Definitely not the fact that we have a very good defense that has been consistently good under Coach White. Or that they had Jaxson Dart bottled up most of the game. Or that our DBs played incredibly well in coverage. Or faking injuries that backfired because it gave our defense a rest. Definitely not any of that.

Since when is sign stealing a bad thing? It’s part of any sport. If the coaches are too dumb to either hide them or change them, that’s their fault.

Why waste time stealing signals when you can use surveillance equipment to steal the play calls from the QBs helmet radio?

Also because Kiffin has mailed it in on the way to Florida.

Is Kirby also mailing it in at Georgia, because we were apparently stealing their signals too.

Not the fact that we have routinely had close games with Georgia (particularly in Lexington) because we grind out the offense to take control of TOP.

The QB is the only one who can hear the OC calling the play.. the rest of the players still have to get the signals from the sideline or QB.

Teams will steal signals. There is a reason most NFL teams huddle every play.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again.

Color coded wristbands. Change them out every series or every quarter. Then the plays are called using simple signs from the sideline. It would be next to impossible to steal those signs.

It's interesting. We apparently didn't bother to steal signs against the Gamecocks.

The real rumor isn't that they were stolen.

The real rumor is yall got beat on your homefield. Just take the L.

Another reason Hugh Freeze was such a good fit at Ole Miss. Nothing is ever your fault.

Weak excuse when Freshwater can speak directly to the QB until the play clock hits 15…unless they are intercepting radio signals, I don’t see a problem.

Sorry… but if you can look across the field and see what they are motioning in and can figure it out….. you should be pissed at your coaches and not the opposition.

I would guess there is a bit more of a legal punishment for hacking into a helmet radio. Doing what Stallion did or even just what Venables was known for is not getting you in much trouble other than your reputation.

1) Just because some redneck on a message board says something doesn't mean it's true.
2) What's our sign to tell our boys to get whipped in the trenches? It is some sort of a hand signal?
