I typically flip through the sports stations on my way into work most mornings. On my drive this morning, the 2 clowns on "The Horn" were covering the OLOL situation.

I don't have audio but a quick summary would include them framing the situation as LSU steals money/donations from cancer patients to pay football players. Would go on to say this is typical for the SEC and that the SEC is all cheaters.


Edit: This is the only LINK I can find. Their last uploaded audio is from the 14th so it looks like they don't do a very good job with keeping up with it.

The Anti-LSU propaganda is high in Austin. I really hope the Tigers crush them come September.

Let’s not act like it’s simply a coincidence the two families named so far are families of LSU football players.

I have UT colleagues that adamantly believe UT has never paid for players because "They're not like that"

I mean, it does look terrible that the guy who embezzled a fortune from a hospital foundation paid large sums of money to fottball players' familes.

Let's not act like they were cashing in cancer patients' gift cards and handing them out at practice either

This needs to be pinned at the top of the rant until the game is played

I don’t believe it’s coincidental. But going from a guy employed by OLOL, stealing money, go giving it to family of a football player, who then sends most of it back - to - LSU pays players with cancer patient gift cards - that’s a huge leap. The first is money laundering, which is illegal. But that doesn’t mean LSU is paying players. And insinuating they’re stealing money from cancer patients to do it is simply trying to play with emotions to make it look worse than it already is.

It's definitely not, and it's not just UT people.

I've a cousin who went to aggy, and at a family function a few weeks ago he was spouting off bullshite about this and Wade. I caught the end of the comment, but I asked him if he had any questions for me bc from the little I heard from him he was obviously ignorant of the facts.

He said no and not to sweat it that nothing would come of it. I said I wasn't but that if he chose to talk about it he should at least aprise himself of fact from fiction.

Certainly not a perception you want associated with your football team.

Not a good look ... to say the least.

I’m assuming this is Bucky, which is not surprising because he has some of the worst takes

Michigan fans are a good level above texas fans when it comes to this.

Texas is arrogant. Michigan fans think they are policing the game

Were you listening this morning too? I think they did say something along those lines..

I'll monitor their website and update the thread once they post the audio from this morning. If i were to guess a time it aired i'd say around 6:30-6:45AM.

It's call a "Financial Affinity Crime". The perp gets close to the target through close social relationships - like Funes got himself close to football players parents at games, gatherings, etc.

Nothing new here.
