You’re comparing us to the aggots, but not mentioning they won 5 games and 7 games after they bought their class.


Should i have to mention the number of games they won?? Everyone knows they hadn't won sh!t... despite the money spent on players. ole piss will be in the same boat.

If they don't win a "chip" will that failure exceed the 2022 aggies?


I don't think not winning a natty would be a disappointment. Not making the playoffs would be.

If you're a team like Ole Miss, then you look at the schedule and the current roster, and you decide when to spend your money and take your chances. That's what we're doing.

If get in the playoffs and win a game, we'll remain in good position. The player interest and money will be there to sustain in the short term.

One thing the Grove Collective has going for it is that we actually pay the NIL we say we're going to pay. It sounds like some collectives have gotten a bad reputation for not paying.

I think the whole system is unsustainable for everyone. I guess we’ll see but there’s zero real return from these boosters putting up millions every single year. They’re essentially bankrolling an NFL roster but won’t share in the actual profits

Not an Ole Miss fan. I’m not trying to be a dick but the constant conversation about Ole Miss and their spendings is getting old. Everyone pays and nobody on here knows a thing about shite.

So winning 5 games is in the same boat as not winning a championship?

This thread is a great look for you fwiw.

Ole miss has good resources for NIL but ole miss isn’t being dumb with the money contrary to popular belief.

-let players “walk” (Judkins) when financial investment doesn’t match headache/locker room drama
-let players walk when asking price exceeds slot value (2 portal guys Louisville stole)
-spending more on proven portal guys than unproven high school guys.

These principles are setting us up for sustained success and that’s why we have won 10+ games 2/3 years and have a chance to do the same next year. Kiffin has proven he can maximize portal players and not every team has proven that. It takes more than accumulating a roster to sustain success.

Yeah Lane learned that in 2022. He talked about how some of the portal guys caused problems and that led to the horrible end of the year. It worked a lot better in 23. It is almost like Lane knows what he is doing.


It’s not as though we have a couple examples of Lane saying either we aren’t going to up the ante (Baron & McDonald) or to telling a locker room cancer to hit the portal no matter how good they are!

I believe ole piss has forked out more for this 2024 class than the aggies did for their 2022 class.


Wasn't the 22 aggies the greatest class ever? OM is putting together a pretty good class but is it the best ever??? I don't think so.

What amount of money would that be? Do you think we spent $30M on one single transfer portal class? If so, I have a London Bridge to sell to you

I think some fans would be livid at their own collectives if they really knew the true numbers being spent.

Old money is smart money....
