BOOM!

Anyone who has ever gambled on a game that he / she has participated in / influenced needs to be forever removed more than arms length away from ever influencing a game again in order to protect the integrity of the game. Glad he is getting treatment, etc. but he went through great efforts to conceal his efforts because he knew it was wrong / illegal. If he is participating in a game, there will always be the question of "is he hiding his bets on this game again?" In order for fans to trust the outcome of a game, there can't be those questions about a player.

This statement is an embarrassment to Texas Tech. Hocutt didn’t ‘clarify’ anything - he basically printed out a denial, slapped the Tech logo on it, and hoped nobody in the Big 12 can read. The entire conference is calling them out, national media is dragging them, and Tech’s response is, ‘We swear we didn’t do the thing that benefits us more than anyone else'.... It’s pathetic. This is crisis management for people who think PR stands for ‘Please Respond.’ If this is the best they can do, no wonder Tech is the punchline of every AD group chat right now. They didn’t put out a statement....they put out a confession disguised as a shrug. Imagine being so deep in the mud that you have to publicly announce, ‘We didn’t secretly bankroll a lawsuit.’ That’s not exoneration - that’s desperation. Tech looks guilty, sloppy, and terrified, and this statement only made it worse.

She was going to be #3 at best at Tennessee, now she's likely #2 at Bama.

Interesting there is no adidas or Pat Mahomes brand logos on this statement

I'm pulling for him, he had no burst at all last year. horrible injury

In layman's terms, " We are above the rules. If you don't like it, cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it"

This is absolutely hilarious and awesome. I think the only one I know off the top of my head is Reese’s celebration.

Joey's an embarrassment to the THSCA Hall of Honor

You’re thinking of Derrian Brown.

The appeal to mental health is complete bullshit. It’s conflation of needing to help his recovery means he needs to play football for them. Rather, being a part of the exact same surroundings which led to this behavior in the first place is the most detrimental to any true recovery. It’s enabling and in the worst possible way.

You could give the young man a free education and unfettered access to whatever support he needs, while also not allowing him to be on the team after years of continued breaking of NCAA rules and betting on his own team. Showing the young man care does not necessitate him being allowed to continue to play football at your university.

This is a great time to remind everyone jump on and sign the petition! This guys a coward! https://www.change.org/p/remove-joey-mcguire-from-the-texas-high-school-football-hall-of-fame

Truly embarrassed all around for Texas Tech. I got my law degree from there and have never been more embarrassed to be associated with the brand.

I am all for supporting, monitoring, and extending resources to him. But he should not play college football again. You wanna make him a grad assisant and monitor his betting, cool. But his eligibility as a player should be done.

The best part of this entire thing…I’m not sure Soresby is really any good. Why are they letting him bring them down?

Gutless, unethical, lack of leadership, accountability and embarrassment to the coaching profession. Should never be allowed to coach a single day.

Lawrence Sampleton is the #1 #87 for me also. After retiring, he worked with my mother on a project for a school while I was in high school. Lawrence came over to our house and hung out around our kitchen counter. He was very kind and impressive. He laughed about playing for Dick Vermeil with the Eagles. The first few times Vermeil cried during a motivational speech to the team, Lawrence was really inspired. After a few of those speeches, the players would roll their eyes, thinking "here we go again."
