The only reason we had more rushing yards in 2024 was Milroe if we’re being honest.

From what I understand, this staff allowed Smothers to enroll and start classes without getting him to sign. If true, this is on them.


Can't say that I blame them if he wasn't fully committed.

Regardless, do you really want a guy who would pull some shite like that on this squad ? He probably would've been making a lot of business decisions out on the field. Alabama dodged a bullet on this.


Give me a 2 star from Attala that bleeds crimson and lets go to war!

You baws can have CFB

Combination of this staff, the state of the game with the NIL, portal etc has flat out driven me to pick an NFL franchise to call home

This board has been whining about toughness for like 15 weeks while fantasizing about the program imploding during the same time

Can y’all be normal for once

No doubt along with the constant sensationalized media coverage has destroyed the sport that we all love.

Honest question... how was Lane and Ole Miss able to build through the portal the last few years?

Honest answer… the name says it all…Lane Kiffin! Kids want to play for him, especially offense. They’re not beating the door down to play for DeLoser!

Ole Miss' starting QB played D2 last year. Their starting RB was 4th string at Mizzou last year. Their leading receiver was at Penn State for 3 years before this season. Their 2nd best WR was at Oklahoma State the year before. Their 3rd string WR was at Wake.

Ole Miss is absolutely killing it finding guys in the portal. You either have to do that, which saves money, or you can do what OSU and Texas do which is just spent your infinite money to get the best players on paper.

It’s easier to accept failure with pessimism so I get it.

I believe we can find guys who will perform.

These money dudes simply aren't motivated until the playoffs start.

Miami lost to two shitty teams and look now.

Indiana is the way to go. A bunch of nobodies who developed and bought it.

Are we really flipping our shite because we didn’t get a RB named Hollywood and Cam Coleman (who we didn’t have much of a shot at or need anyways)?

I’m just incredulous that we’re whiffing left and right. If you look at the 247sports team rankings for portal signees. We’re at #25 (?!?!). I get it, we don’t have Texas, Texas Tech, A&M money but we’re getting absolutely smoked by nobody schools like Kentucky, Louisville, Arkansas, etc.

Is it incompetence from Courtney Morgan and/or we’re broke? Gotta be those reasons. If it’s money, not a lot that can be done. We simply don’t have any billion dollar alums.

Incompetence from Courtney Morgan can be fixed by firing him and replacing him with someone competent and creative. Personally, I’d fire Morgan and go after Ole Miss’s guy.

Not sure these are compatible statements.

We had no business going after either of them imo. We have talented WRs and Crowell coming in. Didn't need great guys. Need great guys on the line. That's what's pissing me off.
