Ole Miss Players: Those Pillows and Clock Radios Are Not Yours

Which word in this news article jumps out to you?
Mississippi put 20 players on probation Sunday after they twice stole items from hotels.
Hint: it starts with a T and ends with an E.
A news release said the players have paid for the items, which included radios and pillows. Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron said in the release that the players will be on probation indefinitely.

Officials said the items stolen cost between $15 and $40.

"Any actions similar to this will result in more severe penalties which may include dismissal from the team," Orgeron said in the release.
Well, that's a relief. Glad to know that Coach O takes this little "widespread petty theft" problem seriously enough to threaten eventual dismissal if it doesn't stop pronto... or at least doesn't continue past one or two additional instances.

A complete spectroanalysis confirms that -- aw, hell, who are we fooling here? We all know this is just an excuse to yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-footbaw.
