Please amend your list. We're being referred to as 'America's Team' currently. A bunch of straight A, hard-nosed, chip on their shoulder kids that were rejected by other schools and came to Oxford to do something special together.


Perhaps the Bad News Bears?

That doesn't make any sense unless you lack the ability to develop players, which would have nothing to do with the school, only the coaching.
Are you under the impression that because you develop a player and they show out one season that they can't leave your school for a bigger offer from another school willing and capable of paying them more?

I'm counting overall which includes transfers during the Kiffin years, seems most accurate.

I understand you folks aren't really good with math and all but damned man, don't have such a hard on for Kiffin.


Yes.

Ole Miss has MORE transfers than Indiana.

Is reading comprehension even taught in Louisiana anymore?

Besides, it was literally just a comparison between the coach with the MOST transfers in relation to the coach with the LEAST transfers. I didn't even imply one was better than the other, just that one was the opposite of the other - you guys took it as a negative.

LSU fans just embrace victimhood it seems.

No, that's what I told fans of G5 schools when they claimed the portal was going to help them. Any players they develop are going to transfer out if they are good.

That doesn't make it the optimal way to do things however. Being able to develop your own talent(and keep it) while using transfers to plug in holes will be the best way to get things done.
