Says NCAA is "on notice" for forcing his Rebs to go to Baton Rouge for hosting of tennis regionals. Does he not have anything else better to report on?

only thing I can figure is that he must've played college tennis there.....

kind of silly, though, for him to make a "tennis regional" such a big deal.....maybe says something about the limited opportunities that Ole Miss has to "get in the spotlight".....seems like he'd have spent more time on bragging over beating UF and LSU last year in football than this silly crap!

If you watch him regularly you can hear him say some funny remarks sometimes against SEC rivals... for instance there was a negative story on Charles Barkley and his opening line was... "Charles Barkley an Auburn University grad......"

sorry I don't remember the story about CB.

He may have played some college tennis players there.

"kind of silly, though, for him to make a "tennis regional" such a big deal.."

In the big picture of "silly" things said on Fox News, this is very, very minor.

"We Report (in an incredibly bias fashion) you decide (whether or not, we are full of crap)."

He actually has a really good gripe. OM is ranked #2 and was among the NCAA leaders in match attendance.

They got royally screwed. That being said, Ole Piss!!!

Haha nothing wrong with that. I like Shep Smith. He always tosses in subtle smacks like this and many people don't catch them.

If it was an LSU grad saying the same thing, everyone would be so happy about it, so anyone saying he is wrong for doing it, quiet down please. Thanks.

I recall a couple of Halloweens ago Shep saying "ah Halloween, the time when the Tigers and the Rebs used to tee it up. That was real football, in the South, where they play real football."

Same shite happend when I was in school. I did my graduate work at Delta State University in Miss. Delta is one of the only schools in the South, in Division II, that has an olympic style pool. Set up for matches and the whole deal, well NCAA wouldn't let them have regionals there. I don't understand I mean I know why they do it but who the frick does the NCAA think they are. I know the thread isn't really about the issue, more about Smith but oh well.

Sheppard Smith is your typical smug and self important Ole Miss grad. It shouldn't be a surprise that he thinks national cable news is a good forum to bitch about college tennis regional hosting of all things.

Watching collegiate tennis is only a slight step above watching collegiate golf.
