This Ole Miss loss reminds me of a famous quote…

From one of our nation’s founding fathers, especially in relation to the Lane Kiffin LSU saga. It was on a cold winter’s evening in 1773 when Nathaniel Breckenridge, a reformed Loyalist, penned a letter to Parliament by candlelight expressing the Thirteen Colonies’ motives for secession from British rule. In that letter he stated, “Though he who behaveth not at the behest of propriety shall sacrifice his morality, reapeth, he shall, the rewards of proactivity in the stead of the former.” This, of course, was in reference to the Boston Tea Party which would occur a few days after.


The media and other fanbases can continue to vilify LSU for stealing Kiffin, but we shall reap the rewards of our proactive behavior in this coaching search, much like our nation’s founders reaped the rewards of orchestrating the Boston Tea Party. Those who are angry are merely loyalists to a bygone era of college athletics akin to the colonists who opposed the American Revolution!
