson and Bama usually have......not saying this kid is him.....key word "potential"....

You don’t “pass” on talent...and I didn’t propose doing so. My point on Gooden is that I don’t know how he “improved” on his first season without participating in his second. If we land Lovett, I don’t see him manning the nose...there’s two other DL spots that could use big bodies.Regarding Gooden, I really meant he improved in the 2018 season, but like Emerson wasn't consistently great....Again, not saying this kid is, but he's built like Dexter Lawrence.......Remember Emerson was only a RS freshman last season and I'm with you, I think hes gonna be the man......I'll say this, I wouldn't "pass" on a kid like this....

Wait....so you're saying Memphis DOES HAVE A DEFENSE?Bama backed off, his final two came down to Memphis or Mississippi St and it was close enough that it was actually reported that he had committed to Memphis at one point. They are thin on the interior D-line so I believe they will go all out to get him.
Back to, Lovett, He is from the Memphis area and Bama recruited him hard coming out of HS.. I wouldnt be surprised if Memphis or Bama became his landing spot.

Gooden was the best option for NT in 18 and I’m on record for stating that. Emerson wasn’t ready and was coming back from a devastating injury...as Gooden is this season. The respect is mutual btw. You present your opinions in a conversational fashion which lends to an honest back and forth. You always take big bodies if there’s room to add and this one seems to be proven SEC quality. I simply don’t believe he’s better than Emerson at nose. And by that I mean I think Emerson’s better and will be even better with a year under his belt. A name both of us are missing is Kurrott Garland, who plugged away pretty well backing Emerson last season.Gooden improved from the beginning of the 2018 season to the end of it, just like Emerson last season......I would assume, and hope, he would have improved his body and potential since he missed last season as well.....I didn't mean for that to be confusing....my bad for not being clear....In the base 3-4 scheme, which Coach Pruitt has been wanting, but unable to fully implement for personell deficiencies ( like the one we're discussing), we need a dominant NT.......Lovett would fit the stereotypical type for a 3-4 NT......I'm not saying he's a must get bc I love Emerson, Gooden, and Simmons.........just saying he would provide some interesting competition at NT for us....
You one of my favorite posters on this site btw......I have opinions, but I also respect yours.....
