Last week it was reported that some 20 University of Mississippi football players stole pillows and clock radios from several hotels the team stayed prior to football games. Earlier this week UM announced that the 20 players would play in Friday’s Egg Bowl. I think if the roles had been reversed, Sylvester Croom, the Mississippi State coach would have suspended the players and not let them play in the game, regardless of the impact it might have had on the outcome of the game.

The Holiday Inn Express in Starkville has taken advantage of the situation and announced that their pillows and clock radios are secure. It was not announced whether the UM football would be staying in the hotel.
